-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: "Managing ICT4D Field Research in the Developing World" Minitrack - AMCIS 2016 Datum: Sat, 14 Nov 2015 15:38:16 +0000 Von: Potnis, Devendra Dilip <dpotnis(a)utk.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems "Managing ICT4D Field Research in the Developing World: Challenges, Opportunities, & Innovative Solutions" Minitrack - ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Track NOTE: Authors of best papers in the ICTs in Global Development track will be invited to submit revised versions for fast-track review and possible publication in the journal Information Technology for Development (ITD) - http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/titd20/current DESCRIPTION A large number of ICT for development (ICT4D) projects cannot meet their objectives. One cause of the failures of ICT4D projects is related to the shortcomings in field research, an integral part of ICT4D projects. Field research primarily involves data collection, and often attempts to understand someone else's experience. The high failure rates of ICT4D projects call for fundamentally new ways to tackle the challenges experienced by researchers and practitioners when planning and conducting ICT4D field research. This mini-track invites researchers and practitioners to share and analyze their success stories, failures, mistakes, and advice, which would gather momentum for a global discussion on better managing ICT4D field research, furthering the larger goal of socioeconomic and human development of marginalized communities across the developing world. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to: * Factors influencing the planning, implementation, and reporting of ICT4D field research * Data collection challenges in the developing world: A multi-stakeholder perspective * Innovative process-based and technology-driven solutions to capture, store, and process different types of textual, numeric, audiovisual, and tactile data * Open data, big data, and real-time data for conducting ICT4D field research * Issues related to data security, privacy, ethics, copyrights, and intellectual property * What can ICT4D field research in the developing and developed world learn from each other? * Applications of established theoretical frameworks and perspectives from multiple disciplines like anthropology, HCI, computer science, information science, MIS, etc. for managing ICT4D field research * Managing the scope, time, cost, quality, HR, communication, and risks related to ICT4D field research * Ways to develop the skills and knowledge needed to conduct ICT4D field research * Dynamic inter-relationship between contextual factors (e.g., policy frameworks, environmental conditions, culture, etc.), research methods, and local assistants in ICT4D field research * Applications of emerging technologies like NFC, M&E tools, SMAC, etc. to manage ICT4D field research IMPORTANT DATE March 2, 2016 (10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time): Deadline for paper submissions INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline Special Issues on the Conceptualization of Development in ICT4D in the Journal ITD
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Nov '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Extended Deadline Special Issues on the Conceptualization of Development in ICT4D in the Journal ITD Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:08:42 +0000 Von: Mathias Hatakka <Mathias.Hatakka(a)oru.se> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The submission deadline for the special issues on the "Conceptualization of Development in ICT4D” in the Journal of Information Technology for Development (ITD) has been extended to January 30th 2016. The special issue seeks to solicit research that investigates the various ways in which development has been viewed in ICT4D, ideas on how it should be viewed, discussions of how and why the notion of development is changing, and epistemological questions of how we can measure and evaluate how and when development is taking place. In particular we look for papers that 1) explicitly theorise the concept of development, and 2) cross-disciplinary work, i.e. studies that are actively drawing from other disciplines. We invite papers on the following sub-topics: 1. How do we define development in ICT4D? What assumptions underpin a particular definition of development? On which conceptual basis is a definition of development constructed? 2. How can we assess, measure, and evaluate development in a particular context of ICT4D? This could include critical discussion of various development indexes, such as Gross Domestic Product, the Human Development Index, the Happiness Index, and so on. 3. What should ICT-based development interventions focus on? This could be analysed in the light of which “space” of development is being addressed. For example, in relation to gender, are we seeking to promote equal access to technology between men and women, or to enhance the agency of women? 4. Which social processes are enacted in a particular space of ICT4D? How do we understand and assess the affordances of ICTs in these processes? 5. What are the roles of institutions and governance models in ICT4D? For example, how should responsibility and liability for development be distributed and managed? 6. How can we understand, describe, and evaluate the relations between the use of ICTs and development? What could be the impact of technology for development, including positive as well as negative influences? 7. What are the strengths and limitations of various conceptual devices and theoretical lenses? What do the lenses we use allow us to see? And what are the lenses we use filtering out? 8. Which methodologies are appropriate in answering our research questions, given a particular take on development? 9. What can we learn from other disciplines, e.g. geography, development studies, economics, political science, organisation studies, media and communication studies? 10. What critical approaches could be employed in ICT4D, in particular considering processes and consequences of globalization and the growth of market economies?

Fwd: [WI] IEEE CIG 2016 Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] IEEE CIG 2016 Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 10:33:23 +0200 Von: cig-publicity(a)image.ntua.gr [Apologies for cross-postings] IEEE Computational Intelligence and Games Conference 2016 20-24 September, 2016, Santorini Island, Greece http://cig16.image.ntua.gr/ Description ----------- Computer games not only offer a killer application for computational intelligence (CI), machine learning and search but also provide a compelling domain where problem solving and decision making meet artifact creation; both of which can be experienced via a highly immersive, complex and rich interaction. Additionally, methods from computational intelligence promise to have a big impact on game technology and development, assisting designers and developers and enabling new types of computer games. The Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG) conference series brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in this field. The annual IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (IEEE CIG) is one of the premier international conferences in the field of computational intelligence and games. Topics ------ The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Learning in games - Neural-based approaches for games - Co-evolution in games - Fuzzy-based approaches for games - Tree search approaches for games - Player/Opponent modeling - CI/AI-based game design - CI/AI-assisted game design - CI for player affective modeling - Player experience - Procedural content generation - CI/AI for game generation - Intelligent interactive narrative - Character development and narrative - CI/AI for virtual cinematography - CI for non-player characters - Multi-agent and multi-strategy learning - Applications of game theory - General game playing - Theoretical or empirical analysis of CI techniques for games - Comparative studies and game-based benchmarking - Computational and artificial intelligence in (non-inclusively): - Console and PC games - Board and card games - Economic or mathematical games - Serious games - Realistic games for simulation or training - Augmented and mixed-reality games - Games for mobile platforms - Imperfect information and non-deterministic games - Evolutionary games In addition to regular oral and poster presentations, the conference will include a full program of special sessions, tutorials, workshops, and panel sessions together with keynote talks. Tutorials --------- Proposals for tutorials should be submitted by March 1, 2016. The proposal should contain a one-page outline of the tutorial, the format of presentation, a short resume of the presenter(s), and any prerequisites for the intended audience. Tutorials are typically a two-hour session. Special Sessions ---------------- Proposals for special sessions should be submitted by *March 1, 2016*. Each proposal should give a half page description of the session topic, short biographical information about the organizers, names of potential contributors and estimated number of submissions. Papers submitted to special sessions will go through the normal reviewing process. Panels ------ Panel proposals should be submitted by March 1, 2016 and should be in the form of a 2-page extended abstract describing the focus of the panel, providing a list of confirmed speakers, and indicating their areas of expertise relative to the topic. We encourage both debate-style panels that include representatives advocating several positions on a topic of disagreement, and emerging-area style panels that consolidate and explain recent work on a subject of interest to the CIG community. Paper submission types ---------------------- All paper submissions should follow the recommended IEEE conference manuscript format: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Full papers Full papers should be submitted by April 15, 2016. Full papers have an 8 page limit, and should constitute a technical or empirical contribution to CI/AI in games and be accompanied by an appropriate evaluation of the work. In addition to regular paper submissions the conference offers three alternative types of paper submission: competition, vision and demo papers. Competition papers These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) that describe one or more entries to the competitions that are running at this year's CIG. Competition papers need to include evaluation of the contribution, including (if possible) results on the same benchmark as that used by the competition, and comparison to other competition entries. Because the problem domain is well-known, these papers can be reviewed faster than regular papers. The same quality standards will apply to competition papers as to regular papers. Competition papers should be submitted by May 31, 2016. Vision papers These are regular papers (up to 8 pages) describing a vision for the future of the field of computational intelligence and games or some part of it. These papers need to be based on existing literature, be well-written and well argued. In cases where a paper describes a particular technique or domain, the paper should include a survey of that field; all papers should include extensive bibliographies. Papers should not revolve around any particular set of experiments, and need not contain any new empirical results, but are encouraged to outline ambitious future work. The quality standards applied to vision papers are at least as high as for other conference papers. Vision papers should be submitted by May 31, 2016. Demos Demo submissions should be in the form of a 2-page extended abstract. The submission needs to accompany a demonstration of CI in games. The demo event of IEEE CIG 2016 will showcase the latest CI/AI tools, techniques, and systems created for games by academic or industrial research groups. Demos should be submitted by May 31, 2016. Important Dates --------------- March 1, 2016: Tutorials/Panels/Special Sessions proposals March 15, 2016: Notification of Tutorials/Panels/Special Sessions acceptance April 15, 2016: Paper submission May 15, 2016: Notification of paper acceptance May 31, 2016: Competition/Vision/Demo submission deadline *June 15, 2016: Camera-ready paper submission deadline* July 1, 2016: Early bird (and author) registration deadline *September 20, 2016: IEEE CIG conference kick-off -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers: 12th International Conference on Open Source Systems Gothenburg, Sweden, 30 May - 02 June 2016 Datum: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 22:43:57 +0000 Von: Kevin G Crowston <crowston(a)syr.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, OCISNET(a)AOMLISTS.PACE.EDU <ocisnet(a)aomlists.pace.edu>, ifipwg82(a)listserv.syr.edu <ifipwg82(a)listserv.syr.edu> The 12th International Conference on Open Source Systems Gothenburg, Sweden, 30 May - 02 June 2016 Scope of OSS 2016 Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) has had a disruptive effect on the software industry and the ways that organizations and individuals create, distribute, acquire and use software and software-based services. The FLOSS movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as the emergence of new business models, knowledge exchange mechanisms, and collective development approaches. On the other hand, the movement has introduced new kinds of challenges, especially as different problem domains embrace openness as a pervasive problem solving strategy. FLOSS can be complex yet widespread and often cross-cultural. Consequently, they require an interdisciplinary understanding of their technical, economic, legal and socio-cultural dynamics. Many organizations that have been known for developing proprietary software are now actively involved with FLOSS. FLOSS adoption continues to grow among businesses, governments, and other organizations. FLOSS remains important for educators and researchers, as well as an important aspect of e-government and information society initiatives, providing access to high-quality software and the code used to create it. The goal of 12th International Conference on Open Source Systems, OSS 2016 is to provide an international forum where a diverse community of professionals from academia, industry and public sector, and diverse FLOSS initiatives can come together to share research findings and practical experiences. The conference is also a forum to provide information and education to practitioners, identify directions for further research, and to be an ongoing platform for technology transfer, no matter which form of FLOSS is being pursued. The major conference theme this year is "integrating communities". OSS 2016 accepts submissions in the following categories: research papers, industry papers, formal tool demonstrations, and posters. The page limit is 12 for full papers, 6 for short papers, industry papers, and tool demonstrations, and 2 for poster submissions. To allow for more complete and fully formatted reference lists, bibliographic references do not count toward the page limit. OSS 2016 also invites proposals for tutorials and workshops, submissions to the doctoral consortium, and submissions of panels. More information on submission guidelines is available on the conference web site: http://www.oss2016.org. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, which are published by Springer. Topics of Interest Integrating communities * Challenges of building and maintaining open source communities * Organization and interaction schemes in open source communities * Models and classification schemes of communities * Mining data from open source communities * Experience reports and lessons about integrating communities FLOSS as innovation * Adoption / use / acceptance of FLOSS * Publishing / dissemination / redistribution of FLOSS systems * Expanding scientific research and technology development methods through openness * Adopting innovation in FLOSS projects FLOSS practices and methods * FLOSS and traditional / agile development methods * FLOSS and decentralized development * Knowledge and documentation management in FLOSS FLOSS technologies and applications * Security of FLOSS * Interoperability / portability / scalability of FLOSS * Open standards / open data / open cloud / open hardware * Reuse in FLOSS * Architecture and design of FLOSS * FLOSS for entertainment * FLOSS for education * FLOSS in the public sector Economic / organizational / social issues of FLOSS * Economic analysis of FLOSS * Business models for FLOSS * Maturity models for FLOSS * FLOSS intellectual property, copyrights and licensing * Non-Governmental Organizations and FLOSS Important Dates (Deadlines) Submissions due: January 4, 2016 Workshop proposals: January 4, 2016 Panels and tutorials proposals: February 22, 2016 Results to authors: February 15, 2016 Camera-ready copy due: March 07, 2016 Early registration: February 29, 2016 Submission Upload contributions in PDF format at http://oss2016.org.

The well-known options include: Scratch, Alice, Greenfoot, AgentSheets, FLIP and various derivatives of Scratch (e.g. Snap!/BYOB, App Inventor, Blockly, FlashBlocks), derivatives of Blockly (e.g. Code.org, WonderWorkshop, Blockly Games, etc.), and various other approaches, including executable flowchart environments (e.g. LARP). Topics include but are not limited to: • Are colored block-based languages more effective than other approaches? • What are the lesser known but effective language and environment options? • Which features of current languages and environments help the student and which ones hinder them? • Are environments that allow online collaboration and sharing with fellow learners from afar, better or not than collaboration with peers in the immediate classroom? • Are teams, even in pairs, effective or disruptive to getting all learners to understand coding concepts? • What data can be harvested from the coding environment, and how can it be used as feedback: to identify students facing conceptual difficulties, to improve coding exercises, and mentoring? • Is learning to code enhanced when done in conjunction with robotics? • How motivational is it to have a coding environment for apps that can be distributed to a large audience? E.g. App Inventor for Android. • Is the quest to transition the new coder from a blocks-based language, to a conventional script language (e.g. Python, JavaScript) - all within the coding environment and the lessons - useful in teaching all potential learners, or simply a filter to identify future programming talent? • When and how it useful to introduce other skills into a team project (e.g. art and design of graphic and video content), allowing individual students to build on existing strengths and weaknesses? • How can the current crop of code learning environments and languages, be improved upon? We are interested in submissions from educators, facilitators and researchers with experience in the new coding environments, that delve into any of the above topics, and others that are closely related.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ACM SIGMIS CPR 2016 - June 2-4 in Washington D.C. Deadline Approaching: Nov. 19, 2016 Datum: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 08:55:11 +0000 Von: Laumer, Sven <sven.laumer(a)uni-bamberg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The CPR 2016 conference committee has been busy making exciting plans for our time in Washington, D.C.! Although we have already received some excellent submissions for next year’s conference, we have also received several requests for an extension. Additionally, we wish to allow time for student chapters and other contributors to submit their works for the student research competition, posters and demo sessions and industry case studies. With these goals in mind, we are pleased to announce that we will continue accepting paper submissions through November 19, 2015. Please see the revised Call for Papers below. ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research 2016 Organizational and Social Movements enabled by Information Technology Location: Washington, D.C., USA June 2-4, 2016 Conference website: http://www.sigmis.org/sigcpr2016<http://www.sigmis.org/sigcpr2015> Submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpr2016 IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission November 19, 2015 Notification of acceptance January 11, 2016 Camera-ready papers March 25, 2016 For over 50 years, ACM SIGMIS CPR has engaged the academic and practitioner communities in understanding issues pertaining to the Information Technology (IT) workforce, including supply of IT professionals, demand for their skills and talents, and their readiness for the workplace. We are delighted to welcome the 2016 ACM SIGMIS CPR conference to be held in Washington, D.C., from June 2-4, 2016. As in prior years, ACM SIGMIS CPR 2016 welcomes research and practice submissions that address issues congruent with traditional topics related to computers and people research. These topics include, but are not limited to: * IT knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the 21st century workplace * Career development practices of IT professionals * IT work satisfaction, commitment and staff turnover * IT job roles and profiles * Outsourcing and offshoring IT work * Cross-cultural collaboration in global IT work and virtual teams * Impact of IT mobilization on the IT workforce and users skills . * IT in civil right protests and movements * IT in educational outreach * The roles of culture (organizational, occupational or societal) in IT and IT work * Diversity issues in the development, attraction and retention of IT professionals * Impact of the global recession on new models for the recruitment and retention of the IT labor force * IT staffing models and skills shortages * IS curriculum issues and trends * Ethical and security issues in IT use * Replications of prior SIGMIS CPR studies * IT in emergency/crisis management * IT in political/social movements * The impact of social media on traditional media coverage of national events 2016 Conference In addition to our traditional focus on issues pertaining to the IT workforce, this year’s conference includes a special theme aiming to consider how theory and research can help to identify, evaluate and implement organizational and social movements that are enabled by IT. Increasingly, smartphones and mobile commerce are changing our buying and consumer behaviors; wearable fitness trackers are making us more health conscious; social media and social networks are shifting the ways humans interact and collaborate together; start-ups are revamping business models by utilizing digital connections to fuel a sharing economy; and IT transformations are being used to address concerns of health, education and civic engagement. IT can empower organizations and communities to improve the world around them through positive connection, interaction, and presence. In addition, the way that we engage, understand and communicate around major events in communities, on the national landscape, and in the media has solidified a legitimate role for technology for years to come. We invite studies of organizational and social movements enabled by IT (actual or potential, intended or unintended, positive, negative or perverse). Given the interdisciplinary nature of the theme, we encourage submissions from multiple levels of analysis (individual, team, organization, and social) from a variety of perspectives (business management, information technology, systems, and sciences, computer science, economics, sociology, psychology, etc.). Suggested topics include: * Organizational workforce movements enabled by IT: Reduction in the number of tedious office tasks or efficiency improvements, changes in managerial, diplomatic, decision-making, and social skills requirements, changes between the relationship with employees and customers, etc. * Organizational structure movements enabled by IT: Increases in market competition and uncertainty, external politics and legislative reform, IT for advertising, fundraising and viral campaigns, restructuring departments, modifying position requirements or adding and removing jobs, operations offsets in cost, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, etc. * Social movements (reform and radical) enabled by IT: Changing laws or norms, hacktivist tactics, increasing workers rights, civil rights, global online protests, effecting change and influence on political institutions, green movements, etc. * Organizational and social movement enabled by IT case studies: Uber, AirBnB, MoveOn.org, the tea party, Occupy Wall Street movement, Arab spring, etc. Doctoral Consortium A doctoral consortium will take place on the day prior to the conference. This doctoral consortium is targeted for students who are at an early stage of writing their dissertation proposal (typically in the 2nd or 3rd year in a doctoral program), and who are conducting research on a CPR topic. The purpose of the consortium is two-fold: 1) provide feedback and guidance to students on their proposal while at a stage where feedback can be considered for future dissertation work, and 2) provide mentoring and networking opportunities to students who wish to pursue careers as CPR researchers. Doctoral students must be nominated to the consortium by a faculty sponsor. Students nominated for the consortium should submit a 10-page research proposal (including all text, figures, and references) to be reviewed by a panel of highly qualified senior faculty mentors. The 3-5 students selected to participate in the doctoral consortium will receive two rounds of written feedback on their proposal. A t the conference, each student will have 40-60 minutes to present their research ideas and receive feedback in-person from six-to-eight experienced CPR researchers. Grants will be available to assist with travel and registration fees. Student Research Competition Students’ posters and demo submissions will be entered into the ACM Student Research Competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (December 2015), and be the only student working on the project. While not mandatory, entrants are encouraged to submit a letter from their advisor describing the specific contributions made by the student. High School, Undergraduate and Graduate students will be treated in separate divisions (students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates). Poster Session Posters/demo sessions provide an opportunity to showcase work-in-progress in an informal setting. We strongly encourage practitioners and industry experts, and doctoral, masters, undergraduate, community college and high school research student submissions. The poster / demo session will be given wide visibility and opportunities for interaction during the conference. The SIGMIS CPR 2016 Poster and Demo committee will review all posters and demo proposals (see Format of Submissions). Authors of accepted posters must present at the conference and have a printed version of the abstract or poster to handout to attendees. A poster is A0 paper size in portrait mode (841 × 1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel/important about the work. Format of Submissions ACM SIGMIS CPR 2016 welcomes completed research papers, research-in-progress papers, industry case studies, or proposals for panel discussions or tutorials. All papers must be original, unpublished elsewhere, and submitted on the ACM SIG proceedings template available for download from https://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. All reviewing will be double-blind. ● Completed research papers must not exceed 5000 words including all text, figures, and tables. The cover page, abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. ● Research-in-progress papers must not exceed 2000 words including all text, figures, and tables. The cover page, abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. ● Panel and tutorial proposals must include the names and affiliations of panelists who have agreed to participate and a 1-2 page summary of the topic, including a description of how the session will be structured. ● Industry case studies may report specific strategies being employed or under development to address CPR issues and should be no longer than 3500 words including all text, figures, and tables. The cover page, abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. ● Research proposals: Students nominated for the doctoral consortium should submit a 10-page research proposal (including all text, figures, and references) to be reviewed by a panel of highly qualified senior faculty mentors. ● Posters/demo sessions must include a two-page abstract in PDF format describing what the poster would present. The abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed; (b) what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; (c) your approach to the problem; and (d) the key contribution. In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the refereed conference proceedings, which will be distributed at the conference. Completed research and case study papers will be published in their entirety. Extended abstracts will be published for panel discussions and research-in-progress papers. All presented papers will be considered for the Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper of the Year Award. The Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper and other exemplar papers will be invited for publication in the DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems-the quarterly journal publication of ACM SIGMIS. Proceedings of all previous CPR conferences are available in the ACM Digital Library at http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm. Conference Location The conference will be held in Washington, D.C., USA.
