Call for Papers


Service Engineering and Service Management (ECIS 2013 Track)


Sponsored by AIS SIG Services


Track Chairs

Tilo B?hmann, University of Hamburg, Germany, tilo.boehmann at uni-hamburg.de<mailto:tilo.boehmann at uni-hamburg.de>

Description

An increasing number of activities of public and private organizations are engineered and managed as services, often creating a new potential for economic growth and welfare through innovation and productivity gains. This development is mirrored in the domain of information systems. This becomes evident in developments to use service as the organizing logic for providing IS, in the use of service as an architectural paradigm (SOA), and in the development of internet-based service infrastructure for processes, applications, and infrastructure. Moreover, the increasing amalgamation of IS-enabled corporate and consumer services create substantial opportunities to create novel IS-enabled business services.

The information systems discipline thus needs to advance research on phenomena related to IS as a service and IS-based services.   Researchers and practioners alike suffer from a lack of theory-rooted knowledge for developing, engineering and managing such services as well as leveraging IS for business service innovation. At the same time, the success of services challenge established concepts of the IS discipline, such as the clear separation between corporate IS and consumer IS or internal IS and external services. Service-focused research in IS thus need to create and refine concepts, models, methods, and systems to reflect these developments.

Service research and service science span several disciplines, such as marketing, operations management, innovation management, engineering, computer science, and IS. Research on service engineering and management thus learns from and contributes to a wider research discourse. Moreover, the move into services is a global phenomenon and increasingly a global marketplace that calls for relevant and rigorous research that reaches across geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

The track welcomes empirical, theoretical and design work on IT-enabled services as full research papers and research in progress papers. Methodologically and epistemologically, the track is open to all approaches and perspectives.
Topics of interest

The track seeks to attract research from a diversity of research paradigms in three areas:

1) Rethinking IS as service:
- IT service management and service capability management
- Service governance, risk, and compliance
- Service architecture and modularity
- Service lifecycle management
- Service portfolio management
- Service requirements management
- User-generated services

2) Leveraging IS for value creation with service:
- IS and service business model innovation
- Data-driven services
- (Consumer) information services
- Mobile services

3) Theorizing service beyond IS:
- Contributions to interdisciplinary service science research from an IS vantage point
- Service systems
- Reference models / meta models of service(s) / Service ontologies
- IS and value co-creation/resource integration

Here follows the description of the call in the subject, for the
special issue of the IJDLDC on "New literacy and competences for Smart
City learning".

INTRODUCTION
------------

Although the smart city vision has been elaborated to include within
the city's capital also the intellectual and social ones, most of the
smart city's models aim exclusively to optimize the consumption of
resources and to thin the flows (things, people, data).
Very often the present smart cities' models forget that cities are
populated by people who act because driven by motivations and
expectations, desires, needs; individuals who have their own styles
and do not believe that quality of life can be reduced only to
optimization of consumption and flows, although it is an important
issue for the survival of the eco-system. People that also citizens
that over the centuries, with their creative and productive actions,
have contributed to the stratification of the cultural DNA that today
marks the difference between European cities and those that are
quickly developing in the New Worlds.
It follows, then, that public and private stakeholders have to put
citizens at the heart of any Smart City project, counterbalancing
technocratic visions of cold and inhumane cities, and that
technologies will be able to really transform cities in smart ones
only when these latter will be populated by "smart citizens", i.e.
individuals who will feel smart not only because they have learned
techniques needed to optimize resources' consumption and safeguard the
city's capital - that is the environment in which they live and
co-evolve to produce further cultural stratifications - but, rather,
because, they experience high standard living from all points of view
(i.e. all experiencial dimensions and personal styles).
For that reason, if the smart cities are to be constructed around
people that are also citizens, the ?cityzentric? condition for the
inhabitants of the intelligent cities is achieved by playing a
qualified role in the network of connected individuals, that is
characterized by the civic engagement, the territorial commitment and
the will of sharing knowledge of creativity.
Connectivity should not be considered only as a urban commodity but,
rather, an incredible gift in the hands of individuals and groups that
is strengthening their power as agents of change and making them fully
aware of the city challenges and vehicles for spreading knowledge and
innovation. The ?cityzentric? role for active individuals is
challenging and gets richer as the citizen itself act, learn and share
with others.
Who assumes the responsibility for the education of ?smart citizens?

Unfortunately, in the current smart city's models education is not
seen as an enabling factor that can affect all aspects of the quality
of life, but rather as an infrastructure delivering services:
benchmarks, in fact, includes only density of schools, services that
can be provided through the "wide-band", number of students per
inhabitant, the ability to produce the "skills" needed to sustain the
functioning of the system ... and so on.
Within a more human-centered vision - and, therefore, the
consideration of more human centered city's experiences - horizontal
to all themes relevant to a smart city, education should be considered
as a pillar of future city smartness and thus it urges to reflect on:

? how the way of learning has changed, is changing and will change
because of the smart city, and in particular what are the literacy and
competences people need to learn and to live in a smart city
environment;
? what places, or more generally environments, have to be designed and
developed to answer the education request by citizens in smart cities;
? which transformation will undergone the learning places and, thus,
which skills, abilities and competences the educators must have to
support the education of future smart citizens;
? which ?digital? competencies and skills will characterize the status
of ?smart citizens? and how to support their continuous acquisition,
the integration of those learned in other formal, informal and
non-formal contexts within specific urban areas and local situations ;
? how should change skills and competences of those who have to manage
smart cities and smart citizens;
? How to integrate skills? sets and strengthen the cultural profiles
of individuals through active partnerships among institutions;
? and last but not least, how all this may depend on the
characteristics of the environment and how much room there will be for
personalization.

To these and related themes is devoted the special issue of IJDLDC
that will be published on April 2013.

The special issue of IJDLDC follows the first workshop on "Smart City
Learning" held in September 2012 in Sinaia (Romania) and represents a
parallel, complementary and more focused reflection on literacy and
competences, with respect to that proposed by the workshop "Horizon
2020: smart city learning" which will be held January 28 to 30, 2013
in Villard-de-Lans, Vercors.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"

The Department of Computing Science at Aalborg University is pleased to
announce a PhD course in Information Systems Development as Engaged
Research.

The course will focus on some different research modes available for
conducting engaged systems development as research.  ?Engaged?, in this
context, signals that the software development effort is conducted
together
with outside partners - often a development company, a group of users, or
a target organisation.  There are three prevalent traditions in
Scandinavia; Participative (user-centered) Design, Action Research and
Design Research and we introduce the particular
form which is developed at Aalborg University:  Socio-Interactive Design.
?       Engaged Scholarship
?       Participative Design
?       Action Research
?       Design Science
?       Socio-interactive design
We also cover data collection and documentation, data analysis tools and
techniques and identifying and presenting contributions, which have many
features in common.

The course is targeted at students who plan to be involved with some
programming or system development work with external partners as part of
their PhD studies, or who have already done this.

Lecturers: Professor Rikard Lindgren, IT University of Gothenburg,
Associate Professor Jeremy Rose, University of Aalborg

ECTS: 21?2

Time: November 12-14, 2012

Place: room 0.1.12, Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University,
Selma Lagerl?fs Vej 300, 9220 Aalborg, Denmark

Deadline: (for registration) October 19, 2012

The course website is under
construction:http://people.cs.aau.dk/~jeremy/PhD/ISDasER/home.html

There are no tuition fees but students are expected to pay for their own
transport and accommodation.  There
is however a late cancellation fee of DK5000.

Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR)

Special Issue On: Social Commerce: Development and Management
Submission Due Date: 12/31/2012

Introduction
Since late 2008, social commerce has emerged as a new model of e-commerce and has provided a new way of accessing customers for merchants. The rapid growth of social commerce is in part driven by Web 2.0, which shifted the business environment from business-oriented to user-oriented. There are many innovative ways to develop social commerce.  For example, social commerce intermediaries such as Groupon and LivingSocial not only provide information reach and richness to customers, but also make use of social networking sites (e.g., Facebook and Twitter) and various merchant reputation sites (e.g., Yelp and TripAdvisor). Because social commerce is such a recent development, there is still a paucity of studies on the social, behavioral, economic, and managerial aspects of social commerce. This makes it very challenging for business organizations to make informed decisions in regard to social commerce adoption/implementation.

Objective
This special issue seeks to foster a scientific understanding of social commerce, provide a timely publication of current research efforts, and forecast future trends in the social commerce area. This special issue is concerned not only with individual customers and customer groups, but also with the social, organizational, and technological aspects of social commerce.

Recommended Topics
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
? Conceptual frameworks for understanding social commerce
? Design of social commerce networks
? Economic, social, and cultural issues of social commerce
? Factors influencing adoption of social commerce
? Merchant reputation systems and social commerce
? Pricing strategies for social commerce intermediaries
? Security and privacy in social commerce
? Social commerce and advertising
? Social commerce and network externalities
? Social commerce business models
? Social commerce for governments
? Social commerce for large enterprises
? Social commerce for small and medium-sized enterprises
? Social commerce in franchising
? Social commerce intermediaries and value networks
? Social commerce management
? Social mobile services
? Social software for social commerce
? Strategies for social commerce development
? Theories in social commerce
? Trends in social commerce
? Trust, loyalty, and adoption in social commerce
? User generated content


Submission Procedure

Call for Papers - ACM SIGMIS Conference 2013 - Deadline Extended **DUE
NOVEMBER 1, 2012**


Dear Colleagues,



We invite you to submit your manuscripts to ACM SIGMIS Computers & People
Research Conference which will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. We welcome
research and practice submissions that address issues related to the
conference theme of economic renewal and sustainability as it relates to
information technology work. We also welcome submissions about the IT
workforce and human impact topics. (See
http://www.sigmis.org/SIGCPR2013/cpr.html for more details.)


One new feature of the conference that began with SIGMIS CPR 2012 is the
addition of pre-conference professional development panels on Thursday
afternoon, May 30 immediately preceding the opening reception. One panel
will feature editors of IS journals, the other will feature representatives
from industry. Both will discuss topics of research importance in the IS
field, but each from their respective viewpoints.


CONFERENCE THEME


As societies everywhere work to recover from a global economic recession,
cities and regions that are particularly challenged are those whose
economies have historically depended on 19th and 20th century models of
work. Now the economic sustainability of these societies requires that they
reinvent themselves for a 21st century economy that increasingly depends
upon innovation and creative uses of information technology. Of concern to
the SIGMIS CPR community are the implications for IT workforce career paths
in this new economy, the skills and knowledge that will be needed, and
human resource strategies in these economically difficult times.
