As a new Phd student, I think I may borrow some information from the senior students in my RFID lab. My possible future publication places conferences/journal include: Information Systems Research, The European Journal of Information Systems, Information Systems Frontiers, Operations Research, IEEE RFID and ACM.
Information Systems Research is a journal of INFORMS, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. Information Systems Research is a leading international journal of theory, research, and intellectual development, focused on information systems in organizations, institutions, the economy, and society. ISR has been constantly improving the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) impact factor score and is considered on e of the best journal in IS community.
The European Journal of Information Systems provides a distinctive European perspective on the theory and practice of information systems for a global audience. This journal encourages first rate research articles by academics, but also case studies and reflective articles by practitioners. It provides a critical view on technology, development, implementation, strategy, management and policy. The impact factor for EJIS is pretty high, although not as decent as ISR. Recently, EJIS has a special issue for RFID - Managing RFID Projects in Organizations. The theme of the special issue will be to discover the challenges faced by organizations in execution of RFID projects. It will address every aspect of RFID project management starting from requirements analysis, to implementation, and maintenance. This is quite relevant to the research in our RFID lab.
Information Systems Frontiers examines new research and development at the interface of information systems (IS) and information technology (IT) from analytical, behavioral, and technological perspectives. It provides a common forum for both frontline industrial developments as well as pioneering academic research. The journal's multidisciplinary approach draws from such fields as computer science, telecommunications, operations research, economics, and cognitive sciences. Among the emerging areas covered are enterprise modeling and integration, object/web technologies, information economics, IT integrated manufacturing, medical informatics, digital libraries, mobile computing, and electronic commerce. Both the Editorial Advisory Group and the Editorial Board feature outstanding individuals from academia and industry, ensuring that all the multiple frontiers in the IS/IT field are covered.
Operations Research (OR) is the flagship journal for operations research community. I try to publish papers on the two fields: i) methods and principles on data based operational systems; ii) observations and modeling of operating systems. The operational systems in my end include tracking systems, SCM (supply chain managment) systems.
As I mentioned in the previous blog, IEEE RFID 2009 addresses key topics and issues related to RFID technologies, their supporting distributed information systems and their applications. I got a paper accepted in IEEE RFID 2008. IEEE RFID 2009 is the third annual one. For the areas it features, I am interested in the followings: i) RFID Communication Protocols, including Coding, modulation and medium access schemes; ii) RFID Location Sensing, including novel system approaches, technologies and algorithms; iii) RFID security and privacy, including cryptographic protocols and privacy-enhancing techniques. The deadline of RFID 2009 is December 5, 2008, and the conference will be held in Orlando this year.
ACM SIGKDD: SIGKDD is the famous conference in knowledge discovery and data mining. I hope I can come out some papers on the two aspects on data mining: i) RFID data processing; ii) Optimizing supply chain using data mining technologies.
