The FAS* Doctoral Symposium provides an international forum for PhD Students working in research areas addressed by FAS*. In this forum, PhD students will get unique opportunities to subject their research to the scrutiny of external experts, gain experience in the presentation of research, connect to peers and experts addressing similar problems, and get advice from a panel of internationally leading researchers. Different from the technical tracks of the conference, the FAS* Doctoral Symposium focuses on the specific needs of young researchers at the beginning of their career. As such, particular emphasis will be placed on a critical and constructive feedback that shall help participants to successfully conclude their PhD studies. PhD students working in any area addressed by the FAS* conferences are invited to submit a Doctoral Symposium paper in which they describe the key motivation and objectives of their research project, and reflect on the methodology as well as the current status of their PhD studies. Complementing the thematic focus of FAS*, we particularly solicit contributions in the following areas: * Engineering of self-organizing and self-adaptive systems We solicit theoretical and applied works addressing fundamental principles underlying self-organizing systems, as well as methods that allow to quantify, model and reproduce the self-* characteristics of complex systems in biological, social, physical and technical systems. Examples include mechanisms underlying distributed decision- making and collective intelligence, software engineering challenges in self-adaptive systems, as well as general application of self-* principles in the engineering of technical systems. * Complex Cyber-physical and socio-technical systems We welcome contributions that apply self-* principles to address challenges in the design of complex cyber- physical and socio-technical systems. Particular examples include smart grid infrastructures, sensor networks, opportunistic networking scenarios, as well as large-scale social information systems. Works addressing challenges such as the security, privacy and anonymity of users, or mechanisms to prevent censorship, manipulation or unfairness in socio-technical systems are especially welcome. We further solicit works on socio- technical and socio-economic challenges in P2P systems, such as the design of incentive, trust and reputation mechanisms. * Self-* approaches in Massive-Scale Decentralized Systems Works in this area use self-* approaches to address challenges in the design and operation of massive scale decentralized systems. Examples include Peer-to-Peer technologies, as well as overlay topology management schemes. We are further interested in decentralized data mining and machine learning approaches, as well as decentralized approaches to monitor, model and adapt distributed systems. Works using self-* principles to address the inherent challenges in the design of massive-scale systems with unreliable and heterogeneous are of particular interest. * Autonomic Computing Systems Here we are interested in all works addressing the self-configuration, self-optimization and self-adaptation of cloud computing services, data centers and general distributed computing systems. Examples for questions addressed in this area include the monitoring and modeling of cloud services, the design of efficient resource allocation mechanisms, the application of data mining and machine learning techniques to analyze and predict the behavior of technical systems, as well as the characterization of distributed computing workloads. * Application of Self-* in Robotics and Spatial Computing Finally, we welcome contributions using self-* principles in the areas of robotics, swarm robotics and spatial computing. Here, examples for works of interest include environmental modeling and perception, machine vision, and self-adaptation mechanisms in robotics, distributed coordination and collective intelligence in multi- robot systems, as well as novel paradigms for the programming of autonomous, spatially distributed entities. --------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------- Submissions should have a length of max. six pages and be formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue on "Bright ICT" - CFP Submission Deadline Extended April 30, 2016 Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:19:41 +0000 Von: JAIS <JAIS(a)comm.virginia.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Special Issue on ICT Challenges and Opportunities in Building a “Bright Society” SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 30, 2016 Full details may be found on the JAIS Website: http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/CFP_JAIS_BrightICT_Special_Issue_Announcement.… Special Guest Editors Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon University Wonseok Oh, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Choon Ling Sia, The City University of Hong Kong Background: ICT Opportunities and Challenges Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have changed the face and pace of social and economic interactions. Such changes have driven growth and innovation across key segments of society from healthcare to education and across modern initiatives from economic development to connectivity. ICT infrastructures have engendered a new socio-economic paradigm called the “sharing economy,” in which people share goods and services online through collaborative consumption. ICTs and the mobile revolution have dramatically improved the “health” in healthcare services across the globe, as reflected by the delivery of high-quality patient care at low cost. Information and communication innovations have also promoted universal access to education through online platforms (e.g., massive open online courses), thereby expanding society’s capacity to learn. However, the benefits derived from these technologies come with a price. Although ICTs paved the way for achievement, they have produced adverse effects that threaten ethical precepts, economic development, and social order. Cybercrime and economic espionage cost the global economy more than $500 billion a year. The erosion of privacy jeopardizes our autonomy and changes the way we think, act, and interact in online environments (Acquisti et al 2015). Recent ICT developments, such as the IoT and big data analytics, have further exacerbated security and privacy challenges. Digital addiction takes a toll on public health in many countries around the world. Cyberbullying and abuse disrupt interactions on social networks; more than two-thirds of users aged 13 to 22 have been victimized by cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and online harassment. ICTs have also been criticized for widening economic inequality and deepening the digital divide between the rich and the poor (Crawford et al 2014). Scholarly Contributions Sought: An ICT-enabled Bright Society Academic communities are mindful of the ICT-related economic, legal, and ethical challenges that confront the global society. This Special Issue encourages the submission of research that provides innovative discussions regarding the design, development, and implementation of “bright ICTs” that counter the negative effects of such technologies and help establish a safe and secure society. We welcome both theoretical and empirical works using either quantitative or qualitative methods, including cross-sectional or longitudinal data analyses, field experiments, surveys, case studies, design science approaches, and analytical modeling. The findings should offer novel, theory-based insights into how information technology can be used to protect ICT users and prevent the undesirable consequences of ICT proliferation. Original work based on interdisciplinary research is encouraged. Furthermore, a broad spectrum of approaches to dealing with the risks arising from and solutions to ICTs’ negative effects is welcome. Desired measures include legal and regulatory schemes; economic, business and managerial policies; technological architectures; and societal movements. Special attention will be paid to research findings that shed light on how we, as a global IS community, should use ICTs to build a brighter and safer digital society. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a leading forum for scholars to engage in an intellectual dialogue over the most recent developments on “bright ICT initiatives,” whose implementation has recently been adopted by AIS as its grand vision.
