Dgo 2015 Track Social Media
The Digital Government Society (DGS) <http://dgsociety.org/> announces the
16th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research - dg.o
2015
*Digital Government and Wicked Problems: Climate Change, Urbanization, and
Inequality *
CFP for the Social Media and Government Track
EXTENDED DEADLINE January 30
The use of social media has been growing rapidly and globally. Governments
at all levels have been using these media for public administration and for
outreach to citizens. Citizens, businesses and voluntary associations have
been using them to share information, ask questions, and to collaborate on
problem solving in neighborhoods, states, industries and nations. The
growing use of social media has created new challenges and opportunities
for all users, e.g., changes in regulations and policies, marketing, and
more diverse perspectives and feedback. However the staggering number and
diversity of messages and topics generated is difficult to process and make
sense of, not only on a day-to-day basis, but also during crises. Social
media have also offered broader, more diverse participation in collective
problem solving and governance. This track welcomes research and practice
papers addressing a range of similar or related topics on social media
analysis on content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance
this area of research.

> *** Theme: Open Frameworks: from Service to Cloud ***
>
>
>
> Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has had a disruptive effect on the
> commercial software industry and the ways that organizations and
> individuals
> create, distribute, acquire and use software and software-based services.
> In
> addition to the many standalone FOSS projects, FOSS is at the heart of
> modern network-based computing infrastructures and can be found in the vast
> majority of applications that run in these environments.
>
>
>
> Many organizations that have been known for developing proprietary software
> are now actively involved with FOSS. FOSS adoption continues to grow among
> businesses, governments, and other organizations. FOSS remains important
> for
> educators and researchers, as well as an important aspect of e-government
> and information society initiatives, providing access to high-quality
> software and the code used to create it.
>
>
>
> Also, FOSS has taken the lead in a number of crucial ICT domains, like
> Cloud
> Computing, where open source cloud stacks are widely adopted, and Big Data,
> where a wealth of FOSS solutions is now being built around Hadoop.
>
>
>
> The 11th International Conference on Open Source Systems (OSS 2015) will
> celebrate a decade of advances in the use of free and open source software
> by emphasizing areas and topics that will drive future use over the next
> decade. This will be achieved through a combination of high-quality
> research
> papers, tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, and invited talks. OSS2015
> will be co-located with the 2015 International Conference on Software
> Engineering as a way to cross-fertilize ideas. The theme for the 2015
> edition will be "Open frameworks: from service to cloud", putting forward
> the idea on how open source framework can develop the transition from
> traditional IT services to cloud-based architectures.
>
>
>
> A central goal of OSS 2015 is to provide an international forum where a
> diverse community of professionals from academia, industry, the public
> sector, and diverse FOSS initiatives can come together to share research
> findings and practical experiences. The conference also aims to serve as a
> meeting place where people can identify new research ideas and techniques
> for putting FOSS into widespread use.
>
>
>
> OSS 2015 will include research papers, industry papers, formal tool
> demonstrations, lightning talks, new ideas, experience reports, and
> posters.
> OSS 2015 also invites proposals for tutorials and workshops, submissions to
> the doctoral symposium, and submissions of panel proposals.
>
>
>
> Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, which are
> published by Springer.

>
> The 2nd International Symposium on Partial Least Squares Path Modeling -
> The Conference for PLS Users is for researchers in business and social
> sciences who apply and advance partial least squares (PLS) path modeling.
> It provides a platform for the fruitful exchange of ideas regarding
> variance-based structural equation modeling. It resumes and enriches the
> ongoing discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of PLS path modeling.
>
> The main symposium takes place on June 17 & 18, 2015. There will be a
> pre-conference workshop on 16 June 2015 to provide an introduction to PLS
> path modeling (in English and Spanish), and on 19 June 2015, a
> post-conference workshop will take place on new developments in the context
> of PLS path modeling. Detailed information about the conference and the
> workshops can be found at http://2015.pls-symposium.org <

> DESCRIPTION
>
> Transition economies are a particular case of emerging economies,
> including countries from the former eastern bloc and those that resulted
> from the breakup of the Soviet Union, which, in the last two decades, have
> abandoned the communist-style central planning system and committed to
> substantial reforms to adopt a free market approach.
>
> These fast growing transition economies play an increasingly significant
> role in the global market, with information technology (IT) being a key
> driving force in this process. However, despite their growing importance,
> research that specifically addresses the specificities and different
> challenges of IT in transition economies is still scarce, when compared
> with the body of knowledge for developed countries.
>
> The objective of this mini-track is to encourage more research in this
> topic by providing a forum for interested authors to disseminate their
> research, compare results, and exchange ideas.
>
>
> SUGGESTED TOPICS
>
> We are seeking papers dealing with IT in the specific context of
> transition economies, but in their various facets, such as business,
> technical, social, political, cultural, economical, legal, and educational.
> Possible topics of interest to this special issue include but are not
> limited to the following:
>
> ? IT service systems for a service economy,
> ? IT governance and management,
> ? Design and deployment of IT in small and medium enterprises,
> ? Success factors, barriers and risks of IT adoption,
> ? Return on IT investment (financial and other),
> ? IT in global supply chains,
> ? Off-shoring and outsourcing of systems and services,
> ? E-government and e-democracy,
> ? Applications of IT in education,
> ? Comparative cross-country research,
> ? Country specific case studies.

> Description:
> The preoccupation with supply chain management (SCM) has been present over
> the last few decades. Numerous studies have pointed to the need to increase
> the level of integration of inter- and intra-organizational processes and
> information systems in order to achieve a greater level of seamlessness and
> reduce duplication efforts and corresponding inefficiencies. The advent of
> new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data',
> 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies
> (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Enterprise
> Resource Planning (ERP) II) should accelerate this trend. For example, the
> combination of intelligent products and intelligent services enabled by
> RFID with the existing ICTs in supply chains should play a facilitating
> role - thus allowing greater visibility of products and services to supply
> chain members -, and in parallel offer more opportunities for quick and
> efficient supply chain activities. Supply chain members should therefore
> face greater strain as they will be expected to manage not only their own
> activities in relation to those products and services, but also the
> integration of upstream and downstream core business processes and inter-
> and intra-organizational information systems. In this context,
> collaboration between the supply chain stakeholders to co-create and
> capture value from ITs for their economic growth sustainability becomes not
> only a prerequisite, but also a major challenge. This mini-track aims to
> look at how to co-create and capture business value from new concepts
> (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of
> Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID
> technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) both at the firm and supply chain levels.
>
> Suggested topics, but are not limited to:
>
> 1. IT-enabled business analytics at the firm and supply chain levels
>
> 2. Business process modeling & simulation, business process redesign
> from new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data',
> 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies
> (e.g., RFID , Bluetooth, ERPII) at the firm and supply chain levels
>
> 3. Modeling and simulation of the business value of new concepts
> (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of
> Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID
> technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) on quality management
>
> 4. Modeling and simulation of the costs and risks associated with the
> deployment of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open
> data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and
> technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) at firm and supply
> chain levels
>
> 5. Modeling and simulation of financial, managerial, leadership, and
> human resources required for projects of new concepts (e.g., social media,
> Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of Things',
> green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth,
> ERPII)
>
> 6. Case studies on the implementation of new concepts (e.g., social
> media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of Things', 'Web of
> Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology,
> Bluetooth, ERPII) for business value co-creation at the firm and supply
> chain levels
>
> 7. Enabling innovative electronic business models using new concepts
> (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, 'Big Data', 'Open data', 'Internet of
> Things', 'Web of Things', green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID

> Introduction:
> Big data analytics is de?ned as ?a collection of data and technology that
> accesses, integrates, and reports all available data by filtering,
> correlating, and reporting insights not attainable with past data
> technologies? (APICS 2012). It is an emerging phenomenon which reflects the
> ever increasing significance of data in terms of its growing volumes,
> variety and velocity (the speed with which it is being created and
> processed) (Department for Business- Innovation and Skills 2013). While
> data has always been a part of the Information and Communication Technology
> (ICT) agenda, it is the scale and scope of change which big data is
> bringing that has attracted so much attention. Like many new phenomena it
> is sometimes over-sold because of hype or misunderstanding, yet there are
> tangible case studies of the power of big data to generate value and
> competitive advantage, albeit such examples remain comparatively small in
> number to-date. Its applications have been strong in the financial
> services, insurance, retailing and healthcare sectors, while in
> manufacturing, companies such as Rolls Royce and Ford have been reported to
> derive success from big data in predicting engine failures before they
> occur and in managing supplier risk (Goodwin 2013).
>
> For Operations Management, big data has the potential to enable more
> sophisticated data-driven decision making and new ways to organise, learn
> and innovate (Yiu 2012; Kiron 2013). Its impact may be manifest in
> strengthening customer relationships, managing operations risk, improving
> operational efficiency or by improving product or service delivery or
> whatever the key business drivers may be (Kiron 2013). Operations in many
> organisations are experiencing much more voluminous and unstructured data
> environments because of real-time information from sensors and RFID tags
> which facilitate asset and business process monitoring (Davenport, Barth et
> al. 2012), end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved manufacturing and
> industrial automation (Wilkins 2013), manufacturing efficiency and
> effectiveness (Zelbst, Green et al. 2011). Ford, for example, is reported
> to be scouring ?the metrics from the company's best processes across myriad
> manufacturing efforts and through detailed outputs from in-use
> automobiles--all to improve and help transform its business.? (Gardner
> 2013). However, despite some reported successes, OM researchers need to
> retain a healthy scepticism until rigorous research has been done in
> operations contexts. That is why this new phenomenon should have the
> attention of OM researchers, and hence this call for papers.
>
> Given its high operational and strategic potential, notably in generating
> business value within various industries, big data has recently become the
> focus of a variety of scholars and practitioners. Some researchers have
> recently suggested that ?big data? is the ?next big thing in innovation?
> (Gobble 2013, p.64), ?the fourth paradigm of science? (Strawn, (2012)), or
> ?the next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity? (Manyika,
> Chui et al. 2011, p.1). As a result, challenges related to big data have
> confronted businesses and organizations. In the operations and service
> contexts, big data also holds tremendous potential. In a recent survey
> study on third-party logistics services (3PL), (Langley 2014) found that
> 97% of shippers and 93% of 3PLs ?feel strongly that improved, data-driven
> decision-making is essential to the future success of their supply chain
> activities and processes? (p. 4), whereas approximately 50% of each group
> disagrees that ?big data fuels these decisions? which shows how much
> potential for big data has still to be realized (p. 4). Big retailers are
> currently leveraging big data capabilities for improved customer
> experience, fraud reduction, and just-in-time recommendations (Tweney 2013).
> In addition, big data technologies can be implemented in a range of
> applications including industrial automation<
> http://www.dpaonthenet.net/products/183/Control-Automation> tools,
> building management systems, production equipment, sales force information
> systems, and power plan conditions tools. For example, big data
> enabled-automation and manufacturing facilitates real-time detection and
> diagnosis of production issues, and thus reduces significantly downtime
> costs. Similarly, insights from big data analytics allows real-time process
> monitoring and measurement for improved quality management, logistics and
> order fulfilment cycles (Wilkins 2013). In short, ?by observing causal
> factors for quality issues, process variability and energy efficiency
> through the manufacturing process, big data analysis becomes the basis for
> gaining a competitive advantage?(Wilkins 2013).
>
> Even if big data holds the capability of transforming competition and thus
> competitive advantage, many managers are still struggling to understand the
> concepts related to big data, consequently failing to capture business
> value from big data. In addition, very few empirical studies have been
> conducted on the real value from big data.
>
> Objective:
> The main objective of this special issue is to fill this knowledge gap.
> Specifically, this special issue aims to invite OM scholars and
> practitioners to look at the ways and means to co-create and capture
> business value from big data in terms of new business opportunities,
> improved performance, and competitive advantage. The results will in turn
> reveal the implications of big data on operations management practices and
> strategies.
>
> Recommended Topics:
> The topics to be discussed in this special issue include but are not
> limited to the following:
>
>
> ? Assessment of the effect of big data on operations and
> production management systems
>
> ? Assessment of the effect of big data on the decision-making
> processes in operations
>
> ? Assessment of facilitators and inhibitors of big data adoption
> for logistics, order fulfilment, distribution and supply chain management
>
> ? Big data-enabled business analytics at the plant location ,
> organizational, and supply chain levels
>
> ? In-depth & longitudinal case studies and pilot studies on the
> implementation of IT infrastructure to support big data initiatives for
> improved operations management, lean & agile operations, quality management
> in operations and supply chain management
