-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JITCAR 19.4 Published (Journal of IT Case and Application Research) Datum: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 18:30:28 +0000 Von: Shailendra Palvia <Shailendra.Palvia(a)liu.edu> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): D'Ippolito, Matt <Matthew.DIppolito(a)taylorandfrancis.com>, Bailey, Ray <Ray.Bailey(a)taylorandfrancis.com> Dear Friends Around the World: Please note that JITCAR has completed 19 years and has now entered into its 20th year now. Based on what I hear from the world renowned oldest (since 1796) publisher Taylor & Francis, the journal is very well received from individuals and institutions in terms of both subscriptions and downloads. You are invited to submit your manuscripts on any IT related theme. The journal prides itself on focusing on case research methodology. Only research methodology that is NOT acceptable is a broad brush survey and analysis. If the survey is backed up by a case(s) or interview(s), the manuscript will be reviewed through double blind review process. I am delighted to present the fourth JITCAR issue of 2017. The contents of this issue are: Editorial Preface article by Dr Edward M. Roche and Mr L. Walker Townes; first Research Case article co-authored by Dr. Lise Tordrup Heeager and Dr. Peter Axel Nielsen; second Research Case article authored by Mr Cheuk Hang AU, Mr Zewen Xu, Mr Lin Wang, and Mr Walter S.L. Fung; Expert Opinion report by Dr Jack Becker and Dr. Daniel A Peak; and Book Review by Dr. Deepali Bharadwaj. Summary information of these items is as follows. In the editorial preface article titled, “Millimeter Wave ‘5G’ Wireless Networks to Drive New Research Agenda,” the authors emphasize that the next revolutionary generation of wireless telecommunications technology will be “5G”, a new tranche of radio spectrum between 6 and 300 GHz. This spectrum will enable communications for autonomous vehicles, robots conducting delicate surgery, virtual and augmented reality devices, drones, the “Internet- of -Things” (IoT), and lot more. The 5Gs physical network infrastructure will be separated from the logical or virtual infrastructure. Authors go on to assert that “Software Defined Networks (SDN) will be set up and torn down, grown and lessened, according to demand. Complex network management will be aided by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The emerging international standards being worked on at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), envisage a system in which network control and circuit provisioning will be opened up to outsiders, including competitors and user organizations themselves. The complexity of the emerging 5G architecture will present an abundance of opportunities for practitioners and open up exciting new vistas of research.” First research article is titled, “Intrafirm Knowledge Transfer of Agile Software Practices: Barriers and their Relations.” Intrafirm knowledge transfer of agile software practices between projects for an organization is time consuming and complex due to the inherent high degree of tacit knowledge. Through a case study, this article investigates the intrafirm knowledge transfer of agile practices by utilizing the theory of Barriers to Knowledge Transfer as the basis. Using a conceptual model, the analysis reveals that the barriers of organizational culture, time and resources, knowledge strategy and motivation and willingness are related and as such cannot be understood in isolation. Second Research Case article is titled, “Establishing a Three-step Model of Designing the Polling Stations for Shorter Queue and Smaller Waiting time: A Case Study Using Computer Simulation.” It utilizes simulation to address the issue of lengthy queues and long wait times (which harm the voting experience and turn away voters) at the polling stations by analyzing data from the 2016 Hong Kong legislative election. The study addressed the bottlenecks of polling station successfully by reallocating the resources through simulations. The authors establish a three-step model for shortening the polling stations queues and waiting times. The Expert Opinion report documents interview by Dr Jack Becker and Daniel A. Peak with Mr Jack Dowling, chief executive officer (CEO) and Founder of Votum Technology Group (VTG), dedicated to improving client business performance through emerging technologies. Mr Dowling has deep industry expertise in strategic thinking learned through tactical planning, software product development, technology services, telecommunications, logistics and distribution. He has been an invited speaker and panelist at technology and investor conferences run by leading organizers such as CIO Magazine, Information Week, Goldman Sachs, and The Society for Information Management (SIM-DFW Chapter). Jack has over 38 years of experience including 23 years of C-level accomplishments in companies ranging from early stage start-ups to fast-growth Fortune 1000 corporations. He served as EVP/chief information officer (CIO) at Eagle Global Logistics, a $1.7 billion global logistics company; SVP/CIO at CompuCom, a $3 billion global IT services company; and in several key technology management roles at Sprint, a $10 billion global telecom company. Mr Dowling earned his BS in Computer Science in the Texas A&M system. Questions posed to Mr Dowling are: (a) Would you please describe your role as CEO at Votum Technology Group (VTG)?; (b) Would you please recount your journey to your current position? For example, what led you to pursue a degree in Computer Science, and why do you continue to be interested in this field?; (c) While at CompuCom you were involved with a major strategic change to their information systems. In essence, you transformed their product distribution system into one of the most efficient systems in the industry. What were the keys to your success?; (d) What specifically were customers looking for and how did you use technology to get them what they needed?; (e) Were there other benefits derived from the new e-commerce platform and its innovations?; (f) In 1999–2000 you were recognized for your exemplary success at CompuCom wit h several CIO-of-the-Year awards. One of those awards was the DFW SIM Chapter’s CIO of the Year. How important was this recognition to your career at the time?; (g) Recalling your role as EVP and CIO at Eagle Global Logistics (EGL) (2000–2001), how has the world of supply chain and distribution changed over the past fifteen years?; (h) How were you able to competitively leverage EGL’s information systems?; (i) Following that success, what led you to start your own company, Visual Business Intelligence?; (j) In 2003, you became COO/CIO for Truckload USA. What motivated this move?; (k) In 2005 you led the operation components of GlobeRanger, a middle-stage RFID software product company. Would you please explain how RFID technology influenced the next phase of your professional life?; (l) Then, in 2006, you founded Votum Technology Group (VTG), where you currently preside as President and CEO. What products and services does VTG offer?; (m) Creativity and innovation are a huge component of your business model. How do you stay on top of this curve?; (n) You earlier mentioned disruptive technologies. In your opinion, does one need to utilize disruptive technologies to bring about significant positive change?; (o) We wonder about IT and the generations of professionals who work in the field of IT. Does the age-generation of a person (Boomer, XGen, Millenial, etc.) weigh on your hiring, promotion and laying off decision process? If so how?; (p) You have said that we all have two types of intelligence: (1) native intelligence (e.g., IQ); and (2) our emotional intelligence. How should a person leverage and improve either one or both aspects of the intellect?; (q) What are some of the major challenges facing your firm today? In 5 years?; (r) In your business, how does the constantly-changing IT affect your long-range planning?; (s) On to your preferences. What are the things that you like best about your job?; (t) We have observed that you are very active with the Dallas-Fort Worth and SIM Chapter and SIM. What the b enefits of SIM involvement to you and to your firm?; (u) Are there other IT professional or service organizations you find beneficial for you and your firm?; (v) Can you think of any other topic we may have overlooked that our readers might find interesting? Book review report by Dr Deepali Bharadwaj provides a detailed critique of the 2017 book titled, “Analytics to Action: A Guide to Social Media Measurement” authored and self-published in 2017 by Mr Tim Cigelske. The author is the Director of Social Media at Marquette University. Under his guidance, the university has been named among the top 10 Most Influential Colleges in Social Media by www.Klout.com. Mr Cigelske has been a featured speaker and workshop instructor at the eduWeb Conference and the PR + Social Media Summit. As an adjunct professor, he teaches Media Writing, PR Writing, and Social Media Measurement and Analytics. In addition, Mr Cigelske has been featured by WIRED Magazine, 20/20, Harvard Business Review and The New York Times. This book is about how to capitalize on the immense opportunities offered by social media to promote and build brand name for a company’s products and services. Collecting massive amount of data is just the beginning. The book stresses the importance of analyzing “right” quantitative and qualitative metrics for informed business decisions and effective actions within specific business contexts. Using examples from daily lives, entertainment, and business, the author makes the relatively dry subject of metrics and measurement interesting through three sections named simply as Analyze, Assess, and Act. Analyze section has two chapters titled – Adrift in Data, Tip of the Iceberg. Section two Assess has six chapters appropriately titled –Answering Why (purpose of measurement), Answering Who (audience), Answering What (metrics), Answering Where (which social media channels), Answering When (timing of posts), and Answering How (choice of tools to manage social media) regarding a company’s products and services. Section three titled Act has four chapters– “Action to Analytics” stresses the need to continuously get feedback on published posts and analyze the data for improvement; “Reporting” recommends gathering all the analysis in a report to reflect if t he work can be improved through analysis of relevant charts and graphs; “A Day in the Life” gives a peek into the author’s activities as the social media director at Marquette University in form of a Q&A with a student; and finally “A Case Study” written by Sprout Social1 on how Marquette University uses its social media management system. Routledge, in line with the ongoing trends, has published this journal online since 2014. The website to find all JITCAR issues is: http://www.tandfonline.com/utca.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: "Research Advances in Multi-sided Platforms" Datum: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 12:38:16 +0100 Von: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Apologies for cross-postings*** Electronic Markets The International Journal on Networked Business Call for Papers Research Advances in Multi-sided Platforms Guest Editors * Nizar Abdelkafi, Fraunhofer Center for International Management and Knowledge Economy IMW, Germany, nizar.abdelkafi(a)imw.fraunhofer.de <mailto:nizar.abdelkafi@imw.fraunhofer.de> * Christina Raasch, Kühne Logistics University, Germany, Christina.Raasch(a)the-klu.org <mailto:Christina.Raasch@the-klu.org> * Angela Roth, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, angela.roth(a)fau.de <mailto:angela.roth@fau.de> * R. Srinivasan, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, India, srini(a)iimb.ac.in <mailto:srini@iimb.ac.in> Theme Multi-sided platforms (MSPs) have been around for several centuries. Only recently, however, MSPs have become prominent in the economy. MSPs connect two or more interdependent user or customer groups, and support interactions and transactions among them. Platform users in one group are more likely to join when more members of the other group use the platform. For example, the growth of the number of potential buyers can make the platform more attractive to additional sellers. These sellers can improve the level of service by extending the product portfolio on the platform, making it even more interesting to buyers, thus producing a self-reinforcing effect. However, these network effects are usually difficult to achieve in practice. Therefore, more research should be conducted to improve our understanding of them. There is a growing interest in MSPs in the scholarly literature. This is due to two key factors. First, platforms play an important role throughout the economy, as they minimize transactions costs between market sides. Second, MSPs appear to be the most powerful business models in the digital economy due to their potential for enabling value capture and rapid scale-up. Airbnb, eBay, Uber, Google, and Apple are spectacular success examples of MSPs. Such businesses have demonstrated remarkable growth and achieved high financial valuations. According to a recent study, more than 30 firms operating multi-sided platforms are currently valued at more than a billion dollars. Nevertheless, despite many companies opting for MSP business models, to date only a few have been successful. Consequently, there is a need for understanding the factors that enable MSPs to thrive. For instance, getting the first set of users to affiliate with the platform is a key challenge for MSPs. In the presence of indirect network effects, users on one side join only when there are sufficient numbers and quality of users on the other side, leading to a situation where no one joins until everyone joins. Strategies for resolving such chicken-and-egg problems still require further theoretical and empirical investigation. The success of MSPs depends on several economic and technological factors, which need to be examined in detail. For instance, the value propositions offered to every side of the platform, the easiness by which users can connect to it, and the platforms fundamental services are critical determinants of platform success. Thus, platform launch should be supported by mechanisms and strategies as well as technological solutions enabling MSPs to embark on a self-reinforcing path in order to achieve sustainable growth. This special issue invites original contributions that capture best practices and advance the state of the art, thus contributing to better understand the economic mechanisms and technological solutions propelling MSPs to succeed. We also seek to provide valuable advice and support for practitioners wishing to develop successful MSPs. We encourage researchers to submit papers with an economic and/or technological focus.

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2018 - Call for Papers (in conjunction with CAISE'18)
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] BPMDS'2018 - Call for Papers (in conjunction with CAISE'18) Datum: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 23:08:18 +0100 Von: Selmin Nurcan <selmin.nurcan(a)univ-paris1.fr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, BPMDS is a two-day working conference in conjunction with CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. One of the major aims is to discuss and to learn about concepts and techniques to enhance the ability to engineer software systems closer the business requirements. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds18 Kind regards, Selmin Nurcan *************************************************************************************************** International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2018) the 19th edition of the BPMDS series held in conjunction with CAiSE’18 11-12 June 2018, Tallinn, Estonia Submission deadline: March 1st, 2018 The Call for Papers can be downloaded from the BPMDS Web site http://www.bpmds.org *************************************************************************************************** --------- SPONSORS: --------- - Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE). BPMDS Working Conference is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1). ----------------- IMPORTANT DATES: ----------------- Paper abstracts (recommended): February 25th, 2018 Submission deadline: March 1st, 2018 Notification of acceptance: March 23th, 2018 Camera-ready papers due: April 5th, 2018 ---------------------- BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ---------------------- BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) using quality, relevance, originality and applicability as main selection criteria. As a working conference, BPMDS’18 seeks to attract full research papers describing mature research, experience reports related to using BPMDS in practice, and visionary idea papers. Practitioners are also encouraged to present lessons learned from practice. Papers submitted in the category idea papers will be required to be of relevance to the focus theme. The focus theme for BPMDS'2018 idea papers is Ecosystem-aware Business Process Modeling, Development and Support Today, successful business process modeling, development and support have to be aware of their ecosystem context. Business process modeling has to capture as many external contributions as possible, to integrate all stakeholders and to identify best practice knowledge. Coupling business process modeling with social software helps to capture these contributions. Business models such as multi-sided platforms are based on processes spanning over multiple organizations. The design of business processes integrates external resources as part of virtual organizations and outsourcing relationships. Decisions in business processes are based on advanced analytics and artificial intelligence using a multitude of data sources that are increasingly coming from outside of organizations. Also, the support of business processes is using external resources increasingly. Technologies such as blockchains externalize the business process support more and more. ----------- SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and/or business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes). We solicit resaerch papers, experience reports, and lessons learned from practice that contain results worth of discussion. Full research papers should report research in an advanced stage, including results and at least partial evaluation. Thus four categories of submissions are welcome: (1) Full research papers (could be technical papers or empirical evaluation papers). (2) Experience reports should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines. (3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Ecosystem-aware Business Process Modeling, Development and Support”, should address completely new research positions or approaches. They should describe precisely the situation and demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, meta-models, etc.`` (4) Lessons learned from practice. We welcome all practitioners to share with BPMDS participants and followers their own experience in the topics (see below) related to the BPMDS conference. This category of short papers with up to 8 pages follow the guidelines suggested for the category (2). Conformity with LNCS guidelines is not mandatory for this category. The accepted propositions will be presented during the BPMDS’18 industrial track and will be published on the BPMDS web site. Papers of the first three submission types should be of up to 15 pages. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Please submit through the conference management system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds18. ----------------- SUBMISSION TOPICS : ----------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Ecosystem-aware BPMDS - Which external factors influence the modeling of business processes and how? - How can the design of business processes take into account their ecoystem? - Which ways of business process support are predetermined by the context, e.g. blockchain ? - How does the extended organizational context, e.g. virtual organizations and teams, influence the modeling design and support of business processes ? Examples are social influences, social software etc. - How does the availability of a multitude of new data sources impact business processes? Examples are Big Data, Analytics etc. How is the heterogeneity of these data sources concerning reliability, security etc. handled in business processes? Examples are open data, social data etc. - Which new event sources, decision mechanisms, and rules impact business processes? Examples are IoT, dash buttons, voice bots etc. - Which new ways to accomplish tasks in business processes are provided? Examples are cloud-based infrastructures, microservices, etc. - How does the context influence the general structure of business processes? Examples are platforms, two-sided markets, blockchains etc. Business Process Modeling - Business process modeling languages, notations, and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business processes - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Domain-specific reference models and domain-specific modeling languages - Decision management and BPMDS - Business process modeling enhanced by social software and social networks Business Process Development - Compliance, reliability, security, performance - Knowledge-intensive business processes - Context-aware business processes - Cross-organizational business processes - Data-intensive business processes - Business process change management and governance issues - Enhancing creativity in business processes Business Process Support - Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business processes - Service orientation for better supporting business processes (appropriate level of flexibility, variability, granularity, ...) - Business process support combined with social software and social networks - Context-aware work allocation in business processes - Actor support vs. control support in business processes - Mobile technologies and context-aware business processes - Business processes using cloud-services ------------ ABOUT BPMDS: ------------ The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference. The BPMDS series has produced eighteen events from 1998 to 2017. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series are: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.bpmds.org/history ------------ PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling”, as the nine previous years (LNBIP volumes 29, 50, 81, 113, 147, 175, 214, 248, 287). Contributing authors may find all relevant information at http://www.springer.com/series/7911 After the BPMDS’18 conference, extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of the International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM).

Highlights of the conference will include a high quality single-track technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, tutorials and workshops. *Topics:* Original submissions of research papers on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: Platforms and Usage Models: * Cloud, fog, edge computing and data centers * Data-intensive computing (big data) and data analytics * Mobile devices and services * Ubiquitous and pervasive computing * Networking, network function virtualization, software-defined networking * Internet applications and multimedia * Internet-of-Things, cyber-physical systems, smart cities * Machine learning Systems and Engineering Issues: * Scalability and performance * Reliability and fault tolerance * Consistency, availability, and replication * Blockchain, Security and privacy * Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling * Real-time solutions and quality-of-service * Energy- and power-aware techniques Design Principles and Programming Support: * Programming abstractions and paradigms for middleware * Methodologies and tools for the design, implementation, verification, and evaluation * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and peer-to-peer solutions * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective approaches * Reviews of middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. *Original papers of three types are sought:* * *Research Papers:* These papers report original research on the above topics, and will be evaluated on significance of the problem, novelty of the solution, advancement beyond prior work, sufficient supporting evidence and clarity of the presentation. * *Experimentation and Deployment Papers:* These papers describe complete systems, platforms, and/or comprehensive experimental evaluations of alternative designs and solutions to well-known problems. The emphasis during the evaluation of these papers will be less on the novelty and more on the demonstrated usefulness and potential impact of the contributions, the extensive experimentation involved, and the quality and weight of the lessons learned. * *Big Ideas Papers: *These are papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. *Submission Guidelines* * *Submitted papers must have at most 12 pages of technical content, including text, figures, and appendices, but excluding any number of additional pages for bibliographic references. Note that submissions must be double-blind: authors' names must not appear, and authors must make a good faith attempt to anonymize their submissions. Submitted papers must adhere to the formatting instructions of the ACM style, which can found on the submission page, and should clearly indicate the paper type on the first page. The Middleware 2018 conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date will be the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library which may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the Middleware conference. Note that the official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. * * *Software and Data Artifact Availability for Accepted Papers* * *The authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit supporting materials to be made publicly available as “source materials” in the ACM Digital Library. The materials will be vetted by the Artifact Availability Evaluation process run by a separate committee. This submission is voluntary but encouraged and will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Availability Evaluation process successfully and are made available in the ACM Digital Library will receive a badge printed on the papers themselves. ** *General chair* Guillaume Pierre, Univ.

Mining such streaming and time-evolving data often requires to consider the ordering and temporal context of instances, which has been the subject of different lines of research: In data stream mining, the focus of analysis is mostly on the recently observed instances, and instances have a limited life cycle due to adaptation and forgetting mechanisms. In time series analysis, on the other hand, the internal structure of data points taken over time is considered. While the focus of this special session is on the problem of data stream mining, its aim is to present novel ideas from both lines of research that stimulate exchange between their communities.
