> WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
>
> The social business is based on technology trends (powerful mobile
> devices, broadband Internet, and low-cost data storage), work (culture,
> globalization) and society (propensity for sharing). This new way of doing
> business will enable a paradigm shift, "comes out of the hierarchy and
> works on the net", which will surely be the "essence of the fast
> enterprises and the next generation."
>
> Nowadays, according to the McKinsey Global Institute, in its report "The
> social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social
> technologies", there are over 1.5 billion users of social networks, 80% is
> the proportion of total users that interact with social networks regularly,
> 70% is the proportion of companies using social technologies, and it is
> used about 28 hours a week to write emails, search for information and
> perform internal collaboration.
>
> Strategies of platform and application integration need to be established
> and social technology tools need to be integrated, while a common culture
> of collaborative communication has to be maintained. Questions of user
> adoption, communication facilitation and measurable business value are
> arising. Benefits of information sharing, interactive knowledge exchange
> and usability extension seem to be apparent, whereas concerns of technical
> operationalization, security control and practicability of social
> technology features are still persistent. This workshop encourages studies
> on technical, social and theoretical issues in ICT trends for enterprises
> that will interest both practitioners and researchers.

> Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD):

>
> Big Data research is expected to be the hottest topic for the next five
> years. We shall have solid plans and regular meetings to ensure that our
> journal attracts the best papers from reputable researchers to support our
> mission continuously. Our objectives are as follows:
>
> Disseminate the emerging techniques, technologies and services associated
> with Big Data.
> Offer empirical evidence and approaches to demonstrate contributions made
> by Big Data.
> Offer recommendations to research and enterprise communities that use Big
> Data as a solution for their work.
> Offer guidelines and strategic directions in the way that Big Data
> research should progress.
> We will seek recommendations and practices that can be successfully
> delivered to other disciplines such as healthcare, finance, education and
> science, providing us quality papers centered on Big Data and whose lessons
> learned will be transferable across disciplines to encourage
> inter-disciplinary research and funding activities essential for
> progressive research and development. We will cover extensive studies to
> ensure that the research and enterprise communities can take our
> recommendations, guidelines and best practices, which will make real
> positive impacts to their services and projects. We will ensure that key
> lessons taken from our journal can be very useful to communities. By
> blending workshops and calls for papers in our journal, we will ensure that
> our articles are of the highest caliber and can demonstrate added values
> and benefits to the people adopting our recommendations. We will ensure all
> submitters understand and use our recommendations, so that their citations
> and adoptions of our key lessons will keep our quality high.
>
> Our journal has an advantage over the competing journals in Big Data as
> follows. First, steps involved in Big Data development should be
> reproducible to allow organizations to follow. Some articles in competing
> journals are very theoretical, making reproduction difficult. Second, all
> demonstrated deliveries in our journal should be easy to use, and provide
> real added value to technology-adopting organizations beyond just technical
> implementations. Unlike some articles in competing journals, whose
> deliveries are hard to understand and don?t consider technical or
> organizational adoption. We also encourage industrial partners to provide
> their latest developments, success stories (empirical) and best practices
> (quantitative and qualitative) to ensure our journal articles have the edge
> over others.
>
> The Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD) welcomes high-quality and scholarly
> papers, which include new methodologies, processes, case studies,
> proofs-of-concept, scientific demonstrations, industrial applications and
> adoption. The journal covers a wide range of topics including Big Data
> science, frameworks, analytics, visualizations, recommendations and
> data-intensive research. The OJBD presents the current challenges faced by
> Big Data adoption and implementation, and recommends ways, techniques,
> services and technologies that can resolve existing challenges and improve
> on the current practices. We focus on how Big Data can make huge positive
> impacts to different disciplines in addition to IT, which include
> healthcare, finance, education, physical science, biological science, earth
> science, business & management, information systems, social sciences and
> law. There are eight major topics as follows:
>
> - Techniques, algorithms and innovative methods of processing Big Data (or
> Big datasets) that achieve performance, accuracy and low-costs.
> - Design, implementation, evaluation and services related to Big Data,
> including the development process, use cases, experiments and associated
> simulations.
> - Systems and applications developed by Big Data and descriptions of how
> Big Data can be used in disciplines such as bioinformatics, finance,
> education, natural science, weather science, life science, physics,
> astronomy, law and social science.
> - Security, privacy, trust, data ownership, legal challenges, business
> models, information systems, social implications, social network analyses
> and social science related to Big Data.
> - Consolidation of existing technologies (databases, web, mobile, HPC) and
> how to integrate them in Big Data such as SOA Big Data, data mining,
> machine learning, HPC Big Data and cloud storage.
> - Recommendations, emerging technologies and techniques associated with
> Big Data such as mobile Big Data, standards, multi-clouds and internet of
> things.
> - Data analysis, analytics and visualization, including GPU techniques,
> new algorithms and methods showing how to achieve significant improvements
> from existing methods.

> Big Data research is expected to be the hottest topic for the next five
> years. We shall have solid plans and regular meetings to ensure that our
> journal attracts the best papers from reputable researchers to support our
> mission continuously. Our objectives are as follows:
>
> Disseminate the emerging techniques, technologies and services associated
> with Big Data.
> Offer empirical evidence and approaches to demonstrate contributions made
> by Big Data.
> Offer recommendations to research and enterprise communities that use Big
> Data as a solution for their work.
> Offer guidelines and strategic directions in the way that Big Data
> research should progress.
> We will seek recommendations and practices that can be successfully
> delivered to other disciplines such as healthcare, finance, education and
> science, providing us quality papers centered on Big Data and whose lessons
> learned will be transferable across disciplines to encourage
> inter-disciplinary research and funding activities essential for
> progressive research and development. We will cover extensive studies to
> ensure that the research and enterprise communities can take our
> recommendations, guidelines and best practices, which will make real
> positive impacts to their services and projects. We will ensure that key
> lessons taken from our journal can be very useful to communities. By
> blending workshops and calls for papers in our journal, we will ensure that
> our articles are of the highest caliber and can demonstrate added values
> and benefits to the people adopting our recommendations. We will ensure all
> submitters understand and use our recommendations, so that their citations
> and adoptions of our key lessons will keep our quality high.
>
> Our journal has an advantage over the competing journals in Big Data as
> follows. First, steps involved in Big Data development should be
> reproducible to allow organizations to follow. Some articles in competing
> journals are very theoretical, making reproduction difficult. Second, all
> demonstrated deliveries in our journal should be easy to use, and provide
> real added value to technology-adopting organizations beyond just technical
> implementations. Unlike some articles in competing journals, whose
> deliveries are hard to understand and don?t consider technical or
> organizational adoption. We also encourage industrial partners to provide
> their latest developments, success stories (empirical) and best practices
> (quantitative and qualitative) to ensure our journal articles have the edge
> over others.
>
> The Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD) welcomes high-quality and scholarly
> papers, which include new methodologies, processes, case studies,
> proofs-of-concept, scientific demonstrations, industrial applications and
> adoption. The journal covers a wide range of topics including Big Data
> science, frameworks, analytics, visualizations, recommendations and
> data-intensive research. The OJBD presents the current challenges faced by
> Big Data adoption and implementation, and recommends ways, techniques,
> services and technologies that can resolve existing challenges and improve
> on the current practices. We focus on how Big Data can make huge positive
> impacts to different disciplines in addition to IT, which include
> healthcare, finance, education, physical science, biological science, earth
> science, business & management, information systems, social sciences and
> law. There are eight major topics as follows:
>
> - Techniques, algorithms and innovative methods of processing Big Data (or
> Big datasets) that achieve performance, accuracy and low-costs.
> - Design, implementation, evaluation and services related to Big Data,
> including the development process, use cases, experiments and associated
> simulations.
> - Systems and applications developed by Big Data and descriptions of how
> Big Data can be used in disciplines such as bioinformatics, finance,
> education, natural science, weather science, life science, physics,
> astronomy, law and social science.
> - Security, privacy, trust, data ownership, legal challenges, business
> models, information systems, social implications, social network analyses
> and social science related to Big Data.
> - Consolidation of existing technologies (databases, web, mobile, HPC) and
> how to integrate them in Big Data such as SOA Big Data, data mining,
> machine learning, HPC Big Data and cloud storage.
> - Recommendations, emerging technologies and techniques associated with
> Big Data such as mobile Big Data, standards, multi-clouds and internet of
> things.
> - Data analysis, analytics and visualization, including GPU techniques,
> new algorithms and methods showing how to achieve significant improvements
> from existing methods.
> - Surveys, case studies, frameworks and user evaluations involved with
> qualitative, quantitative and/or computational research methods.

>
> The adoption of DSR as a research approach whenever artefacts are
> developed within IS has seen substantial growth in recent years. This
> trend was also found in post-graduate studies where students are
> involved in the development of an artefact and then adopt DSR in their
> studies. Several authors such as Vijay Vaishnavi, Bill Keuchler, Al
> Hevner and Shirley Gregor published on the topic of Design Science
> research. However, using DSR in postgraduate studies is a relatively new
> way of conducting research and the presentation of a DSR study within
> dissertations and theses poses unique challenges and opportunities.
>
> This track explores the techniques, opportunities, challenges and best
> practices adopted for both students and supervisors when adopting and
> using DSR within post-graduate studies. We invite submissions for the
> use of DSR in Post-graduate studies and supervision in IS mini-track
> that discusses relevant topics including, but not limited to, the
> following:
> ? Design Science Research as a research approach in
> post-graduate studies;
> ? Writing up a DSR study in a thesis or dissertation;
> ? Mixed-method research and DSR as research approach;
> ? Case Studies and best practices for post-graduate DSR

> The emergence of the cloud computing paradigm shifts the way information

> provides scalable access, elastic and shared computing capabilities anytime
> and anywhere, and thereby requires minimum management and interaction with
> service providers. It promises efficiency gains and potential cost savings,
> which makes cloud solutions attractive to the public sector. However, due
> to different, often more restrictive security requirements, the
> implementation of cloud solutions in the public sector is different from
> the private sector. To enable public sector organizations to leverage the

> Architecture for an Adaptive and Intelligent Tutoring System that
> Considers the Learner's Multiple Intelligences (pages 1-21)
> Mohamed Hafidi, Taher Bensebaa
> The majority of adaptive and intelligent tutoring systems (AITS) are
> dedicated to a specific domain, allowing them to offer accurate
> models of the domain and the learner. The analysis produced from traces
> left by the users is didactically very precise and specific
> to the domain in question. It allows one to guide the learner in case of
> difficulty and to offer her/him some support. This paper's
> objective was to develop an (AITS), adapted for letting the learners work
> in several disciplinary fields of the University of the
> Annaba. In this context, its constraint is threefold: to represent
> knowledge relative to several disciplinary domains, to propose
> interactive activities to the learners based on multiple intelligences,
> and finally, to be able to support student guidance in
> her/his course by proposing her/him relevant support activities when
> she/he meets difficulties. The proposed system covers all
> important properties such as hypertext component, adaptive sequencing,
> problem-solving support, intelligent solution analysis and
> adaptive presentation while available systems have only some of them.

> A Review of Personalised E-Learning: Towards Supporting Learner Diversity
> (pages 22-47)
> Eileen O'Donnell, Seamus Lawless, Mary Sharp, Vincent P. Wade
> The realisation of personalised e-learning to suit an individual learner's
> diverse learning needs is a concept which has been
> explored for decades, at great expense, but is still not achievable by
> non-technical authors. This research reviews the area of
> personalised e-learning and notes some of the technological challenges
> which developers may encounter in creating authoring tools
> for personalised e-learning and some of the pedagogical challenges which
> authors may encounter when creating personalised e-learning
> activities to enhance the learning experience of their students. At
> present educators who wish to create personalised e-learning
> activities require the assistance of technical experts who are
> knowledgeable in the area. Even with the help of an expert the
> creation of personalised e-learning activities still remains a complex
> process to authors who are new to the concept of tailoring
> e-learning to suit learner diversity. Before the successful utilisation of
> adaptive authoring tools can be realised, academic
> authors need to learn how to effectively use these tools. All learners
> come to education with a diverse set of characteristics;
> educators need to decide which learner characteristic(s) they wish to
> focus on addressing through the use of personalised e-learning
> activities. Further investigation, evaluation and analyses of authoring
> tools is required before personalised e-learning to support
> learner diversity can be achieved by many academics. Research members of
> the AMAS (2013) project team are currently involved in
> developing an authoring tool for adaptive activities for e-learning.

> Investigating Faculty Members' Beliefs about Distance Education: The Case
> of Sultan Qaboos University, Oman (pages 48-69)
> Naifa Eid Saleem, Mohammed Nasser Al-Suqri
> This research paper aims to investigate the beliefs (perceptions) about
> distance education(DE) held by the faculty members of Sultan
> Qaboos Uuniversity (SQU) at the Sultanate of Oman as well as the
> differences between their beliefs (perceptions) with regards to
> gender, teaching experience, college academic rank, nationality, etc. This
> study used a questionnaire as a method of data
> collection. Findings of the study indicated statistically significant
> difference in terms of gender. Results show that female
> faculty members hold positive beliefs (perceptions) about the use of DE in
> learning and teaching whereas compared to their male
> colleagues. With regards to nationality, the study found statistically
> slight differences, wherein the Omani faculty members yielded
> higher scores on the positive statements and lower at the negative
> statements.

> Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Distance Education Students' Learning Styles
> and Critical Thinking Dispositions in Turkey (pages
> 70-86)
> Ismail Yuksel, Ercument Turkses
> This study aims to examine distance education students' learning styles
> and critical thinking dispositions. This cross sectional
> survey was conducted on 114 Turkish distance education students from
> various departments in a state university. The data of the
> study were collected through Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scale
> (GRSLSS) and California Critical Thinking Disposition
> Inventory (CCTDI). Cronbach Alpha coefficiencies of the scales were .76
> for GRSLSS and .79 for CCTDI. To analyze the data,
> descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means and standard
> deviations), t-test and one-way analysis of variance tests were
> used. The results indicated that the dependent learning style was the most
> preferred style and the avoidant learning style was the
> least preferred style. The further analysis regarding learning style
> indicated that female students perceived themselves more
> dependent than male students. The results also indicated that students in
> teacher training programs scored higher in independent and
> avoidant sub-scales, while students in arts and sciences programs scored
> higher in dependent, collaborative, competitive and
> participant sub-scales. The results manifested that students' critical
> thinking dispositions were at a low level, and they mostly
> had analyticity and open-mindedness dispositions. Female students were
> found to have more critical thinking dispositions than male
> students.

> Effects of the Digital Game-Development Approach on Elementary School
> Students' Learning Motivation, Problem Solving, and Learning
> Achievement (pages 87-102)
> Hui-Chun Chu, Chun-Ming Hung
> In this study, the game-based development approach is proposed for
> improving the learning motivation, problem solving skills, and
> learning achievement of students. An experiment was conducted on a
> learning activity of an elementary school science course to
> evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. A total of 59 sixth
> graders from two classes of the elementary school
> participated in the experiment. One class of 30 students was selected as
> the experimental group, and the other class of 29 students
> was the control group. From the experimental results, it was found that
> the proposed game development-based learning approach could
> effectively promote the students' problem-solving skills. However, the
> students' learning achievement and motivations were quite
> different from our expectations. A discussion of the experimental group
> interview data is provided and suggestions made.

> The MORPG-based Learning System for Multiple Courses: A Case Study on
> Computer Science Curriculum (pages 103-123)
> Kuo-Yu Liu
> This study aimed at developing a Multiplayer Online Role Playing
> Game-based (MORPG) Learning system which enabled instructors to
> construct a game scenario and manage sharable and reusable learning
> content for multiple courses. It used the curriculum of
> ?Introduction to Computer Science? as a study case to assess students'
> learning effectiveness on the subject of ?computer
> network?. The sample was 56 freshman students, who were randomly assigned
> to two groups, one of which used the game-based learning
> and the other one the Web-based video lectures. Furthermore, this study
> also conducted the System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure
> satisfaction, usability and learnability of the developed management
> system for instructors. Five instructors were invited to
> participate in the practical use and evaluation. The results showed that
> game-based learning could be exploited as effective
> learning environments and game design system was usable and learnable for
> instructors to create learning games.
