IEEE, Celebrating125 Years of Engineering the Future
Co-Sponsor: IBM
Announcing a Call for Papers and Participation
The IEEE and IBM are hosting an international conference and workshop on the future of engineering education. The event will focus on preparing graduates who can meet the changing business climate, face rapid progress in technology, work across disciplines, and meet the expectations of clients, employers, and the public. As a result of working sessions planned for the conference we expect to offer a roadmap for academia, industry, and government on how to shape the future engineering curriculum, and how to incorporate in the curriculum technology-driven topics in law, business and social science.
The conference will be held in Dublin, Ireland on 6-9 April 2010. Participants will include decision and policy makers from industry, government, and academia. They will represent multiple disciplines including engineering and technology, law, social science, and business. We hope that results from the conference would assist the engineering education enterprise in becoming more cognizant and more responsive to the emerging needs of the market for engineering and technology services. In this context, we will also address the emergence of service-oriented businesses which are different in many aspects from the more traditional product-oriented businesses that were the core of engineering practice for more than a century.
Areas of Interest
The conference's topics of interest are devised to attract academics, industry practitioners and government experts. Papers are solicited but not limited to the following topics:
· Industry requirements for skills and competencies needed of graduating engineers – now, and looking forward 5-10 years.
· The impact of globalization on engineering practice and engineering education.
· The impact of progress in computing and networking on practice and education in engineering.
· How do we train engineers to work across disciplines?
· The role of IP laws that affect goods and services on training of engineers.
· The role of technology transfer and commercialization of research in Engineering Education.
· The effect of the emergence of service-oriented industries on engineers and other professionals.
· Teaching non-technical skills to engineers: interpersonal, written and oral communications; cross-cultural awareness; language skills; entrepreneurship; environmental and ethical concerns; leadership; legal and regulatory requirements; managing intellectual property.
· Review of existing academic programs that involve significant participation by faculty and students in engineering, business, law and related disciplines.
· Strategies for introducing and sustaining curricular reform in engineering.
· Strategies for introducing and sustaining cross-disciplinary academic programs.
· Providing graduating engineers with lifelong learning.

Introduction
The pace of change associated with the modern business world and recent developments in communication and information technologies highlights the importance of creativity and innovation.
Innovation plays an important role in the development of new business, process and products, therefore in the competitiveness and success of any organization.

Hi All,
I attach [below] the preliminary announcement for the International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM) to be held in Washington DC in May 2010. This conference should be of interest to anyone doing research on blogs, microblogs (e.g., twitter), and other social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, wikipedia, match, email, eBay, flickr, dopplr, etc.). Up until now social scientists have had only modest representation at the conference. But the organizers are very enthusiastic about including the perspectives offered by psychologists and other social scientists (that's why they invited me to co-chair the program committee). So I urge you to consider presenting your research at the ICWSM this year.
If you would like submit a paper or poster please note that the ICWSM uses the model common in the computer sciences where submissions are full papers (up to 8 pages), are subject to peer review, and, if accepted, are printed in full in the conference proceedings where they count as full publications.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best,
Sam Gosling, Ph.D.

Dear colleagues,
We are working on a meta-analysis on creative and innovative behavior in organizational settings at the individual level of analysis. We are focusing on organizational settings rather than experimental studies.
We would like to include your paper into our analysis if you have any unpublished or in-press quantitative studies that study relationships between creative and innovative behavior and its antecedents and consequences, e.g conflicts, fairness, leadership, motivation and personality.
If you have any such unpublished studies, we would highly appreciate if you can send it to us via email (simon.werther@campus.lmu.de). If you are uncertain as to whether your paper falls within the boundaries of this research, please feel free to email us the paper anyway.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance and support. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Felix and Simon
