Abstract
Demand‐orientation is of crucial importance in mobile and pervasive information services in order to ensure the delivery of the right information at the right time and at the right place. In the past years, increasing attention has been devoted to the notion of personalized services that take the situation of the user into account. The trade‐off is to ensure appropriate information supply while preventing information overload. Comparing situations predicted by the system with the expectations of a user yields information about “so‐farunexpected” changes the user should be informed about. This paper describes an approach to identify and to resolve these knowledge discrepancies by informing the user about them in order to support his or her situation‐awareness. Our approach is illustrated in two applications.

Abstract
Emotionally intelligent leadership (EIL) theory combines relevant models, theories, and research in the areas of emotional intelligence (EI) and leadership. With an intentional focus on context, self and others, emotionally intelligent leaders facilitate the attainment of desired outcomes. The 21 capacities described by the theory equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics to achieve desired results. The purpose of this article is to propose an integrative, process-oriented EIL theory to provide a framework for conceptualizing and integrating future research and practice. The authors review and organize research and theory in emotional intelligence and leadership within the context of higher education, introduce the EIL model, and provide suggestions for future research. The article concludes with practical implications for leadership development in the context of higher education.

Abstract
The authors describe an exploratory analytical tool called The 5Ps Leadership Analysis (Personal Attributes, Position, Purpose, Practices/Processes, and Product) as a heuristic for better understanding the complexities of leadership. Using The 5Ps Leadership Analysis, the authors explore the leadership of General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and General George B. McClellan of the Union Army of the Potomac—more specifically, the leadership of the two generals on September 17, 1862 during the Battle of Antietam. The paper concludes with suggestions for application in the classroom.
