-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP - Information Systems Frontiers Special Issue - COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS Datum: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 12:42:13 +0100 Von: joerg.leukel(a)uni-hohenheim.de An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de 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] AMCIS 2016 CFP: Information Technology and Digitization for Sustainable Transportation Datum: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 21:14:58 -0600 Von: Tobias Brandt <tobias.brandt(a)is.uni-freiburg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), San Diego, CA, August 13-16, 2016 Mini-Track: Information Technology and Digitization for Sustainable Transportation Tack: Green IS and Sustainability (SIGGreen) *Description* The transportation sector continues to be a main driver of global CO2-emmissions and environmental pollution (IPCC 2014). However, technological progress and digitization are having a profound effect on transportation and mobility, potentially decimating their environmental footprint. Information technology and information systems play a critical role in this transition. Electric vehicles would be much less appealing without online maps of charging stations and a simple electronic payment system. Information systems for managing the charging process of large electric vehicle fleets are necessary to ensure stability of electricity grids (Schmidt et al. 2014, Kahlen et al. 2014). Carsharing, bikesharing, and ridesharing services as well as multimodal mobility approaches are enabled by interactive online platforms and marketplaces that allow customers to locate, reserve, and pay for the vehicles (Birdsall 2014). They are also supported by sophisticated analytics systems that address the spatial and temporal volatility of vehicle supply and demand (Wagner et al. 2015). Green Logistics enables enterprise to substantially reduce the environmental impact of their supply and distribution systems (Dedrick 2010). All of these developments challenge established management and innovation approaches for incumbent organizations. This minitrack is inviting theoretical, empirical, and design-oriented papers that address how information technology, information systems, and digitization support the transition towards a sustainable mobility and transportation sector. Possible topics include but are not limited to: Digital business models for sustainable transportation and mobility Managerial challenges stemming from the digital transformation of the mobility sector Decision support for sustainable transportation and mobility Analytics and Big Data facilitating sustainable transportation and mobility Green Logistics Digital services for electric mobility Acceptance of sustainable mobility services *Submission* Authors can submit Full Papers or Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers. ERF papers are limited to 2,500 words (excluding references and appendices) and will be included in the conference proceedings either with the submitted paper or with the abstract of the paper. Submission open on January 4, 2016, and close on March 2, 2016 at 10 AM PST. *Minitrack Co-Chairs* Tobias Brandt, University of Freiburg, Germany, tobias.brandt(a)is.uni-freiburg.de (primary contact) Wolf Ketter, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands, wketter(a)rsm.nl Lutz M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2016: CFP Philosophy in Information Systems Datum: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 03:34:11 +0000 Von: Alan Litchfield <alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz> An: AIS Mailing List <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The SIG on Philosophy in Information Systems is delighted to call for your submissions to our three minitracks at AMCIS 2016 in San Diego The role of philosophy in Information Systems (IS) is to question fundamental problems about the nature of realities encountered in IS disciplines, how to define and identify the existence of taxonomies, knowledge, human and other values, reason and logic, and the definition and use of language. In the field of IS, philosophy relies on rational argument as much as it does on practical evidence and therefore philosophy uniquely enables the presentation of new theory and the verification or replacement of old. Philosophy covers a broad range of expression from epistemology (the nature and scope of knowledge) to logic (the study of the principles of correct reasoning), from moral and political philosophy and ethics to other applied philosophies. The Philosophy in Information Systems track provides a forum for scholars who are open to questioning all aspects of Information Systems and seeking to find ways for the field to progress. We invite papers that discuss philosophical aspects of the IS field from all IS domains, and from all angles and levels of inquiry. Minitrack details: Mini-track: Foundations of Information Systems Chair: Nik Hassan, University of Minnesota at Duluth, nhassan(a)d.umn.edu This mini-track provides a forum for every subfield in IS to analyze and reexamine the foundations of their subfield in light of exciting developments overtaking the IS field. All our research is based on some philosophical foundations whether we acknowledge them or not. This mini-track provides IS subfields cause to pause and reflect whether or not they have successfully contributed to the progress and stewardship of their domain such that the IS field can truly meet the needs of society. We invite papers that discuss philosophical aspects of the IS field from all IS domains, and from all angles and levels of inquiry. Topics relevant to this track include but not limited to: • Philosophy of Technology • Philosophy of Information • Philosophy of Knowledge Management • Foundations of IS Development • Philosophy of Design Science • Philosophy of IS education • Philosophy of human computer interaction • Reexamining "systems" in "information systems" • Rethinking organization science research in IS Mini-track: Theory versus practice in IS: how to bridge the gap? Chair: Emmanuel Monod, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China emmanuel.monod(a)sjtu.edu.cn The gap between theory and practice in management has been described as a management crisis (Gulati, 2007), a tension between rigor and relevance (Starkey and Madan, 2001), a double hurdle (Pettigrew, 2001) or the “knowing-doing gap” (Mintzberg 2004; Spender 2007). This mini-track invites all kind of submissions around the following questions: • how to improve academic research impact on management practice (Shapiro et al., 2007), including IS research? • Is the “strategy-as-practice” movement (Peppard, Galliers and Thorogood, 2014) a way to bridge the gap in IS? • how to develop theories of practice in the IS field? (Levina and Arriaga, 2014). • How to develop in IS Mode 2 knowledge (Van Aken, 2004) designed to solve problems and likely to be produced in the workplace through reflection on practice? • How to think about the practice of theorizing, like we do in Grounded theory, or theorizing as crafting (Bourdieu et al 1968) Mini-track: People and Technology Chair: Alan Litchfield, School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz The questions related to “People and Technology” range from the concept of dependence, for instance cell phone addiction, to emancipation, for instance access to information. They also include the social pressure that social networks may operate on individuals. • How long can we stand without our cellphone before being excluded from our community of practice? • How many communication mistakes can we make on a social network before being excluded from your private social community? • In our corporations, in what respect do ERP systems constraint not only innovation? Does sending emails became a risk because they may be used against you? • How do concepts such as sociomateriality (Orlikowski and Scott, 2008), “embodiment” (Dourish, 2011) “entanglement” or “dictature of the they” (Heidegger) allow to understand relationships between IT and people? • At the corporate level, what happened to the ideal of socio-technical systems? • Does IT reinforce control, or may it promote participative management? Submission details: Submissions open on 4 January, 2016 Deadline for submissions is March 2, 2016 Kind regards Dr Alan T Litchfield, MIITP School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Auckland University of Technology http://www.aut.ac.nz/cms/ Ph +649 921 9999 x5217 Director, Service and Cloud Computing Research Lab _______________________________________________ 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.

As part of the WWW 2016 International conference, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the most important issues today in terms of smart city methodologies, implementations and practices. The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps' design and development in the smart city and urban context. More specifically, it focuses on innovative applications smart city component and more specifically on the design and implementation of web-based applications and Apps. This component is crucial, since it addresses all the smart city dimensions: · Economy, since new types of entrepreneurship and business models appear in data and creative industries, and develop web applications and Apps. · Mobility, with regard to urban transportation (intelligent transportation), distance working, job offering demonstration etc. · Environment, since applications enhance resource management, transportation improvement, environmental monitoring etc. · Living, since applications enhance local life (i.e., e-learning, e-banking, e-commerce etc.). · People, since they concern applications' end users and · Governance, where open data and e-government play crucial role in smart city generation an operation. This year, the proposed workshop will emphasize on the contribution of web applications and Apps to current sustainability smart city challenges like urban efficiency against climate change, economic viability, adoption etc. Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the "big picture" of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop. This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart cities and web application development to think about the obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city trends with regard web application development that interconnect citizens, businesses and government in a smart city. We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions' or apps' development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the research communities. Standards for web applications' development in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to): · Theoretical foundations on Smart City web applications; · Smart City sustainability and the role of web applications; · End-to-end applications for Smart Cities; · Smart buildings, smart energy, smart water, smart waste, smart transportation and web applications; · Smart health, security, leisure, innovation and governance · Creative partnerships and creative industries in Smart City: the role of the WWW and of the Internet-of-things; · Standardizing web applications' development in Smart Cities; · The role of e-Government in Smart Cities (i.e., technology push); · Web applications for smart communities; · Smart City e-service execution with web applications; · Ensuring resilience, security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications; · Web Infrastructure architecture in smart cities: Datacenters, Content Delivery Networks, and Cloud Computing; · Internet Economics in smart cities: the role of applications; Submission ------------------------------------- We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers.
