Objectives & Topics:
====================
Busy lifestyles, abundant options, lack of knowledge ... there are many
reasons why people make poor decisions relating to their health. Yet these
poor decisions are leading to epidemics, which represent some of the
greatest challenges we face as a society today. Noncommunicable Diseases
(NCDs), which include cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory
diseases and diabetes, account for approx. 60% of total premature deaths
worldwide. These diseases share the same four behavioural risk factors:
tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful consumption of
alcohol and can be prevented and sometimes even reversed with simple
lifestyle changes. Eating more healthily, exercising more appropriately,
sleeping and relaxing more, as well as simply being more aware of one's
state of health are all things that would lead to improved health. Yet
knowing exactly what to change and how, implementing changes and
maintaining changes over long time periods are all things people find
challenging. These are also problems, for which we believe recommender
systems can provide assistance by offering specific, tailored suggestions
for behavioural change. In recent years recommender systems for health has
become a popular topic within the RecSys community and a selection of
empirical contributions and demo systems have been published. Efforts to
date, however have been sporadic and lack coordination. We lack shared
infrastructure such as datasets, appropriate cross-disciplinary knowledge,
even agreed upon goals.
It is our aim to use this workshop as a vehicle to:
** Establish the problem as a prominent RecSys topic
** Create a community of researchers who will determine a concrete research
agenda for health in RecSys
** Attract scientists from other domains to RecSys: health (e.g. sports,
nutrition, medicine), psychology, signal processing, wearables, HCI, etc.
** Create new ideas for collaboration, particularly cross-domain
collaborations
** Establish shared infrastructure (datasets and tools)
We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are not
limited to:
** Motivation - increasing motivation, understanding motivation, utilising
psychological models, gamification
** Algorithms for Health Recommendations
** Interfaces - Explanations/Presentation, Feedback, Usability
** Persuasive Design
** Sensors - e.g. activity tracking, context detection, quantified self,
motivation by self assessment
** Mobile devices
** Gamification - e.g. Making exercise or diet fun
** Social Motivation - Inclusion of Social Context, Coactivity and Group
Recommenders
** Knowledge representation - Transfer of domain knowledge to digital
systems
** Ethics - Gap between recommendations and medical advice
** Ease of use - embedding systems into everyday life Learning about health
** User modelling, behavioural analytics and behavioural change
Submissions:
============
We solicit short research papers (up to 4 pages) & short postion papers (up
to 2 pages), both in the ACM conference paper style.
Papers should be submitted in EasyChair to

50th HICSS MINITRACK: Trust, Identity, Trusted systems in Digital Environments
January 4-7, 2017
Hilton Waikoloa Village
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu
Within HICSS Organization Systems and Technology Track, we are organizing a minitrack on Trust, Identity, and Trusted Systems in Digital Environments.
This minitrack explores when and to what degree trust matters, in what form(s), and with which consequences. We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of trust in organizational, inter-organizational, network, and collective contexts. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following:
* Understanding issues of trust and reputation in the context of sharing economy organizations, e.g., in the platform, among platform users, in the organization behind the platform, in financial transactions conducted through the platform.
* Understanding the relationship between an organization's handling of its users' data, e.g., privacy/integrity, use of the cloud, and trust in the organization.
* Understanding the relationship between trust in an organization and trust in the organization's technology-based offerings.
* Understanding how regulation and policy at the national and international levels influence issues of trust and the penetration of technology, e.g., in the financial industry and the sharing economy, and vice versa.
* Understanding the role of trust between users and emerging technologies, e.g., personal robots, smart toys, wearables, 3D printing, self-driving cars and buses, drones.
* Understanding the role of trust in the development of algorithms, e.g., functions, openness of coding, data collection.
* Understanding the activities and narratives that startup organizations in emerging high-technology industries use to build trust and legitimacy in the industry, e.g., users/consumers, incumbents, regulators.
* Understanding the relationship between trust and business models in startup and emerging industries as well as in the commercialization of new technologies by established firms.
* Understanding the relationship between trust and the development and dynamics of self-regulated, decentralized, peer-to-peer networks.
* Understanding the relationships among trust, technology affordances, and institutional logics.
* Understanding the relationship between national culture and institutions and trust in technology and digital environments that know no geographic boundaries.
* Understanding the relationship between trust and control in digital environments.
* Understanding how trust is built, maintained, and repaired when the context is continuously changing.

Betreff: [AISWorld] Technologies for Smart Cities 2016
Datum: Mon, 06 Jun 2016 10:57:09 +0530
Von: diwt(a)dirf.org
An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
First Workshop on "Technologies for Smart Cities"
Colocated with the Fifth International Conference on the Future
Generation Communication Technologies (FGCT 2016)
Luton, (near London). UK
August 17-19, 2016
www.socio.org.uk/fgct
(Technically co-sponsored by IEEE UK & Ireland)
Smart cities enable to improve the traditional networks and services to
become more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication
technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and community. Smart
technologies lead to transform disparate data collected from machines,
embedded systems, and sensors around the city or and turn it into valued
information that helps make the community safe, economically viable and
more efficient. Using this information can help drive improvements to
the way we manage our services. Smartly interconnected platforms make it
easier for people to securely connect and share vital information in
real time. This powerful capability supports intelligent action in the

Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: Information Systems Journal Special Issue on
"Smart Service Systems: An Interdisciplinary Perspective"
Datum: Sun, 5 Jun 2016 11:47:26 +0000

Call for Papers for an Information Systems Journal Special Issue on “Smart Service Systems: An Interdisciplinary Perspective“
Special Issue Editors:
· Daniel Beverungen, University of Paderborn
· Christoph F. Breidbach, University of Melbourne
· Jens Poeppelbuss, University of Bremen
· Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University [corresponding]
Aim and Purpose
Service is a key context for use of information systems (IS), and the need for more research linking information systems research with service has already been established (Rai and Sambamurthy, 2006). Similarly, information systems are a key enabler to many services, and understanding its wider implications emerged as a key research priority for service science (Ostrom, et al., 2010). Over the last few years, both fields explored the intersection of information and communication technology (ICT) and service more broadly. While this resulted in several special issues pertaining to selected aspects of either service (e.g. Huang and Rust, 2013) or ICT (e.g. Barrett et al., 2015), the academic discourse related to technology-enabled service (e.g. Breidbach, et al., 2013) remains fragmented, and is still largely constrained to individual disciplinary silos.
The emerging interdisciplinary field of Service Science intends to weave together disparate theories and methods from multiple disciplines, to develop a scientific foundation for systematic service innovation (Maglio and Breidbach, 2014). Future service innovation, however, will depend on the effective understanding and use of data and technology in service (Maglio, 2015). We currently approach a tipping point where ICTs are beginning to augment the physical with a virtual world, resulting in smart service systems (e.g Medina-Borja, 2015).
For this special issue, we build upon the National Science Foundation (2014, p. 5), and define smart service systems as value co-creating configurations of people, technologies, organizations and information that are capable of independent learning, adapting, and decision-making. Smart service systems, therefore, possess self-detecting, self-diagnosing, self-correcting, self-monitoring, self-organizing, self-replicating, and/or self-controlling functions and capabilities based on data that has been received, transmitted, and/or processed. Smart service systems emerge in contexts as diverse as smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0), smart health, smart mobility, smart logistics or smart living. As the boundaries between a physical world enhanced by ICT, and the service that these systems provide to humans are blurred (e.g. Normann, 2001), new markets and business models emerge (Ng 2014). And with that, substantial opportunities for future research.
As the concepts of service and smartness are beginning to intertwine (e.g. Perera, et al., 2014), understanding smart service systems requires i) adopting a human-centered perspective on service, including novel explorations of human behavior, culture, and attitudes as it pertains to smart service; ii) exploring how new sensors, cognitive computing, or types of artificial intelligence may be implemented into existing service systems, thus transforming those into smart cities, smart health, or smart manufacturing; iii) developing new theories and concepts that advance our knowledge of the dynamics influencing the interactions between actors in smart service systems predict the dynamics of value co-creating interactions in smart service systems.
Addressing these challenges requires researchers to extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. We therefore invite empirical, conceptual, and design-oriented work that explores smart service systems from a truly interdisciplinary service science standpoint. We expect the manuscripts in this special issue to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and, at the same time, be firmly embedded in the emerging service science literature, concepts, and language (e.g. Maglio and Breidbach, 2014; Maglio, 2015). Manuscripts will be evaluated for their interestingness, ability to advance service research and practice and, most importantly, our theoretical understanding of smart service systems. As such, we are not interested in manuscripts that merely apply or extend established concepts and paradigms to service contexts, nor are we interested in manuscripts that remain within the paradigmatic and linguistic boundaries of a single discipline. We therefore encourage scholars from all disciplines and backgrounds to reach beyond their disciplinary silos, and to submit their resulting work to this special issue.
