8:30 AM-12:00 PM Crestone 1 Workshop |
Entity Data Platform Presenter: Jose Blakely, Microsoft |
This workshop describes the ADO.NET Entity Framework, a platform for programming against data that raises the level of abstraction from the logical (relational) level to the conceptual (entity) level, and thereby significantly reduces the impedance mismatch for applications and data services such as reporting, analysis, and replication. The conceptual data model is made real by a runtime that implements an extended relational model (the Entity Data Model aka the EDM), that embraces entities and relationships as first class concepts; a query language for the EDM; a comprehensive mapping engine that translates from the conceptual to the logical (relational) level, and a set of model-driven tools that help create entity-object, object-xml, and entity-xml transformers. | |

Web 2.0 - Overview, Principals, Constituents and Business Models Chairs: Srinivas Padmanabhuni, Infosys Technologies Ltd, Jai Ganesh, Infosys Technologies |
Web 2.0 refers to the adoption of open technologies and architectural frameworks to facilitate participative computing thereby creating enhanced customer experience, collaboration and co-creation of value. Web 2.0 relies heavily on creating and leveraging network effects by attracting a large number of participants and enabling interactions between them. Customer and partner facing processes using Web 2.0 has the potential to not only transform peer-to-peer collaboration, but also inter-entity collaborations and commerce by enabling various types and combinations of collaboration and commerce such as business-to-consumer (B2B), business-to-business (B2B), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), business-to-enterprise (B2E) business-to-government (B2G) etc. collaboration and commerce. Web 2.0 has the potential to not only enable rich peer-to-peer interactions but also enable collaborative value creation across business partners. | |

Business Process Management - More than Business Modeling and Management Leader: David Graves, IBM |
The Business Process Management (BPM) workshop begins with a discussion of audience perceptions of business process management gained from the available literature. The workshop will continue by positing a broad definition of business process management that will lead to discovery of the information technology aspects of business process management. Information technology architecture artifacts from completed implementations will be introduced as examples of the information technology aspects of business process management and the session will round out with a depiction of the scope of business process management as a platform of viewpoints for future research and publication of BPM. | |

Active Learning in the University Classroom |
The workshop is a half day, experiential session in which participants learn and practice techniques which can be used to facilitate active student learning in a University classroom. Participants learn various techniques to incorporate collaborative learning strategies, listening and thinking strategies and individual student learning strategies into their courses. Participants must come prepared to actively participate in the workshop process. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will have developed at least two active learning lessons to be delivered to their students when they return to the classroom. | |

Helping IS Research Reach New Heights through Text Mining Methods Chair: Dirk Hovorka, University of Colorado |
Text mining and analysis approaches from information science and cognitive science have gained prominence as valid methods for examining both small and large text datasets. These approaches have lately been applied in Management, Sociology, and, to a lesser extent, in IS. One such approach, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) has been hailed as both a theory of language use and a text analysis technique. This workshop will provide a review of how LSA has been used as a research method in the business fields. It will develop a conceptual framework to help the participants understand the contexts in which such approaches may be useful. It will cover approaches available for exploratory and predictive analysis. The workshop will also examine some text analysis methods which currently use hand-coding, and suggest ways in which these might be done using LSA. The workshop will then provide a hands-on example of how to use LSA to develop a research design appropriate for behavioral information systems research. | |

8:30 AM-10:00 AM Torreys 3 Panel |
Analysis and Design in the IS Curriculum: Taking it to the Next Level Panelists: Dinesh Batra, Florida International University, John Satzinger, Missouri State University, Heikki Topi |
Several course-related and environment governed trends seem to impact the coverage in the Systems Analysis and Design (SA&D) course - the growing popularity of object-oriented techniques, the emergence of the iterative approach, the increasing adoption of the agile approach, the rising importance of UML, the outsourcing trend leading to global distribution of SA&D work, the shortening of the life cycle, and the rate of change in the environment. The scope of the course has increased. Yet, most MIS degree programs have just one SA&D course. The typical SA&D instructor faces a number of difficult questions when trying to fit the much larger range of topics into a single course. The panel will evaluate how the trends impact the coverage of the course. | |
|
8:30 AM-10:00 AM Red Cloud Panel |
IT Workforce Trends: Implications for Curriculum and Hiring Panelists: Christine Bullen, Stevens Institute of Technology, Thomas Abraham, Kean University, Stuart Galup, Florida Atlantic University |
Panelists will discuss a continuing research project into the IT Workforce and future trends, presenting the latest results of an international web-based survey. The project is sponsored by the SIM International Advocacy Program and consists of two phases. The initial phase was a study of workforce trends in IT client companies and was completed in 2006. IT executives from client firms say it is critical to own business and project management skills, especially in their mid-level hires. Technical skills are more likely to be externally sourced, but they are also sought in entry-level hires. The second phase is a study of trends in IT provider companies and is ongoing. Our preliminary results indicate that provider firms are also seeking project management and business domain capabilities over technical capabilities. We will compare the current results to the Phase one results from client organizations and discuss the implications of the data for curriculum design, hiring and training practices. | |

8:30 AM-10:00 AM Ten Mile Tutorial |
Testing, Testing, One, Two, Three: How to Compare Statistical Techniques Such as PLS, Regression, and LISREL Chairs: William Lewis, Louisiana Tech University, Ron Thompson, Wake Forest University, Dale Goodhue, Terry College of Bus., University of Georgia |
This tutorial presents a "how to" approach to using Monte Carlo simulation that can be used to test the efficacy of PLS, regression, LISREL and others statistical estimation techniques under various special conditions such as small sample size, missing data, non-normal distributions, etc. Our approach formed the basis for a forthcoming article in ISR, and another that is currently under review at MISQ. The tutorial will explain, step-by-step, how researchers can design and conduct a study using the Monte Carlo approach to help expand their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of any statistical technique. We will also provide participants with the programs and software aids to be able to more easily use the technique themselves. | |

Technology-enhanced learning in blended learning environments: Practical considerations and lessons learned Panelists: Chelley Vician, Michigan Technological University, Andrew Urbaczewski , Salisbury University, Michele Gribbins, University of Illinois at Springfield |
There is little doubt that computer and communication technologies can enhance learning, if implemented in a well-structured pedagogical context. Previous research however tends to focus on comparing learning that takes place either in a traditional face-to-face environment, or exclusively on-line. What we term “blended learning environments” are probably much more common on university campuses than either of these extremes. A blended learning environment combines instructional delivery in a traditional face-to-face co-located context with on-line learning, either synchronously or asynchronously. This panel will provide practical lessons learned from deploying several commercially available audio- and video-based Web-enabled computer and communication tools for instructional delivery in a blended environment. |

Service-Centric Computing and Its Impact on Business and Education Panelists: J. Leon Zhao, University of Arizona, Michael Goul, Arizona State University, Sandeep Purao, Penn State University, Tony Shan, Mohan Tanniru, University of Arizona |
The past few years have seen a dramatic development in service-centric computing and related technologies. According to Gartner, by 2008, 80 percent of software development projects will be based on service-oriented architectures. The distinction between software integrators and vendors will blur as packaged applications are broken apart and delivered as service-oriented business applications. This panel will gather a number of leading scholars from academia and industry who are interested in exploring the various research and development issues in service-centric computing. In particular, the panel will present their positions and insights and discuss with the audience on how business and education should take advantage of the upcoming paradigm shift in enterprise infrastructure as the corporate world moves deeper into service-centric computing. | |

Planners Lab Chair: James Courtney, University of Central Florida |
The Planners Lab (PL) ™ is a new software package with excellent tools for visualizing the output of spreadsheet models. It is free to faculty and students for academic, administrative or research use. The basic components of the PL are (1) an algebraic model-building language based on the Interactive Financial Planning Language once highly popular in schools of business and (2) excellent, easy-to-use features to visualize answers to what-if and goal-seek questions, that is to play with model assumptions and parameters and visually witness changes in results. The combination of these components allows business analysts to build, review and manipulate the assumptions that underlie a decision making scenario. | |

Executive management is responsible for implementing enterprise-wide risk management programs as a means to insure cost efficient risk mitigation, compliance with laws and regulations, and communications with stakeholders. An important means of accurate measurement of the effectiveness of the management is establishment of a security metrics program. Security metrics can be used to evaluate complex information security programs, improve security processes, provide data used in the calculation of the return for security investment, determine compliance, and track progress toward desired security capabilities. There is a need for research to verify/confirm the management challenges, discover current management deficiencies, identify best practices, devise methodologies, and specify requirements for suitable metrics and tools for the management of security. The purpose of this panel is to draw upon the work and the experience of each panelist and the audience on this subject with particular emphasis on the management of information security. | |

2:30 PM-4:00 PM Arapahoe Tutorial |
Visualizing IS: A Introductory Tutorial on Geographic Information Systems Chairs: Daniel Farkas, Pace University, Narayan Murthy, Pace University |
Information Systems traditionally involve the application of computing to the problems of organizations. Geographic Information Systems are characterized by data, spatial objects, which have locations (e.g. addresses, landmarks, geopolitical boundaries, etc.) and data associated with them (e.g. demographic information, value, etc.). While many associate GIS systems with scientific data, emerging applications and research involves solving problems which asks business related questions about geospatial information and applied in many situations including Customer Analysis, Market Analysis, Site Selection, etc.
This tutorial will give a brief overview and demonstration of GIS concepts using the popular ESRI ARCView system. An exercise will include a brief GIS analysis to reinforce the introductory concepts. |

The "Connecting the Americas" panelists will discuss what should become a very important future mini-track for IS/IT research. Connecting the Americas research involves the understanding, creation, and sharing of theoretical and practical IS/IT issues among researchers in the Americas (North, South, Central America and the Caribbean Region). As our global community continues to shrink, it is important to examine all aspects of research that can potentially connect our close neighbor countries and cultures. We believe that this panel discussion could lead to many valuable new streams of IS/IT research. | |

4:30 PM-6:00 PM Arapahoe Tutorial |
Positioning and Tracking Technologies in Healthcare: RFID and More Chairs: Q.B. Chung, Villanova University, Nelson King, American University of Beirut |
Widespread adoption of indoor positioning and tracking technologies in US healthcare is expected in 2007. The first implementation challenge is to compare the technological alternatives including various flavors of passive or active RFID, 802.11 fingerprinting, ultrasound, infrared, and even video. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses so key tradeoffs are discussed. A taxonomy of positioning applications helps put into perspective the various triggers and contextual considerations that influence the choice of technology. Several case studies are used to illustrate the adoption challenges that will be encountered. These cases include a proof of concept implementation of a location tracking and verification system and several feasibility studies conducted for an emergency unit. One of these overlooked challenges is the need to integrate position information with clinical workflows which introduces social and organizational changes. Finally, areas of IS research related to position and tracking technologies are identified. | |

8:30 AM-10:00 AM Red Cloud Panel |
Undergraduate Information Systems Model Curriculum Revision: Rethinking the Approach and the Process Panelists: Heikki Topi, n/a, Joe Valacich, Washington State University, Jay Nunamaker, University of Arizona, Janice Sipior, Villanova University |
The panel will give the information systems community a status update of the recently launched joint ACM/AIS undergraduate IS curriculum revision effort and an opportunity to participate in the revision process. The panel will consist of the members of the ACM/AIS task force leading the project, and it will begin with a discussion on the factors that motivate this revision. We will continue with a description of three core themes that the task force believes are critically important for the revision process: expanding the scope of the model curriculum beyond schools of business/management, providing more flexibility to schools adopting the curriculum by separating the core of the curriculum from career track electives, and using Web 2.0 technologies to create a platform for ongoing curriculum maintenance. | |

The Global Text Project: Engaging Many For The Benefit Of Many More Panelists: Don McCubbrey, University of Denver, John Beachboard, Idaho State University, Paul Bauer, University of Denver, Goizueta Business School, Rick Watson, University of Georgia |
The Global text project was initiated in early 2006 to develop a series of free, open content, electronic textbooks using modified wiki software for university students in developing countries. The cost of traditional textbooks is a serious barrier to students wishing to obtain the education necessary to help lift themselves and their countries out of poverty. The project relies upon contributions from communities of academics, students and practitioners for textbook content. The proof of concept phase, consisting of texts on Information Systems and Business Fundamentals is well underway. Sufficient funding has been obtained from a Swiss Foundation to provide assurance of successful implementation of the initial two texts at universities in the developing world. Eight other texts have been proposed and are in various stages of development. The long-term goal of the project is to obtain corporate sponsors for 1000 books covering every major discipline in the first two years of a typical university curriculum. The panel members, all participants in the project, will discuss what has been learned in the past year, as well as plans to manage and scale the project. Issues covered will include community engagement, editorial oversight, and enlisting corporate support. | |

Graduate Programs in Information Systems: Why, Why Not, and How Panelists: Carolyn Jacobson, Marymount University, George Kasper, Virginia Commonwealth University, Heikki Topi, n/a, Richard Mathieu, James Madison University, Richard Redmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, Vikram Sethi, Wright State University |
For several years, AIS has partially underwritten, along with ACM and IEEE-CS, expenses associated with accrediting undergraduate programs in information systems (IS), and more that 30 IS programs have chosen to accredited their programs. More recently, AIS has launched an effort to accredit graduate-level programs in IS. This panel will update attendees on developments for both undergraduate and graduate accreditation efforts. The panelists will also discuss the relationship between criteria for accrediting IS programs and AACSB and EQUIS accreditation, including the utility of IS accreditation, and whether or not a program should be IS accredited. Substantial time will be allowed for discussion. |

Lessons Learned in Conducting Healthcare & Information Systems Research: Professors and Physicians Discuss, Debate and Collaborate Panelists: Sonja Wiley-Patton, Louisiana State University, Irma Becerra-Fernandez, Florida International University, Stephanie Mills, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Calvin Wheeler, n/a, Paul Murphree, n/a, Vance Wilson, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Elizabeth Davidson, University of Hawaii, Evgeny Kaganer, Louisiana State University |
This panel’s discussion is appropriate for the AMCIS 2007 conference and important for the IS community for a several reasons; (a) the recent increased interest in healthcare and information systems research evident by healthcare-related topics published in respected IS journals and conferences; (b) the development of new Healthcare and IT programs within Information Systems departments at prominent universities, including Claremont Graduate University Stevens Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon and (c) the important need to discuss the delicate process of gaining access to healthcare professionals and entrance to healthcare organizations in order to conduct the much needed empirical, yet practical IS research. This panel proposes to discuss from experience the sometimes tenuous, delicate, dynamic and yet vital processes entailed in conducting information systems research in the healthcare environment. | |
|
10:30 AM-12:00 PM Arapahoe Tutorial |
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Using SmartPLS Software: A Visual Tool for Quantitative Researchers Analyzing Path-Based Models Chair: Geoffrey Hubona, Georgia State University |
This ‘hands-on’ tutorial will demonstrate how to obtain and use sophisticated, but free, visual software for assessing the measurement and structural model characteristics of path-based SEM quantitative models using a partial least squares (PLS) approach. The tutorial will be presented as a teaching aid for faculty, doctoral students, and for other researchers who are currently engaged in SEM modeling. The tutorial will demonstrate how to use the features of SmartPLS software. SmartPLS, developed at the University of Hamburg (Germany), is a freeware application for (graphical) path modeling with latent variables using the PLS approach. As opposed to covariance-based SEM approaches (exemplified by software such as LISREL or EQS), the PLS method has been documented elsewhere (Chin, 1998) as possibly more appropriate for a majority of SEM studies and data sets typically used among researchers. PLS places different restrictions on sample size and data distributions. This is a topic of heightened current research interest in the field of MIS. MIS Quarterly is currently evaluating papers on this topic in a special call (see http://www.misq.org/PLS2.Call.pdf). | |

Conference Lunch: Rethinking Information Systems to Accommodate an Abundance of Riches Jose Blakely, Microsoft (AMCIS sponsor) |
Plenary Speaker Dr. Jose Blakely, Microsoft
The way we have historically built information systems is to create a process model; define an information model and then create queries and algorithms to answer our questions and test our theories. By many measures we are failing to keep up with new system demands and, while data acquisition and storage costs trend down, our overall systems costs are increasing. Is there hope in solving this challenge by completely rethinking how we build information systems? Some technology domains are being completely transformed by turning existing processes on their heads. In bioinformatics, microarray technology has transformed the science of studying genomic response to various compounds. In e-commerce product placement to promote optimal sales used to be painstaking and hunch driven process. Certain leaders are now using genetic algorithms to "learn" the optimal product placement strategy to optimize profits in real time. While machine learning is on the forefront of information technology, database technology is increasingly being used with great success in adjacent science domains. For example, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is employing commercial database technology to help map the heavens. In this talk we will focus on some innovative ways we can use the processing and storage riches at hand to rethink and remake traditional information systems across a number of traditional and non-traditional computing domains. |

IT Service Management in the IS Curriculum: A Road Map Panelists: John Beachboard, Idaho State University, Sue Conger, University of Dallas, Stuart Galup, Florida Atlantic University, Ramesh Venkatraman, Bharathidasan Institute of Management, Jack Probst, n/a |
The fundamental function of IT support, whether internal or external, is the cost-effective provision of IT services that meet organizational needs and align with organizational strategy. With ever-increasing adoption of IT management “best practices,” industry now leads the academic community by recognizing the need for IT professionals educated in the IT Service Management (ITSM) processes directly associated with the delivery of high-quality, low-cost IT services. The panel will discuss the importance of ITSM to business-school IT curricula and provide examples of how ITSM principles and content are currently being taught in the handful of undergraduate and graduate-level business school IS programs. The goals of the panel are to increase awareness within the business school community of the need for ITSM-based educational offerings along with a discussion of how to build a business case for ITSM in business school curricula. | |

2:00 PM-3:30 PM Arapahoe Tutorial |
From Hindsight to Foresight: Applying Delphi, Cross Impact Analysis, and Scenarios Chairs: Paul Gray, Claremont Graduate University, Anat Hovav, Korea University Business School |
Although much IS research deals with evaluating and improving existing information systems, researchers are also called upon to think about the future, particularly beyond organizational boundaries. For example, the potential impact of socio-technical phenomena such as the digital divide, Digital Rights Management, security, and privacy. One way of forecasting the future is to extrapolate empirically observed relations (e.g. Moore’s law). However, such extrapolations assume that the future is an immutable extension of the present and are usually limited to 1 or 2 dimensions. Externalities due to disruptive inventions, changes in regulations, tastes, competition, required skills, and more also need to be considered. This tutorial presents and explains three methodologies that take these changes into account to improve our understanding of the future: Delphi, cross impact analysis, and scenarios. | |

|
IBM: SSME Research and Curriculum Development in the IS Community - Moderated by Stephen Kwan (San Jose State University), sponsored by IBM. “Is SSME really old wine in new bottles?” Service sectors of modern economies are large and are among the fastest growing segments worldwide. Yet, research on optimal strategies and training of students for delivering such services are fragmented, often falling between the cracks of existing business, engineering, and science disciplines. IBM proposed the Service Science, Management and Engineering (SSME) initiative to address this issue. In 2007, other companies joined IBM to form the Service Research & Innovation (SRI) initiative. Recently, AIS established a new Special Interest Group on Services (SIGSVC). A main theme of these initiatives is that services require a multi-disciplinary approach for identifying, understanding, developing, and delivering services for customers of enterprises, non-profit organizations, and public institutions. Panelists will discuss initiatives undertaken at their universities for research and curriculum development. Qwest: The Qwest Strategy Toward Server Virtualization - Ross Rutledge |

Using ITIL to Improve IT Services Panelists: Vikram Sethi, Wright State University, Jim McGrane, Jon Richard, Barbara Denison, Wright State Univ |
Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a set of best practices for managing key IT service management support and delivery processes. While many IT organizations do manage most of the processes in some form, without ITIL these processes are usually not formalized. For example, IT managers in mainframe data centers will argue, with some justification, that the best practices defined in ITIL have long been a part of their everyday life. But even in these mature organizations ITIL may offer something that has been missing: the ability to better close the loop with other management best practices such as COBIT, CMMI, and Six Sigma. | |
|
4:00 PM-5:30 PM Arapahoe Tutorial |
How to Start an IS Academic Program in Health Information Systems Chairs: Vance Wilson, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Ken Trimmer, Idaho State University |
Although healthcare is the largest single sector of the U.S. economy, currently accounting for more than 16% of GDP, this area has been virtually ignored by IS academic programs. But healthcare has now emerged as a major IT growth area, and developing health IS curricula can provide IS academic programs that are experiencing low enrollments a unique opportunity to attract new students and ensure future viability. The tutorial will present the experiences of IS faculties at two U.S. universities in developing new health IS programs, one at the undergraduate level (Idaho State University) and the other a masters-level program (Northern Kentucky University). Both programs have undergone university review during the 2006-2007 academic year, so this will be a very current presentation by faculty who have just completed the program review process. | |

4:00 PM-5:30 PM Suns Tutorial |
Context-awareness in Pervasive Computing, Mobile Services, and Healthcare Chair: Upkar Varshney, Georgia State University |
The use of context information in mobile services to offer most useful services to users without wasting network resources is a challenge. This could also lead to a high-satisfaction and/or retention of customers, higher revenues in long-run, and users willing to pay more for such services. Work is also needed on when an additional context-information is not helpful or even problematic or having negative effect on the performance. In this tutorial, we present a discussion of context and context-awareness and also show how the context-awareness can be introduced to design highly effective and user-centric services. In particular, we discuss context-awareness in pervasive and ubiquitous computing, mobile commerce and health monitoring. Additionally, some open issues and research challenges are also discussed. | |
