Fwd: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS - Workshop: Designing Human-Computer Assistance Systems (HuCAS) in St. Gallen, Switzerland (February 12th, 2017)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS - Workshop: Designing Human-Computer Assistance Systems (HuCAS) in St. Gallen, Switzerland (February 12th, 2017) Datum: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 16:39:35 +0000 Von: Morana, Stefan (IISM) <stefan.morana(a)kit.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - Workshop: Designing Human-Computer Assistance Systems (HuCAS) - WI 2017 in St. Gallen, Switzerland (February 12th, 2017) MOTIVATION Initial attempts in information systems (IS) to support users with more comprehensive, integrated assistance failed miserably, such as the famous Clippy by Microsoft. More recent assistance functionalities, primarily in the private life context, such as Apple's Siri or Google Now, showed their usefulness (Maedche et al. 2016). One research domain that is already mature with regard to human-machine assistance is the automotive sector. For more than 30 years, there has been research into assistance systems that proactively support drivers (Bengler et al. 2014). Assistance systems are also investigated in the human-machine interaction context (Wandke 2005). The IS domain may leverage and learn from the existing (design) knowledge on assistance systems. By tailoring assistance to users' current context and needs during the interaction with the computer, for example by making use of the sensors or historical user data that many devices nowadays have access to, more advanced assistance systems can provide IS users with added value. Although there are various attempts in IS, especially in the human-computer-interaction community, to study the effects of assistance and to provide concrete solutions in the form of prototypes, a great deal of research is still needed. Thus, designing human-computer assistance systems is a promising research field that deserves more attention in IS research and related communities. Human-computer assistance systems can be classified along two dimensions: (1) the degree of interaction enabled by the assistance system, and (2) the degree of intelligence of the system (Maedche et al. 2016). The degree of interaction characterizes the assistance systems capability to support users in an ongoing reciprocal and activating dialog using, potentially, different channels (Benyon 2010). The degree of intelligence describes the assistance systems capability to provide guidance or advice (Silver 2006) based on the user's current activities and usage environment (Gregor and Benbasat 1999). Combining both dimensions, interactive and intelligent human-computer assistance systems enrich the humans' usage of computer systems in order to help them to perform their tasks better and make better decisions. INTENDED PARTICIPANTS We invite researchers as well as practitioners with an interest in the conceptualization, design, and evaluation of interactive and intelligent human-computer assistance systems (HuCAS) for supporting users' task execution and decision making. Given the broad spectrum of HuCAS and the topics' interdisciplinary, we invite researchers and practitioners focusing, for example, on human-computer interaction, decision support and decision making, business intelligence and analytics, intelligent user interfaces, and human behavior in IS to advance the topic in the workshop. WORKSHOP TOPICS We are interested in manuscripts addressing one of the following topics: - Theory-grounded conceptualization of human-computer assistance systems in general and along the two dimensions interactivity and intelligence - Design of human-computer assistance systems in the form of decision aids, recommendation systems, virtual assistants, guidance systems, task-support systems, or digital assistance systems - Research on the IT-based support of individuals' working routines in organizational or private life contexts - Empirical (qualitative or quantitative) evaluation of human-computer assistance system artifacts in, for example, laboratory experiments or field studies - Research addressing the context and situation when human-computer assistance systems are required - Research on the individuals' cognitive processes when using human-computer assistance systems and the related outcomes Manuscripts addressing related topics that are not mentioned explicitly are welcome. SUBMISSIONS The submissions should be no longer than six pages (DIN A4, 12 pt Times New Roman, single spaced) including figures, tables, and references. The format of the submission is an anonymized PDF document that includes a title and 3-5 keywords. No specific template is provided.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] EM CfP "The Role of Digital Networks for Social Entrepreneurship and Social Transformation" Datum: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 15:57:12 +0200 Von: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org - Apologies for cross-postings - Dear colleagues, We would like to remind you about our call for papers for the special issue on "The Role of Digital Networks for Social Entrepreneurship and Social Transformation". The submission deadline is November 1st, 2016. The detailed CfP is copied below. We cordially invite original research contributions to the special issue or to general research on electronic markets and networked business from all potential authors. Please note that general research articles can be submitted anytime whereas special issue articles need to be submitted by the deadline shown in the CfP. Please feel free to forward this email to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics, please contact the editorial office [editors(a)electronicmarkets.org]. With best regards, Carsta Militzer-Horstmann Executive Editor Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business ********************************************************************* Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business Call for Papers for Special Issue on "The Role of Digital Networks for Social Entrepreneurship and Social Transformation" ********************************************************************* Guest Editors *************** * Susanne Leist, University of Regensburg, Germany, <mailto:susanne.leist@ur.de> susanne.leist(a)ur.de * Marco De Marco, Uninettuno University, Rome, Italy, <mailto:marco.demarco@unicatt.it> marco.demarco(a)unicatt.it * Eusebio Scornavacca, University of Baltimore, USA, <mailto:escornavacca@ubalt.edu> escornavacca(a)ubalt.edu * Kanliang Wang, Renmin University of China, <mailto:kanliang.wang@gmail.com> kanliang.wang(a)gmail.com Theme *************** Our world is dynamic, becoming increasingly complex. Unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, crime, corruption, underdevelopment, inequality, and mass migration have become global social challenges. For some time now, social entrepreneurship has emerged to aim at decreasing the impact of some of these global problems and to be of benefit to society, often with an emphasis on those who are marginalized. These social entrepreneurs introduce different types of business models concentrating on expansion of the supply chain (e.g. sustainable production or sustainable commerce), focusing on leveraging the competencies of individuals with special needs in the marketplace, or facilitating access to education to disadvantaged communities to name only a few. In recent years, new network-based technologies have been discovered by social entrepreneurs enabling them to provide various kinds of important assistance. In case of natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes or animal diseases, smartphone-based alerting and management systems can facilitate the information flow and improve the efficiency of early warning systems. New technologies for mining social media have been applied to organize emergency services by real-time parsing and analyzing public messages. In addition, digital networks support the day-to-day work by raising awareness and funds or building up partnerships at low costs or by forming mutual assistance communities. Nevertheless, while the use of digital networks has mitigated some of the world's social problems, it has also enabled the development of new challenges. Developing a network of social entrepreneurs successfully acting together has proved to be a challenge, and there is still a lack of studies on the dynamics of such networked based business models. The aim of this special issue is to illustrate the research regarding digital networks and their use by social entrepreneurs to foster social transformation. Thus, the focus of submissions should be on research that can advance our insight into the mechanisms that constitute digital networks and successful interaction and/or the impact on the use of networked-based technologies for social entrepreneurs. Research exploring the role of digital networks promoting participation, improving welfare, increasing transparency, and implementing shared value are of particular interest. Papers, which are relevant, benefit-oriented and meaningful for both society and organizations, are most welcome. Central topics *************** Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited, to the following: . Digital networks managing or disrupting the tensions, contradictions, and paradoxes of complex social problems . Affordance and constraints of digital networks that create or worsen complex social problems . Disaster management using social networks . Digital and net-based innovations to escape poverty . Managing the global food problem via digital networks . Acquisition and absorption of knowledge through digital networks . Networked business models for social entrepreneurship and social problems . How ICT-enabled platforms help NGOs achieve social missions . Societal challenges of living in an ubiquitous digital ecosystem We encourage contributions covering a broad range of methodological approaches, including conceptual, qualitative and quantitative research. We also welcome contributions addressing related topics not listed above (please contact the special issue editors in that case to discuss the fit prior to submission). Additionally, please check the scope of Electronic Markets before submitting your paper ( <http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/> http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/).

No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security ( http://www.jissec.org), European Journal of Management Studies and Information and Computer Security.

Risk is the effect of uncertainty on goals. Where there is uncertainty, there is risk. Where there is risk, there should have contingency management. Therefore, uncertainty, risk and contingency are ubiquitous, and are always a topic for our research and development. However, the dramatic development of the Internet leads to global uncertainty in economy, military, industry, etc. Big data intensifies global uncertainty and risk in many areas including management decision making, healthcare, finance, banking, privacy and security. Big data has become a strategic asset for industry, business, and national security. Big Data is also a key enabler of exploring business insights and economics of services. Big Data is characterized with at least six bigs: big volume, big velocity, big variety, big value, big veracity, and big market. Big data has brought about big challenge for risk and contingency management. For example, what big data driven approach can improve risk and contingency management in the age of big data? How can we manage big data driven risk and contingency in industry, finance, business and other sectors. 1 Objective and topics The objective of this Special Issue in International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management is to present the current state of research and practical experiences on big data driven risk and contingency management. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.
