www.healthsciencessc.org).
An earned doctorate in information technology or related discipline is
required. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of both
information technology and the healthcare environment and a demonstrated
potential for research and high scholarly impact at the intersection of
these two disciplines. Candidates should possess strong commitment to
teaching, interdisciplinary research, and cultural diversity. Special
consideration will be given to applicants with experience in online
teaching, grant writing/external funding and/or IT responsibilities in
health organizations.

> It has been proposed by many in our field that the discipline of
> Information Systems requires a shift in teaching and research.
> Historically, the field has been focused on the transformation of data
> into information and in this track, we take the view that this has,
> for the most part, already occurred.
>
> Further, we posit that the field is moving towards the transformation
> of information to knowledge and knowledge to wisdom, a necessary step
> for the survival of the field. For this track, we invite research
> proposals, education curricula, and papers that illustrate and/or
> demonstrate this shift, or even cases that argue against this stance.
>
> The field of Systems Science, as with most computing fields, is
> experiencing the effect of changing paradigms. In this time of big
> data, how can we get big knowledge or big breakthroughs to resolve
> problems our planet and societies face, now and in the future?
> Solutions to environmental, health, and energy problems require
> extensive knowledge bases that traditional MIS curricula and research
> appear to fail to address. In this track, we intend to stimulate
> dialogue amongst IS faculty and professionals to shift our discipline
> towards greater relevance. The issue of relevance has been discussed
> for many years, but now is the time to make pragmatic changes.
>
> HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the
> information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments
> in both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical,
> conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for
> presentation will be included in the Conference Proceedings published
> by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital
> Library.
>
> Examples of desired work may include at least the following:
> - Case study examples from industry and academia that illustrate
> workplace applications.
> - Academic cases that highlight or refute this shift in the curricula.
> - Frameworks that help companies transform practice from the past to
> the present for the future.
> - Technologies that help companies build knowledge systems from their
> information systems.
> - Commentaries on IS as a scientific discipline (what is "science"?
> What are outcomes of scientific endeavors?)
> - Papers of the value of IS as it stands as a functional area in an
> organization
> - Examples of evidence based research that demonstrates the
> application of theoretical concepts, and that support the premise of
> this track

> The issue is a 'must-read' for scholars and practitioners concerned to
> understand project implementation in forms of digital government. To
> explain this point let me quote from the editors of this edition:
> "Digital government projects and initiatives are complex endeavors.
> Technology by itself is a source of complexity, as its impacts, benefits
> and limitations are not always fully understood by project leaders or
> researchers. This is particularly the case when the implemented technology
> is not yet widely adopted. Moreover, digital government projects regularly
> involve the participation of a wide range of diverse stakeholders both in
> public and private organizations who need to reach agreement on project
> goals, objectives, and means. Further, project goals and activities are
> usually constrained by institutional arrangements such as laws and
> regulations, and several context-related factors such as specific economic
> situations, demographic conditions, or broader social technology adoption
> and access.
> Given this complexity, it is not uncommon that digital government projects
> are abandoned before completion or fail delivering the expected benefits.
> Some experts estimate an 85% failure rate for digital government projects.
> In 2009 alone, government spending in technology worldwide was about 428.38
> billion US dollars, thus failure rates for these kinds of projects are a
> major concern. In this way, understanding reasons for project success or
> failure is an important research and practical problem"
> The papers included here, both separately and collectively, will add to
> our understanding of what goes right and what goes wrong with these often
> complex and costly projects.
> I will be delighted to receive your responses to these papers and, should
> you wish to respond in the form of a paper, I will consider publication in
> an upcoming edition. This is such an important topic it deserves debate.
> I hope you will enjoy reading Information Polity.

> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Responding to rising concerns about environmental sustainability,
> governments around the world have committed to the promotion of more
> sustainable consumption patterns. Mainstream approaches to promoting
> sustainable consumption often involve government interventions: to correct
> prices, and to provide regulatory frameworks to influence producers to
> become more eco-efficient. Unfortunately, the success of these actions is
> frequently limited by information barriers. Consumers have limited
> information about the social and environmental impacts of products, and
> have long relied instead on price information as well as information
> available on the product package in making their buying decisions. This
> lack of information creates difficulties for consumers when assessing and
> understanding the implications of their choices. Similarly, lack of
> integrated information about environmental impacts in the sustainable
> supply chain could potentially disrupt the entire system. These disruptions
> could, in turn, create higher costs for actors in the supply chain.
>
> Despite the connection between sustainable consumption and sustainable
> supply chain management, current research shows little integration between
> these areas. Recent technological developments have the potential to
> uncover the "black box" of supply chain processes, helping consumers to
> make more sustainable buying choices. These innovations have the capacity
> to streamline the information flow from producer to consumer within supply
> chains. Ontologies, Linked Data, and Semantic Web technologies can handle
> the problems that arise when integrating massive amounts of multi-thematic
> and multi-perspective information from heterogeneous sources to answer
> complex questions that cut through supply chain domain boundaries. The

>
> We are delighted to offer an invitation for submissions to be made for

> Systems Workshop that will be held on 15 and 16 August. We invite
> presentations on the topic at this workshop, "Dealing with Complexity".
> ________________________________________
> Workshop theme: Dealing with complexity
>
> A function of the philosophical method of enquiry involves gaining
> comprehension of complex systems. The field of Information Systems has long
> sought to gain understanding (mainly through applied research) by building
> a body of knowledge about complex relationships in social organisms,
> technology, and autopoiesis. This workshop provides a forum for discussion
> of current issues related to the discovery, interpretation, and
> presentation of complexity in the Information Systems context. Of key
> interest to participants will be issues for managing complexity, strategies
> and approaches for designing research programmes, arguments for and against
> modelling and abstractions as representations of reality, and philosophical
> presentations on the topic of complexity versus simplicity and how they may
> be conceived.
>
> The workshop continues the series of increasingly popular events that have
> been run at both the AMCIS and ICIS conferences and will soon be run at
> other IS conferences too. The events are been aimed at promoting
> philosophical discussion of IS topics and issues. A principal aim has been
> to provide a forum for multiple voices to be heard on current subjects.
>
> As with previous and highly successful workshops, this shall take two
> parts in which there will be an opportunity for presentations with
> respondents and open discussion, and a session led by a keynote speaker.
> The SIG AGM shall also be incorporated into the even, at which SIG members
> will have the opportunity to vote on important changes required to be made.
>
> ___________________________________________
> How to submit a presentation:
> Submissions for the workshop are to be emailed direct to the workshop
> convenor at alan.litchfield at aut.ac.nz.
>
> Important dates:
> We would ask that submissions are made by 20 July.
> Acceptance of papers will be notified by 31 July.
> Conference presentations will be made on 15 August
