Forwarded message from [Bjorn.E.Munkvold@HIA.NO (Bjorn Erik Munkvold)] sent originally on Wed, 7 Jun 2000 08:47:45 +0200: : CALL FOR PAPERS on a special issue of : "Developing E-Commerce Systems: Current Practices and State-of-the-Art" : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- : URL: http://cis.gsu.edu/~spurao/dbcfp/ : ----------------------------------------- : : DataBase : -------- : The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, or DATA BASE for : short, is putting together a special issue on the above topic. : Contributions are invited focused on the topic of e-Commerce : System Development. : : Focus of the Special Issue : -------------------------- : The purpose of this special issue is to provide a forum for presenting : descriptive and empirical research for understanding the complex, : often contextual approaches to developing innovative e-commerce : software solutions. : : Important Dates and Deadlines : ----------------------------- : Communication of Intention with Abstract: 31 July 2000 : Submission of Manuscripts: 30 October 2000 : Initial Round of Reviews: 30 January 2001 : Resubmission of Revised Manuscripts: 30 April 2001 : Additional Reviews, as necessary, and Notification: 30 June 2001 : Final Papers Due: 31 July 2001 : : Types of Contributions : ---------------------- : For this special issue, we encourage descriptive studies such as : experience reports, case studies, and studies conducted with an action : research perspective focusing on single or multi-project initiatives : for developing e-commerce solutions, that may be completed or in- : progress. Surveys of current approaches for design and development : of EC solutions are also encouraged. Besides providing a descriptive : account of state-of-the art practices, potential contributions are : also expected to compare and contrast these approaches with : traditional systems development practices or approaches. Findings : are expected to be discussed in relation to existing theories in : systems development and electronic commerce to contribute to further : development of these. : In particular, descriptive studies backed by links to existing : theories are welcome. In-depth case studies focusing on discovery : of underlying assumptions and theoretical underpinnings, as well : as other innovative research methods are also welcome. Surveys of : current practices to shed light on specific practices followed : will also be relevant. : : Topics of Interest : ------------------ : Papers dealing with topics such as the following, with linkages to : current theories or proposals for new theoretical perspectives, are : particularly encouraged. : -Experience reports from development and deployment of EC systems : -Experiences with development processes for EC systems : -Success stories or accounts of failed projects for EC systems : -Accounts of applications of strategies for requirements engineering of EC : projects : -Studies of the management of EC system development projects : -Studies of organizational practices to manage EC project portfolios : -Surveys of EC solutions development approaches : -Surveys of organizational practices to manage EC projects or EC : portfolios : -Reports of consulting practices for developing individual or families of : EC solutions : -Comparisons of traditional system development methods against EC : development approaches : : Research Methods : ---------------- : We prefer research submissions that are empirically based as opposed : to purely theoretical research. Papers from both the intensive (e.g., : qualitative) and quantitative research traditions will find a forum in : this issue. Papers pursuing either interpretive or positivist : understanding in an empirical context, will be assessed according : to criteria that are normally applied to such research in high-quality : IS journals. The manuscripts should contain the research questions and : research design with appropriate theoretical foundations, well- : motivated and clearly stated; identify research methods and where : necessary, explain these; and document the research results, clearly : stating implications related to the findings. : : Instructions for Submission : --------------------------- : Authors are encouraged to send an abstract with intention of submission : to Bjorn Erik Munkvold at Bjorn.E.Munkvold@hia.no or Sandeep Purao : at spurao@gsu.edu. Completed manuscripts should be submitted, via e-mail : as MS-Word attachment to Bjorn.E.Munkvold@hia.no. All submissions will : be reviewed through a double blind review process.
