Future Publication Venues

1.      Information system research (ISR)

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.

2. European journal of information systems (EJIS)

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.

3. Information system frontiers

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.

4.      IEEE on RFID 2009

Having attended 2008 IEEE on RFID in Las Vegas, this year our lab will keep focusing on the 2009 International IEEE Conference on RFID. The conference addresses key topics and issues related to RF-based identification and communication systems, and will feature keynotes, presentations on technology advances and panel discussions on pressing topics. IEEE RFID 2009 is the third annual conference that brings together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to share research results and knowledge in the areas of RFID technologies, their supporting large-scale distributed information systems and their applications. Topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Antennas & Propagation: Antenna theory and designs, channel measurements and modeling
• Circuits, Devices & Sensors: Low-power circuit designs, integrated sensors, energy harvesting, non-silicon-based structures
• Communication Protocols: Coding, modulation and medium access schemes
• Security & Privacy: Cryptographic protocols and privacy-enhancing techniques
• System Tools: Tools for the design, deployment and evaluation of RFID systems
• RF-based Localization: Novel system approaches, technologies and algorithms
• RFID System Architecture: "RFID middleware", large-scale discovery services
• Policy & Regulatory Issues: Spectral management, privacy issues, co-existence of RFID systems, social implications of RFID technology
• Deployment Issues & Concerns: EMC compatibility, tag recycling, issues in patient safety
• Applications: Reports on the introduction and operational experience of RFID applications
