This trend imposes completely new challenges to software engineers w.r.t. adaptivity, distribution, interaction, system integration, data handling, resiliency, security and software architectures. Software engineering helps to design and develop complex systems by automating the development process concentrating on different levels of abstraction. Model-driven techniques must be established to improve the quality (e.g., re-usability, reliability, maintainability) of the developed wearable systems. Because hardware and software interact tightly, new skills and processes are required when designing and implementing solutions based on wearable devices. In addition, the integration of wearable devices with other smart devices installed in the environment (e.g., sensors in a room) requires that the system architecture is highly dynamic. Therefore, there is a need for a new paradigm of software and system development for wearables in smart rooms, based on sensor nets, fog, and edge computing. This trend suggests establishing a new joint community of researchers from sensor nets and software engineering. The LIFEWEAR workshop aims to bring together researchers and practioneers from the communities interested in wearables, to present current approaches w.r.t. software engineering of wearable devices, gather requirements for future wearable systems and develop a roadmap for software enginnering for wearables. This includes the following research areas ■ Model-driven software development for wearable systems ■ Innovative interaction approaches of humans with wearables ■ Interactions of wearables with machines (e.g., robots) ■ End-user application development ■ Embedding of wearables into a fog or edge of a smart room ■ Sensor data analytics and data aggregation ■ Technical approaches to ensure data security and privacy ■ Total cost of ownership of wearable systems --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission Deadline - January 7th, 2018 Notification - February 11th, 2018 Camera Ready - March 11th, 2018 Workshop - April 12th, 2018 ---------------------- SUBMISSION INFORMATION ---------------------- Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lifewear2018). Submitted papers must conform to the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions to the workshop are possible in two categories: ■ Regular Papers schould describe original work on a problem or solution w.r.t the described topics of interest on up to fifteen pages. ■ Interested workshop participants will have to submit a position paper (two to four pages) containing a description of the area of research, specifc work on the workshop topic, and the innovative character of the research.

The digital transformation means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in various domains. In general, Digital Transformation can be defined as an integration of digital technology into all areas of business, resulting in fundamental changes to how businesses operate and how they deliver value to their customers. The BIS Conference traditionally has focused on actual trends of development, implementation and application of business information systems in different domains. Thus, to continue this tradition, the upcoming edition of BIS will focus on the Digital Transformation that affects both individual businesses and whole domains, such as e.g. administration, communication, art, medicine, healthcare, finance and science. The Digital Transformation is described as "the total and overall societal effect of digitalization". Digitization has enabled the process of digitalization, which resulted in transformation of existing business models, socio-economic structures, legal and policy measures, organizational patterns, cultural barriers, etc. There are a number of reasons why businesses undergo Digital Transformation. The main argument is that they simply have to. With the evolving business markets, companies that want to succeed must understand how to apply technology to support strategical decisions and realise the visions. However, there are many ways how it may be achieved. Thus, the BIS 2018 Conference wants to drive the discussion of Digital Transformation related to problems, challenges and opportunities for today’s business markets. We invite researchers and business practitioners to present and publish their latest research results. Our goal is to enable sharing theoretical and practical knowledge of ongoing Digital Transformation activities and thus to inspire researchers to think outside the box. We hope that the inspirations from the Conference will lead to further innovations being the next stage of Digital Transformation. ====================================================================== CONFERENCE TOPICS ====================================================================== Topics include (but are not limited to): Big and Smart Data and Artifical Intelligence * data science and digital transformation * smart machines, artifical intelligence, and cognitive computing in business systems and applications * business intelligence * linked (open) data * knowledge representation and reasoning * big data analytics * real-time big data analysis and streaming analytics / stream reasoning * standards, data models, and business models for big & smart data * corporate semantic web and semantic web applications * digital curation technologies * data and information quality * information extraction and information retrieval * sentiment analysis, emotion mining * data integration from Web information sources * modelling and describing evolving data sources * information gathering for supporting knowledge-intensive enterprises Business and Enterprise Modelling * requirements for enterprise modelling * modelling of enterprise architecture * quality of enterprise models * change management * enterprise modelling theory * enterprise modelling practice, case studies, and action research * decision modelling * governance, risk, and compliance modelling * standards, conceptualizations, notations, and ontologies * business design patterns * business models and (open) innovation ICT Project Management * tools and techniques * stakeholder and user management * effort, time, and cost estimation * resources management * risk management * quality management * global and virtual development teams Process Management * (semantic) business process management * event-driven busines process management * adaptive and dynamic processes * supply chain processes * scientific workflows in a business context * ERP implementations * integration of data and processes * collaborative BPM * value chain design * business rules, decision models, and decision management * complex event processing Smart Infrastructures * cloud computing * fog and edge computing * security and privacy * (micro) services architectures * sensor systems * software-defined infrastructures * smart ledger / blockchain * agent systems and collective intelligence * internet of things and cyber-physical systems * industry 4.0 Social Media and Web-based Business Information Systems * social CRM * social user experience * social media in business * social media and privacy * social media analytics * social network analytics * social computing * social sentimental analysis * communities and crowedsourcing * social semantic web and pragmatic web * web/social web/distributed search * personalized search and recommendation * user interfaces and human computer interaction Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences * smart cities * smart manufacturing * e-business * e-health * e-government * business related e-science * mobile applications * industry specific applications * future directions and interdiciplinary relations ====================================================================== SUBMISSION ====================================================================== BIS 2018 proceedings are planned to be published as a volume in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series by Springer Verlag. http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-450209-0 Information for LNBIP authors may be found at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0 Submission: http://bis.ue.poznan.pl/bis2018/submission-guidelines/ * language of publication: English * paper must not exceed 12 LNBIP pages (including abstract and references)* * please include a 100-word abstract at the beginning of the paper, which clearly presents the achievement or contribution of the paper * please include 4-7 keywords best describing your paper * we understand that you submit your original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere, and that you agree to publish your work when it is accepted by the Program Committee;

The broader use of agile methods leads to intensive organizational change activities that aim at improving agility as a core discipline of the digital enterprise. The transformation has an impact on all levels of the organization including the individual, the end-user, and the customer. Other non-IT functions get increasingly in touch with agile principles and practices. While enterprises are experimenting with the extended use of the agile way of working, research has mainly analyzed the ongoing change from a software development perspective. For this minitrack, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, individual, and managerial challenges of scaling and extending the use of agile methods. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ You can find the paper submission guidelines and template here: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/ Important dates: - January 2018: System opens for general paper submissions - February 28, 2018: Deadline for paper submissions - April 17, 2018: Notification of initial decision on submitted papers - TBD: Deadline for camera-ready revisions - TBD: Notification of decision on revised camera-ready papers Minitrack Co-chairs: - Andreas Drechsler, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand - Bettina Horlach, University of Hamburg, Germany -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] New AMCIS minitrack - The Controversial Information Technologies Datum: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 13:27:04 -0500 Von: Isaac Vaghefi <svaghefi(a)binghamton.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Controversial Information Technologies (CIT) such as smartphones, social media, videogames, and cloud computing are perceived as having the potential to both benefit and damage the well-being of the user. On one hand, CIT use can benefit users, organizations, and the society by improving productivity, performance, and satisfaction. On the other hand, CIT use can also result in negative and often unplanned outcomes, rendering them a double-edged sword. CIT includes a wide range of information systems that we use today; some examples include social networking sites that can be both beneficial and harmful for the user, emails that despite their flexibility and connectivity benefits can also be interruptive for the work, and algorithmic and biometrics systems that despite their benefits toward productivity, can be source of concerns given the amount and type of information they collect from users. While nominal IT use have received extensive attention in IS research, CIT adoption, use, and consequences have been largely ignored. This mini-track provides a forum for the exchange of research ideas to shed light on issues related to CIT’s adoption and use, various behaviors users may exhibit when using CIT, and consequences of using CIT for individuals and organizations. Isaac Vaghefi, svaghefi(a)binghamton.edu Hamed Qahri-Saremi, hqahrisa(a)depaul.edu Shamel Addas, shamel.addas(a)queensu.ca The minitrack submission is due at the end of Feb 18. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

With the growing volume of big data that has been provided by interconnected devices (e.g., Internet-of-Things), collaborative platforms (e.g., social media), and information systems, the information at hand has a great potential for transforming the entire business process, as well as for improving the accuracy of business decisions. Challenges here rely on understanding how digital transformations (e.g., changes in organizations’ business processes, models, end-users’ requirements, and information systems) are influenced, impacted, and modified by big data produced within and outside organizations. This mini-track invites studies centered on exploring challenges and opportunities that emerge from the interplay between digital transformation and existing big data. Conceptual, theoretical, technological, methodological, empirical contributions are encouraged, as well as research papers employing different methodologies, e.g., design-oriented research, case studies, and action research.* *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:===================================================* Business process models for digital transformation and big data* Modelling the interplay of digital transformation and big data * Information systems and big data sources * Interoperability of information systems and big data sources for digital transformation* Challenges in digital transformation and big data * Opportunities for digital transformation and big data * Information systems for digital transformation and big data* Designing and modeling information systems for digital transformation and big data * Information systems architectures for digital transformation and big data * Information systems integration for digital transformation and big data * End-user perspectives in digital transformation and big data * ** Systematic reviews, mapping studies and survey research * ** Case studies / lessons learned / empirical resultsSubmissions Guidelines===================================================http://amcis20… <http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/>Minitrack Co-Chairs:=============Dr João Porto de AlbuquerqueUniversity of Warwick, United Kingdomj.porto(a)warwick.ac.uk <j.porto(a)warwick.ac.uk>Dr Flávio E.
