E-Networks in an Increasingly Volatile World
The Eleventh International Workshop on Telework - Canada 2006
Call for papers and participation
www.unb.ca/conferences/enetworks
Following ten successful international workshops from 1996 to 2005, the International Telework Association (ITA) is pleased to announce that the University of New Brunswick (UNB) will host the eleventh event August 28–31, 2006 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Fredericton</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">New Brunswick</st1:state>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place>. The workshop takes place in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s first city to support a free urban wireless network and aims to generate interaction and the sharing of ideas among academic researchers and business practitioners around the development and maintenance of computer-mediated networks. Authors of select articles will be invited to submit their paper for publication in a forthcoming book.
The theme of the 2006 workshop is "E-Networks in an Increasingly Volatile World". The changing role of employment and government, the increasing rate of technological innovation and a growing concern for continuity through periods of large-scale interruptions resulting from natural, technological, and human-induced events are some of the factors behind a growing sense of uncertainty and social turbulence. A major challenge today is how individuals, organizations and regions can leverage human capital to collaborate through unprecedented and complex work/life-scenarios. This workshop looks specifically at examining work strategies that involve e-networks that contribute to greater preparedness. We currently invite papers in the following themes:
Special Streams for Workshop 2006
1) Mitigating risk via E-networks.
2) Creating public infrastructures that support E-networks
3) Work/life balance: The tangled web of work and home networks.
Standing E-Work Streams
1) Organizational Change (complexity, ambiguity, conflict)
2) E-Collaboration, Technological Innovations and Support (platforms, collaboration)
3) Workspace Design (facilities, virtual space)
4) HRM Practices (diversity, professional development, retention)
5) E-learning in the workplace (content, delivery)
6) Community/Regional Initiatives (job creation, community viability, public policy)
Submission Review Timetable
Deadline for extended abstract submissions: February 15, 2006
Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2006
Final papers due: June 15, 2006
Registration and payment by June 15, 2006
Paper abstracts available at WWW: July 31, 2006
The workshop encourages research that may be in progress with findings and conclusions yet to be determined. In light of this, we permit submission of extended abstracts for review by the technical committee. The abstract should deal with the main topic of the paper and should be between 1000 and 1500 words. Prepare your abstract according to the posted styleguide. The review process is double-blind, so please ensure that only the title is provided in the abstract. Abstracts will only be accepted as a Word file.
All submissions will be subject to a blind review process. Papers must be single-line spaced and use font style Arial (size 14 for title and authors and size 12 for body). All margins must be one inch (2.5cm). The final paper excluding the abstract, tables, diagrams and references must not exceed ten pages. Accuracy for all material supplied is the responsibility of the author. The text must be spell checked and any technical material must be clear. The workshop language is English.
