TRACK: Public value creation and innovation in government
Track Chairs:
Bram Klievink (Delft University of Technology - a.j.klievink_at_tudelft.nl),
Panos Panagiotopoulos (Queen Mary University of London), and
Antonio Cordella (London School of Economics)
The range of digital innovations in government has grown impressively from operational efficiency, e-services and participation, to big, open and new forms of data. Although often treated in isolation, true value creation comes from integrating these. Yet, significant and sustainable gains cannot be realised due to gaps in readiness and roles, a lack of capabilities and resources, or other organisational and institutional misalignments.
Public organisations thus cannot always deliver the values that are expected of them, because they do not have or cannot acquire the necessary tools and capabilities. For this track we are interested in integrative perspectives on value creation through various socio-technical innovations in government. We specifically look for studies either on developing and acquiring capabilities internally in the organisation, or on how government organisations can develop new organisational configurations that allow them to (externally) acquire these capabilities, for example through co-creation and other collaborative arrangements.
The track welcomes both short and full papers. The chairs are planning a Special Issue in Government Information Quarterly on public value creation in digital government (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/government-information-quarterly/call-for…).
Keywords: organisational configurations, value (co-)creation, capabilities, innovation

*International Journal of Big Data and Analytics in Healthcare** (IJBDAH)*
Special issue on
Emerging Practice and Policy of Big Bata Use in Healthcare (
https://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/international-journal-b…
)
DEADLINE: February 28, 2018.
Guest editors
Dr. Adnan Mustafa AlBar, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia (
ambar(a)kau.edu.sa )
Dr. Md. Rakibul Hoque, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh (rakibul(a)du.ac.bd)
The increased use of eHealth, mHealth and the Internet of Things (IoT) in
developing countries is generating massive amounts of useful data. Such use
of online-based technologies by the population has decreased the cost of
aggregating data electronically in developing countries and widen the
scopes of big data practice in the healthcare sector. Considering the
larger population size in the developing countries, population-based
research in the healthcare system and industry using big data analytics
would bridge the gap in understating how to improve and optimize health
services through gaining newer insights. Beside the scopes of efficient and
optimized healthcare service functions, big data also offers potential
possibilities to aid in minimizing the budgetary waste in healthcare
expenditure in the poor and developing countries. However, in many cases,
the promise of big data is found to be constricted due to lack of
well-versed legislation and governmental supports in developing countries.
The diffusion of online technology in developing countries offers promising
opportunities to not only improved and optimized healthcare services for
the disadvantaged people but also for the prevention of the spread of
particular diseases in vulnerable areas. Although the practice of big data
in developing countries is relatively complex for lack of infrastructure,
skills, and supports, it could lead to big improvements in the planning and
materialization of healthcare interventions. Research shows that the use of
big data in developing countries is relatively new and the subsequent
improvement in healthcare delivery there is still very little. Therefore,
it is important to know about the impacts of users’ perceptions and
concerns about privacy and trust in collecting data for big data practice,
and as well as, the current development in forming new government policies
to avail the maximum benefits of big data practice in healthcare in
developing countries.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
The objective of this special issue is to collectively bring leading
research in the application, governance and adoption strategies for the use
of big data in healthcare in developing countries. With developing
countries in focus, this particular issue seeks papers on different
methods, frameworks, applications, and theories related to big data
practice. In this process, this issue would include the papers that
investigate the practice of big data in electronic health records,
diagnosis of disease, healthcare management, and the related concerns of
security, privacy and trust in social, economic, cultural and governmental
policy contexts that exist in developing countries. Manuscripts that would
appropriately follow research methods to distinctively contribute to the
understanding of effective big data practice in developing countries
through case studies, theoretical, practical, and conceptual frameworks
will be received for publication. This special issue would contribute to
the identification and dissemination of the best studies from the scholars,
and ultimately help in deploying big data practice in healthcare to achieve
the related millennium and sustainable development goals in developing
countries. In this regard, this special issue covers the following topics,
but not limited to, in the context of developing countries.
· Big data for electronic health records
· Users’ perspective of security, privacy and trust in big data
analytics.
· Big data applications in context-sensitive targeted populations
· Big data enabled user studies in decision making in healthcare
· Mobile applications and infrastructure technologies in big data
application.
· Evaluation of impact of big data application on modernized
healthcare
· Theoretical constructs, models, architectures and
conceptualizations for big data application
· Location Based big data application for citizen, professionals
and organizations
· Social, cultural, legislative and economical barriers in big data
practice
· Big data for cost minimization in healthcare delivery
· Big data applications in healthcare by the government and its
policies
· Big data for chorionic patient management and disease outbreak
management

==========================================================================
International Workshop on
Semantics in the Deep: Semantic Analytics for Big Data
(SEDSEAL 2018)
URL: https://sedseal2018.ceid.upatras.gr
in conjunction with the
14th International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations
(AIAI 2018)
May 25-27, 2018, Rhodes, Greece
==========================================================================
****************************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
****************************************************************************
==============
AIMS AND SCOPE
==============
Recent advances in availability of information on the Internet, storage
space
and web generated content have paved the way for the advent of Big Data.
The
well-known 4 Vs (Velocity, Variety, Volume, Value) that characterize Big
Data
can find a match in intelligent ways for management, manipulation and
value-
extraction. It is widely acknowledged that the recent surge in AI and
especially
machine learning is exactly due to these advancements. The Semantic Web can
offer a well-studied, although ever advancing, toolbox that can address Big
Data
requirements and contribute towards their meaningful analysis. Still, there
are
often issues that need to be tackled with like bootstrapping, efficiency
and
standardized business processes for semantic analytics to achieve
satisfactory
results. To this end, machine- and deep-learning techniques, while being
shunned
in the past, have been shown to have considerable contributions towards Big
Data
analytics and to overcome Semantic Web inherent limitations.
Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners to look deeper into how Semantic Web technologies can
contribute
towards Big Data analytics. This can be achieved either by extracting value
out
of these data (through reasoning), creating sustainable ontology models,
offering a solid foundation for deploying learning techniques or anything
in
between.
==================
TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
Indicative topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited
to:
- Ontologies for big data
- Semantic applications in big data domains including open datasets, linked
data, scholarly information, e-learning, economics, insurance, sensors,
bioinformatics
- Reasoning approaches for knowledge extraction
- Ontology learning
- Topic modeling
- Linked Data
- NLP and word embedding
- Semantic deep learning
- Semantic lakes
- OBDA approaches for big data access
- Evaluation techniques
- Ontologies as training sets
- Ontology evolution and learning feedback
- Scalability issues
================
PAPER SUBMISSION
================
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the above and
related topics are solicited. Authors should submit a paper with up to 10
pages
(in English) in single-column Springer format following the Springer IFIP
AICT
format guidelines. Submissions must be in electronic form as PDF files
and should be uploaded at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sedseal2018.
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 independent members of
the
program committee.
At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered and present
the
paper at the workshop. All accepted papers will be included in the
conference
proceedings and published in the Springer IFIP AICT (Advances in
Information and
Communication Technology series). Extended versions of selected workshop
papers
will be considered for publication in international journals.
