Track:
Decision Technologies and Service Sciences
Minitrack: Analytical and
Simulation Models for Knowledge,
Enterprise, and Service Networks
A collection of best papers from this mini-track will be invited
for extension and publication in following peer-reviewed journal
outlets:
Last two journals on this list have early deadlines
(June 20th, 2009). Authors are encouraged to contact mini track co-chairs
and special issue guest editors early.
There is an emerging need for systematic study of various decision and
business processes embedded within different service, knowledge and
enterprise networks along with key organizational communication
technologies to develop models, theories and methods that guide effective
and efficient use of these technologies. Despite making significant
progress towards streamlining organizational workflow processes with the
aid of various technologies, researchers have given little attention to
various direct and indirect economic, time and performance implications in
any knowledge, service or enterprise networks. Analytically robust
solutions need to be developed from several different areas such as
modeling and simulation, social network analysis, human-computer
interaction, information ergonomics, game theory, micro-economic theory
and other modeling or empirical approaches to help improve organizational
decision making, information processing (or flow) and the performance of
these systems as their effects permeates more deeply and into work and
family life.
The aim of this mini track is to focus on a vast majority of
cross-disciplinary analytical and simulation approaches that can be used
to identify strategies and suggest improvements in the decision making,
business processes, knowledge work processing and communication within
networks. For contributing to these areas, this mini-track is soliciting
research results on the following topics of interest, but not limited.
