CALL FOR PAPERS
FOR THE VALUE WEBS IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY MINI-TRACK
Part of the Internet and the Digital Economy Track
at the Thirty-eigth Annual
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
on the Big Island of Hawaii
January 3 - 6, 2005 |
26.02.2004 |
|
ABSTRACT
Value Webs are networks of partners who collaborate within different stages of interlinked value chains enabled by ICT. The Mini-track wants to discuss the use and impacts of emerging technologies in interlinked value chains to support inter-business and inter-personal processes and relationships from technological, social and economical perspectives.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Diffusion of Internet, web services and pervasive technologies
will result in industry wide and organizational transformation
with far reaching micro- and macro economic effects. The transformation
is triggered by new and pervasive ICT infrastructures, products
and services that enable continually new product- and process-innovations.
Recent innovations in new business practices such as Zero Latency
Business, Mass Customisation, Product Modularisation, Enterprise
Application Integration, collaborative supply Chain Management,
Mobile Commerce, Customer Integration in product development and
distribution are just few examples of deep changes the Internet
and Mobile Technologies have created. Internet and Mobile Technologies
affect all facets of production, distribution and usage of information
goods and significantly transform development-, production- and
distribution of physical goods in ‘Old-Economy’ industries.
The impact of Internet based technologies is seen clearly in emerging
corporate strategies. These strategies recognize new competitive
challenges within existing value chains that will dissolve or
be totally reassembled. Competition is shifting from an inter-company
level to a competition over strategic partners and architectural
control. This we call competition within and between emerging
Value Webs- new value chain arrangements. Value Webs consist of
networks of partners and competitors which collaborate across
and within various stages of value chain. These interactions are
enabled and constrained by ICT capability where value extraction
draws upon specific architectural responsibility and control.
Information Systems researchers have recently directed their attention
to specific examples of these Net-Enabled Value Webs (see e.g.
2002 volumes 2 & 3 of Information Systems Research). Net Enabled
Value Webs can execute transactions, rapidly exchange information,
and innovate through new business processes, and at an unprecedented
pace. Accordingly inter-organizational cooperation is often discussed
in terms of B2B-Marketplaces, Supply Chain Management, Virtual
Organizations, or Strategic Alliances etc. Also new types of collaborative
communities, e.g. on-line communities or communities of practice,
are emerging which fundamentally have changed the relationships
between producer and consumers. Information and Communication
Technologies both enable and constrain these and other types of
Value Web arrangements. Recently, the impact and potential of
Mobile Technologies has attracted increased attention in shaping
new value creation networks (see e.g. several tracks in conferences
like ICIS etc. and special editions of journals like Electronic
Markets, etc.) due to the need to reconfigure large portions of
the value chains that will deliver mobile services. All these
aspects and research topics describe a paradigm shift in value
creation and extraction in the age of the internet.
Since the research in Value Webs requires multidisciplinary research
involving applied computer and information sciences (such as Computer
Supported Cooperative Work, Artificial Intelligence, Information
Retrieval, Human Computer Interaction, Information Systems, Ontologies)
and social sciences (such as Economics, Management Science), the
Mini-track addresses primarily empirical and conceptual research.
The topics covered in the Mini-track include, but are not restricted
to the following subjects:
- New IT-enabled Services and Service Architectures in and for Value Webs
- Architectures and Infrastructures for Value Webs (architectural control and value extraction, scope and flexibility, Application Integration within Value Webs, evolvability)
- New types of platforms for value webs (e-collaboration, collaborative market places, R&D knowledge communities)
- New Technologies Enabling Value Webs (e.g. RFID, smart dust)
- Standards and Ontologies for Inter- and Intra-organizational Collaboration in Value Webs (web service choreographies, semantics)
- Customer Integration in Value Webs (customer knowledge sharing)
- Supply Chain Management, Marketplaces, and Product Development in Value Webs
- Interfaces, Methods, Products, Service Design and Social Considerations for Collaboration in Value Webs
- Methods for Supporting, Creating and Adapting Value Webs
- Adoption and Diffusion of ICT in Value Webs, the role and impact of standards as coordinating mechanism
- Case Studies and Reference Models for Value Webs in Different Industries
- Social, Political and Economic Impact of Value Webs
- Business Models and economic analyses for Value Webs

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
This year, HICSS is implementing a web-based peer review system for submitted papers. Here is a summary of the process Authors have to follow (please see also http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/Hicss38/authorguide.htm for updates on the submission process):
Here is a summary of the process:
- Authors submit papers to the file submission website in publication format.
(Papers must be double column, single space and no more than 10 pages long.)
Do not submit papers directly to the Minitrack Chairs. All papers must be uploaded into the website to be reviewed for the conference. The website will be open approximately mid-April. Additional instructions will be available at that time. Check the conference website for details.
- The deadline for uploading papers is June 15th 5:00 pm Pacific Time.
- After papers are uploaded, they are converted to pdf and then sent to authors for ‘approval’ prior to being released to the Minitrack chair for the review process.
- Papers will then be reviewed through the system.
- Acceptance decisions will be made by August 15th. (Accept/Reject or Accept with Required Revisions)
- Papers accepted with required revisions must be revised by authors by September 15, and reviewed by the Minitrack Chair before final acceptance is made.
- Final version of papers must be uploaded by October 1st, 5:00pm Pacific Time.
- Authors must register for the conference by October 1st.
The paper must contain original results and not have been submitted elsewhere while it is being evaluated for acceptance for HICSS-38. Manuscripts that have already appeared in publication will not be considered for this conference.
