Fwd: [AISWorld] Special Issue on Agile Practices for DW and BI Projects - extended deadline Oct 31, 2016

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Special Issue on Agile Practices for DW and BI Projects - extended deadline Oct 31, 2016 Datum: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 11:44:15 -0400 Von: Dinesh Batra <batra(a)fiu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Journal of Database Management (JDM) Editor-in-Chief: Keng Siau, Missouri University of Science and Technology Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association <http://www.igi-global.com/jdm> Special Issue on Agile Practices for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence Projects Special Issue Editors: Dr. Dinesh Batra <batra(a)fiu.edu> Florida International University, U.S.A. Dr. Palash Bera <pbera(a)slu.edu> Saint Louis University, U.S.A. Business surveys indicate that fewer than 30% of data warehousing and business intelligence (DW/BI) projects meet the stated goals on budget, schedule, and quality. Specifically, it has been noted that such projects are marred with delays, and changes in user requirements during this period may render the project irrelevant. Usually projects are available to end users after they have been fully implemented, which can take several months or even years. Other times, end users do not see the business value of the information afforded by the projects. Agile practices may be able to address the changes in end user requirements but because of the large size of the typical DW/BI project, it may be difficult to apply the agile values and principles directly and without some adaptation. The topic has gained interest among practitioner and two books - Agile Analytics by Ken Collier (2011), and Agile Data Warehousing Project Management by Ralph Hughes (2012) - indicate that there is evidence that the agile values and principles can be applied in the DW/BI context. The increasing popularity of agile development along with the widespread adoption of data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, and big data motivates interesting organizational, conceptual, and technical research questions that can be addressed using empirical, design science, and theoretical approaches. Examples of such questions might include: 1) How can agile practices be adapted for DW/BI projects to achieve customer value and project success? 2) Which agile methods are most suited for agile DW/BI? 3) How can a large DW/BI project be handled by an agile approach? 4) How can collaboration, coordination, and communication be facilitated when there are more roles such as data architect and system analysts? 5) How do competing maxims such as: individuals and interactions versus processes and tools, working DW/BI systems versus documentation, end-user and stakeholder collaboration versus contract negotiation, and responding to change versus following a plan actually work out in DW/BI projects? The objective of the special issue is to bring together about four high-quality research and visionary papers on a broad spectrum of key subjects related to Agile DW/BI development. Submissions describing research breakthroughs, definitive results of empirical studies, conceptual approaches, and visions for near-term research and development are strongly encouraged. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: October 31, 2016 Initial screening by Guest Editors: November 30, 2016 First round of review: February 28, 2017 Second round of review: April 30, 2017 Final Decision: May 31, 2017 Submission Instructions: Please submit the manuscript as an e-mail attachment to any of the co-editors. Clearly specify on the subject of the email that the submission is meant for the special issue “Agile Practices for Data Warehousing and BI Projects”. The submission must be in Word or PDF format. Manuscript must be double-spaced and should not exceed 7,000 words. A separate cover page should contain the paper title, and the name and affiliation of each author. JDM uses a double-blind review process and the authors' should not reveal their identities in the papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Decision Support Systems Special Issue on "Location Analytics and Decision Support" Datum: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:35:02 +0000 Von: Pick, James <James_Pick(a)redlands.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): Pick, James <James_Pick(a)redlands.edu> Call for Papers: Decision Support Systems Special Issue on "Location Analytics and Decision Support" (URL http://www.journals.elsevier.com/decision-support-systems/call-for-papers/c…) Guest Editors: James B. Pick, University of Redlands, james_pick(a)redlands.edu Avijit Sarkar, University of Redlands, avijit_sarkar(a)redlands.edu Ozgur Turetken, Ryerson University, turetken(a)ryerson.ca Amit Deokar, University of Massachusetts Lowell, amit_deokar(a)uml.edu The uses of geographic information systems (GIS), location analytics, and spatial decision support along with related spatial technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) are growing rapidly worldwide across all organizations as well as in mass consumption markets. According to industry estimates (MarketsandMarkets, 2015), the global market for location based services and real-time location systems is expected to grow from USD 11.36 billion in 2015 to USD 54.95 billion by 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.1%. Prior studies of spatial decision support have leveraged spatial analytical capabilities of a GIS to solve problems in routing optimization, location-based marketing, patient monitoring, and infrastructure planning and development in industries such as transportation (Keenan, 1998; Hess et al., 2004; Ray, 2007), healthcare (Belien et al., 2013; Sneha and Varshney, 2013), and telecommunications (Scheibe et al., 2006; Grubesic, 2014). However emerging spatial topics such as utilization of spatial big data, georeferenced social media, and volunteered geographic information (VGI) for location analytics, use of web-GIS and mobile apps for decision support, management modeling based on the internet of things (IoT), geo-design for decision support and analytics, space-time methods for decision-making in real-time, GIS-based decision applications based on unmanned vehicles and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) have received little attention in recent IS literature. This gap provides underlying justification for the proposed special issue. >From the standpoint of theoretical development, prior studies in IS literature (Dennis and Carte, 1998; Walsham and Sahay, 1999; Mennecke et al., 2000; Jarupathirun and Zahedi, 2007) have employed and extended theories such as the actor-network theory and cognitive fit theory to explain management and cognitive aspects of GIS and map-based representations. However theories that explain and contextualize spatial analytical capabilities of a GIS or location based services within the broader scope of analytics – specifically location analytics – are largely absent or are yet to be fully developed. Such theories may be useful not just in the private sector considering development and adoption of location analytics technology for decision-support but also for deployment for location based services in response to humanitarian crises resulting from large-scale disasters. Empirical studies have been conducted to spatially analyze data sets with a location component for strategy and planning (Kisilevich et al., 2015; Grubsesic, 2010; Pick, Sarkar, and Johnson, 2015) and some design science studies have appeared (Zhu and Chen, 2005; Ray, 2007), but the potential in these areas is far from being realized. The emerging use of GIS in business, nonprofits, and government needs to be further investigated. These include: environmental analysis and decision making, pollution mitigation, geo-design of smart cities, customer analytics, market analysis and decision-making, geo-demographic analysis, asset management, and RFID-driven logistics and supply chain management. Location is becoming pervasive with the advent of cloud-based web services, mobile devices, big data, and social media. Location analytics methods can be combined with well-known decision-making and analytics concepts and principles including those from decision support systems, strategic IS, databases, data mining, networks, web development, and mobile design. Statistical methods commonly used in management research can be enhanced by including location analytics and sophisticated geostatistical techniques. The goal of this special issue is to explore and gain knowledge of contemporary GIS for decision-making and analytics emphasizing the emerging areas of mobile devices, analytics, big data, and social media applied to spatial decisions, as well as novel decision-making models, systems, and applications that demonstrate today’s more pervasive, complex, and sophisticated locational analytics tools and technologies. Manuscripts that emphasize the following areas from theoretical, empirical, and design science approaches, using a variety of methodologies are welcome. Topics of Interest: · Spatial decision support systems · Spatial analytics for decision making · Spatial Big Data and decision-making · Design science and GIS · Geo-design for decision-making · Internet of things (IoT) and spatial decision support · Location analytics · Geography of social media and volunteered geographic information (VGI) for decision support. · Space-time analytics for real-time decision-making · Mobile-based spatial decision making and applications · Novel location analytics and decision support system applications in industry · Quality measures and evaluation of location analytics · Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery · Value-added determination of GIS and spatial decision support These and other related methodological, theoretical, and empirical contributions are all welcome.

Fwd: [WI] HPI Operating the Cloud 2016: Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] HPI Operating the Cloud 2016: Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:49:01 +0000 Von: cloud-symposium <cloud-symposium(a)hpi.de> Antwort an: cloud-symposium <cloud-symposium(a)hpi.de> Dear ladies, gentlemen, professors, students, and colleagues, Cloud computing has established the notion of a service as basic unit of abstraction. Services are "running in the cloud" and can be consumed via standard WebService interfaces. Services can be on different levels of abstraction - comparable to standard applications (Software-as-a-Service - SaaS), comparable to frameworks and programming platforms (Platform-as-a-Service - PaaS), or comparable to a (virtualized) IT infrastructure (Infrastructure-as-a-Service - IaaS). Although services provide convenient abstractions to their users, their implementation still requires some sort of infrastructure (behind the scenes). Often, infrastructure is composed into hybrid clouds - a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds). Cloud operating systems such as OpenStack try to standardize on managing cloud infrastructure - however, these efforts are far from complete.
