*Supply Chain Innovation and Management Track*

Track Description:

Information technology (IT) has been recognized as an important enabler for
supply chain innovations. The legendary story of how Walmart and Proctor &
Gamble Company (P&G) use IT to enable continuous planning, forecasting, and
replenishment (CPFR), helping propel Walmart to retail dominance is well
understood. More recently, we have witnessed emerging ITs create new ways
to manage supply chain operations as well as to collaborate with supply
chain partners. Cloud technology, for example, enables companies to build a
?plug-and-play? connectivity of trading partners. Such cloud-based
community of trading partners can provide the foundation to drive business
intelligence in terms of visibility and event management, and thus
significantly transform supply chain performance (CIO Magazine, June 2013).
The Internet of Things (IoT) is another emerging IT that has great
potential for improving supply chain management. IoT-based solutions
enables data automatically collected from ubiquitous sensors, minimizing
the efforts to manage supply chains such as monitoring suppliers? and
customers? transactions, tracking the progress of shipment, and alerting
the demand and inventory levels. In addition, service-oriented architecture
(SOA), a business- driven IT architectural approach, is designed to speed
up new application development by providing repeatable component business
services. This approach gives supply chain managers new capabilities in
terms of flexibility and responsiveness. It also enhances electronic
integration and coordination of supply chain partners, improving visibility
throughout the entire supply chain.

Given the conference theme ?IT ubiquitous and collaborative innovation,? we
believe IT advances in cloud computing, ubiquitous computing, service
computing, to name a few, are the meta-forces for supply chain innovation.
Furthermore, the continuous IT growth shifts the dominant thinking of
supply chain management toward the concepts of service, value co-creation,
value networks, service propositions, market orientation, service
ecosystem, and learning. This track seeks high-quality research that
attempts to advance theory and application of IT in supply chain innovation
using any research approach (action research, experimental, grounded
theory, design science, case studies, survey research, theory development,
prototyping, methodology development, etc.). Below can be seen a list of
the examples, but not limit to, of possible topics:

-        Theories used in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        B2B business models and analysis

-        Multi-channel integration

-        Service-oriented supply chain management

-        Ubiquitous supply chain management

-        Big Data, social media, and mobile computing applications to B2B
and supply-chain innovation

-        The impact of new technologies such as RFID, the Internet of
things and 3-D printing to supply chains

-        IT-enabled supply chain agility, visibility, responsiveness

-        Demand-driven supply chain management

-        Cloud-based supply chain collaboration

-        Value co-creation in supply chain innovation

-        IT capability profile for supply chain innovation

-        Governance in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Success and failure of IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Best practices in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

-        Industries specific issues in computer, smart-phone, healthcare,
and eGrocery supply chains

-        Methodologies used in IT-enabled supply chain innovation

SCIUX at The University of West London is pleased to announce a vibrant and innovative short courses programme for practitioners and graduates with an interest in any aspect of user experience.  SCIUX courses are delivered by a recognised team of practitioners and researchers in various aspects of user experience professional practice.

Introduction to Information Architecture 26 February

https://www.uwl.ac.uk/course/introduction-information-architecture/34075

Aims of Short Course
Why is it easy to find information in some digital information environments, but difficult in others? Why do some websites make navigation easy, while others disorient us until we eventually get lost? A good information architecture can help ensure that digital information environments are easy to navigate, well-labelled and well-organised. It can also help ensure that they are usable and effective in meeting business objectives. 

Information architecture involves the development of schemes to support the organisation and labelling of digital assets. It also involves the structural design of digital information environments to support users in finding and navigating those assets. 

This 1-day course describes the purpose and value of IA across different platforms and environments (websites, mobile apps, Intranets, digital libraries) and outlines the important elements of an effective information architecture. It focuses on the development of practical skills in capturing IA requirements, designing IA solutions and in the user-centred evaluation of digital information environments.
On completion of this short course you will receive an Attendance certificate awarded by the University of West London.

*Call for papers*

Online social platforms e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Weibo, discussion
forums have developed into a virtual world where users and firms share
content related to their real lives, works, and various facets of the real
world. The explosion of social media usage has resulted in massive user
generated contents (UGCs), including  media contents, user information and
their interactions on social networks, geo-locations, and many other
metadata. These UGCs have created numerous new research opportunities and
challenges.

Social media analytics is concerned with developing and evaluating
informatics tools and frameworks to collect, monitor, analyze, summarize,
and visualize social media data to facilitate conversations and
interactions to extract useful patterns and intelligence (Zeng et al. 2010).
Social media analytics generally involve three stage processes: capture,
understand, and present (Fan and Gordon, 2014). Recently, more and more
research efforts have been dedicated to key issues therein, such as
analytics and learning techniques for understanding social media, social
media analytics tools and systems, knowledge mining from social media, as
well as social network modeling, etc.

This special issue seeks contributions reporting novel solutions, models,
theories, or systems regarding social media analytics. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:

   -

   Understanding social content and dynamics
   -

   Understanding firm usage of social media
   -

   Efficient learning algorithms for scalable social media analytics
   -

   Social network modeling using social media data
   -

   Machine learning and data mining for social media
   -

   User interests and behavior modeling in social media
   -

   Tagging, semantic annotation, object and event recognition on
   large-scale social media collections
   -

   Novel data processing to remove noise and extract useful signals
   -

   Effective search mechanism  in large-scale social media collections
   -

   Novel business applications and value discovery using social media
   analytics

IUI 2014 - Call for Student Support

Following the tradition of IUI in previous years, we will offer student participation support in the 2014 IUI conference. The support is provided by SIGART and the NSF to attend the IUI Conference. This support is in the form of a small stipend to cover registration fee and partially cover the costs of travel and living expenses while attending the conference. The students will be reimbursed for their expenses after the conference.

The objective of IUI's student support is to encourage students interested in subjects related to Intelligent User Interfaces to become active members of the IUI community. To apply, the student should be actively enrolled as a student in an academic institution. Priority will be given to students who are first authors of accepted papers and to participants in the doctoral consortium. Recipients of the stipend are also expected to help the conference organization as student volunteers. The level of support will be determined by the availability of funds and the number of eligible applications.

The application should include:

?       Full name.

?       Email address.

?       The school you are attending, your major, and the country in which the school resides.

?       If you present at the conference, please provide the title of the submission and its type (e.g., research paper, doctoral consortium, demo).

?       A short statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending IUI 2014.

?       The location you are flying from and the cost for your airfare, as determined by the availability of low-cost economy fares for travel to Haifa, Israel in February 2014. Please describe any other expenses you expect to accrue, but do not include registration and housing costs, as they are similar for all students.

?       A letter of recommendation from your advisor is desirable, but not necessary.

Please submit your application to the local organization chairs via e-mail (localarrangementschair2014 at iuiconf.org<mailto:localarrangementschair2014 at iuiconf.org>) by January 20th 2014. Your application will be reviewed by the IUI Student Committee. Notification will be given by January 30th, 2014.
