- In recent years the Swedish Police Force (SPF) have encountered greater demands on availability and 24/7 services when dealing with errands that are regarded as low priority compared to regular police work, e.g. collecting tips from the public. One attempt to meet these increasing demands was the development of a mobile communications platform that allowed the public to communicate easily with the SPF using their own mobile phones by sending SMS and MMS. The focus of this paper is on the early phases of development of this m-service, in particular, on the specific technical issues such as interoperability and standards used by the actors on the scene affecting the development of mobile information systems. The learning experiences are as follows: First, mobile communication platforms have a large potential for contributing to the field of emergency management information systems since they can be based on open and nationally accepted standards. Second, global and national standards for sending multimedia messages are not always truly standardized. Operators and mobile phone manufacturers make minor alterations and interpretations of the standard and thereby some of the benefits found in standards disappear. Third, when developing mobile information systems we suggest and recommend that the analysis phase should be enhanced compared to traditional system development, and it should address the interoperability between mobile phones on one hand and operators on the other hand.

Introducing e-Gov : history, definitions, and issues

- The e-Gov field (also called Electronic Government, Digital Government, Electronic Governance, and similar names) emerged in the late 1990´s. Since then it spurred several scientific conferences and journals. Because the field grew considerably in size, both its contents and position with respect to other research fields and disciplines need to be explained and discussed. What is e-Gov? What is e-Gov research? What does it mean for the field of Information Systems? This paper briefly sketches the short e-Gov history and current status, and discusses the content of the field as it appears in current research. We conclude with a discussion of e-Gov as a research field of interest both as a new application area for IS theories and methods and as a source of new insight.

- Virtual learning environments have in recent years become an important tool in higher education, in distance learning as well as on campus. This study analyzes factors influencing acceptance of virtual learning environments among academic staff and students in blended learning environments. Two research questions guided the study: (1) How do organizational and individual factors influence the acceptance of virtual learning environments among academic staff and students? (2) What are the implications for practice in order to create good prerequisites for acceptance of virtual learning environments? The study was performed as a comparative, explanatory case study at three universities providing master education of public health in Sweden, Norway and Lithuania. The findings of the case study showed that the contextual factor of culture was powerful in influencing acceptance of virtual learning environments, positively as well as negatively. High degrees of performance expectancy, results demonstrability and social influence affected acceptance of virtual learning environments positively. The degree of social influence was hypothesized to be transferred by the contextual factor of culture. The organizational culture of universities, expressed as shared values of what is good quality teaching and learning, were found to partly oppose values inherent in the virtual learning environment. Implications for practice are put forward, emphasizing culture as an important factor to consider in the implementation of virtual learning environments.

Escaping the computer-forensics certification maze : a survey of professional certifications

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With the proliferation of computer crime, the demand for computer-forensics experts continues to increase. Yet with so many computer-forensics certifications currently available, it is not an easy task for those outside the discipline to understand the differences among the various certifications. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of all the existing computer-forensics certifications for the benefits of non-computer- forensics practitioners. Twenty-six computer-forensics certifications offered by 17 different associations are described and compared based on criteria such as certification requirements and knowledge coverage. The paper is useful to three groups of readers: (1) individuals who want to join the computer-forensics profession; (2) academics who are responsible for curriculum development in computer forensics; and (3) top-level managers who want to recruit computer-forensics professionals.

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports on an ongoing case study of a mobile computing pilot project at Sweden's largest construction company, Skanska AB. The company has recognized the potential of a mobile computing platform based on the tablet computer user device for construction site management purposes. A global initiative within the company has started with the aim of improving information management and project communication at production site operations with the use of tablet computers. The paper portrays Skanska's ambition towards the creation of usefulness and benefit of the tablet platform for the mobile workforce in the initial development and implementation process.
