-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: SIG Cognitive Research Pre-ICIS Workshop Datum: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 20:54:44 +0000 Von: Shaft, Teresa M. <tshaft(a)ou.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The Twelfth Annual SIG Cognitive Research Workshop (Formerly IS-CoRE) Sunday, December 11, 2016 (Pre-ICIS) Dublin, Ireland Submission Deadline: October 2, 2016 The organizing committee for the SIG Cognitive Research Workshop invites research papers for its Twelfth Annual meeting. In addressing IS research questions, these papers are expected to use theories and methods from the cognitive and psychological sciences. This is a critical moment in time for us to rely on these other disciplines to complement IS research. The future of the Information System discipline is bound to involve human cognition as more and more systems are being used to meet our social needs. Human cognition deals with how we know things, through processes such as reasoning, perception, and judgment. SIG Cognitive Research is intended to represent and support researchers in information systems who view understanding human cognition as a critical component to the successful design and implementation of information systems. As such, the questions of interest that are relevant to this SIG group focus on IS problems in terms of the process of knowing. There is a wide range of diverse topics from which these questions can come. These include, but are not limited to, the ones listed below. * Situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition * Cognition in Virtual Worlds * Collaborative work * Group and individual decision support systems * Group and individual group problem-finding, problem-solving * Cognitive perspectives on human or computer-mediated knowledge-sharing * Cognitive perspectives on decision processes * Cognitive perspectives on knowledge management * Cognitive perspectives on the design or use of information systems * Cognitive processes of programmers/systems developers * Cognitive aspects of learning and innovation * Creativity and creative cognition * Design of user learning and training interventions * Human factors in information environments * Human-computer interaction or human factors perspectives involving cognition or perception * Research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors should submit full papers. Papers should be limited to 10,000 words, including tables, figures, and references. Authors must also include an abstract not exceeding 300 words. Papers are to be submitted electronically to tshaft(a)ou.edu<mailto:tshaft@ou.edu> with the subject line "CORE Submission". Before submitting manuscripts, please format papers so that: 1. the first page contains only the paper title, author names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses 2. the second page contains only the paper title and abstract, without author names 3. identifying information is removed from the file properties 4. all comments are removed and changes are accepted (if necessary) Papers may be submitted in Word, WordPerfect, or Acrobat formats. If submitting in Acrobat, please submit the title page with author information separately. REVIEWING Submissions will be double-blind reviewed. The organizing committee will participate in and coordinate the review process. Submitting authors agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested. WORKSHOP FORMAT The workshop is intended to serve as a showcase of leading cognitive research in information systems. There are no separate tracks or concurrent presentations. The format of the workshop is designed to enable open and constructive discussions of the research, in a spirit of collegial community-building. The workshop will run for the full day (tentatively 8:30AM - 5:00pm). A registration fee (TBA) will be charged to cover costs. Doctoral students are encouraged to attend the SIG Cognitive Research workshop. A discounted rate for attendance will be extended to these students. There will be special roundtable discussions of Ph.D. students' proposals. In prior years, students have found this to be very helpful. A separate call for students' proposals will follow this call for papers at a later date. EXTENDED ABSTRACTS This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers to help authors publish their papers in top academic journals. In order to prevent copyright issues for subsequent publication, authors of accepted papers will be required to submit an extended abstract which will be distributed at the workshop and made available on the SIG website. The purpose of this extended abstract is to highlight key aspects of the papers presented for discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis of the theoretical background, methods and findings of the full paper. The extended abstract should not exceed 2 pages of single-spaced text including any tables, figures and references. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: October 2, 2015 Acceptance notification: October 31, 2016 Submission of extended abstracts for program: November 18, 2016 Workshop: Sunday, December 11, 2016 Questions?

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [fai-saso] Call for Papers: 1st eCAS Workshop on Engineering Collective Adaptive Systems Datum: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 18:19:06 +0200 Von: Jake Beal <jakebeal(a)bbn.com> An: fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de 1st eCAS Workshop on Engineering Collective Adaptive Systems Date: September 12th, 2016 Location: Co-located with the 10th IEEE international conference on Self-Adaptive Self-Organizing Conference SASO 2016 <https://saso2016.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/>, University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany *Webpage:* http://apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/ECAS2016/ Call for Papers Collective Adaptive Systems (CAS) is a broad term that describes large scale systems that comprise of many units/nodes, each of which may have their own individual properties, objectives and actions. Decision-making in such a system is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the units may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. CASs are open, in that nodes may enter or leave the collective at any time, and boundaries between CASs are fluid. The units can be highly heterogeneous (computers, robots, agents, devices, biological entities, etc.), each operating at different temporal and spatial scales, and having different (potentially conflicting) objectives and goals, even if often the system has a global goal that is pursued by means of collective actions. Our society increasingly depends on such systems, in which collections of heterogeneous 'technological' nodes are tightly entangled with human and social structures to form 'artificial societies'. Yet, to properly exploit them, we need to develop a deeper scientific understanding of the principles by which they operate, in order to better design them. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used in order to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that we can better design, build, and analyse such systems. We welcome inter-disciplinary approaches. Suggested Topics (but not limited to): * Novel theories relating to operating principles of CAS * Novel design principles for building CAS systems * Insights into the short and long term adaptation of CAS systems * Insights into Emergent Properties of CAS * Insights into general properties of large scale, distributed CAS * Methodologies for studying, analysing and building CAS * Frameworks for analysing or developing CAS Case studies * Languages, platforms, APIs and other tools for CAS * Scenarios, case studies and experience reports of CAS Workshop Chairs * Jacob Beal <mailto:jakebeal@bbn.com>, Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA * Nicola Capodieci <mailto:nicola.capodieci@unimore.it>, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Submission The length of a workshop paper may not exceed 6 pages including references and follow the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. All papers should be submitted in PDF format using this Easychair login page <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecas2016>. By submitting a paper, the authors confirm that in case of acceptance, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work. Papers will be peer reviewed on the basis of originality, readability, relevance to themes, soundness, and overall quality. Workshop proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore in parallel with the main conference proceedings. Important Dates * Submission Deadline (strict): July 4, 2016 * Notification of Acceptance: July 15, 2016 * Camera-Ready Version: July 22, 2016 Registration All attendees at the workshop must register for SASO through the conference website: https://saso2016.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/

Fwd: [AISWorld] Information Systems Journal (ISJ): Special Issue on Making the Developing World a Better Place with High Impact IS Research

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Information Systems Journal (ISJ): Special Issue on Making the Developing World a Better Place with High Impact IS Research Datum: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:34:04 +0000 Von: Carol Ou <carol.ou(a)uvt.nl> An: AISWorld List <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Prof. Robert M DAVISON <isrobert(a)cityu.edu.hk>, Angsana Techatassanasoontorn <angsana(a)aut.ac.nz>, Antonio Diaz Andrade <antonio.diaz(a)aut.ac.nz> *ISJ Special Issue Call for Papers: Making the Developing World a Better Place with High Impact IS Research* *Special Issue Editors of Information Systems Journal:* Antonio Díaz Andrade, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, antonio.diaz(a)aut.ac.nz<mailto:antonio.diaz@aut.ac.nz> Angsana Techatassanasoontorn, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, angsana(a)aut.ac.nz<mailto:angsana@aut.ac.nz> Carol Ou, Tilburg University, The Netherlands, carol.ou(a)uvt.nl<mailto:carol.ou@uvt.nl> *Coordinating Editor:* Robert Davison, City University, Hong Kong, isrobert(a)cityu.edu.hk<mailto:isrobert@cityu.edu.hk> *Background* The practical impact that IS research can bring to real organisational and societal problem situations and their stakeholders should be of prime concern to all researchers who desire to make the world a better place. Governments and funding agencies increasingly seek evidence that the research they support does bring about valuable impacts. The United Nations has also taken a strong stance with its Millennium Development Goals ( http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/goals), which have now transitioned into the new set of Sustainable Development Goals ( http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org). Indeed, the critical need for positive impact is nowhere greater than in the less developed parts of the world. The focus of this special issue is on high impact research in the specific context of developing countries, also known as emerging economies and the global south. These countries, many of which are located in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, the Caribbean and the Pacific, tend to have an underdeveloped industrial base and a low human development index relative to other, more developed countries ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing_country). By high impact we are referring to research that demonstrates how IS has actually made a contribution for the better in a specific problem or problem area. The impact must be tangibly measured or corroborated in terms of change or improvement in a developing country context. Further, the impact must be tightly linked to the IS part of the study. This will require the documentation of strong relationships between the IS, any stakeholders, the problem situation and the outcomes. Potential or speculative impacts, or other forms of subjunctive analysis, are not appropriate for this special issue. Further, we are not looking for purely descriptive studies that embody no theory: consistent with normative expectations for the ISJ, we expect that all papers must be methodologically sound, theoretically sound as well as demonstrating high impact in the specific context of developing countries. *Focus of this Special Issue * In order to further the good work already undertaken and to encourage the undertaking of more high impact research in developing countries, in this special issue we are looking for papers that deliberately set out to demonstrate how IS makes a difference to the lives of people (whether as individuals or in groups) in developing countries and thereby makes the developing world a better place. This kind of research must thus be strongly relevant to the practical concerns of people in developing contexts. The impact should be situated in a practical context or situation that is experienced directly by the people who live there. The problem situation needs to be defined carefully and, as a result of the research, ameliorated in some tangible way. Notwithstanding this practical focus, we expect that published papers will still adhere to the ISJ's high standards of research rigor (with respect to method) and theoretical contribution. The range of topic areas which could be described as suitable for this special issue is far too large to list completely. However, broad areas include (but are not limited to): agriculture; medicine and health; SMEs and micro-enterprises; mobile and electronic commerce applications; microfinance; crowd-sourcing; sustainability. What is critical is that the research should be indigenously situated in a developing country context. Moreover, the context should inform the research design (including theory to be tested or developed): the context is not merely a place to gather data. In order to encourage more authors from the developing countries themselves to participate in this special issue, we will be offering a mentoring programme that pairs author teams with volunteer mentors. We expect that while the mentor will be a co-author of the paper, s/he should not be the first author of the paper. *Special Issue Associate Editors:* Ahmed Imran, University of New South Wales, Australia Alexandre Graeml, UTFPR, Brazil Christoph Schneider, City University, Hong Kong David Xu, Wichita State University, USA Devinder Thapa, Agder University, Norway Julian Bass, Salford University, UK Kevin Kuan, University of Sydney, Australia M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Journal of Database Management (JDM) Special Issue: Ontological Analysis in Conceptual Modeling -- July 31, 2016 (extended deadline) Datum: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:19:12 +0000 Von: Siau, Keng L. <siauk(a)mst.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Journal of Database Management (JDM) Editor-in-Chief: Keng Siau, Missouri University of Science and Technology Special Issue on Ontological Analysis in Conceptual Modeling Special Issue Editors: Andrew Burton-Jones, University of Queensland Peter Green, Queensland University of Technology Jeffrey Parsons, Memorial University of Newfoundland Keng Siau, Missouri University of Science and Technology The call for "native" theories in information systems has been strong over the discipline's history (Straub 2012). One answer to this call has been the ontological theory (drawing on the ontology of Mario Bunge) Wand and Weber introduced to the field in three seminal papers (1990, 1993, 1995). This work established three views on information systems as representations of human perceptions of a domain of interest: the representation model, the state tracking model, and the good decomposition model. This stream of work has generated a great deal of interest, and produced many papers using Wand and Weber's models to evaluate important phenomena in information systems. Notably, researchers have used ontological analysis to suggest how grammars for conceptual modeling and database design might be modified to be ontologically sound and they have evaluated the effects of these modifications on how well models are understood. As it has been 25 years since the early work in this area, this is an opportune time to assess the contribution ontological analysis has made to the IS field over the past quarter century and to look forward to new areas of application. We invite submissions that consider this issue from a variety of perspectives, including (but not limited to): * Theoretical contributions of ontological analysis * Practical contributions of ontological analysis * New areas of application of ontological analysis * Comparative studies of different ontological foundations * Design science research based on ontological analysis * Open questions in the use of ontological analysis Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31, 2016 (extended deadline) Initial screening by Guest Editors: August 31, 2016 First round of review: November 30, 2016 Second round of review: March 15, 2017 Final Decision: April 30, 2017 Submission Procedure: Please email your paper as an attachment to jdm(a)mst.edu and use "Submission to JDM's Ontological Analysis Special Issue" as the Subject of the email. JDM uses a double-blind review process and the authors' should not reveal their identities in the papers. References Straub, D. (2012). Does MIS Have Native Theory?" MIS Quarterly, 36(2), iii-xii.
