-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final CfP HICSS-52 Minitrack Information Systems Benefits and Value Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 09:18:04 +0000 From: Samuli Pekkola <samuli.pekkola(a)tut.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********** CALL FOR PAPERS ********** Information Systems Benefits and Value - minitrack Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) Conference Date: January 8-11, 2019, Grand Wailea, Maui Track: Organizational systems and technologies http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-52/organizational-systems-and-technology/ ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2018 ********** This minitrack focuses on information systems benefits, benefit realization, their success and related challenges, methods, processes, and practices, and ultimately, the value of IS. Papers with broad range of topics and approaches are welcomed. We invite papers presenting theoretical models, empirical results, or practical experiences, so that the construction of a converging and comprehensive view can be initiated. Organizational information systems are often asked to create value for the organization and/or its users. This question is usually posed before the systems are acquired, i.e. at the time of the investment decision. However, quite rarely the system's value or its benefits are evaluated after the system is in-use. The concept of value is consequently seen important proactively, but ignored when it could actually be assessed. There could be several explanations for this. For example the concept of value could be unclear as it contains several scopes, interpretations, stakeholders, and timescales. On the other hand, when assessing the value, quite often information technologies are segregated from their use context as this makes the evaluation easier. Thirdly, the assessment could be ignored simply because the system is already in use, and bad outcome could endanger one's position. Fourthly, the value of IS could be concretized only after a long time. These are just some example of difficulties in assessing IS benefits and value. Models and methods for understanding IS success, benefits, or value, benefits realization of IT investments, realizing the benefits of information systems in general, proactively measuring them before renewal, or retrospectively analyzing them at the project have largely remained untouched. It is surprising that despite the number of problematic IS projects, IS value and benefits realization are still little understood in the information systems researcher community. For example, such questions as how to proactively setting measurable objectives for IS benefits, how to choose an appropriate acquisition strategy and method for maximum benefits, how to define what value means in a certain domain and context, and how to measure and analyze the value and benefits of IS investments after the project, have been left largely intact - even though these are significant issues for practitioners and economy. For example famous IS success model (Delone & MacLean 2003; Petter et al. 2008) identifies the benefit realization model, although theorizes the phenomena on an abstract level. Thus, although benefits realization has been identified as the most important issue to be considered by IS procurement professionals in the public sector (Moe & Päivärinta 2013), the value, success and benefits of IS investments remain rather abstract in practice. Although the literature documents several methods and techniques for value assessment, benefits justification, management and realization, they have not reached wide utilization in practice. The situation is, up to large extent, identical in private sector as, for instance, business cases are difficult to write and different IS initiations are difficult to compare. This sets a starting point for this minitrack. We invite papers focusing on theoretical models, empirical results, or practical experiences on different aspects of value in IS context, IS benefits, benefit realization or IS success in the private or the public sector. Topics covered, but not limited to: · Value concept · Value or benefits realization processes and methods · Value and benefits realization as a part of IS development practice or methods · IS procurement issues, challenges, or solutions for maximum benefits · Theoretical models and frameworks for (understanding) IS value, benefits and benefits realization · Stakeholders involved in value realization · Case studies · Business-IT alignment and its relation to IS value · Utility of applying formal value assessment, benefits realization, or procurement practices For further conference details, schedules and submission guidelines, please see: http://www.hicss.org ********** MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS ********** Samuli Pekkola (primary contact) Tampere University of Technology, Finland samuli.pekkola(a)tut.fi<mailto:samuli.pekkola@tut.fi> Tero Päivärinta Luleå University of Technology.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Fwd: Cfp Reports From the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice, HICSS52 Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 01:57:30 -0700 From: Murray Jennex <mjennex(a)sdsu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, Murray Jennex <mjennex(a)sdsu.edu> Call for Papers HICSS – 52 January 8-11, 2019 Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems Minitrack: Reports from the Field: Knowledge and Learning Applications in Practice Papers due by JUNE 15, 2018 The HICSS conference, sponsored by IEEE, brings together a broad cross-section of researchers in system sciences—including software development, social media, energy transmission, marketing systems, knowledge management and information systems. Now in its 52st year, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is one of the longest-standing continuously running scientific conferences. HICSS is the #1 IS conference in terms of citations as recorded by Google Scholar. Accepted full papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library. HICSS publications account for the top 2% downloads of all IEEE conferences, and have been consistently ranked as the most cited papers in top journal publications. HICSS-52 will be held January 8-11, 2019 at Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii Call for Papers What is the role of knowledge management in practice? How do our theories on knowledge management and organizational learning contribute to real-world applications? While numerous journals focus exclusively on these topics, and several information systems-oriented conferences feature KM and OL-specific tracks, theory is at risk of drifting away from practice. Although not specifically documented in the literature, there is a gap between the knowledge systems research currently being conducted and the needs and practical experiences of knowledge workers. We should be aware that there is an active practitioner base of knowledge workers who develop, implement, manage, and use knowledge management systems. Likewise, there are countless practical perspectives on how to initiate, coordinate, and monitor organizational learning processes that need to have a voice. The goal of this minitrack is to provide this “bridge” between the academic and theoretical knowledge management and learning scholars that develop theory and the systems practitioner community that actually uses this knowledge on a daily basis. This mini-track encourages two directions of knowledge exchange. On the one hand, it addresses the question of how theory informs and impacts practice. On the other hand, it sheds light on how practice can influence theory. Methods can include – but are not limited to- case study and action research. Possible contributions regarding reports from the field in knowledge management may include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Best practices in using technology, processes, or personnel to promote: 1.1. Knowledge creation 1.2. Knowledge maintenance 1.3. Storage of knowledge 1.4. Retrieving knowledge 1.5. A willingness to contribute to a knowledge repository 1.6. A willingness to seek knowledge from a knowledge repository 1.7. Learning and unlearning processes in organizations 1.8. Communities of Practice 2. Specific challenges encountered in knowledge management that either: 2.1. Have been successfully been overcome in designing, implementing or using a knowledge management system 2.2. Those challenges that have defied resolution 3. Knowledge Management and strategic planning: 3.1. Strategic planning of knowledge management processes 3.2. Vision development and KM; theoretical and practical foundations of knowledge-based vision and strategy development 3.3. KM, strategy and organizational routines 4. Other challenges to the research community This minitrack welcomes all types of papers, both conceptual and empirical, using diverse methods to provide new insights into the fields of KM and organizational learning.

Lytras, The American College of Greece, Greece Jacky Xi Zhang, Tianjin University, China Kwok Tai Chui, Hong Kong Call for Chapters Proposals Submission Deadline: April 30, 2018 Full Chapters Due: May 30, 2018 Introduction On January 17, 2018 the European Commission adopted a Digital Education Action Plan, including 11 initiatives to support technology-use and digital competence development in education. The evolution of information technologies, mobile devices, and social media as well as the needs of students, workers, and academics has experienced rapid changes in the past several years. This complex and dynamic reality requires new forms of delivery of learning content to students, the building of special learning environments, and new teaching methodologies for academics. Old teaching practices (from the building of teaching materials to the evaluation processes and tutorial services) need to be adapted to provide customized and context adapted learning opportunities. There are drivers, barriers, and success factors within distance and mobile learning devices and systems that need to be explored and tested; such as widespread availability and/or the lack of policy support. The European Commission has funded a number of successful R&D projects focused on mobile learning. Additionally, several EU countries (e.g., Denmark, The Netherlands and UK) have supported the used of mobile learning in schools and universities. This proposed book aims to foster international exchange of academic insights and approaches and broaden the visibility in the development of technology for education, establish an international platform for interactions on information technology and application in education, accelerate innovation in education technology, and analyze the latest achievements and progress in new and emerging information technology for education, with special focus on higher education institutions. The book will explore initiatives, policies and cases to support technology-use and digital competence development in education systems around the world. It will discuss experiences and challenges at all levels, from academic staff and administrators, to researchers and designers; from institutions to open, distance and lifelong learning. It also addresses the topic from the micro of specific applications or instances of use in classrooms to macro concerns of national policies and also regional policies, like in the European Union. The book will universities, education institutions and countries meet challenges and opportunities of the digital era. The subject area is a combination of highly relevant topics: education institutions (with special focus on universities), information systems and technologies for education and inclusive societies. Objective The proposed book aims to be the leading source of information for all those interested in education management and emerging technologies since it promotes scientific discussion on policies, methodologies and approaches, as well as to cover the emerging research topics in digital education which will redefine the goals of education in the coming years. Furthermore, this book will show the capacity of educational models and policies, information technology and management for the mutual understanding, prosperity, creation of inclusive societies and wellbeing of all the citizens in the world. Target Audience § Politicians § Professors in academia, § Policy Makers § Government officers § Students § Corporate heads of firms § Senior general managers § Managing directors § Board directors § Academics and researchers in the field both in universities and business schools § Information technology directors and managers § Quality managers and directors § Human resource directors § Libraries and information centres serving the needs of the above Recommended Topics Topics of interest: • Case studies covering Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and USA • Challenges and opportunities for university education • Data analysis and foresights in education • Differing cultural perceptions of management in education • Digital competences and skills • Digital and entrepreneurial competences for female students • Digital libraries of educational content • Distance learning • European Union and platforms for digital higher education • Gamification • Globalization and education • Higher education systems • Knowledge portals • Learning analytics • Learning spaces • Long-life learning • Mobile learning • Open educational resources • Technology platforms in education • Validation of digitally acquired skills in education systems • Virtual Learning • Virtual reality and education • Virtual universities Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a 2-3-page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter (Deadline June 15, 2018).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2018) - co-located with MODELS 2018 Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 15:18:11 +0000 From: Bousse, Erwan Gwendal <erwan.bousse(a)tuwien.ac.at> Reply-To: Bousse, Erwan Gwendal <erwan.bousse(a)tuwien.ac.at> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: 4th International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2018) Co-located with MODELS 2018, October 14, 2018 Copenhagen, Denmark http://www.modelexecution.org/exe2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the Fourth International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2018), held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE 20th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS) at Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 14, 2018. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope and Topics ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The complexity of modern software-intensive systems, time-to-market pressures, and the need for high quality systems are current challenges faced by the software and systems engineering industry. To address these challenges, model-driven engineering (MDE) advocates the elevation of models into the center of the development process. Models provide abstractions over the system to be developed, while also providing enough detail to automate the development of implementation artifacts and perform early analysis. In this context, executable models become more and more important. They provide abstractions of complex system behaviors and constitute the basis for performing early analyses of that behavior. The ability to analyze a system’s behavior early in its development has the potential to turn executable models into important assets of model-driven software development processes. Despite the potential benefits of executable models, there are still many challenges to solve, such as the lack of maturity in the definition of and tooling for executable modeling languages, and the limited experience with executable modeling in much of the software and systems development industry. EXE 2018 will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss these challenges and propose potential solutions, as well as to assess and advance the state-of-the- art in this area. Topics of interest to the workshop include but are not limited to the following: - Methodologies, languages, techniques, and methods for designing and implementing executable modeling languages - Case studies and experience reports on the successful or failed adoption of executable modeling in different application domains and application contexts - Model execution tools for the (dynamic) validation, verification, and testing of systems (e.g., model animation, debugging, simulation, trace exploration, model checking, symbolic execution) - Tracing model executions and analyzing model execution traces - Automation techniques for the development of model execution tools - Evolution in the context of executable modeling (e.g., evolution of executable modeling languages, execution semantics, executable models, model execution tools) - Verification of semantic conformance (e.g., among executable modeling languages, executable models, model execution tools) - Customization of executable modeling languages and model execution tools (e.g., semantic variation points,profiles) - Composition, extension, and reuse of executable modeling languages and model execution tools - Integration of executable modeling languages and programming languages - Semantics-aware model transformations and code generation - Scalability of model execution and execution-based model analysis - Execution of partial and underspecified models - Model execution in the presence of non-determinism and concurrency - Surveys and benchmarks of different approaches for the development of executable modeling languages, model execution, and execution-based model analysis --------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We will accept the following types of submissions: 1) Research papers (up to 6 pages) presenting novel and innovative approaches in executable modeling. We also strongly encourage the submission of comparative studies and benchmarks of existing approaches in one of the workshop topics. 2) Experience reports (up to 6 pages) presenting experiences and lessons learned in executable modeling. Experience reports should discuss knowledge gained from an executable modeling project and identify key challenges encountered. 3) Position papers (up to 3 pages) presenting new ideas or early research results in executable modeling. 4) Tool demonstration papers (up to 3 pages) presenting novel tools or novel features of state-of-the-art tools related to executable modeling. Submissions of tool demonstration papers should consist of two parts. The first part (up to 3 pages) will be included in the proceedings and should describe the tool presented (please include the URL of the tool if available). The second part (up to 2 pages) should explain how the tool demonstration will be carried out at the workshop, including examples and screenshots. All submissions have to follow the ACM sigconf formatting instructions available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Submissions created with LaTeX are preferred, but using Word is allowed. Submit your paper electronically as PDF via EasyChair at https://easych air.org/conferences/?conf=exe2018. All submissions will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee. Research papers, experience reports, and tool demonstration papers will be evaluated concerning novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and alignment with the workshop call. Position papers will be evaluated primarily concerning validity and ability to generate discussion (even controversy), as well as alignment with the workshop call. Furthermore, all submissions must be original work and must not have been previously published or being under review elsewhere. For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors must register for the workshop, participate fully in the workshop, and present the paper at the workshop. A pre-workshop version of the accepted papers will be available on the workshop website and a post-workshop version will be published as CEUR workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Format ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EXE 2018 is a full-day workshop held as part of MODELS 2018. We plan to have one keynote talk in the morning, followed by two sessions of presentations of the accepted papers. The last session of the day will be a discussion session, where challenges, questions, experiences, opinions, and requirements related to executable modeling will be discussed. The detailed program will be announced in August, shortly after the author notifications have been sent. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Abstract submission deadline: July 10, 2018 - Submission deadline: July 17, 2018 - Author notification: August 17, 2018 - Submission deadline for camera-ready version: August 21, 2018 - Workshop: October 14, 2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Tanja Mayerhofer, TU Wien, AT - Philip Langer, EclipseSource, AT - Ed Seidewitz, nMeta, US - Jeff Gray, University of Alabama, US - Erwan Bousse, TU Wien, AT Contact: exe(a)modelexecution.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Francis Bordeleau, Canada - Andrei Chiş, feenk, Switzerland - Federico Ciccozzi, Mälardalen University, Sweden - Tony Clark, Aston University, United Kingdom - Peter Clarke, Florida International University, United States - Benoit Combemale, IRISA and University of Rennes, France - Jonathan Corley, University West Georgia, USA - Julien Deantoni, University Nice Sophia Antipolis, CNRS, I3S, Inria, France - Thomas Degueule, CWI, The Netherlands - Davide Di Ruscio, University of L'Aquila, Italy - Juergen Dingel, Queen's University, Canada - Nicolas Hili, IRT Saint Exupéry, France - Nicholas Matragkas, University of Hull, United Kingdom - Marjan Mernik, University of Maribor, Slovenia - Zoltan Micskei, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary - Domenik Pavletic, Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany - Ernesto Posse, Zeligsoft, Canada - Taylor Riche, National Instruments, United States - Bran Selic, Malina Software Corporation, Canada - Cortland Starrett, One Fact Inc, United States - Jérémie Tatibouët, CEA, France - Massimo Tisi, Ecole des Mines de Nantes, France - Simon Van Mierlo, University of Antwerp, Belgium - Andreas Wortmann, RWTH Aachen University, Germany - Thanos Zolotas, University of York, United Kingdom -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP - Workshop on the Globalization of Modeling Languages (GEMOC 2018) - co-located with MODELS 2018 Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 14:53:18 +0000 From: Bousse, Erwan Gwendal <erwan.bousse(a)tuwien.ac.at> Reply-To: Bousse, Erwan Gwendal <erwan.bousse(a)tuwien.ac.at> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: 6th International Workshop on the Globalization of Modeling Languages (GEMOC 2018) co-located with MODELS 2018, October 15 2018, Copenhagen, Denmark http://gemoc.org/events/gemoc2018 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the 6th International Workshop on the Globalization of Modeling Languages (GEMOC 2018), held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE 21th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS) at Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 15 2018. --------------------------- Context and Motivation --------------------------- Software intensive systems are becoming more complex, driven by the need to integrate across multiple concerns. Consequently, the development of such systems requires the integration of different concerns and skills. These concerns are usually covered by different languages, with specific concepts, technologies and abstraction levels. This multiplication of languages eases the development related to one specific concern but raises language and technology integration problems at the different stages of the software life cycle. In order to reason about the global system, it becomes necessary to explicitly describe the different kinds of relationships that exist between the different languages used in the development of a complex system. To support effective language integration, there is a pressing need to reify and classify these relationships, as well as the language interactions that the relationships enable. The 2018 edition of the GEMOC workshop will follow the successful previous five editions: GEMOC at MODELS 2013 in Miami, USA, GEMOC at MODELS 2014 in Valencia, Spain, GEMOC at MODELS 2015 in Ottawa, Canada, GEMOC at MODELS 2016 in Saint-Malo, France, and GEMOC at MODELS 2017 in Austin, TX, USA. This edition will complete the state-of-the-art and practice initiated during the last years. It will also strengthen the community that broadens the current DSML research focus beyond the development of independent DSMLs to a research focus that provides support for globalized DSMLs. GEMOC 2018 is supported by the GEMOC initiative and its associated Eclipse Research consortium, which promotes research seeking to develop the necessary breakthroughs in software languages to support global software engineering, i.e., breakthroughs that lead to effective technologies supporting different forms of language integration, including language collaboration, interoperability and composability. --------------------------- Topics --------------------------- The topics of interest for GEMOC 2018 include: * Tools and methods for engineering modeling languages * Composability and interoperability of heterogeneous modeling languages * Language integration challenges, from requirement to design, for analysis and simulation, during runtime, etc. * Model and metamodel composition * Language interface, viewpoint * Heterogeneous modeling and simulation * Language-based socio-technical coordination * Multi-language or multi-disciplinary environment Submissions describing practical and industrial experience related to the use of heterogeneous modeling languages are also encouraged, particularly in the following application domains: * Cyber-Physical Systems, System of Systems * Internet of Services, Internet of Things * Complex Adaptive Systems * Smart City, Smart Building, Home automation * Smart Grids, management of renewable and intermittent energy sources * Industry 4.0 and the smart factory of the future --------------------------- Submissions --------------------------- As contributions, we expect early research results about the aforementioned topics, descriptions of case studies on the coordinated use of multiple modeling languages, and/or descriptions of practical experience, opinions and related approaches. Each contribution must be described in a short paper not exceeding 3 pages in the ACM sigconf format, or a full paper not exceeding 6 pages in the ACM sigconf format. Each paper should describe problems, case studies, or solutions related to the topics of interest. Each paper is expected to highlight the relationships between modeling languages, as well as their management. Papers that describe use cases, or novel integration approaches can be accompanied by concrete artifacts, such as models (requirements, design, analysis, transformation, composition, etc.), stored in a public repository (e.g., ReMoDD). Artifacts should illustrate any experience on the conjoint use of different modeling languages. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The program chairs will apply the principles of the ACM Plagiarism Policy throughout the submission and review process. All contributions will be reviewed and selected by the program committee members. Each contribution must be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gemoc2018 The accepted papers will be published by CEUR in the workshop proceedings. Also, participants will be strongly encouraged to participate in preparing the workshop report. --------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------- * Abstract submission deadline: July 10, 2018 * Paper submission deadline: July 17, 2018 * Notification of acceptance: August 17, 2018 * Workshop: October 15, 2018 --------------------------- Workshop Format --------------------------- The format of the workshop reflects the goals of the workshop: constructive feedback on submitted papers and other artifacts on the conjoint use of different modeling languages, collaborations, and community building. The format of the workshop is that of a working meeting. Hence, there is less focus on presentations and more focus on producing and documenting a research content that identifies challenges, different forms of language integration, and relates existing solutions. The workshop consists of a morning session in which a keynote and short presentations of the accepted papers will be given. A significant amount of time will be reserved for discussing each paper and their relations to each other. The afternoon session is devoted to a working session dedicated to open discussions of the presented contributions and other topics suggested by the participants. The closing session is dedicated to develop a plan to publish the results of the discussion in a final workshop report. --------------------------- Organizers --------------------------- * Erwan Bousse, TU Wien, Austria * Benoit Combemale, University of Toulouse, France * Jeff Gray, University of Alabama, USA Contact: gemoc2018(a)gemoc.org --------------------------- Program Committee --------------------------- * Frédéric Boulanger (CentraleSupélec) * Eugene Syriani (University of Montreal) * Julien Deantoni (UNS - I3S - INRIA Sophia Antipolis Mediterranee) * Jonathan Corley (University of West Georgia) * Mark Van Den Brand (Eindhoven University of Technology) * Bernhard Rumpe (RWTH Aachen University) * Richard Paige (University of York) * Tony Clark (Sheffield Hallam University) * Marsha Chechik (University of Toronto) * Andreas Wortmann RWTH (Aachen University) * Tanja Mayerhofer (TU Wien) * Marjan Mernik (University of Maribor) -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi
