NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference
October 9-10, 2006
Crowne Plaza Berlin City Centre, Berlin, Germany
Submission Deadline: June 1, 2006
We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference 2006 in Berlin.
The conference theme of this year is: "Human behavior in economic decisions – perspectives of marketing, behavioral finance, and organizational decision making." Manuscripts should combine concepts from psychology and/or neurology with issues and problems in economics. Topics may include (but are not restricted to:
- Evaluation of the state of the field: Application of insights and methods from psychology and neurology in solving economic problems (e. g. in marketing, finance, organizational behavior, management, decision science, game theory)
- Analysis of human behavior in economic decisions with the means of psychology or neurology
- Analysis of the relevance of cultural values in economics with the means of psychology or neurology
- Analysis of interpersonal behavior (e. g. in customer-supplier, supervisor-subordinate, investor-firm relationships) with the means of psychology or neurology
- Discussion of ethical and legal issues at the interface of economics, psychology and neurology
Papers passing the double-blind review process will be accepted for presentation at the conference and an extended abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. Some of best papers will additionally be published in the journal NeuroPsychoEconomics (ISSN 1861-4523).
For more information, please visit our website at http://www.neuropsychoeconomics.org.
We hope to see you at the conference!

HICSS conferences are devoted to advances in the information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and practice. Papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Submissions undergo a double-blind peer referee process and those selected for presentation will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Additional detail may be found on HICSS primary web site: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu
Mirror site: http://www.is.cityu.edu.hk/hicss/
This mini-track addresses issues related to anticipating, detecting, mitigating and preventing computer-based threats and attacks. The pervasiveness of computer networks in our economic system has increased our vulnerability. In response, organizations have increased the attention paid to computer-based threats to their information, systems, and processes. Governments have also recognized information security as a critical component of our national and international infrastructures, as well as its integral role for financial reporting and regulation. These constituencies are combining technical, managerial, forensics, regulation, law enforcement, and social engineering to combat a difficult and growing problem. In addition, there has been increasing concern about emergent risks that occur because of computer-enabled automation. These risks represent changes to the likelihood of operational failure from intentional changes in operations, and may result in malicious attack or inadvertent disruption. An additional perspective is the trend toward eRemote and eOperations, implying that compromises of information security might threaten Health, Safety and Environment.
There is a need to develop and share research about this work: What are organizations doing, what are they not doing, what are the results, and why these outcomes occur. This mini-track follows a successful mini-track program at HICSS-39, and it provides IS/IT researchers a collaborative forum to share their research and insights. We hope to attract scholars from a wide set of disciplines to build theory, exchange insights, and improve research techniques.
Papers that address improving the security, reliability or survivability of computer-reliant organizations from these threats through technical or behavioral change are encouraged. Applications of simulation studies, case-based research, and other quantitative and qualitative methods are welcome.
Some possible topics include, but are not limited to:
· Attack prevention, detection and response
· Analysis of vulnerabilities
· Compliance with security measures
· Identifying modes of misuse
· Applications of access policies
· Managerial and financial aspects of cyber-attacks
· Analysis of known and unknown modes of attack
· Separating anomalous from routine behavior
· Adapting outsider-based threat prevention to insider risks
· Modeling risks and approaches to mitigation, reliability, survivability and business continuity
· Teaching and training security and business managers about the risks of cyber-threats to their organization
· Threats to Health, Safety and Environment in eRemote/eOperations

I am a PhD student trying to create a list for a reading and comprehensive exam area on Technology and Innovation Management. I am looking for syllabi from PhD seminars or comprehensive exam reading lists to use as examples. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who has one/some could send them my way.
Thanks,
Kathryn Aten
