-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2016 MWAIS Conference - Bigger, Smarter, Safer: Game Changers for Information Systems Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 16:09:53 +0000 Von: Aretha Wright <aretha(a)aisnet.org> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Bigger, Smarter, Safer: Game Changers for Information Systems Organizations face a convergence of game changing technologies: big data, ubiquitous sensors and actuators combined with advanced analytics result in algorithms that can model, adapt, predict and act autonomously in a connected world. Such algorithms can approve loans, replenish inventory, trade stocks, control traffic flow, detect anomaly-based intrusions, drive cars, monitor health and administer drugs, manage energy consumption, predict crime hot spots, write news articles, and make recruitment and retrenchment decisions. The increasingly powerful role of algorithms driven by big data in both industry and government also leads to questions about security, privacy, surveillance and algorithmic accountability, among others. This conference will explore how organizations can - and do - learn, adapt and innovate to respond more effectively, efficiently, rapidly and responsibly to changing circumstances using bigger data, smarter analytics and safer security. The Midwest United States Association for Information Systems (MWAIS) is a Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) serving Midwest US members of AIS. The states served by this Chapter include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The goal of the Chapter is to promote the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge among scholars and professionals in the Midwest US engaged in the development, management, and use of information and communications systems and technology. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the School of Information Studies are proud to be the host of the 11th Annual MWAIS conference!

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of JITT: Disruptive Innovations Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 10:29:22 +0000 Von: Delic Amra <amra.delic(a)tuwien.ac.at> Antwort an: Delic Amra <amra.delic(a)tuwien.ac.at> An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> *CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of JITT: Disruptive Innovations* Guest editors: Giampaolo Viglia, Hannes Werthner and Dimitrios Buhalis The diffusion of disrupting innovations has generated significant market changes, modifying the dominant logic. This structural change is affecting the organizational networks and the services tourism players are supposed to use to perform well in markets (and be efficient). This disruptive change affects the whole tourism and hospitality industry: relationships between players change as their respective roles change; this is driven by e-commerce / e-business and disruptive innovation. For instance hotels, thanks to e-business technological platforms, can now use algorithms to set yield and revenue management strategies, monitor competition in real time and allow consumers to use mobile devices to access several services. In the tourism industry, many innovations have been initiated from companies in the information technology sector. Generally, Information technology is revolutionizing products, services and markets. The aim of this Special Issue is to promote new theoretical and empirical research on disruptive innovation for tourism, understanding how and why the changes happened (theory building), as well as providing cases for the respective arguments. TOPICS OF INTEREST The major topics of interest focus on disruptive innovation and their role within the Tourism experience and industry. They include but are not limited to: - Structural changes to the industry (e.g.: dematerialization, smartness, new forms of accommodations, disruptive technologies, mobile, etc.) - New market structures and network relations as well as new roles of tourism players - Diffusion issues - Operators’ challenges (e.g.: forecasting the future demand, aggregations, smart statistics to support change, identifying competitor set) - Incremental innovation versus disruptive innovation (e.g., going beyond traditional business, traditional markets exploring not well understood problems) - How smart and connected Products are transforming competition - Contextual issues (sectorial differences as well as regional differences; competition vs oligopoly) *SUBMISSION* Papers are required no later than*June 30th 2016* Notification of outcome will be provided by August 30th 2016 Final papers should be submitted by October 15th 2016 Please submit manuscripts through the Springer online system (if you are a new author to the system you will be required to create a system login). https://www.editorialmanager.com/jitt Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. The journal imposes no hard limits on the paper length as long as what authors write is important. Submissions that exceed 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) should however be accompanied by a short justification as to why a briefer discussion of their research results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP IEEE Software Theme Issue on Crowdsourcing for Software Engineering Datum: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 19:11:58 +0000 Von: Klaas-Jan.Stol <Klaas-Jan.Stol(a)ul.ie> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ===================================================================== C A L L F O R P A P E R S IEEE Software - Theme Issue on Crowdsourcing for Software Engineering https://www.computer.org/web/computingnow/swcfp2 ===================================================================== Submission Deadline: 1 August 2016 Publication: March/April 2017 Crowdsourcing is increasingly revolutionizing the ways in which software is engineered. Developers increasingly crowdsource answering their questions through Q&A sites such as StackOverflow. Non- programmers can contribute human-intelligence to development projects, by, for example, usability testing software or even playing games with a purpose to implicitly construct formal specifications. Crowdfunding helps to democratize decisions about what software to build. Software engineering researchers can even benefit from new opportunities to evaluate their work with real developers by recruiting developers from the crowd. This IEEE Software theme issue on Crowdsourcing for Software Engineering solicits experience reports, research studies, surveys, tutorials and papers on tools and techniques that use crowdsourcing to solve software engineering problems, or demonstrate how crowdsourcing can enrich software engineers¹ work practice. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * use of crowdsourcing to ³source² software (for instance, as an alternative to outsourcing) with considerations relating to task decomposition, coordination, scheduling and quality; * any aspect of software engineering including development, testing, design, and requirements with a crowd; * sustainability of crowdsourcing and crowds addressing factors such as motivation, burnout, and building relationships with and within crowds; * ethics, fairness, privacy, and security aspects of crowdsourcing; * creativity and innovation in crowds; * gamification of tasks to increase participation in tasks; * participation models including factors such as competition, collaboration, transparency, customer participation, and crowdsourcing as ³flash mobs² for development; * remuneration and pricing mechanisms; * Q&A platforms such as StackOverflow; * best practices for ³customers² and ³suppliers²; * internal crowdsourcing models (for application within organizations); * governance and control mechanisms for crowds; * scaling crowdsourcing to dependable large-scale software development; * boundaries and limits of software crowdsourcing; and * characteristics of software development crowds ‹ who is the crowd, where do they come from, when do they work, and why do they participate? For more information about the focus, contact the guest editors: * Klaas-Jan Stol, Lero / University of Limerick, klaas-jan.stol(a)lero.ie * Thomas LaToza, George Mason University, tlatoza(a)gmu.edu * Christian Bird, Microsoft Research, christian.bird(a)microsoft.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Manuscripts must not exceed 4,700 words including figures and tables, which count for 250 words each. Submissions over these limits may be rejected without refereeing. Articles deemed within the theme and scope will be peer reviewed and subject to editing for magazine style, clarity, organization, and space. Submissions should include the special issue¹s name. Articles should be novel, have a practical orientation, and be written in a style accessible to practitioners. Overly complex, purely research-oriented, or theoretical treatments aren¹t appropriate. IEEE Software doesn¹t republish material published previously in other venues. To submit an article: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sw-cs (Please select ³SI:crowdsourcing4SE² as submission type).

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: "Access (or Sharing) Economy" Minitrack at the 50th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2017)
by Gustaf Neumann 30 Mar '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: "Access (or Sharing) Economy" Minitrack at the 50th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2017) Datum: Sun, 27 Mar 2016 20:39:27 -1000 Von: Bo Xiao <boxiao(a)hawaii.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-50 2017 Minitrack: Access (or Sharing) Economy (Collaboration Systems and Technology track) Sharing is ingrained in the fabric of society and efficient access to goods and services constitutes a major force driving much of the economic activity today. With greater connectivity brought about by the proliferation of internetworking technologies, it has become much easier for individuals to circumvent spatial and temporal barriers during interactions, thereby giving rise to a novel access (or sharing) economy that is structured around the disintermediation of conventional channels of commerce in the exchange of both tangible and intangible resources. The access (or sharing) economy has gained notable attention within mainstream media as a new economic paradigm that leverages peer-to-peer technological platforms to facilitate exchange of resources among individuals who are joined via fluid relational networks. Almost overnight, numerous peer-to-peer platforms in the likes of crowd-working (e.g., Airbnb, Uber, Amazon Mechanic Turk, E-Lance, Fiverr), co-innovation (e.g., Mindmixer, Social Innovator), crowd-funding (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo), crowd-searching (e.g., Crowdfynd, CrowdSearching), and crowd-voting (e.g., California Report Card, Threadless) have sprung up to facilitate both individuals and/or organizations to pool resources in resolving problems. While there are many practitioners who have prophesized the access (or sharing) economy as a game-changer for how organizations and society function, there are also a number of detractors who questioned the uncertain and potentially disruptive future that is brought about by such peer-to-peer exchanges. Critics have painted a dismal picture of the access (or sharing) economy as a means for individuals and/or firms to dodge proper regulations and live beyond their means, which in turn contributes to doomsday scenarios of massive job displacements and spending habits detrimental to society. In light of the opportunities and challenges posed by the access (or sharing) economy, there is a clear urgency for a systematic and thorough scrutiny of how value creation and appropriation can take place within such economic environments while minimizing its negative impact to society. This minitrack embraces both retrospective and progressive views of how the access (or sharing) economy has evolved and would transform with technological advances. We welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in how emergent technologies are shaping the access and sharing of resources within online peer-to-peer communities. Papers that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -- Collaborative consumption and production in access (or sharing) economy -- Crowdfunding and communal investment -- Crowdsourcing and open innovation -- Crowd platform strategies -- Data privacy and security in access access (or sharing) economy -- Design and innovation of crowd platforms -- Digital business models of access access (or sharing) economy -- Digital labor markets and workforce management in access (or sharing) economy -- Disruptive innovation in access (or sharing) economy -- Market mechanics of access (or sharing) economy -- Policy formulation for access (or sharing) economy -- Reputation and trust in access (or sharing) economy -- Social network in access (or sharing) economy -- Socio-economic and political challenges of access (or sharing) economy -- Value appropriation in access (or sharing) economy MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS: Bo Sophia Xiao Information Technology Management Department Shidler College of Business University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Honolulu, HI, USA Tel: +1 (808) 956-7368 Fax: +1 (808) 956-9889 Email: boxiao(a)hawaii.edu Website: http://shidler.hawaii.edu/directory/bo-sophia-xiao/itm Eric Lim School of Information Systems, Technology and Management Australian School of Business University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia Tel: +61 (2) 9385-4688 Fax: +61 (2) 9662-4061 Email: e.t.lim(a)unsw.edu.au Website: http://www.asb.unsw.edu.au/schools/Pages/eric-t-k-lim.aspx Chee-Wee Tan Department of IT Management Copenhagen Business School Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Denmark Tel: +45 3815-4460 Email: cta.itm(a)cbs.dk Website: http://www.cbs.dk/en/staff/ctaitm IMPORTANT DATES: *June 15 (11:59 pm, Hawaii Time): Deadline to submit full manuscripts for review. *August 16: Acceptance/Rejection notification will be sent to authors. *September 4: Submission deadline for papers accepted with mandatory changes.

At the same time, systems are be‐ coming more decentralized, with components that represent autono‐ mous entities who must communicate among themselves to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems range from healthcare and emergency relief and disaster management to e‐business and smarts grids. A multiagent worldview is crucial to properly conceptual‐ izing, building, and governing such systems. It offers abstrac‐ tions such as intelligent agent, protocol, norm, organization, trust, incentive, and so on, and is rooted in solid computational and software engineering foundations. As a large but still grow‐ ing research field of Computer Science, multiagent systems today remains a unique enabler of interdisciplinary research. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Submission - main track and special track* ----------------------------------------------------------------- The PRIMA 2016 Program Committee invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and applied work strongly relevant to multiagent systems, including reports on the development of pro‐ totype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments that demon‐ strate novel agent system capabilities. An indicative list of topics is provided below. For 2016, there will be Social Science special track that will be handled by Michael Mäs (University of Groningen). Accepted papers of this track will be offered a fast‐ track in JASSS. Papers should be at most 16 pages in length in the Springer LNCS format.
