-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling - AEM 2017 Datum: Sun, 4 Dec 2016 14:51:06 +0100 Von: Ulrich Reimer <ulrich0reimer(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: ulrich.reimer(a)fhsg.ch An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling - AEM 2017 In conjunction with ICEIS 2017 - the 19th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, Porto, Portugal, 26 - 29 April 2017 Workshop website:http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx SCOPE OF WORKSHOP The operating environment of most organizations or enterprises today is increasingly complex and changing rapidly. Leading technology discussions today often refer to the emerging and disruptive technology trends that would dramatically alter our socio-technical and socio-economic landscape in the near future. Technologies, techniques and methodologies that can assist enterprises with not only positioning for disruptive environments but also harnessing of potential benefits provided by the fast changing operating environment, such as included in enterprise architecture and engineering, are increasingly important. A core component of any enterprise approach are the models that need to be developed in order to understand, organize, simulate, design, communicate, implement and integrate all aspects of the enterprise that are embodied in its elements (people, processes, applications, etc.), their relationships to each other and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and evolution. TOPICS OF INTEREST The 1st International Workshop on Advanced Enterprise Modelling (AEM 2017) aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share research and experiences and discuss emerging developments in advanced enterprise modelling. The Workshop Chairs therefore invite authors to submit original research and development papers on topics of interest in advanced enterprise modelling that include, but are not limited to: Modelling approaches/methods: . Agile methods for enterprise modelling and enterprise architecture . Enterprise ontologies . Ontologies and enterprise modelling . Domain-specific modelling languages . Enterprise models with formal semantics . Rule systems in enterprise modelling . Meta-modelling for enterprises and enterprise information systems . Enterprise systems engineering . Interoperability of (models for) enterprise information systems. Modelling for specific domains/fields of study: . Modelling knowledge work . Decision modelling and decision management . Business capability modelling . Enterprise modelling for business-IT alignment . Enterprise interoperability . Interoperability in enterprise information systems . Conceptual modelling for enterprises and enterprise architecture . Modelling organisational change. IMPORTANT DATES . Paper Submission: January 26, 2017 . Authors Notification: February 13, 2017 . Camera Ready and Registration: February 27, 2017 TYPES OF PAPERS Two types of papers will be considered for AEM 2017: Regular Papers and Position Papers. Regular Papers . Submission: It is recommended that Regular Papers are submitted for review with around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected. . Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Regular Papers may be accepted as either Full Papers or Short Papers. Regular Papers classified as Full Papers will be assigned a 12-page limit in the Workshop Proceedings, while Regular Papers classified as Short Papers have an 8-page limit. Position Papers . Submission: Position Papers should be submitted for review with around 6 or 7 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 9 pages will be automatically rejected. . Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Position Papers will be accepted as Short Papers. Regular Papers will be assigned an 8-page limit in the Workshop Proceedings. PAPER SUBMISSION . Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics or paper categories or related fields listed above. . Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at:http://www.iceis.org/Templates.aspx . Please also check the Guidelines:http://www.iceis.org/Guidelines.aspx . Papers should be submitted electronically via the link to the web-based submission system provided at:http://www.iceis.org/AEM.aspx REVIEWING PROCESS . All reviews are based on submissions of full papers (not abstracts) following a double-blind process. All papers are subject to plagiarism analysis using a software tool prior to review. . All regular papers are reviewed by at least two reviewers, but usually by three or more, and rated considering their: Relevance, Originality, Technical Quality, Significance and Presentation; The reviewers are also asked to answer a group of questions that may help the authors to improve the paper, should it be accepted, namely: Abstract and Introduction are adequate?, Needs more experimental results?, Needs comparative evaluation?, Improve critical discussion?, Figures are Adequate?, Conclusions/Future Work are convincing?, References are up-to-date and appropriate?, Paper formatting needs adjustment?, Improve English? . Finally, the reviewers can provide some free text observations which was given to the authors and also some free text private observations, made available only to the program chair. Conflicting reviews may require assignment of a new reviewer. In the end the program chairs decide. The author has a period for rebuttal, which triggers a workflow involving the chairs and the reviewers if necessary. All rebuttals are answered but decisions are final. . Position papers follow a similar process but the criteria used for classification are slightly different in order to account for the nature of these papers, i.e. speculative ideas and/or ongoing work not yet fully validated. PUBLICATION After thorough reviewing by the workshop program committee complemented by members of the main conference program committee, all accepted papers will be published in a special section of the ICEIS 2017 conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support. All papers presented in person at the workshop venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Enterprise modelling delivers the ‘blueprints’ for co-designing and aligning business and enterprise information systems such that they complement each other in an optimal way. As example consider the support of business processes by process-aware information systems. Achieving such interplay requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, economic, and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud, social and big data, additional challenges for enterprise modelling and the design of information systems architectures are introduced, e.g., in respect to the design of data-driven processes or processes enabling cross-enterprise collaboration. To deal with these challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as information systems, business informatics, and computer science will be required. EMISA 2017 is the eighth international workshop in a series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of enterprise modelling and the design of information system (IS) architectures. The workshop series emphasizes a holistic view on these fields, fostering integrated approaches that address and relate business processes, business people and information technology.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] dg.o 2017: 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research, CUNY, College of Staten Island, Staten Island, NY, June 7-9, 2017 Datum: Thu, 01 Dec 2016 18:30:01 -0500 Von: Chris Hinnant <chinnant(a)fsu.edu> Antwort an: chinnant(a)fsu.edu Organisation: Florida State University An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS dg.o 2017: 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research Theme: Innovations and Transformations in Government City University of New York College of Staten Island, Staten Island, NY June 7-9, 2017 http://dgo2017.dgsociety.org/ Twitter handle: #dgo2017 The Digital Government Society (DGS) announces the 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research - dg.o 2017, with the theme "Innovations and Transformations in Government." The dg.o 2017 conference will be hosted by the City University of New York, College of Staten Island Campus, NY, June 7--9, 2017. The dg.o conference is an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, and the impact of technology and innovation on government and governance. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), and their focus on important and timely topics. The conference program combines: - Keynote and track presentations and discussions on new research on digital government at the intersections of information technology research, social and behavioral science research, and the challenges and missions of government. - Presentations of effective partnerships and collaborations among government professionals and agencies, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of digital government. - A showcase of digital government projects, implementations, and initiatives that bring together the research and practitioner communities, demonstrate the effectiveness and/or challenges of digital government and offer best practices. JOINT EVENT WITH INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY FORUM Two global communities, the Digital Government Society (DGS) and the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), will partner in June 2017 to build new bridges between research and practice, with a shared goal of creating new interdisciplinary, multi-sector partnerships within the world's communities focused on innovation. Both DGS and the ICF have convened respective communities in cities all around the world. This year they are bringing their communities together in New York to share knowledge, allow each group to network at a deeper level and explore new partnerships to advance urban and rural innovation. On June 7, 2017, the DGS and ICF's representatives will host the joint program at the City University of New York Staten Island campus for the ICF's annual Summit and the dg.o conference. For one day, members of both communities will present a set of joint and complementary sessions that provide attendees with a chance to hear from global leaders from across the world's leading regions, cities and towns. Attendees will participate in master classes and workshops, and seek to build collaborations focused on advancing the scholarship, policy and practice of urban and rural innovation. The capstone of the collaboration of these two communities will be the announcement of the world's Top7 intelligent communities at a joint reception in Manhattan on the evening of June 7th. THEMES AND TRACK TOPICS The 18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of Innovations and Transformations in Government. Technological advances, such as big data and collective intelligence, together with policy innovations including open government, open data, and the creation of new public data labs have been a catalyst for disruptive innovations in government, causing radical re-thinking of the traditional assumptions and expectations regarding how governments should function. Public goods and services once considered exclusively the responsibility of government agencies are now often initiated and produced through collaborations with citizens, non-profits, and/or private sector partners. The conference theme will highlight challenges and solutions in harnessing innovations and transformations in government. Innovative designs in all aspects of government, including people, services, data, policy, governance, collaboration, and democracy, require leadership talent, creative ideas and implementation strategies, and clear success criteria for evaluating solutions. We welcome research and practice contributions from around the world on the topics including but not limited to innovation strategies, policy innovations, citizen services, engagement innovations, and data-driven decision innovations that address various current societal, environmental and economic challenges, across all the eight tracks below. Each track will accept full research papers as well as research in progress, management case studies and policy papers. Panel, tutorial, workshop, poster and demonstration proposals are also invited. Each conference element has co-chairs who are responsible for managing the submission and review process for their track. Feel free to contact track chairs for guidance as necessary. Track 1. Social Media and Government Track Chairs: Andrea Kavanaugh (kavan(a)cs.vt.edu) and Rodrigo Sandoval The use of social media has been growing rapidly and globally. Governments at all levels have been using microblogs, such as Twitter, and social network sites, such as Facebook, among other platforms and tools for public administration and outreach to citizens. Citizens, businesses and voluntary associations have been using these tools and affordances to share information, ask questions, and compete or collaborate on problem solving within and among neighborhoods, industries, states, and nations. The growing use of social media has created new challenges and opportunities for many users such as changes in regulations and policies, marketing, highly diverse perspectives, and feedback. Analysis of communication behavior, messages, and systems and institutions, should contribute to our knowledge of the ways these media are affecting collective problem solving and public policy development. Future trends in social media and government point to new synergies, as well as disruptions, among public agencies and users. This track welcomes research and practice papers addressing a range of similar or related topics on social media analysis on content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance this area of research. Track 2. Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Track chairs: Jing Zhang (jizhang(a)clarku.edu), Yu-Che Chen, and Lei Zheng Public organizations employ information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders in public and private sectors. The adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, organization's technological culture, as well as inter-organizational dynamics. Similarly, the adoption of ICT in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and innovativeness of public organizations. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT. Research papers in this track examine the adoption, use, and organizational impacts of a variety of innovative technologies and policies or practices that include but are not limited to social media, citizen-centric technologies, virtual collaboration, open data, big data, and modeling tools. Track 3. Opening Government: From Open Data Infrastructures to Collaboration Track chairs: Marijn Janssen (m.f.w.h.a.janssen(a)tudelft.nl), Vishanth Weerakkody, and Adegboyega Ojo Governments are utilizing the Internet to achieve an open, transparent and accountable government while providing responsive services. This extensive transformation is required both within the government and in the way governments engage with the public. The opening and sharing of data, the deployment of tools and instruments to engage the public, collaboration amongst public organizations and between governments and the public are important drivers for realizing these goals. Governments initiate open data portals, develop apps, and open more data to engage with the public to create more value. To successfully achieve this vision, fundamental changes in practice and new research on governments as open systems are needed. Successful cases, measurement instruments, information sharing, adoption, stakeholder analysis and theoretical models and frameworks are necessary to advance this field. In particular, this track solicits papers addressing the issue of public sector transformation achieved through open government, collaboration amongst actors and information sharing within and between public and private organizations. Track 4. Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments Track chairs: Sehl Mellouli (sehl.mellouli(a)fsa.ulaval.ca), Yigal Arens The slogan "Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Governments" refers to the promise of using linked and intertwined technologies to create innovative and intelligent solutions to life in a city that will result not only in operational efficiency, but also in government transformation through co-creative governance. Topics for this track include but are not limited to: Applications and collaborations based on the "internet of things"; Smart sensors; Big data analytics; The Civic Technology Movement, and Intercity and intergovernmental collaborations; Intelligent solutions for cities and governments. Descriptions of research and development efforts that demonstrate advances in technology and/or policy innovations in the areas of energy, transportation, health, education, public safety, structures, natural environment, and business, are all welcome, as are related issues of cybersecurity and privacy, community-based infrastructure resilience, urban informatics and governance. Track 5. Cybersecurity and Government Track Chairs: Loni Hagen (lonihagen(a)usf.edu), Hun-Yeong Kwon, Wookjoon Sung and Soon Ae Chun Increasing threats of domestic and international cyber-attacks, and growing dependencies on inter-connected cyberspace, require a need for national and global collaborations to develop secure and resilient cyber infrastructure. This track focuses on technical, policy and social dimensions of cyber security research, including theoretical and empirical models and frameworks, to address ever-expanding cyber security challenges. Topics include but not limited to: information security in e-government, cybercrimes, cyber incident response, critical infrastructure protection, national and global information sharing, surveillance and privacy, cryptography policy governance, security governance and strategies, civil engagement and public awareness. We also invite domain-specific cases and innovative approaches on security challenges, cybernational defence, private/public joint efforts, and education, such as workforce training and retention. Track 6. Beyond Bureaucracy, Co-Producing Governance & New Models of Governance Track Chairs: Alois Paulin (alois(a)apaulin.com) and Leonidas Anthopoulos The Beyond Bureaucracy track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance research paths and priorities. Where well-established e-government / e-governance research ambitions focus on providing and/or studying technology that supports the work and mission of government agencies and governmental agents (incremental innovation), Beyond Bureaucracy addresses the question how radical technological innovation transforms the power of citizens and the conceptual sovereign body to actively control (rather than passively observe and follow) government agencies and governmental agents. The Beyond Bureaucracy track invites contributions that discuss pending technological (design science) challenges, promotes the economic potentials of disruptive new technological ecosystems, and serves as a platform for pro/con deliberations on Beyond Bureaucracy thought and knowledge. Research keywords includes but not limited to: Liquid Democracy, Informating Governance, e-Anarchy, Participatory Budgeting & Bottom-Up Excise, Non-Bureaucratic Government, etc. Track 7. Participatory Democracy Track Chairs: Claudia Cappelli (claudia.cappelli(a)uniriotec.br), Cristiano Maciel, José Viterbo Filho E-participation comprises the use of information and communication technologies to broaden and deepen political participation by enabling citizens to connect with one another and with their elected representatives. It can lead to new methods of producing public policies and services that contrast with transaction-based methods of service delivery, in which citizens consume public services solely conceived and provided by governments. In the novel coproduction-based approaches, citizens are not only consulted but are part of the conception, design, steering, and management of public policies and services. Hence, this track focuses on e-participation approaches that instrument Participatory Democracy, supporting cooperation among citizens and governments on regular basis. Its major topics will discuss strategies, methods, techniques and tools that can contribute to the coproduction of public services. Track 8. Open Government Data Policies & Politics Track chairs: Boyi Li (b.li(a)exeter.ac.uk) and Kyung Ryul Park A growing body of literature has been focused on the benefits, motivations, as well as best practices to adopt open data in government sectors. Many theorizing efforts regard institutional structures as critical barriers to promote open innovation paradigm in public sector. In this track, we discuss the impact and change of these institutional structures by inviting research papers that examine open data initiatives as either government policies or politics. The policy lens critically analyses the policy documents and reveals how open data policies are drafted, interpreted, and implemented in a specific context. The politics lens is mainly concerned with the power relations between the state, civil society, and business. It leads to a critical reflection on the agenda of open data movement in the context of power structures of informational capitalism. Therefore, we particularly welcome the content and discourse analysis of open data documents, and the storytelling of government-business collaboration in open data innovations. Panels Chair: Teresa Harrison Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application. Proposals from practitioners at all levels of government featuring experiences with, perspectives on, and evaluations of digital government practice are encouraged. Individuals interested in submitting panel proposals are invited to consult the panel co-chairs about their ideas prior to developing their submissions. Please send expressions of interest for panel development to Teresa Harrison (tharrison(a)albany.edu). Poster and Demonstration Poster and Demo Chair: Kellyton dos Santos Brito and Murray Scott The poster session, held in conjunction with the system demonstrations, allows presenters to discuss research in progress, application projects, or government policies and program initiatives in one-to-one conversations with other participants at the conference. PUBLICATIONS All accepted management or policy papers, research papers, student papers, panels, posters, and system demonstrations will be published in the printed proceedings and included in the ACM digital library and the DBLP bibliography system. Selected papers will be invited for a journal special issue. BEST PAPER AWARDS Outstanding achievement awards will be presented in the categories Research papers, Management, Case Study and Policy papers, Posters, and System demonstrations. Papers that reflect the main theme of the conference, Innovations and Transformations in Government, will be preferred. Other selection criteria include the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of the work, its contribution to and balance between theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), the importance and reach of the topic, and the quality of the writing for communicating to a broad audience.

Doctoral Colloquium (7 - 10 pages, not including references, tables and figures): The doctoral colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research. Ph.D. students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect students at this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work and the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to submit an application. Material provided in applications to the doctoral colloquium will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo. CONFERENCE ORGANIZATION Conference Chairs .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] AW4city 2017 3rd ACM International Smart City Workshop in Perth, Australia - Web Applications and Smart Cities: Enhancing Livability with Web Applications for smart cities Datum: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 00:37:34 +0200 Von: Dr. Leonidas Anthopoulos <lanthopo(a)teilar.gr> Antwort an: Dr. Leonidas Anthopoulos <lanthopo(a)teilar.gr> Organisation: Business School, TEI of Thessaly, Greece An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-posts) ----------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AW4city 2017, 3rd International ACM Smart City Workshop: Enhancing Livability with Web Applications for smart cities In conjunction with WWW’17: 25th World Wide Web International Conference Perth, Australia, April 3, 2017 http://aw4city2017.wordpress.com Workshop Objective ---------------------------- Following up the success of past events at WWW2015 and WWW2016, AW4City 2017 aims to keep on attracting a significant international attention with regard to web applications for smart cities. 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 innovative business models appear in data, creative and climate economies, 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, e-tourism etc.). • People, since they concern applications’ end users and • Governance, where open data and e-government applications play crucial roles in smart city operation. This year, the workshop will emphasize on the contribution of web applications and Apps to city livability. Livability stands for local quality of life and citizen satisfaction in terms of education, environment, stability, healthcare, and infrastructure. Livable Melbourne for instance, is the outcome of a development, policy and planning path, while today is the showpiece, the workplace, and the venue for the young and restless to play. In this respect, this workshop aims to demonstrate how web applications and Apps can enhance city’s quality of life and citizen satisfaction (i.e., from smart service delivery; from transactions with the local government and utilities; from the existence of local online gaming, training, entertainment, business 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. AW4City 2017 is timely, since an increasing criticism is being generated that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local governments with big technological vendors. 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 applications and standards; • Smart City management systems; • Practices of Web applications and Apps in smart cities; • Creative partnerships and creative industries in Smart City (Internet Economics and Monetization); • Pervasive Web and Mobility for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., energy, water, waste, transportation etc.) • The role of government for smart city applications development and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data); • Web Infrastructure standardization; • The role of standards on smart city web mining; • Smart city e-services for evaluation and benchmarking; • Smart city information quality and evolution in social content; • Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications.

CALL FOR PAPERS for an edited book entitled “The Digital Transformation of the Consulting Industry” Editor: Volker Nissen Institute of Business Informatics University of Technology Ilmenau, Germany https://www.tu-ilmenau.de/wid/ volker.nissen(a)tu-ilmenau.de<mailto:volker.nissen@tu-ilmenau.de> About the Editor: Prof. Nissen has more than twelve years of practical experience in IT-consulting. Since 2005 he holds the Chair of Business & Information Systems Engineering in Services at the University of Technology Ilmenau, Germany. Consulting Research is one of his main focus areas in academic research. Ilmenau is one of the top 5 educators in Business Informatics at University level in Germany, according to the 2016 survey of Wirtschaftswoche. Publisher: Springer Book is scheduled to be published in 2017. Theme of the Book: Consulting companies face new challenges today. These challenges, on the one hand, consist of the increased professionalism and price consciousness of the clients. On the other hand, a change to a buyer's market as well as high competitive pressure on standard services has been observed for years. In order to remain strong in the market, consultancies need to critically evaluate their own business model as well as the way they provide their consulting services. The digitization of consulting processes and services can be an innovative strategy for securing the success of the company and supplement the classical consulting portfolio with new, technology-based ‘virtual‘ services. The virtualization of consulting services can basically be understood as a continuum with different degrees of digitization. Its extreme points are determined on the one hand by a merely supportive use and on the other by an exclusive use of information and communication technology in consulting services. By rethinking the delivery process of consulting itself consultancies can reshape the interaction with the client and reach new groups of clients. Using state-of-the-art technology enables consulting providers to deliver customized solutions anytime and anywhere while the individual work load of consultants can be optimized. The downside of such virtualized services is the reduced direct interaction of clients and consultants and thus the risk of a weaker client-consultant-relationship. Digital transformation in the consulting industry is a complex process that will substantially reshape the interaction with the client and change the traditional roles of the actors. This requires a high degree of creativity and strategic thinking that reaches far beyond the pure 1:1 transfer of conventional consulting processes into the virtual world. This book will offer orientation and advice to anyone concerned with the digital transformation of consulting. Topics of Contributions: Basically all topics related to the general theme of the book are acceptable. Examples include, but are not limited to the following issues: • Extending the traditional delivery model of consulting beyond people business – ways and means of virtualizing consulting services and processes • Chances/Benefits and Risks/Disadvantages of digital business model innovations in consulting • The customer view on digital consulting • Security issues in digital consulting services • Fully automated consulting solutions • Differences in digitization strategies relating either to the consulting field (strategy, organization, IT, HR) or the consulting approach (assessments, expert consulting, coaching etc.) • Comparing the situation in different countries and consulting markets • The status quo of the digital transformation in the various consulting fields • Assessing the virtualization potential of consulting services and processes • Organizing the digital transformation of consulting services • Integrating digital consulting services with a classical consulting portfolio • Examples of digital consulting services, methods, tools and other artifacts • Digitization in closely related fields, such as legal consulting, assurance and auditing, or wealth management – what can we learn here for business consulting? • Comparisons between digitization in knowledge-intensive professional services and other branches of industry • How digitization will influence the consulting market • Relation between digitization and outsourcing in consulting • Digitization and Inhouse-Consulting • Underlying principles and technologies of digital consulting services, such as modularization, standardization, knowledge modelling, automated and case-based reasoning, mobile applications, cloud, big data, IoT, social networks etc. • What consulting might look like in the future Empirical as well as design-oriented research is welcome. Types of Contributions: Two types of contributions with a different focus are welcome: • Scientific research papers should have approx. 15 – 20 pages. They must include a clear research question related to the theme of the book, outline the research methodology and discuss the results at an academic level. • Application-oriented papers should have approx. 8 – 12 pages. They must describe the design, implementation and practical results of sample applications, demonstrating the relevance of digitization in the context of consulting services. All contributions must be in English language. A Word-template will be provided to prospective authors after 5. Dec. 2016. Original research is preferred. However, as the book intends to collect state-of-the-art contributions on the digital transformation in consulting, submissions may have been published before. In this case, they must be substantially revised in order to avoid a copyright infringement. The copyright will have to be transferred to Springer by the corresponding author of each contribution. Schedule for Contributors: • Prospective authors should send an Extended Abstract of 2 – 4 pages to the editor until 5. Dec. 2016. The abstract must clearly communicate the core contribution of the intended paper and the methodology used to achieve the results. If a full paper is available at this stage, please send the full paper instead of an abstract. All submissions then undergo an editorial review process, based on thematic conformity with the general theme of the book, originality and quality. • Authors of contributions not suitable for the book will be informed on 19. Dec. 2016 at the latest. All other submissions are conditionally accepted, provided a full paper according to academic standards is submitted until 12. Feb. 2017. Two types of contributions are possible: scientific research papers and application-oriented papers (see above). • Information about final acceptance/rejection of papers or required revisions will be sent out until 6. March 2017. • Final versions of papers are due on 3. April 2017. Please feel free to forward this CfP to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics, please contact the editor at volker.nissen(a)tu-ilmenau.de<mailto:volker.nissen@tu-ilmenau.de> .

We theoretically propose and empirically examine the effect of cultural background (specifically individualism (versus collectivism)) on consumers' tendency to conform to prior opinion and review texts' emotionality. We also examine how conformity and emotionality relate to review helpfulness. We test our hypotheses using a unique dataset that combines online restaurant reviews from TripAdvisor with measures of individualism/collectivism values. We found that consumers from a collectivist culture were less likely to deviate from the average prior rating and to express emotion in their reviews. Moreover, individuals perceived those reviews that exhibited high conformity and intense emotions to be less helpful. We also present several important implications for managing online review platforms in light of these findings, which reflect the previously unidentified drivers of system atic differences in the characteristics of online reviews.

Raghav Rao, University of Texas at San Antonio Abstract This study examines overconfidence in phishing email detection. Researchers believe that overconfidence (i.e., where one's judgmental confidence exceeds one's actual performance in decision making) can lead to one's adopting risky behavior in uncertain situations. This study focuses on what leads to overconfidence in phishing detection. We performed a survey experiment with 600 subjects to collect empirical data for the study. In the experiment, each subject judged a set of randomly selected phishing emails and authentic business emails. Specifically, we examined two metrics of overconfidence (i.e., overprecision and overestimation). Results show that cognitive effort decreased overconfidence, while variability in attention allocation, dispositional optimism, and familiarity with the business entities in the emails all increased overconfidence in phishing email detection. The effect of perceived self-efficacy of detecting phishing emails on overconfidence was marginal. In addition, a ll confidence beliefs poorly predicted detection accuracy and poorly explained its variance, which highlights the issue of relying on them to guide one's behavior in detecting phishing. We discuss mechanisms to reduce overconfidence.
