: CALL FOR PAPERS
:
: BOOK: BEYOND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT: SHARING EXPERTISE
:
: This book examines the relatively new area of expertise management,
: connecting people to one another within organizations as part of knowledge
: management. This area also considers communities of practice and knowledge
: communities, with their attempts to augment and
: increase a group's overall expertise.
:
: This area has great potential for turning Tayloristic very quickly, and we
: believe that it's important to get a book out that views this area from
: alternative and critical stances. A high quality book of this type would
: enable both researchers and practitioners to consider important perspectives
: when evaluating and constructing systems.
:
: We have had strong interest from MIT Press to publish this book.
:
: We are particularly interested in:
:
: - case studies of implemented techniques (system or otherwise)
:
: These studies can be long (20 book pages) or short (8-12 book pages). All
: submissions will be strictly reviewed both by co-editors as well as
: independent reviewers.
:
: Because of the importance of getting a book out quickly, we are on a short
: time fuse.
:
: As soon as possible - Please send email to Mark Ackerman
: (ackerman(a)ics.uci.edu) stating your intent.
:
: November 15 - 1-2 page summary of your paper. We need this to know what to
: expect, to help guide in intellectually adjacent papers, and show to the
: book publisher.
:
: January 10 - final paper
:
: February 14 - announcement of final acceptances
:
: March 20 - publishable papers due
:
: This book is an outgrowth of an E-CSCW (the European Cooperative Work
: conference) workshop on knowledge management. The co-organizers of that
: workshop - Mark Ackerman, Andrew Cohen, Vokmar Pipek, and Volker Wulf - are
: co-editors of the book.
:
: For more information, please email Mark Ackerman at ackerman(a)ics.uci.edu.

: PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT / CALL FOR PAPERS
: Journal: Knowledge and Process Management
: Title: The Business Process Phenomenon: Into the era of E-business
: Guest Editors: Ashley Braganza and Rob Lambert, Cranfield School of
: Management
:
: Introduction
: The forthcoming third special issue of Knowledge and Process Management will
: mark the beginning of the millennium by focusing upon the phenomena that
: will dominate the thoughts of academics and practitioners alike:
: E-business. This phenomenon is likely lead to the dematerialisation of
: businesses and possibly entire industries. E-business describes the
: organisation that emerges when the combination of knowledge management,
: cross functional process management, digital technology, telecommunications
: and computers are brought to bear on delivering benefits to stakeholders.
: Today, there is a race to understand and exploit e-commerce. However, the
: debate is often constrained to making better use of customer information and
: targeting customers directly. It is time to raise the level of the debate
: to understand the impact of E-business upon the organisation as a whole.
:
: It is with this in mind that we invite contributions from both academics and
: practitioners who wish to fashion and participate in the debate that we
: believe will be critical to the success of businesses in the future. The
: following themes indicate the topics that are central to and require
: exploration to further the emergence of E-businesses.
:
: Key topics:
: v Defining the terrain: what organisational characteristics comprise an
: E-business?
:
: v Role of IS/IT people and the IS/IT function?: can traditional approaches
: to developing IS strategies still be applied? If not, what emergent
: approaches exist?
:
: v Identifying and managing processes in an E-business - How do business
: processes in a traditional business differ its electronic counterpart?
:
: v Developing and sustaining organisational and individual competencies in an
: E-business - What should these be? How do organisations assess and develop
: appropriate competencies?
:
: v Identifying and managing knowledge in an E-business - As change become
: more frequent, the shelf life of knowledge becomes shorter, is it worth
: managing knowledge? Are there techniques for identifying future knowledge
: that is likely to be of value?
:
: v Social consequences of E-business - What are the effects upon industries
: and hence communities that are dependent upon particular industries? What
: are the effects on jobs e.g. home working, and the levels of social
: interactions between people?
:
: v The practicalities of creating an E-business - How is an E-business set
: up, funded, and run? What organisational performance indicators should be
: used to assess success? What recruitment strategies can be deployed?
:
: Timetable:
: 1. Abstracts 10 December 1999 (500-1000 words)
: 2. Draft Papers 21 January 2000 (5000 words excluding diagrams and
: references)
: 3. Final version of papers 28 February 2000 (see above)
: Please submit abstracts by electronic mail (Word 6.0 or later or text files)
: to Sheena Dunlop (s.dunlop(a)cranfield.ac.uk) together with the completed
: form attached below.

:
: TRACK DESCRIPTION:
:
: Once the domain of developed countries, software development has become
: a worldwide industry. Variations in culture, language, religion,
: politics, and economics affect interactions among developers, clients,
: and IS/IT managers. These variations affect not only the final software
: product, but make managing software development within and across these
: diverse global environments a formidable task. Managing software
: development becomes an even more challenging responsibility when one
: considers that "what works" in one locale may not work in another.
:
: Research addressing the above or related issues is welcomed in the
: Global Software Development track. Papers should address issues of
: software development, training, or maintenance rather than software use.
: Submissions reflecting other reference areas--including but not limited
: to anthropology, sociology, or social psychology--are also encouraged.
:
: RECOMMENDED TOPICS
:
: Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double-spaced pages),
: extended abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages),
: panel and workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but not limited
: to) the following topics are invited. Please note the name of this
: track on the cover page.
:
: * International Outsourcing
: * Off-shore development
: * Project management and team-building in multi-cultural environments
: * Cultural dimensions of group interactions
: * Software development in multi-lingual, multi-cultural environments
: * Contract Programming
: * Software training, maintenance, and customer support in global
: environments
: * Field studies
: * Theoretical frameworks
: * Research or development methodologies
: * Current issues in global software development

: International Workshop on
: "DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM VALIDATION and VERIFICATION"
: (DSVV'2000)
:
: http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~eric/icdcs2k-dsvv/
:
: Final Call For Papers
: (Proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press)
: (NOTE: page-limit changed to 8 pages)
:
: An International Workshop held in conjunction with
: the 20th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
: (ICDCS'2000)
:
: April 10-13, 2000, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC
:
: Distributed systems have parts located in more than one location and
: distributed applications need to work coherently within such a system
: to be feasible. Such systems and applications are difficult to validate
: and verify. The DSVV'2000 workshop will try to assimilate all related
: techniques, either formal or technical, which contribute towards proving
: systems valid. Formal methods include queuing theory, analytic methods,
: model-checking, process algebra, theorem proving, term rewriting, and
: other logic-related techniques. Technical methods include different
: simulation models, testing, emulation, virtual prototyping, rapid
: prototyping, and other ad-hoc techniques.
:
: In today's world of wireless and mobile networking, distributed system
: protocols form a major aspect of system design. Verifying such protocols
: is usually a formidable task. DSVV'2000 will try to uncover and integrate
: existing techniques and introduce new ones for distributed system protocol
: verification.
:
: When both hardware and software are present in distributed systems, system
: validation and verification become all the more complex and challenging.
: Hardware-software timing coverification of distributed embedded systems is
: also currently a hot topic, which DSVV'2000 will try to emphasize on.
:
: All topics related to distributed system validation and verification are
: invited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
:
: * Specification/Modeling Techniques * Formal Methods
: * Simulation Techniques * Industrial Techniques
: * Testing Techniques * Case Studies
: * Verification Techniques * IP / Virtual Components
: * Validation Tools * Embedded Systems
: * Verification Tools * Hardware-Software Coverification
:
: SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
: To submit a paper to the workshop, please do the following:
: (1) Prepare a manuscript in either PDF or PostScript format. Manuscripts
: should be in IEEE Computer Society Proceedings format: a maximum of 8 pages
: (A4 or letter), font size 10 pt or 11 pt, single-spaced, double-column,
: with the first page including paper title, author names, affiliations,
: e-mail addresses, a maximum 200-word abstract, and at least 5 keywords.
: (2) Prepare a cover letter (an ascii-text e-mail) with the paper title,
: the corresponding author's name, mailing address, e-mail address,
: and telephone/fax numbers, paper abstract, and keywords.
: (3) E-mail the above two to: eric(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw .
: If electronic submission is not possible, please mail the above to the
: postal address at the end.
: (4) IMPORTANT DATES:
: Submission Deadline: November 10, 1999 (Extended)
: Acceptance Notification: December 7, 1999
: Camera-Ready Papers: January 1, 2000
: (5) The workshop will span over one full day (most probably April 9, 2000)
: with paper presentations and group discussions. All submissions will
: be reviewed by at least 2 referees. Papers must not have been published
: previously. Only those accepted papers that are presented at the
: workshop will be published. Workshop proceedings will be published
: by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Both web publication and hard-cover
: copies will be made available internationally by the IEEE Computer Society.

: Scope
:
: The new millennium is characterized by speed and
: distribution in every aspect of most business and
: organization undertaking. Organizations are challenged
: to bring ideas and concepts to products and services in
: an ever-increasing pace. Companies distributed by space,
: time, and capabilities come together to deliver products
: and solutions for which there is any need in the global
: marketplace. The trends for virtual corporations and e-
: commerce, and increasing global networking of economies
: are real and will accelerate. Enterprise information
: systems using workflow technology will play an
: increasingly critical role in providing a competitive
: edge to organizations in the networked economy. The
: interorganizational nature of workflow processes in the
: DNE (Dynamic Networked Economy) poses all kinds of
: interesting issues, e.g., How to agree on a common
: business process without considering local
: particularities? The coordination between processes in
: different organizations is fundamentally different from
: the situation where the whole process and all of the
: participating resources are contained within one
: organization. Another critical challenge for workflow
: technology in the DNE is the ability to respond
: effectively to changes. Changes may range from ad-hoc
: modifications of the process for a single customer to a
: complete restructuring for the workflow process to
: improve efficiency. Today's WFM/ERP systems are ill-
: suited to deal with change; they typically support a
: more or less idealized version of the preferred process
: and the real run-time process is often much more
: variable than the process specified at design-time. The
: only way to handle changes is to go behind the system's
: back. If users are forced to bypass the workflow
: management system quite frequently, the system is more a
: liability than an asset. The biggest challenge we are
: facing is to develop concepts, techniques, and tools to
: support adaptability. Adaptability has become one of the
: major research topics in the area of workflow management
: and is characterized by notorious problems such as the
: 'dynamic change bug' (How to migrate workflow instances
: from the old to the new process if the degree of
: parallelism is reduced?).
:
: This special issue of the International Journal of
: Computer Systems Science & Engineering seeks to shed
: light on the state-of-the-art and the future of workflow
: technology in the dynamic networked economy.
:
: Topics of interest include:
: * Interorganizational workflows
: * Adaptive/ad-hoc workflows
: * Dynamic schema evolution and workflow migration
: * Workflow distribution and interoperability
: * Object-oriented concepts (e.g., inheritance) to
: support workflow flexibility and distribution
: * Process mining and AI-based techniques
: * Extensions of workflow modeling techniques (Petri
: nets, state-charts, speech acts, etc.)
: * Merging of groupware and workflow into workware
: * Case studies and prototypes
