"911.gov" -- Social Networks + Disaster Relief
by Paul DiPerna 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

I came across a Technology Review article this morning which might interest some folks here who look at the intersection of ICTs and public policy. "Type 911.gov: Two scientists think that social networks can improve disaster relief" https://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/18196/ Here is another backgrounder I found on BBC's site- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6364301.stm I definitely like the intent behind this kind of initiative. Unfortunately the devil is always in the details when such a great idea enters a political process, and then actual implementation. The Shneiderman-Preece article appeared in Science this past week. (you'll need a subscription to view) 911.gov's purpose reminds me a little of the Katrina PeopleFinder Project- http://katrinahelp.info/wiki/index.php/Katrina_PeopleFinder_Project Best, Paul -------------- Paul DiPerna Blau Exchange http://www.blauexchange.org email: pdiperna(a)blauexchange.org Online ID: http://claimid.com/pdiperna

CFP: AMCIS 2007 Minitrack on ICT Adoption and Diffusion
by Yogesh Kumar Dwivedi 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

AMCIS 2007: http://www.biz.colostate.edu/amcis07/Mini_Tracks/IT_Management-Adoption_and… Minitrack: Adoption and Use of ICT in the Residential/Household Context TRACK: IT Management Chairs: Professor Michael D. Williams (m.d.williams(a)swansea.ac.uk) Dr. Yogesh Kumar Dwivedi (y.k.dwivedi(a)swansea.ac.uk) School of Business & Economics, University of Wales Swansea, Swansea, UK Phone: +44-1792-295-181 / +44-1792-295-626 Description: Although the study of the adoption and diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) is one of the more mature research areas within the IS discipline, much of the activity to date has focused upon conducting investigations from organizational and/or end-user/employee perspectives. While the key role of ICT within business and government is now well-recognized, it is also important to acknowledge that in modern society, ICT has become prevalent in the daily home lives of many individuals in forms such as e-commerce, e-government, e-learning, e-health, and e-working. This relatively recent emergence of the technology-contextualized home environment has in turn, generated numerous issues worthy of investigation, including awareness, adoption and usage of emerging technologies and electronic services, and social exclusion due to unequal adoption by different segments of society. However, given the broad range of issues offering potentially fruitful areas for investigation, and the varying approaches that may be employed to explore them, it is sometimes unclear where to place such material. Therefore, the objective of this mini-track is to provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of original research into emerging issues surrounding ICT adoption (and non-adoption) from the residential/household perspectives of consumers and citizens. The mini-track will focus on: Micro factors influencing ICT adoption and usage within the household Socio-economic/geographical/cultural factors relevant to household adoption of ICT Citizens' awareness of emerging electronic government and other online services The digital divide Provision of ICT in public places for citizens from lower socio-economic backgrounds Strategies of high-speed internet access providers and ISPs to household consumers in different countries Government policies toward adoption and diffusion of ICT, including e-government services and high-speed Internet access for household consumers/citizens Service quality and Security issues The impact of consumers home use of ICT on business models in various industries The impact ICT use on the daily/social/professional life of consumers/citizens Socio-economic impacts of consumer adoption of ICT ICT training for citizens AMCIS 2007 Colorado http://www.biz.colostate.edu/amcis07/ Key Dates: Papers Due: Monday, March 5, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: Monday, April 16, 2007 Camera Ready Copy Due: Monday, April 30, 2007 Sincerely, Yogesh Dwivedi ------------------------------------ Dr Yogesh K.

Social Study of IT Open Research Forum
by Jose-Carlos Mariategui 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Dear friends: The Information Systems Group of the London School of Economics will host the Social Study of IT Open Research Forum (SSIT-ORF), on 21st and 22nd of March 2007. This will follow the SSIT Workshop at the LSE (http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/newsAndEvents/2007event s/SSIT7.htm). The Open Research Forum will be an opportunity for IS researchers to present their work and discuss a broad range of themes relating to the SSIT in an informal, constructive setting. Primarily, the Forum provides an ideal opportunity for PhD and young IS researchers to present their work and raise questions on issues of their concern-substantive, theoretical, methodological or practical. It is also a useful experience for other researchers wishing to understand what SSIT is like, though their research approach may be different e.g. from an engineering or business perspective. In previous years the Forum attracted also experienced SSIT researchers, supervisors and PhD programme directors and we had stimulating discussions about the merits and challenges of SSIT research. There will be a number of short presentations (about 10 minutes) and panel discussions with plenty of time to focus on emerging questions and issues. Registrations for the SSIT-ORF are currently taking place. Those who are interested in presenting should send a summary (up to 600 words) of their work to SSITORF(a)lse.ac.uk. Those who are interested in participating without a presentation should only apply for attendance at the same email address. As space is limited, places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The closing date for applications is by the 5th of march of 2007. Looking forward to meeting you in March, SSIT-ORF Committee. PS. You may also find of interest Bruce Schneier’s Public Lecture on security the evening of Wednesday 21st March (http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/informationSystems/newsAndEvents/2007event s/schneier.htm).

web 2.0 discussion references
by Clifford Tatum 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Thanks everyone for the lively discussion of Web 2.0. It is always fascinating when “definition” discussions occur on this list. My assessment of the discussion, along with the materials provided, is that the term Web 2.0 is inadequate to describe the phenomena that many of us are grappling to articulate in our research. That said, I would also argue that there is a collection of socio-technical interaction that warrants new analysis and perhaps a new category. The other competing collector-name(s) referenced in this discussion were “social software” or “social networking”. I like these better than web 2.0 but they still seem lacking. It is interesting to recall a number of similar definition debates on AoIR-l over the last couple of years. For example, there were significant challenges to terms such as cyberspace, Internet, Web, Internet research, new media, and probably many more. I suspect these terms are still somewhat contentious. However, this fluid state of meaning (and/both) is in part what makes the field so interesting. See below for a list of citations/references/blogs submitted in the Web 2.0 discussion.

Research papers are expected to advance the state of the art by describing substantiated new research or novel technical results or by reporting on significant experience (including case studies) or experimentation. They will be reviewed both with respect to conceptual quality and clarity of presentation. Note that authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference and present the paper, otherwise publication will be canceled. Accepted research papers will be provided as part of the conference proceedings. They will be put into the ACM Digital Library and can be referenced as papers that appeared in the "Proceedings of the 2007 International Symposium on Wikis (WikiSym 2007)". We invite full papers (recommended length of 10 to 15 pages with maximum of 20 pages, and a 30 minute presentation time) and short papers (maximum 6 pages, with a 15 minute presentation time).
