The Public Domain (PD) always serves as an agent to provide better and reliable services and information to citizens. Recent advancements in technology, citizen-demand and new public management initiatives, have all contributed to the advent of Electronic Government (eGov). Much emphasis has been given in achieving this objective through the development of Electronic Government Information Systems (eGov-IS). The authors support that an eGov platform should not been seen as a stand-alone system but as a solution that communicates with back office applications through an integrated infrastructure. An integrated eGov-IS can efficiently automate the business processes of the public domain and increase citizens' satisfaction. However, to achieve such a solution, PD and Local Governments (LG) need to bridge together their disparate systems to provide a common and shared view of their information and services. Many LGs have encountered difficulties in incorporating their systems, and have turned to the adoption of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software packages to improve their services. Nonetheless, many legacy systems have not been replaced and thus, the need for integrating their eGov applications with their front desk and back office systems still exists. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) can be used to piece together eGov applications with packaged and legacy systems. Although, the application of EAI is flouring in the private sector, its adoption by the public domain is underutilised. The authors investigate EAI and demonstrate, through a case study, how EAI can be used to develop an integrated eGov infrastructure. In doing so, allowing others to relate their experiences to those reported herein as well as to aid public sector organisations on how they can integrate their disparate systems more efficiently and extend their lifecycles.

Knowledge is regarded as a primary source of value creation in an organization. However, knowledge is distributed asymmetrically in any firm. Distributed knowledge has to be integrated through knowledge transfer process and storing into knowledge repositories for future use. To start with knowledge transfer through social interaction, the Web based technology is a powerful means for communication between organizational members in order to transfer of knowledge regardless of their location. Such technology also allows for storage of the transferred knowledge. The importance of integrating storage of knowledge with knowledge transfer has been ignored in the knowledge transfer literature. Using the insights from the existing studies, this paper addresses an issue relating to the linkage of the knowledge transfer and the knowledge storage. The main contribution of this paper is the adoption of a holistic and integrated approach that supports the connectivity of knowledge transfer and storage through social and technological networks, when developing a framework for the successful accomplishment of knowledge transfer. This discussion is actually taken a first step towards developing some arguments about such interaction in order to broaden our understanding of the notion of knowledge transfer.

The present study investigates changes in both the sender's and the target's linguistic style across truthful and deceptive dyadic communication in a synchronous text-based setting. A computer-based analysis of 242 transcripts revealed that senders produced more words overall, decreased their use of self-oriented pronouns but increased other-oriented pronouns, and used more sense-based descriptions (e.g., seeing, touching) when lying than when telling the truth. In addition, motivated senders avoided causal terms during deception, while unmotivated senders relied more heavily on simple negations. Receivers used more words when being deceived, but they also asked more questions and used shorter sentences when being lied to than when being told the truth, especially when the sender was unmotivated. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for linguistic style matching and interpersonal deception theory.

Responsibility for realizing the benefits of IT investments and the success of these benefits is not just the responsibility of the IT organization. An IT project can be completed perfectly, on-time, and onbudget, and still fail to succeed and realize the intended business benefits that justified the initial investment. True IT benefits realization and investment return only occurs when Business Units and IT work as partners with shared knowledge, joint commitment, and shared accountability for the success or failure for the project. Benefits also occur when they are measured, calling for jointly agreed on measures of success that are actually demonstrated at the end of an IT project. These measures of value and impact can be in many forms. Often value manifests as intermediate impacts in the value chain. The IT literature contains a great deal of knowledge on IT-Business alignment and shared knowledge, but is “light” on shared commitment and accountability, especially when tied to the actual impact of this alignment (dependent variables). This mini-track extends the existing scholarly literature and fills the gap between the discussion of ITBusiness relationships and the actual demonstration of impact. We believe that this Mini-track continues the HICSS tradition of showcasing theoretically sound and ground-breaking research that reflects, interprets, and leads the realities of IT organizations as an integral part of businesses. As IT is held more responsible for organizational performance, we, as academic researchers, hope to show that the ITBusiness relationship is essential to achieving validated and meaningful investment performance.

The paper proposes a forward market for the hedging of loss-related risk within a Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) framework. The necessity for hedging losses arises from the volatility in the cost of marginal losses for electricity transactions, and from the surplus of loss-related revenues collected by the ISO under LMP. The hedging instruments proposed here, like FTRs for hedging congestion risk, simultaneously serve as a market-based mechanism for distributing the revenue surplus. The total loss hedging value for the entire market is shown to by the ISO. Formulas are derived for combined exactly equal the marginal loss related surplus collected by the ISO. Formulas are derived for combined congestion and loss hedging.

Although initially developed as low-threshold tools to publish on-line, weblogs increasingly appear to facilitate conversations. The objective of this study is to identify practices of conversational blogging. This paper presents results of an exploratory qualitative analysis of a weblog-mediated conversation case, focusing on participation rhythm, media choices and specific linking practices. Based on our findings we propose attributes of conversational blogging: linking as conversational glue, tangential conversations and interplays between conversation with self and conversations with others. Finally, future research directions are discussed.

This paper reports results from an exploratory study investigating the activity patterns of pair programming using a student project conducted over a period of nine weeks. We found that pair programming engaged in activities that lead to more deeper-level thinking which may enable people to formulate a more complete mental model of the task. We also compared the activity patterns between different pair combinations. We found that there are differences in the patterns among different pair combinations.

As Japan has become one of the fastest-aging societies in the world, it is important to improve the quality of our health maintenance management and preventive medical care to extend healthy life expectancy. We believe advanced implementation of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) may improve the medical services and health maintenance management. In this paper, we discuss the potentialities and expansibility of the XML Web Services based on the Adaptive Collaboration (AC) to improve the quality of the Japanese medical services. By examining the experimental pilot studies on the XML Web Services, we would like to present ways of improving health maintenance service and regional medical services. In order to realize better health maintenance and prevention of disease, we would like to prove that incorporating medicine, life, and work through the XML Web Services is highly effectiveness.

The concept of 'mobility' as it is conceptualized in mobile HCI is scrutinized in this paper. The currently applied understanding is often limited to perceiving mobility as corporeal and in spatial and temporal terms exclusively. While some have attempted to include contextual and social dimensions, their ways of approaching this issue seems problematic and in fact only continue a far-reaching separation between the physical and what is seen as the social or the subjective. These should however not be seen as disparate but rather as co-creators of what one perceives as 'reality'. The concept of involvement from phenomenology is introduced to discuss the possibilities of changing contexts to which use of mobile information technology gives rise. To conclude, we argue that mobile HCI needs to be thought of as designing for involvement in these diverse physio-social contexts, rather than as designing technology with a spatial and temporal location.

Managing product development activities as an explicit portfolio is crucial to the long-term success of product-oriented software companies. Portfolio management has been studied in the field of new product development for over two decades, but existing approaches transfer poorly to small software companies due to contextual differences. Based on new product development and software engineering literature and three company cases, this paper presents an approach for implementing portfolio management in small, product-oriented software companies, along with initial experiences. The approach integrates portfolio management basics such as strategic alignment, portfolio balancing and go/kill/hold decision-making with modern, time-paced software development processes for the small company context. Our findings suggest that using the proposed approach increases awareness of what projects and other development activities are underway, and how these are resourced. It also helps in making informed decisions and trade-offs when necessary.
