Abstract: Discrete event simulation is a widely established approach in research on supply chain structures. However, discrete event simulation is rarely used within the context of environmental sustainability. A conceptual framework is suggested to discuss the value of discrete event simulation in Green IS research. The content of the framework is based on a systematic literature review and the structure builds upon the belief-action-outcome model. The framework contains research issues for the use of discrete event simulation in Green IS research and illustrates the causal relations between organizational, social and physical structures, individual objects as well as the outcomes in their interaction. A methodological toolkit is included to provide a starting point for the development of suitable research methodologies within the field. Due to the interdisciplinary approach of this work, the framework may be restrictive in its view on information systems. Therefore, the results do not claim to be deterministic or constrictive. Scientists and practitioners are encouraged to enter the discourse on discrete event simulation to enhance Green IS research. Collapse

Abstract: Given the difficulties and criticality of information sharing in a multi-agency setting, this paper looks at the IT governance mechanisms used to promote information sharing via shared boundary objects in the disaster response and recovery process. A longitudinal, descriptive case study relates the experiences of a community of disaster recovery stakeholders from a coastal region as they work together to share digital geospatial data on the community’s physical utility infrastructure. Previous research is affirmed and extended in four empirically grounded research propositions addressing the nature of shared boundary objects, multi-agency governance, multi-agency performance metrics, and governance alignment. No exact governance configuration is deemed superior (except maybe avoidance of anarchy); however, there is a strong tendency not only to centralize, but also to retain localized control. Collapse
