LOCATION Praha (Prague)--also called The City of a Hundred Spires or The Heart of Europe--is situated in the very centre of Bohemia on the banks of the river Vltava. There live more than 1.2 million people in the metropolitan area. Thus, Praha is considered the centre of science, higher education, culture, economy and authorities. The city is divided into ten districts. Each of them offers its own charming atmosphere predicated upon its rich history. A good example can be the Jewish Quarter (Josefov) known especially for the legend of Golem and famous writer Franz Kafka. Then, walking the Parizska street (said to be the most luxurious street in the city), there is the Old Town Square. One of the most important squares of the city renowned for the rare Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj), number of galleries, Bethlehem Chapel and a monument of religious reformer Jan Hus. The next place of interest can be found in the area of the New Town. The Wenceslas square with the monument of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech state, is the longest square of the republic. Its capacity is fully used by various shops, restaurants, clubs and street artists. Also the renaissance revival-styled building of National Museum, which is now under reconstruction, is situated on the upper end of the square. Modern art and architecture together with technical mastery demonstration are represented by the Zizkov Television Tower, the Dancing House (Fred and Ginger Building) or the Stefanik's Observatory on the Petrin hill located in the neighbourhood of the quarter Hradcany. Also Krizik's light fountain or Industrial Palace in the area of the Holesovice Showground are worth seeing. However, the dominant feature of the skyline is still created by the Prague Castle and the Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral spires. The Golden Lane heading down to the Lesser Town shows the tiny and colorful medieval houses. There are many bridges connecting the banks of the Vltava River. However, only one of them is well known in the whole world--the Charles bridge. Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV promoted its construction in the 14th century. The bridge is 520 metres long and stands for a connection between the Lesser Town and the Old Town. It was built in the Gothic style as well as the St. Vitus Cathedral. Charles IV was also the founder of the University, which now proudly bears his name--The Charles University. It is one the world's oldest universities and with 17 faculties, 3 institutes, 6 centres of teaching, research and development it is also the largest and best rated university in the Czech Republic. The students can choose some of the 642 courses within 300 of accredited degree programmes in the field of medicine, law, theology, pharmacy, arts, science, mathematics and physics, education, social sciences, physical education and sports, and humanities. We are justifiably very proud of the fact that the campus of the Charles University is going to host the TSD2017 conference. ABOUT CONFERENCE The conference is organized by the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, and the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University. The TSD2017 conference is officially recognized as an INTERSPEECH 2017 satellite event and it holds the status of an ISCA Supported Event as well.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2017 Track on End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change – Deadline 3/1 @1p.m. EST Datum: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 15:30:04 +0000 Von: Frank Ulbrich <Frank.Ulbrich(a)ufv.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 23rd Americas Conference on Information Systems Boston, MA August 10–12, 2017 Call for Papers/Reviewers End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA) Frank Ulbrich<mailto:frank.ulbrich@ufv.ca>, University of the Fraser Valley Paul Drews<mailto:paul.drews@leuphana.de>, University of Lüneburg João Porto de Albuquerque<mailto:j.porto@warwick.ac.uk>, University of Warwick By adopting, adapting, or developing IS, organizations undergo a considerable transformation often referred to as “digital transformation”. As a result, business processes, business models, work systems, and end-user workplaces are perpetually analyzed, rethought, and changed. Rather than an organization’s IS function, today, customers and IS users are increasingly driving this transformation. In addition, systems in organizations are interconnected to form inter-organizational information systems. The complex landscape of IS in current organizations thus renews the importance of analyzing the interplay between IS and organizations from a sociotechnical perspective. Moreover, the emerging focus—especially in the U.S.—that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science suggests even greater involvement of customers and users on digital transformation in the future. This year, we especially invite research papers and teaching cases to be submitted on topics related to organizational transformation and IS, business process management, changing workplaces and IS integration, knowledge management and training, end-user computing, and IT consulting and inter-organizational information systems. Please let us know at amcis2017.sigosra(a)gmail.com<mailto:amcis2017.sigosra@gmail.com><mailto:amcis2017.sigosra@gmail.com> if you are interested in peer-reviewing manuscripts submitted to this track. Mini-tracks Mini-Track 1: Digital Service Innovation Across Boundaries Jens Poeppelbuss <mailto:jepo@is.uni-bremen.de>, University of Bremen Lars-Olof Johansson <mailto:lars-olof.johansson@hh.se>, Halmstad University Lauri Wessel <mailto:lauri.wessel@fu-berlin.de>, Freie Universität Berlin Digital innovation has prompted organizations to become more process-oriented, customer focused, and to re-organize ways to deliver and capture value through services. A fundamental principle of both process orientation and value co-creation is to span boundaries within and across organizations. In today’s world, such boundaries are becoming increasingly dynamic and therefore pose new challenges to information systems research. On the one hand, inter- and intra-organizational boundaries blur as people engage with each other on digital platforms. On the other hand, new boundaries can also emerge through the use of information systems in the process of creating customer value. Research on how organizations can manage and overcome intra- and inter-organizational boundaries with the help of digital technologies and information systems, as well as studies on related organizational, strategic, and societal implications, is subject of this mini-track. We encourage papers applying a wide variety of methodologies, including empirical, theoretical and design-oriented research. Mini-Track 2: Innovation and Business Process Management Frank Ulbrich <mailto:frank.ulbrich@ufv.ca>, University of the Fraser Valley Much of today’s innovation comes at the intersection of business practice and technology integration. It demands trans-disciplinary systems approaches that engage end-users, bridge silos, and extend organizational boundaries. Although the literature suggests that workers on the frontlines are often the source of solutions not readily evident at management levels, organizational transformation initiatives often fail to engage them in meaningful ways that capitalize on their insights. Appropriately engaged, end-users can contribute significantly to accurately explaining, documenting, and modelling their understanding of an organization, its business/organizational processes, and relationships with customers, effectively laying the groundwork for innovation and business process redesign. Little research is available on the role of end-users, appropriate approaches for engaging them, or the impact on work itself. This mini-track focuses on innovation and business process management to support organizational transformation, with a particular interest in the role of end users and how to engage them in organizational innovation, and effective techniques for capturing and modelling business processes from an end-user perspective. All types of empirical and theoretical contributions, including teaching cases, are invited. Mini-Track 3: IT Consulting and Organizational Transformation Paul Drews <mailto:paul.drews@leuphana.de>, Leuphana University of Lüneburg Andreas Drechsler <mailto:andreas.drechsler@vuw.ac.nz>, Victoria University of Wellington Over the past decades, the influence of the IT consulting industry on the use and the management of IT in enterprises has increased dramatically. Many enterprises rely on IT consulting services to transform their business and to change the client’s socio-technical configuration and work systems. In consulting projects, consultants often support the organizational transformation of their clients. They are assigned to analyze, propose, and implement IT innovations and to optimize processes. As consulting companies are organized as people-driven professional service organizations, they have to put great efforts into identifying, qualifying and managing the workforce. The current trend of digitalization will affect the organization, processes, methods and tools of IT consulting companies. Despite the prevalence of IT consulting projects in practice, IS research has not covered the field of IT consulting very intensively in the past. This mini-track provides a forum for research on IT consulting projects, the organization of IT consulting firms and consultants supporting organizational transformation. Mini-Track 4: Knowledge Management in an Age of Cloud Computing and Consumer Engagement Elizabeth A. Regan <mailto:earegan@mailbox.sc.edu>, University of South Carolina This mini-track will focus on the evolving concept of knowledge management within and across organizations and cultures. Today’s anywhere, anytime work environment is made possible by a wide-range of increasingly sophisticated communications and knowledge management technologies. Knowledge management, along with a growing array of collaborative tools and social media, has become increasingly mainstream for maintaining a current, competent workforce. Moreover, today’s needs extend beyond organizational boundaries as enterprises increasingly reach out to engage consumers in an age of self-service as well as collaborate with network partners. Current trends such as big data, analytics, cloud-based computing, Internet of Things, and enhanced decision support (Watson) open new challenges and opportunities for knowledge management. Fast-paced environments demand just-in-time learning and current information. This mini-track seeks to create a forum for discussion of the latest trends in knowledge management. Possible topics include: consumer engagement and knowledge management, creating a learning culture, fact-based decision making, knowledge management as decision support, patient engagement and patient portals, cloud-based knowledge management, or any other topic related to supporting knowledge sharing and learning in the workplace. Exploratory, theoretical, empirical and descriptive (case studies) papers related to knowledge management and the global workforce are invited. Mini-Track 5: Organizational Transformation in General João Porto de Albuquerque <mailto:j.porto@warwick.ac.uk>, University of Warwick Paul Drews <mailto:paul.drews@leuphana.de>, Leuphana University of Lüneburg Frank Ulbrich <mailto:frank.ulbrich@ufv.ca>, University of the Fraser Valley SIGOSRA invites research papers and teaching cases to be submitted on topics related to organizational transformation and IS, business process management, changing workplaces and IS integration, knowledge management and training, end-user computing, and IT consulting and inter-organizational information systems. This mini-track brings together research that focuses on organizational transformation but does not fit into any of the other mini-tracks within the SIGOSRA track. Mini-Track 6: Shadow IT: Threat or Opportunity? Markus Westner <mailto:markus.westner@oth-regensburg.de>, OTH Regensburg Christopher Rentrop <mailto:rentrop@htwg-konstanz.de>, HTWG Konstanz Nils Urbach <mailto:nils.urbach@uni-bayreuth.de>, University of Bayreuth Shadow IT is a widespread phenomenon and includes systems, services, and processes that are not part of the “official” corporate IT. Existing research recognizes negative aspects of the phenomenon such as security, compliance, and efficiency issues but also potential advantages such as faster technical innovation and flexibility. Estimations indicate a large extent of dissemination of the Shadow IT in organizations and trends such as Consumerization and Cloud Computing are reinforcing this. Despite its relevance in businesses, the topic is still an emerging research area and only slowly gaining traction. This mini-track aims to discuss different facets and characteristics of the Shadow IT phenomenon and the resulting transformational challenges and opportunities it generates for the use of IS in organizations.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: PhD Colloquium - IFIP EGOV 2017 and IFIP ePart 2017

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: PhD Colloquium - IFIP EGOV 2017 and IFIP ePart 2017 Datum: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 16:01:13 +0000 Von: Gil-Garcia, J Ramon <jgil-garcia(a)ctg.albany.edu> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 16th IFIP International Conference on eGovernment (IFIP EGOV 2017) and 9th IFIP International Conference on eParticipation (IFIP ePart 2017) 4 -7 September 2017, St. Petersburg, Russia Call for Papers: PhD Colloquium http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/ifip.working.group.8.5/website/confer… Deadline: March 15, 2017 Aim The overall aim of the PhD colloquium is to connect PhD students to the e-government research community. During the colloquium, you will meet other PhD students, younger researchers that have just finished their PhDs, and more experienced scholars. The initial e-government network of students and faculty that the colloquium provides will serve you well during the main conference - and hopefully in the years to come. Apart from offering feedback on your research question, related work, theory, method and results, the colloquium also aims to stimulate reflections on your motivation, research perspective and future implications of your work on practice and research. Target Audience We welcome all PhD students within the wider field of information and communication technologies in the public sector. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect that students at this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work. Participation Method Your submission should consist of three parts, namely 1. a research paper that describes your research, 2. a short CV and 3. a personal statement. The research paper should be single-authored and not exceed 8 pages in total. The CV and personal statement should not exceed two pages in total. There is no formal format for 2. and 3. The three documents must be merged into one file in the order 1., 2., 3. before uploading it to the conference management system. * ad 1.: The paper content follows a generic thesis template, including abstract, keywords, introduction with research question, related work, theory, methodology, and preliminary results. To make this colloquium most beneficial for the remaining work on your PhD, we want you to extend your methodology and results sections. In the methodology section, we ask you to elaborate on your motivation, perspective, philosophy, research design, data collection techniques, and analytical framework. In the results section, we ask you to present your preliminary results but furthermore, elaborate on the future impact of your results on practice (for instance recommendations for public sector practitioners) and on research (for instance disclosure of needs for new research areas). We recommend allocating 4 pages to abstract, keywords, introduction, related work and theory and 4 pages to methodology and results. * ad 2.: The brief personal CV (max. 1 page) should indicate your prior education, work experiences, personal interests, leisure time activities, family status etc. The CV is aimed to facilitate curiosity and informal contact with other colloquium participants. * ad 3.: The personal statement (approx. 1 page) should start by indicating whether you wish to apply for a stipend to cover part of your expenses (see below). After that, it should include your research motivation, your personal stances related to your research and the future achievements that you hope to realize, whether it is within research and teaching or in industry, an NGO etc. This could also include your future visions of global work. Furthermore, your statement should include 2-3 specific questions that you want the colloquium participants to focus on during the presentation of your research. More information about how the PhD Colloquium will be organized, can be found on the website. Submitting The submission should be done through the Easy Chair<https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=49461599.X1USdCv8CoKFUNW6> conference management system. Your submission will be reviewed by the chairs of the doctoral colloquium and may have to be revised according to review comments before final acceptance. On acceptance, you will receive further instructions for preparing your paper for the PhD colloquium. Benefits and possibilities for applying for a Stipend The PhD Colloquium chairs admit participants to the doctoral colloquium based on a submitted research proposal/contribution. Admitted doctoral students are required to make academic contributions to the doctoral colloquium (no sit-ins only). Upon admission as a doctoral student to participate in the PhD colloquium, the conference organization will in return grant the participants with a number of benefits. In addition, the PhD students can apply for a stipend to cover (parts of) their travel and accommodation expenses (these are the only eligible costs that can be covered by the stipend) if they so wish. More detailed information on these benefits and how to apply for a stipend, can be found on the conference website (link<http://faculty.washington.edu/jscholl/ifip.working.group.8.5/website/confer…>). The PhD Colloquium chairs and senior faculty members look forward to welcoming you at the PhD colloquium of the IFIP WG 8.5.
