-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IJITSA CFP on Critical Management and Technical Issues of Data Center Systems - deadline extended to Sep.30.2017 Datum: Wed, 23 Aug 2017 13:26:08 -0500 (CDT) Von: mmora(a)securenym.net An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): rory.oconnor(a)dcu.ie, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de ----------------------------------------------------------------- Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach (IJITSA) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue On: Critical Management and Technical Issues of Data Center Systems Submission Due Date September 30, 2017 Website: https://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/international-journal-i… Introduction Data Centers are installations specifically built with the primary purpose to house and provide the adequate environmental conditions (space, power, cooling, and physical security) for the computer and telecommunication equipment used in an organization (Snevely, 2002). However, by extension Data Center Systems can be defined as the whole system rooted in a physical Data Center installation that includes the human resource, the service, the financial, the procurement and the operations sub-systems. Data Centers (and Data Center Systems) have become a relevant organizational asset for generating valuable information resources and providing Information Technology and Communication (ICT) functionalities to local and remote internal or external end users. Furthermore, in the last decade, with the explosion of web-based and inter-organizational systems for these type of end users, in large and medium-sized organizations with international operations, the Data Centers Systems can be considered as mission-critical assets whose availability, performance, power efficiency, security, continuity, and overall effectiveness must be guaranteed in order to avoid critical downtimes (Arregoces & Portolani, 2003; Bilal et al., 2013). Industry reports (Siemon, 2005; ENP, 2011) indicate that 1-hr downtime costs in Data Centers installation varies from US $10,000 to US $6,000,000 to organizations providing services such as: ATM, cellular services, air line reservations, on-line shopping, package shipping, credit card authorizations, and brokerage operations. Additional to direct financial costs, organizations can also suffer negative impacts from a data centers downtime on: image by business disruption, end-user productivity, IT productivity, and third-party operational delay (ENP, 2011). Thus, Data Centers installations are currently key organizational assets, and their high value proposition in ensuring business continuity operations has been highlighted. . However, the planning, design, implementation, operation and control, maintenance, evolution, and disposal (when the useful data centers life has been reached) of data centers, in modern times represents a complex intertwined net of processes (Holtsnider & Jaffe, 2012). The explosion of ICT has introduced both critical technical engineering problems and challenges for Data Centers managers (Greenberg et al., 2006; Daim et al., 2009; Alaraifi et al., 2013; Covas et al., 2013). In turn, the economic, and socio-political environmental international issues have also introduced managerial challenges for Data Center managers regarding green IT initiatives, IT service management initiatives, IT managerial cost reduction, provision of effective valued IT services, timely release of IT services, and assuring a high IT service availability and continuity status (Conger et al., 2008; Galup et al., 2009). In particular, the conceptualization of Data Centers as service systems (Mora et al., 2009; Törhönen, 2014) and the link with the design of IT services (Mora et al., 2015) as well as their final implementation in Data Centers is missing in the literature. Furthermore, traditionally the knowledge sources on data center processes have come from the ICT industry. Thus there is a wide knowledge gap between the academic and industry sectors on critical management and technical issues on Data Centers at present. This is due to the explosion of ICT, the high costs for having laboratories type Data Centers in the academic environments, the lack of textbooks on Data Centers, and the scarcity of undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics (Schaeffer, 1981; Gusev et al., 2014; Memari et al., 2014). Nevertheless, we consider that knowledge with rigor and relevance must be produced from both academia and industry. ICT academia has published research on IT service management process frameworks, cloud computing performance models (Bilal et al., 2014), and other related issues. On the other hand, ICT industry has advanced with green IT metrics (Daim et al., 2009; Loos et al., 2011; Wang and Khan, 2011), maturity models (Singh et al., 2011) and best practices for software development such as DevOps (Kim et al., 2015; Stier et al., 2015) where data center engineers are included for a fast and correct software release (Pollard et al., 2010; Kliazovich et al., 2012). Hence, updated, integrative, scientific and practical knowledge is required to address critical managerial and technical issues on planning, designing, implementing, operating and controlling, maintaining, evolving, and disposal of Data Centers Systems. Objective This special issue pursues to encourage in the Information System community the interest and engagement in doing high quality research on critical management and technical issues found, lived and expected to be solved in thousands of Data Centers spread in worldwide (mainly in well-developed economies). Recommended Topics Topics to be addressed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following ones: Conceptual studies on: Fundamental concepts on Data Centers from deep literature review Classifications of Data Centers (business vs scientific; centralized vs distributed, tiers I, II, III or IV; private vs cloud vs ISP) Data Centers Architectures Organizational Designs for Data Centers Systems Data Centers as Service Systems Taxonomies of Services delivered by Data Centers Systems Value of Data Centers Systems Methodologies for Designing Data Center Systems Methodologies for Designing IT Services in Data Centers Systems Literature review on ICT Tools for Data Centers Systems Risk Management in Data Centers Systems Data Centers Metrics Data Centers Maturity Models Data Centers Standards (TIA 942, Uptime Institute Framework, IEEE 493, ISO/IEC 27000, NIST standards, among others) Simulation Models on Data Centers Systems Empirical Studies on: Implementation of Best Data Centers Practices (ITSM frameworks, standards) Critical Success Factors for Implementing Data Centers Economic Benefits of Data Centers Impacts of ICT Tools for Managing Data Centers Risks Factors found in Data Centers Systems Impacts of Data Centers Disaster Recovery Plans Quality of IT Services in Data Centers Emergent Practices in Data Centers Systems (Green ICT, DevOps, Cloud, Business Analytics tools, among others) Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Critical Management and Technical Issues on Data Centers Systems on or before September 30th, 2017.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Proactive Development and Analysis of Persuasive Technologies in Healthcare
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Proactive Development and Analysis of Persuasive Technologies in Healthcare Datum: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 05:09:54 +0000 Von: Dr.Usman <Dr.Sitwat.Langrial(a)suc.edu.om> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Editors Sitwat Usman Langrial Sur University College, Oman Call for Chapters Proposals Submission Deadline: August 30, 2017 Full Chapters Due: December 30, 2017 Submission Date: April 15, 2018 Introduction There is a manifest need for developing and analysing proactive and innovative persuasive interventions that can support people’s efforts to improve and maintain their health and wellbeing. Persuasive Technologies have emerged as a combination of state-of-the-art computing fused with human psychology, especially persuasion (without coercion). Researchers from across the globe have performed research targeting different domains using Persuasive Technologies, and available literature highlights promising results. Healthcare, however, remains a relatively understudied area when applying such techniques. Use of the Internet and mobile computing devices can help us reach a large number of users to provide them with novel persuasive interventions. Additionally, use of ubiquitous computing ensures continuous access to these interventions/applications, and can be used and applied at individual levels. Available literature indicates that users largely accept persuasive applications for healthcare and general wellbeing. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive reference book that highlights various theories, frameworks, study designs, implementation issues and future research directions in the area. Further, the effectiveness of Persuasive Technology-based applications for promoting health and general wellbeing is still understudied. It is therefore important to have a collection of scholarly articles that could be complied in a reference book for furthering the research area. The aim of the proposed book is to collect individual theories, frameworks, analyzed data and results and related issues that will help future research and enhance the existing knowledge base. Objective The proposed book will add value to the current knowledge base in the vibrant and relatively new research area of Persuasive Technologies. There have been 12 International Conferences in the area of Persuasive Technology; however, lack of a comprehensive reference handbook is evident. The proposed book will comprise of contributions from dedicated researchers and experts in the related area by highlighting the concepts, frameworks, methodologies, real life studies and future research directions for younger researchers. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of researchers, professionals and academics working in the field of Persuasive Technologies and Healthcare. Recommended Topics Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: • Computers & Persuasion • Persuasive Interventions • Persuasive Information Systems • Persuasive Interventions for Healthcare • Persuasive Interventions for Well-being • Persuasive Interventions for Mental Health • Persuasion and Personalized Healthcare • Persuasive Wellbeing • Conceptualizing Persuasive Technologies • Behavior Change Support Systems for Healthcare • Gamification and Healthcare • Frameworks for Designing Persuasive Systems for Healthcare • Implementing Persuasive Applications for Healthcare • Challenges in Implementing Persuasive Technologies for Promoting Healthcare • Opportunities in the Area of Persuasive Technologies for Health and Wellness • Future Research Directions Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before August 30, 2017 a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final call: Special issue: Value Conflicts and Information Security Management from Information and Computer Security Datum: Sat, 19 Aug 2017 16:16:03 +0000 Von: Ella Kolkowska <Ella.Kolkowska(a)oru.se> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Value Conflicts and Information Security Management Special issue call for papers from Information and Computer Security About this Special Issue This special issue focuses on a crucial but under-developed area in information security management, namely the complexity of information security management when different practices, demands, and management systems meet and create tension. In particular this means highlighting value pluralism, value conflicts and paradoxes anchored in practices, demands and management systems. Such value conflicts and paradoxes could appear within or between organisations, as well as between different societal interests. We also seek contributions elucidating how value conflicts involving information security, and the way they are dealt with, influence information security per se, but also organisational performance, working conditions, and life quality. Specific topics we invite you to provide submissions on include but are not limited to: *The balance of information security goals and, for example, business and performance goals within an organisation and in work involving several organisations *Coping with value conflicts involving information security in different organisational culture contexts *Managing differences in co-existing subcultures in organisations with regard to information security *Strategies for managing value conflicts with regard to information security behaviour *Frameworks and methods for analysing value conflicts related to information security *Behavioural and cognitive research into information security design, development, implementation, and use with consideration of value conflicts *State-of-the-art reviews on value conflicts and information security *Dependencies and conflicts between values introduced at legal, societal and organisational levels *Privacy trade-offs and paradoxes *Issues of employee and user surveillance with focus on value conflicts (i.e. security vs privacy) *Value conflicts embedded in management systems *Corporate code of ethics/conduct and information security *Cases of value dilemmas and information security *Value conflicts influencing compliance with information security and privacy policies, procedures, and regulations *Whistle-blowing and information security Important Dates: *Submission deadline: August 31, 2017 *Papers reviewed: October 16, 2017 *Revised papers reviewed and accepted: November 24, 2017 *Final versions of accepted papers delivered: December 18, 2017 Guest Edited by Fredrik Karlsson, fredrik.karlsson(a)oru.se<mailto:fredrik.karlsson@oru.se>, Örebro University, Fakultetsgatan 1, SE-701 82 Örebro, Sweden Marianne Törner, marianne.torner(a)amm.gu.se<mailto:marianne.torner@amm.gu.se>, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, P.O.
