<br>
As the new nexus of teens' online experience, social networking sites<br>
such as MySpace.com and Facebook.com are the focus of widespread<br>
parents' and lawmakers' worries about teens' online safety. In extreme<br>
circumstances, teens' involvement with social networking sites may place<br>
them in danger and seriously jeopardize their life. For instance, Megan<br>
Meier, a 13-year-old girl, committed suicide after being targeted in a<br>
MySpace hoax.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The general objective of this workshop is to address the acute<br>
challenges of protecting adolescent online safety. While there has been<br>
considerable rigor undertaken with regards to the development of the<br>
various technical approaches toward protecting children's online safety,<br>
the social or human nuances and consequences of these approaches have<br>
received relatively minor attention. In this workshop, participants will<br>
discuss issues and challenges associated with the adolescents' online<br>
behaviors, parental mediations, educational interventions, and<br>
technological design implications. Participants will be encouraged to<br>
submit papers for a special issue<br>
<<a href="http://pal.ist.psu.edu/iconf2011paos/icst_cfp.pdf" target="_blank">http://pal.ist.psu.edu/iconf2011paos/icst_cfp.pdf</a>> of the ICST<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Themes<br>
<br>
In the workshop, we will have presentations by workshop participants to<br>
develop a shared understanding of the problems we try to address, have<br>
an overview of research approaches used to address these problems, and<br>
identify crucial issues to explore. Suggested discussion topics include,<br>
but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Defining online privacy, risk, security, and safety for the<br>
adolescent cohort<br>
<br>
* Online safety challenges and protection mechanisms for the<br>
adolescent cohort<br>
<br>
* User mental models and behavioral dynamics (for adolescents and<br>
parents)<br>
<br>
* Tools or applications that support online safety for the<br>
adolescent cohort<br>
<br>
* User awareness and training (for adolescents and parents)<br>
<br>
* Parental mediations<br>
<br>

Information technology project management research has evolved from<br>
engineering disciplines. Certain aspects of managing information<br>
technology projects present challenges that are different from other<br>
types of projects undertaken by an organization. Furthermore, given<br>
the large expense taken by organizations to implement both hardware<br>
and software within the firm, organizations want better techniques and<br>
knowledge about how to manage these projects. This special issue<br>
solicits research in IT project management that focuses on problems<br>
that cover a large range of topics that cut across many IT areas.<br>
<br>
Themes that could be explored, but are not restricted to, include:<br>
? virtual project management<br>
? agile project management<br>
? knowledge networks<br>
? project management methodologies<br>
? distributed project management<br>

Track: Enterprise Systems & Organizational Issues in IS<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mini Track: IS for the Non-Profit Sector<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Description<br>
<br>
The non-profit sector represents a substantial part of the US economy (5% of<br>
the GDP). While the penetration of information systems and information<br>
technologies (IS/IT) among non-profit organizations has been increasing,<br>
studies have consistently shown that non-profits lag behind their<br>
counterparts in the private and public sectors with respect to IS/IT<br>
adoption and strategic use. This phenomenon has been coined the<br>
organizational digital divide - the inequalities between organizations in<br>
society that can strategically use IS/IT to advance their mission and those<br>
that cannot.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The non-profit sector in the United States consists of over 1.5 million<br>
organizations. In response to the economic recession, these non-profits are<br>
increasingly being called upon to provide essential programs and services<br>
that the public and private sectors cannot or will not provide. However,<br>
the current operating environment of the non-profit sector has become<br>
increasingly more complex and challenging. While some non-profit<br>
organizations have benefited from new advances in IS/IT, many struggle to<br>
manage their technical infrastructures. These challenges bring great<br>
opportunities for IS research and practice.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The purpose of this mini-track is to provide researchers with a forum for<br>
presentation and discussion of the key issues and challenges related to the<br>
adoption and strategic use of IS/IT by non-profit organizations. Authors are<br>
encouraged to submit papers on IS/IT issues within the non-profit context.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
. Theoretical perspectives and frameworks describing the<br>
organizational digital divide.<br>
<br>
. Barriers to IS/IT diffusion and adoption among non-profit<br>
organizations.<br>
<br>
. IS/IT planning and management in non-profit organizations.<br>
<br>
. Design, implementation, and use of IS/IT to improve non-profit<br>
organizations' social mission.<br>
<br>
. Strategic uses of IS/IT among nonprofit organizations.<br>
<br>
. Alignment of IS/IT strategy and non-profit organization's social<br>
mission.<br>
<br>
. Measuring effectiveness of IS/IT use in nonprofit organizations.<br>
<br>
. Issues related to improving sustainable practices in the non-profit<br>
sector.<br>
<br>
. Methods and techniques for helping non-profit managers exploit the<br>
potential of IS/IT.<br>
<br>
. IS/IT to support creativity and innovation in non-profits.<br>

17th Americas Conference on Information Systems<br>
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA<br>
<br>
Track: Diffusion of Information Technology<br>
<br>
Minitrack title: Beyond Use: Examining the outcomes of System Use<br>
<br>
Description:<br>
IS literature has built a rich stream of research predicting system use in various contexts. An implicit assumption was that use would produce positive benefits either for the individual, team or organization. This explains why most research examining IT/IS adoption and diffusion had intention to use or use at the dependent variable. Researchers have less frequently examined use as the independent variable in the nomological network. As a result, our understanding of whether or not use yields actual benefits and what exactly are those benefits, are less understood.<br>
<br>
This mini-track aims to expand our knowledge of IT/IS adoption and diffusion by moving beyond a focus on use, to understanding broader outcomes. Submissions are expected to provide new insights into how system use impacts outcomes at the individual and team level. As such, research examining the interplay between team and individual analysis is invited. In addition, the mini track is open to examining the impacts of various types of systems.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest to this mini-track will include but are not limited to the following:<br>
<br>
? The impacts of use on individual and team performance<br>
? The impacts of use on turnover, job satisfaction and employer commitment<br>
? The impacts of use on individual and team mental models<br>
? The impacts of use on trust, identity, cohesion and social integration<br>
? The impact of use on the development of social networks<br>
? How individual and/or team system use evolves over time to impact various outcomes<br>
? How team system use influences individual outcomes<br>

Announcing the publication of a Themed Special Issue of the Journal of Decision Systems including papers selected at the 15th IFIP WG 8.3 international conference on DSS, Lisbon, Portugal, July 2010, and an invited piece by Paul Gray and Omar El Sawy.<br>
<br>
The Journal of Decision Systems is pleased and honored to publish in this special issue an invited article co-authored by Professor Paul Gray who is one of the founding fathers of the decision support systems area. We had learned indirectly that his 80th birthday on December 8, 2010 would coincide with the publication of this issue, and would like to extend our celebratory congratulations to him as well as to convey our appreciation of his lifelong scholarly contributions. We also want to wish him many more productive and healthy years.<br>
<br>
Professor Gray was the author of one of the first papers on group decision support systems and the creator of one of the first decision rooms when he was at Southern Methodist University. He has continued to make important contributions to understanding decision support systems and decision making over the last four decades.<br>
Paul Gray is Professor Emeritus and Founding Chair of Information Science at Claremont Graduate University. He specializes in information systems, particularly decision support systems, knowledge management, data warehousing and electronic commerce. Before coming to Claremont in 1983, he was a professor at Stanford University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, and Southern Methodist University. He was a professor for over 30 years and served as department chair for 15 years. Prior to his academic career, he worked for 16 years in research and development organizations including nine years at SRI International. His PhD is in Operations Research from Stanford University. He retired in May 2001, but continues to teach, do research, consult, and to curate the Paul Gray PC Museum at Claremont Graduate University.<br>
<br>
Professor Gray was awarded the LEO Award of the Association for Information Systems for lifetime achievement. He has been inducted as a Fellow of the Association of Information Systems, and a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences - and in both cases was in the first group of Fellows named. He is a winner of the Kimball Medal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, Educator of the Year by EDSIG, and the NATO Systems Science Prize. Professor Gray has also served as President of The Institute of Management Sciences.<br>

SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Web and Requirements Engineering<br>

<br>
<br>
IET Software's JCR Impact Factor increased by 20% to 0.620 in 2010.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
In the last decade, the number and complexity of Web-based software systems<br>
and the amount of information they offer has been continuously growing. In<br>
the context of Software Engineering, design methods and methodologies were<br>
introduced to provide mechanisms to develop these complex Web applications<br>
and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in a systematic way. Most of these<br>
methodologies focus on implementation and neglect other tasks such as<br>
requirement analysis and quality management. Although the relevance of<br>
Requirements Engineering is well known these techniques should be studied<br>
more widely in the Web Engineering community due to the complexity of Web<br>
Engineering problems (such as the changing nature of the stakeholders or the<br>
diversity of Web-related requirements). On the other hand, Requirements<br>
Engineering is a complex activity whose success depends on stakeholder<br>
participation. Therefore, the techniques proposed in the Requirements<br>
Engineering field need a more participative environment to support effective<br>
collaboration among stakeholders. In this context, the Web (especially Web<br>
2.0 applications), provide a convenient platform that supports active<br>
participation by stakeholders in the Requirements Engineering process.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
* Web requirements elicitation and analysis<br>
<br>
* Web requirements validation and verification<br>
<br>
* Web engineering methods and tools supporting requirements<br>
<br>

Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
You are cordially invited to watch a 45 sec video about Father Christmas, and how he is getting help to clear customs with the Christmas gifts for the children of the world. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2tqH7RyzXg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2tqH7RyzXg</a><br>
<br>
The video is a short introduction to a 6 mill ? EU project on trade facilitation using IT, which we are just finishing. There is a lot of useful material on the web-site.<br>
<br>
The project aims at reducing fraud, enhancing security and cutting down administrative costs.<br>
If you like it, please forward this mail to anybody you think might potentially be interested.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, I encourage you to have a look at the web-site itself<br>
<a href="http://www.itaide.org" target="_blank">http://www.itaide.org</a><br>
where you will find a lot of information on the project on trade facilitation, a second video providing a management overview of the project, and free excerpts from the book coming out these days.<br>
<br>
You may also see this as an example of how some IS researchers try to add value by creating impact following a design science paradigm.<br>
<br>

Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The last issue of the current volume of the<br>
European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS)<br>
has just been published. While all of the works<br>
in this volume are important and interesting, the<br>
OR Society and Palgrave have permitted us to<br>
select three papers that typify the volume, and<br>
to make these temporarily available to the<br>
research community for free. It was a tough choice, but here goes:<br>
<br>
The first comes from the EJIS Special Series on<br>
Contrarian Information Systems Studies, a series<br>
which is aiming to engender real debate and<br>
loosen the grip of paradigmatic mindsets.The<br>
second provides interesting theories and insights<br>
about an action research project addressing<br>
conflict and resistance issues.Through a<br>
comprehensive literature review, the third<br>
identifies 22 different definitions of 'Business<br>
Model' and present a hierarchical taxonomy of the concept.<br>
<br>
These papers are freely available to you until<br>
the end of December. Simply click on the links below:<br>

Recently, environmental issues have motivated both researchers and practitioners to identify solutions from Green IT and Green IS. Among practitioners, while Green IT has gained significant attention, Green IS has seen increasing importance. Even though Green IT covers both infrastructure and organizational aspects of environmental technology, Green IS incorporates a more general initiative by associating an integrated set of systems (including people, processes, software, and information technologies) to support individual, organizational, and societal goals. Surprisingly, while industries, corporations, and IS units have acknowledged the importance of environmental issues, the IS academy has provided limited contribution to burgeoning knowledge in Green IS. The critical role of both Greening IS and Greening IT and both Green IS and Green IT for goods and services manufacture is visible to consumers but is also embedded in the life cycles of materials, manufacturing systems, and public infrastructure. Information in general, and IS and IT systems in particular can play an important control role through support of environmental management systems, life cycle analysis, and design for the environment practices. Organizationally IS and IT managers and technologists' awareness of greening organizations is one of the potential starting points that requires investigation. The latest step is not only awareness and readiness, but how can organizations leverage their IS capacities to effectively address these issues from reactive risk management or cost averse perspectives, and also a longer term competitive stance and relationship. Inevitably, this special topic issue of the Green IS/IT the decision to complete environmental action will be strategic with fundamental changes across the organization and IS can play a central role in this effort.<br>
