-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - Information Systems Frontiers Special Issue - COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS Datum: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 15:32:52 -0500 Von: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers - Information Systems Frontiers journal. SPECIAL ISSUE ON: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Computational Intelligence (CI) is an offshoot of artificial intelligence and has various tools such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, belief networks and chaos theory. Many hybrid models have also been proposed. Today, Computational Intelligence has emerged from the fusion of the fields of granular computing, neuro-computing and evolutionary computing and becomes one of the most active research areas and widely used techniques in information science and engineering. It has been claimed that computational intelligence is the way of the future computing. Historically, the areas of interest covered by computational intelligence are also known under the term soft computing. Computational intelligence research has become a vital part in the research of various fields like mathematics, physics, aerospace, biochemistry, stock-market, electronic devices and different other domains. It is widely recognized that research in this area will lead to the development of excellent intelligent systems in different domains. A survey on the growth analysis of an industry/organization also underpins the truth that CI approaches and optimization algorithms pave the way for effective design, and implementation of business applications and successful integration of business disciplines. The CI paradigms applied to big data analytics and business intelligence systems is receiving much attention in recently published journals and related reports. In addition, hybridization of CI techniques such as neuro fuzzy approaches, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, rough sets can be incorporated to handle uncertainty and subjective vagueness during decision making procedures. It is worth noting that the fusion of CI approaches and optimization techniques have not been adequately investigated from the perspective of big data analytics, and business intelligence. With this perspective, this special issue has been designed to bring the cutting-edge research in all aspects of computational intelligence and applications including experimental and theoretical research, applied techniques and real-world applications to the entire society to promote research, sharing and development. TOPICS: This special issue solicits the submission of high quality research papers concerning (but are not limited to) the following areas: . Computational intelligence, analytical modeling, and simulation for big data analytics . Computational intelligence in cloud based computing . Data analytical approaches using Computational Methods . Computational Methods in Context Aware Web Systems . Computational Methods in Language and Communication . Computational intelligence applications for Business Intelligence and decision making . Assistive Models of Web Services using Computational Methods . Brain Models and Cognitive Science . Self-healing, Self-configuring Systems . Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic and Applications . Evolutionary Computation . Computational intelligence systems in energy management, smart grids, mobile networks, internet of things, sensor networks, transportation systems, etc. . Computational models on Health Care . Hybrid Learning, Machine Learning Applications . Domain specific applications of Computational Intelligence We invite high quality research papers which neither have been published previously nor under consideration currently for publication in any other journal or conference. Survey papers with superior quality are also invited in this area. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION Paper submissions must conform to the format guidelines of Information Systems Frontiers available at: http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: IT Consulting as a Change Agent (AMCIS 2016) Datum: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 11:28:47 +0100 Von: Andreas Drechsler <andreas.drechsler(a)icb.uni-due.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --- 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) --- --- San Diego, August 11-13, 2016 - http://amcis2016.aisnet.org --- Conference Theme: Surfing the IT Innovation Wave Track: End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIG-OSRA) Mini-track: IT Consulting as a Change Agent Over the past few decades, the influence of the IT consulting industry on the use and the management of IT in enterprises has increased dramatically. Many enterprises rely on IT consulting services, and IT consultants often act as change agents for their clients. They are assigned to analyze, propose, and implement IT innovations, they serve as an HR outsourcing partner for the IT department, and with many of their projects they aim to change the client’s socio-technical configuration. IT consultants can also serve as facilitators to transfer IS research outcomes to actual organizational and IT changes in practice and can thus contribute to the relevance of IS research. But despite the prevalence of IT consulting projects in practice, research has not covered IT consulting very intensively. Simultaneously, IT consulting plays a big role in "surfing the IT innovation wave" in the sense of the conference theme. Several challenges are specific to the IT consulting industry: Existing methods used in different IS fields (such as process management, enterprise architecture analysis, etc.) have to be adopted to fit the efficiency constraints in consulting projects, methods may need to be tailored to fit existing consulting products; and consulting companies are one of the drivers for fashion waves in the IT industry. This mini-track aims to provide a forum for IT consulting research in the IS discipline. Topics relevant to this mini-track may include but are not limited to: - IT consulting from a consulting research perspective - IT consulting from a service science perspective - IT consulting from a management perspective - Theoretical foundations of IT consulting research - IT consultants as change agents - HR-related issues in IT consulting - The relationship between IT consulting and strategy consulting - Methods, method developing and method adoption in IT consulting - IT consulting as HR outsourcing for the IT department - Virtual IT consulting / telepresence in IT consulting - Micro-tasking in IT consulting - Knowledge management in IT consulting firms - Education and training of IT consultants (skills & competencies, job profiles, education topics, and teaching experiences) - The use of IT in IT consulting companies - The organization of internal consulting departments - IT consultants as enterprise engineers (e.g. enterprise architecture from a consultant’s perspective) - Business processes of IT consulting companies - The potentials and limitations of research transfer in cooperation with IT consulting companies. Papers must be submitted through the conference website: http://amcis2016.aisnet.org/ and are subject to double-blind peer review. Papers can be submitted as full papers (max. 10 pages, about 5,000 words) or Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers (max. 5 pages, about 2,500 words). The former are to be presented in traditional sessions, while the latter will be presented in an innovative format that includes a slam presentation session during the program as well as a poster. Each ERF slam presentation is limited to 3 minutes. Important dates: - January 4, 2016: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 begin - March 2, 2016 10am PST: Deadline for AMCIS manuscript submissions Minitrack Co-chairs: - Andreas Drechsler, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany - Paul Drews, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany -- Dr. Andreas Drechsler Information Systems and Strategic IT Management University of Duisburg-Essen Universitätsstraße 9 45141 Essen Germany Web: www.sitm.wiwi.uni-due.de _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Innovation in HCI may be seen as mainly incremental, introducing small changes in existing systems and services. Design thinking, to the contrary, has been recognized as an important driver of innovation in business, education, health, and other important domains. As both HCI and design thinking are seen as representing user-centred perspectives, we are interested in lessons that could be learned from design thinking and whether they could help move the innovation in HCI to a more central position, and beyond just small changes. Many similarities, and differences, can be found between design thinking and HCI design approach to innovation. Key to design thinking is the capacity to generate and explore design alternatives through user research, ideation, rapid iteration on multiple alternatives, combining parts from different design proposals, and evaluating with users. This problem-solving procedure may be applied to the design of anything from designing organizational changes, to designing products, services or systems. HCI design processes, on the other hand, typically involve analytical, requirements-driven approaches. HCI design processes may also be more limited in scope, e.g. as they rarely aim at bringing about organizational changes. HCI design processes have been described as ‘finding the right solution to the given problem’, as opposed to the design thinking that seeks to solve the right problem, by questioning the framing of the problem and opening the design space. We acknowledge that within HCI, and in particular within participatory design, there is a long tradition of work with issues along practical-political and theoretical-conceptual lines that correspond to those of design thinking. Thus, in conclusion, this special issue aims to explore these differences and similarities in relation to innovation. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interests* ----------------------------------------------------------- We welcome all papers discussing innovation in HCI, from diverse points of view and from diverse research areas. The papers can explore, but are not limited to, any of the following topics: • HCI, design thinking and innovation towards sustainable future • HCI and social innovation • Design thinking, HCI and service innovation • Design thinking, HCI and values • HCI innovations transfer to products in use • Design thinking in HCI education (or vice versa) • The role of multidisciplinary teams in innovation • Participatory design, design thinking and re-infrastructuring • Innovation and decision-making processes • Living labs and design thinking / //KEYWORDS:/ Innovation; design thinking; radical innovation; incremental innovation; design driven innovation. =========================================== Submission procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format.

Increasing population and density have been generating many issues in cities across countries. The proper managerial planning is required to ensure well directed growth. Not only perfect infrastructure is warranted, but a good planning for the growth is important. Billions of people have been migrating towards cities in many countries which leads to the growth of urban population. World bank predicts voluminous rise in 2050 with is expected to be 75%. The question is the understanding of how sustainable cities should grow. Real time data observation and collection with analysis would lead to produce new design and planning. Young researchers have potential for such comprehensive real time data gathering and analysis. This workshop is primarily intended to encourage young researchers to collect live data across cities which can enable to form smart cities for the near future. The themes include but not necessarily limited to- Modern infrastructure for cities(roads, power plants, water treatment plants, sewage systems, transit systems) Energy Efficiency including non-conventional energy management Green Environment including E-Waste Management, Hospital Management etc Smart Grid E-Governance Electro-mobility Smart cities and market place Digital Technologies for standard living Energy Networks City Science Mobility Networks Smart Governance Students and young researches are encourage to send the submissions by email to pichappan(a)dirf.org Students will be provided with free registration Budget accommodation is available for students Other authors need to pay a registration fee of $ 400 Chair Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Lab, India and UK Co-Chairs Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Luiz Moutinho, University of Glasgow, Scotland Important Dates Paper Submission: December 15, 2015 Notification: December 25, 2015 Camera Ready: January 10, 2016 Workshop Date: January 22, 2016 Journal Revised version: February 25, 2016 Journal Publication Extended versions of the papers will be considered for journal publications.
