-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Reminder - deadline January 15, 2016: JSIS special issue cfp - Strategic impacts of Œbig¹ (and ¹small¹) and real time data Datum: Wed, 30 Dec 2015 13:18:00 +0000 Von: Galliers, Robert <rgalliers(a)bentley.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special Issue: The challenges and opportunities of ‘datification’ Strategic impacts of ‘big’ (and ’small’) and real time data – for society and for organizational decision makers In their recent JSIS Viewpoint article, “Strategic opportunities (and challenges) of algorithmic decision-making: A call for action on the long-term societal effects of ‘datification’”, Sue Newell and Marco Marabelli raised major concerns regarding our increasing reliance on algorithmic decision-making (Newell and Marabelli, 2015). As a result, they made an urgent call for action for research by IS scholars that would critically assess society’s apparent taken-for-granted and unknowing acquiescence to this increasingly prevalent phenomenon. This call for papers is in response to their invitation for research that critically considers issues arising from our direct reliance on data, whether ‘big’ or ‘small’. The call is also directly linked to the conversation at a U.S. NSF-funded research agenda-setting workshop on the Social, Economic, and Workforce consequences of Big Data (Markus and Topi, 2015). Newell and Marabelli (2015) argue that the many digital devices that are increasingly in continuous use are capable of enabling the monitoring of “the minutiae of an individual’s everyday life”. Such data are often processed by pre-determined algorithms that lead to decisions that follow on directly without further human intervention (often with the claim that the decisions are for the individual’s benefit). Algorithmic decision-making incorporates two main characteristics: 1) the reliance on the part of decision-makers on ‘information’ that is produced by algorithms that process data (often in huge quantities), and 2) the rationale underpinning ‘suggestions’ made by the algorithms that are often either ignored or unknown on the part of those same decision-makers (Mayer-Schonberger and Cukier, 2013). The strategic value of these data for organizations (mostly businesses, but also government agencies) is unquestionable. However, the implications for individuals and wider society are much less clear – and often questionable. Given that we as individuals are “walking data generators” (McAfee and Brynjolfsson, 2012, p. 5), we allow others to profile us as potential customers who would therefore ‘benefit’ from personalized products and services. According to Newell and Marabelli, we most often remain “unaware of how the data they produce are being used, and by whom and with what consequences”. They further argue that key issues associated, for example, with privacy, control and dependence arise, often as a result of unwitting use, and should therefore “be brought to the fore and thoughtfully discussed”. The aim of their Viewpoint article was thus to lay a foundation for this discussion to take place – in the IS community and beyond. Huge quantities of digital trace data are collected through digitized devices (captured, for example, via social networks, online shopping, blogs, ATM withdrawals and the like) and through in-built sensors. The latter technologies include those that are equipped with GPS systems (e.g., smartphones and other surveillance and monitoring devices) and thus have the ability to identify a user’s location (see Abbas et al., 2014; Michael and Michael, 2011, for social implications, and Lyon, 2001; 2003; 2014, for privacy implications). As such, they fall under the ‘big data’ umbrella (Hedman et al. 2013; Wu and Brynjolfsson, 2009). The big data analytics concept bears similarity to the older and more familiar concept of business intelligence that has been studied for the past decade or so (e.g., Negash, 2004; Power, 2002; Rouibah and Ould-ali, 2002; Shollo and Galliers, 2015; Thomsen, 2003), with the difference that, in the big data context, the sources and types of data are significantly more varied and often get their relevance from real-time processing. But what of ‘little data’? As Newell and Marabelli point out, “While using big data and algorithmic decision-making to observe trends and so discriminate between groups of individuals can have social consequences that are potentially unfair, this targeting can now be taken further when data are used not to predict group trends but to predict the behavior of a specific individual”. Little data (based on ‘big’ data) thus focuses on the everyday activities of specific individuals, using vast computing capacity to collect and analyze extremely granular data (Munford, 2014). An example would be to record whether an individual is driving safely or not (for the ‘benefit’ of insurance companies or concerned parents of teenagers) – see Abbas et al. (2014) for a literature review. In a nutshell, the problem with ‘datification’ is that “somebody else may … use the data thus produced – often with purposes different from those originally intended”. Tensions that have been highlighted include: * Control versus freedom (whether informed or uninformed) * Dependence versus independence * Privacy versus security. Previous calls for papers have tended to consider the emergence of ‘big data analytics’ from the perspective of businesses and the research possibilities arising (see, for example, Baesens et al., 2014). This call for papers provides a broad, reflexive and critical mandate in the mold of the recent JSIS Viewpoint article (Newell and Marabelli, 2015), the January 2014 research agenda-setting workshop on implications and consequences of big data analytics (Markus and Topi, 2015), last December’s ICIS panel (Topi et al., 2014), and the recent JIT article by Markus (2015). We seek submissions that consider such tensions as these from a strategic, ethical and/or policy perspective. Implications for senior decision makers in organizations (whether public or private) and for individual citizens should be addressed. Markus and Topi (2015) call for research that is value-sensitive, design-oriented, transdisciplinary, sociotechnical, and anticipatory, and we join this call. Considerations of what makes for appropriate research methods applicable in this context would also be welcome, as would critical and trans-disciplinary approaches to the subject matter.

These services must be efficient and effective in acquiring, storing, curating, transforming, analyzing, exploiting, and managing the vast amount of diverse data. Timely actionable insights on the Big Data can bring unprecedented value and new opportunities that are critical to a successful business and/or a prosperous society. The Big Services should be provisioned in a way that speeds up data processing, scales up with data volume, improves the adaptability and extensibility over data diversity and uncertainties, and turns low-level data into actionable knowledge towards better understanding and manipulation of the Big Data. A Big Service is a managed integration of a massive, complicated series of services centered on Big Data. It could comprise of complicated business and IT services across multiple network, application, and administrative domains via API-defined services and micro-services. A Big Service can be a correlative and complicated business in the networked virtual and real worlds. At the dawn of the Big Services era, this special issue aims at presenting the latest developments, trends, and research solutions in provisioning data-centric Big Services.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP & Demos 4th WS on Multi-agent Based Applications for Smart Grids and Sustainable Energy Systems (MASGES) ,as part of PAAMS, Sevilla (Spain), 1th-3rd June 2016 Datum: Thu, 24 Dec 2015 10:34:00 +0100 Von: Rainer Unland <rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> Organisation: University Duisburg-Essen An: PAAMS <info(a)paams.net>, Rainer Unland <Rainer.Unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> *Call for Papers and Demos* *4th Workshop on Multi-agent Based Applications for Smart Grids and Sustainable Energy Systems (MASGES) * *as part of* *14th Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS)* *Sevilla (Spain), 1th-3rd June, 2016* *http://paams.net/workshops/masges* *Important dates* Submission date:18th January, 2016 Notification date:22nd February, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: 07th March, 2016 Conference dates:1st-3rd June, 2016 *Workshop motivation and topics* After the explicit commitment of many countries to support the installation and operation of (small) renewable energy production sources, energy grids need to become more intelligent and flexible. Such so called smart grids probably need to rely on decentralized control and a highly efficient, flexible and reliable management. Smart grids need to be capable of autonomously and intelligently configuring themselves to exploit available resources as efficiently as possible, to be robust to all kinds of failures and energy production deviations, and to be extendable and adaptable in the light of rapidly changing technologies and requirements. The distributed nature of the underlying control structure of such systems, and the autonomous behaviour expected from them points towards multi-agent systems as a possible underlying implementation platform for the management software of such grids. But not only energy production and provision have to change. The house as well as the transportation means of the future need to be smoothly integrated into such a smart grid concept, requiring houses and transportation means to be smart as well. On the economic side, the electrical power industry was traditionally intensively regulated with led to a lack of market-price mechanisms. After the introduction of new regulations it has evolved into a distributed and competitive industry in which market forces dictate electricity prices. Electricity markets (EMs) are an evolving new reality, meaning that researchers lack insight into numerous open problems associated with them, e.g. the technical difficulties to understand the internal dynamics of EMs and the additional complexity in coordinating economic and financial issues. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on applications of multi-agent systems technology in smart grids, smart homes and electricity markets. Additionally, we are planning various “demo sessions” to give participants from academia an opportunity to present their latest developments on practical applications of agent technology. Project coordinators as well as PhD students are encouraged to submit the description of valuable demos resulting from their work. *List of Topics* The focus of this workshop is on the application of multi-agent systems in smart grids, smart homes, and electricity markets. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: •Agent-based prediction, adaption and optimization of energy use within homes, buildings, organisations and micro-grids •Coalition formation strategies for coordinated energy use across multiple consumers, forming virtual power stations, and performing intelligent demand management •Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat •Multi-agent based simulations of energy grids and markets •Multi-Agent based Smart Grids Testbeds •Experiences with MAS-based Smart Grid implementations •Applications of MAS-based Smart Grid technologies •MAS-based real time adaptation of energy networks •MAS-based self-configuration or self-healing of energy systems •MAS-based load modelling and control •MAS-based applications for electrical vehicles •MAS-based control and management of electrical car fleets •MAS-based smart home (building) applications and services •MAS-based control and management of smart homes •MAS-based control and management of appliances •MAS-based commercial and industrial applications for smart homes •Intelligent Monitoring, Protection, Communication, Control or Diagnosis in Smart Grids •Agent-based Approaches in Energy Markets; •Market Monitoring and Forecasting •Novel Energy Markets and Trading Strategies •Smart sensors and advanced metering infrastructure *Structure of MASGES* MASGES will be a full one or two day(s) workshop and demo presentation and discussion. It will include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper and possible demos as well as invited talks on topics of overall workshop interest in order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is intended to end the workshop with a panel/discussion round in which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed. *Submission of papers * All papers and demo descriptions must be formatted according to the LNCS/LNAI template (see PAAMS homepage – paper submission for templates etc.), with a maximum length of 10-12 pages, including figures and references for papers and 2-4 pages for demos. Both, accepted papers and demos, will be included in the PAAMS 2016 Proceedings, published by Springer. Papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting instructions and must be submitted in electronic form (PDF format) using the Paper Submission System. *Review Process* Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation, practical applicability. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes. In general, papers to be acceptable, must be of substantial relevance for the multi-agent systems research community. Demo applications will be reviewed by the PC chairs. *Journal publication of excellent papers* It is intended to invite authors of excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper to the IOS Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal. If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular papers. *PC Chairs* Rainer Unland, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de <mailto:rainer.unland@icb.uni-due.de> (first contact) Fernando Lopes, LNEG National Research Institute, Portugal, fernando.lopes(a)lneg.pt <mailto:fernando.lopes@lneg.pt> *Program Committee* Alberto Fernández, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain Alberto Sardinha, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Andreas Symeonidis, University of Thessaloniki, Greece Anke Weidlich, Hochschule Offenburg, Germany Benjamin Hirsch, Etisalat BT Innovation Centre (EBTIC), UAE Bo Nørregaard Jørgensen , Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Instituttet, Denmark Christian Derksen, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Christoph Weber, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Costin Badica, University of Craiova, Craiova, Romania David Sislak, Gerstner Laboratory, Czech Republic Fabrice Saffre, Etisalat BT Innovation Centre, UAE Frank Allgöwer, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Gauthier Picard, ENS Mines Saint-Etienne, France Georg Frey, Universität des Saarlandes, Germany Hanno Hildmann, NEC Germany, Germany Ingo J.

Tools assisting in and, if possible, automating such transformations are of course of great interest. However, such tools require significant knowledge and reasoning capabilities. For example, the former could be a machine-understandable descriptions of what a piece of code is expected to do, while the latter could be a set of transformations and a corresponding logical context in which they are applicable, respectively. Furthermore, strategies to identify the sequence of transformations leading to the best resulting code need to be elaborated. This workshop will focus on techniques and foundations which make it possible to perform source code transformations, which preserve the intended semantics of the original code and improve efficiency, portability or maintainability. The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Program annotations to capture algorithmic properties and intended code semantics. * Programming paradigms able to express underlying (mathematical) properties of code. * Usage of dynamic and static mechanisms to infer relevant code properties. * Transformations which preserve intended semantics. * Strategies to apply transformations. * Heuristics to guide program transformation and techniques to synthesize / learn these heuristics. * Tools Submission Guidelines: Submissions are to be written in English and not exceed 10 pages, including bibliography.
