---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Reminder: CFP special issue in Advanced IT for DMSS for the JDS. Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 11:02:43 -0700 From: Manuel Mora mmorauaamx@visto.com To: ISWORLD@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
CALL FOR PAPERS: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Special issue on "Advanced Information Technology for Decision Making Support Systems (DMSS)" for the Journal of Decision Systems.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Publication date: late 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THEME JUSTIFICATION:
State of the art Decision Making Support Systems (DMSS) requires a variety of advanced information systems and information technology to enhance the design, development, utilization, and evaluation processes. These advanced IT's include, among many others: machine learning, fuzzy logic, virtual reality, genetic algorithms, case-based reasoning, intelligent agents, logic programming, data mining, neural networks, knowledge-based simulation and human computer interfaces.We are developing a Special Issue of the Journal of Decision Systems with articles devoted to the following main research questions:
(a) how can advanced IT enhance DMSS ?; (b) how can advanced IT affect the process of DMSS design, implementation and evaluation?; and (c) how can advanced IT be integrated in DMSS to modify organizational structures and management practice? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ISSUE MISSION AND AIMS:
This Special Issue's mission is to present state of the art on applied DMSS integrating new IT. The main aims of this special issue are:
(1) to generate a compendium of quality applied papers on advanced IT in DMSS, (2) to help diffuse scarce knowledge about effective methods and strategies for successfully designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating DMSS that integrate advanced IT, and (3) to create an awareness among academicians and practitioners about the relevance of decision-making support systems in the current complex and dynamic management environment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS SOUGTH:
Papers are solicited that contribute in these aims. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
(1) Cases of DMSS that integrate advanced IT in business, commerce (including ecommerce), government, and elsewhere, (2) Strategies that promote the design, development, and implementation of successful DMSS that integrate advanced IT, (3) Methodologies for integrating advanced IT in data, knowledge, model, dialog, and feedback management , (4) Studies that compare the effectiveness of advanced IT in DMSS versus other traditional IT, and (5) Studies related with the effects of DMSS that integrate advanced IT, on organizational structure and management practice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS:
The suggested length for each manuscript will 20-25 double-spaced typed pages, including graphs, tables, figures, and references. Original papers should be written to conform with the Journal of Decision Systems style guidelines document, which is available upon request. Papers will be evaluated using a double blind peer-review process. Please send all submissions electronically to: forgionn@umbc.edu with copy to editors.dmss.jds@visto.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES:
November 15, 2001 :Deadline for 4-page abstract submission. January 31, 2002 : Deadline for full paper submission. March 31, 2002 : Review process due. April 15, 2002 : Notification of acceptance/rejection. June 30, 2002 : Camera-ready version due. Publication date : Late 2002.
