CALL FOR PAPERS
The Journal of Strategic Information Systems
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.

submit by July 26, 2015 / will be reviewed for September 2015 issue (done)
submit by October 26, 2015 / will be reviewed for December 2015 issue
JITS will be publishing a series of special section in 2015 dedicated to “new ways of working: changing nature of work with ICT.” With smart technologies, the very nature of work is changing. As work is deeply embedded in the fabric of our life, rules and institutions of our society change. Although many studies have been conducted concerning business process innovations and new business models, studies concerning what people actually do in these new processes and organizations are very scarce.
We invite practitioners as well as academics to submit insights, frameworks, cases and research contributions concerning the changing nature of work and the evolving workplace practices. The scope will be shaped only by the imaginations and creativity of authors.
JITS welcomes different investigative approaches including conceptual, organizational, behavioral, economic, social and technological ones. Submissions of manuscripts dealing with trans-disciplinary issues across different domains and methods are strongly encouraged. We are interested in developing research frameworks and issues, and welcome qualitative and/or prescriptive research, especially studies that can help readers to conceptualize new ways of working including technologies and social institutions, that are archetypical of new information and knowledge based economies. We also welcome quantitative pieces shedding lights on the changing nature of work.
JITS is published quarterly on March, June, September, and December. Manuscripts for these special sections will be reviewed on a rolling basis throughout 2015. Guest editors assure that the initial review for each submission will take less than a month. For any questions or comments, contact the admin support at jits.editor(a)gmail.com.
Submission Instructions
1. To submit a manuscript, go to the website (https://kits.jams.or.kr/co/locale.kci?lang=en_US) and follow the directions. If you are using the system first time, you need to create your account. For any questions, email at jits.editor(a)gmail.com.
2. Please submit your manuscript as a single file to be used in the refereeing process. This can be a PDF file or a Word document, in any format or lay-out that can be used by referees to evaluate your manuscript. It should contain high enough quality figures for refereeing. There are no strict formatting requirements but all manuscripts must contain the essential elements needed to convey your manuscript, for example abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, conclusions.
3. Once accepted, you will be provided with a template for final version.
4. All submitted articles will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.

Paper submission: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=momm2015
**** IMPORTANT DATES *****
August 15, 2015 : Full Papers (10 pages), Short papers, Demos and work in progress (4 pages)
September 22, 2015: Acceptance Notification
October 10, 2015: Camera-Ready Papers and Authors Registration
December 10-12, 2015: Conference Dates
***** Publication *****
ALL accepted MoMM2015 papers will be published by ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ISBN: 978-1-4503-3493-8) and the supplemental proceedings and indexed appropriately in all major indexes. Selected high-quality papers will be invited to be published, after revision and extension, in special issues of international journals and in a book in the Book Series: Atlantis Ambient and Pervasive Intelligence published by Springer.
**** Scope *****
A vast variety of multimedia services like voice, email, instant messaging, social networks, mobile payment and transactions, mobile video conferencing, or video and audio streaming has already shaped the expectations towards current mobile devices, infrastructure, and services. Within the last five years, mobile multimedia has become the accepted standard, driven by developments in end-user devices, radio networks, and backend services. However, many open research questions remain open, from limited battery life to heterogeneous data types, increases in quality of service, context-aware adaptation to the environment, or the ever-present security and privacy issues.
MoMM2015 is the 13th edition in the series of the highly successful International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing and Multimedia.
Recently, MoMM has been held in Kaohsiung (2014), Vienna (2013), Bali (2012), Ho Chi Minh City (2011), Paris (2010), Kuala Lumpur (2009), and Linz (2008). This year, Brussels will host MoMM2015. The MoMM conference series has provided opportunities to researchers, graduate students, and industry practitioners to address recent research results and current industry practices in the area of mobile computing and multimedia.
We invite three types of submissions: Full Technical Papers, Short Position Papers, and Demonstrations.
- A Full Paper should provide solid conceptual and theoretical foundation and substantial support for its results and conclusions as a significant contribution to the field.
- A Position Paper is not expected to be theoretically or empirically thorough, but represents an earlier stage of work. Examples are demonstration or prototype work, preliminary user studies, or work in progress, i.e. a report on the latest emerging ideas, approaches, methodologies, systems and application scenarios. A demonstration is intended to showcase novel concepts and innovative technologies which are at advanced stage and have already been implemented in working prototype systems. The informal setting of the demonstration session encourages presenters and participants to engage in discussions about presented work, while the accompanying short paper should describe the scientific aspects, concepts !
or methods underpinning the hands-on demonstration. Accepted papers and demonstrations from all three categories will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.
