Best regards from Vienna, Andreas -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: PQ 2017 - Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 14:53:42 +0000 Von: Leopold, H. <h.leopold(a)vu.nl> An: W. M. P. van der Aalst <w.m.p.v.d.aalst(a)tue.nl> Dear PC members of the Process Querying Workshop, Please find the Call for Papers for the Process Querying Workshop 2017 below. We would be happy if you could forward the call to interested colleagues. Thank you, Artem, Arthur, Henrik, Lucineia, and Pablo =============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS - PQ 2017 (to be held in conjunction with BPM 2017) The 2nd International Workshop on Process Querying Barcelona, Spain, September 11, 2017 http://processquerying.com/pq2017/ =============================================================================== The Second International Workshop on Process Querying (PQ 2017) aims to provide a high quality forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on technologies and practices in the area of process querying. Process-related information grows exponentially in organizations via workflows, guided procedures, business transactions, Internet applications, real-time device interactions, and other coordinative applications underpinning commercial operations. Event logs, application databases, process models, and business process repositories capture a wide range of process data, e.g., activity sequences, document exchanges, interactions with customers, resource collaborations, and records on product routing and service delivery. Process querying studies automated methods for managing, e.g., filtering or manipulating, repositories of models of observed and envisioned processes, as well as their relationships, with the goal of converting process-related information into decision making capabilities. Process querying research spans a range of topics from theoretical studies of algorithms and the limits of computability of process querying techniques to practical issues of implementing process querying technologies in software. Special theme: Ontologies for Process Management Research combining process models and ontologies is increasingly gaining attention in recent years. One reason for this is that ontologies allow adding semantics to process models, which enables the automated inference of knowledge from business processes. This knowledge can be used to manage business processes at design and execution time. Hence, the goal of the special theme is to promote research on the application of ontologies to generate new or improve existing methods, techniques, tools, and process-aware systems that support the different phases of the business process management life cycle. **** WORKSHOP TOPICS **** The main topics relevant to the PQ workshop include, but are not limited to: - Behavioral and structural methods for process querying - Imperative and declarative process querying methods - Exact and approximate process querying methods - Expressiveness of process querying methods - Decidability and complexity of process querying methods - Process query languages and notations - Indexing for fast process querying - Empirical evaluation and validation of process querying methods - Label management in process querying - Information retrieval methods in process querying - Process querying of big (process) data - Automatic management of process models, e.g., process model repair - Automatic management of process model collections - Event log querying - Event stream querying - Process performance querying - Multi-perspective process querying methods, e.g., querying process resources, data, etc. - Process querying and rich ontology annotations - Applications of process querying methods for process compliance, standardization, reuse, etc. - Experience reports from implementations of process querying tools - Case studies in process querying **** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS **** Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers HICSS-51 (2018) MT: Open digital services and platforms Datum: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 08:02:33 +0000 Von: Rossi Matti <matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi> An: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences HICSS-51: January 3-6, 2018| Hilton Waikoloa Village Call for Papers HICSS-51 (2018): Open digital services and platforms Track Decision Analytics, Mobile Technologies and Service Science track Deadline for submissions: June 15, 2017 Website: www.hicss.hawaii.edu How does the value provided by open digital services disrupt markets and advance digitalization? Open digital services and platforms are no longer a novelty, and their importance for individuals, organizations as well as societies is expected to grow fast. As the available service stack grows, we can see the proliferation of innovation on many areas (e.g. traffic, news, payments, and most recently finance). New platforms and platform technologies, such as blockchain, offer new open source-based opportunities for developing radically new digital services. In the case of blockchain it can be about replacing private trust services with an open mode or providing new very low cost and instant money transfer services. Also for example sharing economy services (such as, Airbnb and TaskRabbit) build on the “open” phenomena and practices, including technology (open source platforms, such as Docker) and markets (open participation and access). We seek novel research describing open services, service systems or service platforms. The submissions can be research papers, case studies, or practitioner reports related to open service development and their implications. We are especially interested on research related to the emergence of open services and open platforms in business ecosystems as well research that follows up whether and how anticipated commercial success materializes and is measured. Answering these questions is pivotal from the perspectives of business research and policy making. Studies employing design research as well as either qualitative or quantitative research methods are all welcomed. The minitrack provides a venue to present findings and, to debate the future of these digital open services and platforms. Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to): • Blockchain and other open platform technologies • Business models of open digital services • Novel approaches to development of open data applications • Business value of open data services and service systems • Aggregation of open and proprietary data • Location and sensor data based services • Open data and service infrastructures • Privacy issues related to open data services • Openness in digital service platforms (e.g. sharing economy) Mini-Track Chairs: Juho Lindman (Primary Contact) University of Gothenburg/Chalmers juho lindman at ait.gu.se Matti Rossi Aalto University School of Business matti.rossi at aalto.fi Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen Aalto University School of Business virpi.tuunainen at aalto.fi Matti Rossi President-elect Association for Information Systems Professor of Information Systems Science Aalto University School of Business P.O.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Robustness Injection into Business Processes (MRI-BP) Datum: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 11:09:41 +1000 Von: Claudio Di Ciccio <claudio(a)diciccio.net> Antwort an: claudio.di.ciccio(a)wu.ac.at An: ipm(a)wu.ac.at Kopie (CC): Claudio Di Ciccio <claudio.di.ciccio(a)wu.ac.at> Dear colleagues, To whom it may concern, Please find below the Call for Paper of 3rd International Workshop on Robustness Injection into Business Processes (MRI-BP), co-located with MCETECH in in Ottawa, Canada (www.mcetech.org <http://www.mcetech.org>). Should you have ongoing research work in the field, please consider submitting your paper to this workshop. Your contribution is very welcome. Best regards, Claudio Di Ciccio ------- Call for papers 3rd International Workshop on Robustness Injection into Business Processes (MRI-BP) In conjunction with MCETECH International Conference, Ottawa, Canada. May 17th, 2017 Abstract submission: March 24th Full paper submission: March 31st ------- Within the area of business processes, trends for BAM (Business Activity Monitoring), BOM (Business Operations Management), BPI (Business Process Intelligence), and CEP (Complex Event Processing) are increasingly becoming an essential part of organizations’ arsenals for verifying that their operations are happening within defined boundaries, responding to deviations, and keeping up with a dynamic, open, and competitive business environment in which business processes are no longer monolithic. This modern nature of business processes brings about challenges in that transactions are distributed, take different paths, involve the coordination of multiple people, machines, and services, and require data/business artifacts to construct a business context from different tiers. While there may be a single—or a few—happy path(s)/process(es), a robust e-business application needs to accommodate various failure points arising from people’s unavailability, service failures, business rule changes, human mistakes, or simply changes of plan. One may leverage business process specification languages that offer a structured mechanism for exception handling. An effort then has to be spent during process modeling for these exceptional situations to be enumerated and their management processes to be specified. Naturally, these what-if scenarios usually mobilize the bulk of the business analysis and development effort. Further, business analysts and developers have little guidance in designing and implementing those processes. Even if analysts can put safeguards for these scenarios in place, some exceptions cannot be predicted until they happen, and their consequences may be severe. Mechanisms to roll back or compensate for the exceptions’ effects need to be put in place. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in business process robustness and in methodologies for injecting robustness artifacts and mechanisms (exception handling activities, service level agreements, compensation processes, etc.) in process models through assistive or automated techniques. The workshop seeks contributions that have used reasoning on process semantics, discovery of process attributes (performance, organizational), proactive BAM models, and process repair and extension, for the purpose of enhancing the resilience of a process model or of the modeling process. ** Workshop Background ** The first two editions took place in Vancouver (2013) and Montreal (2015) and were a great success. Indeed, many interesting and high quality papers were presented and we received twice the Best Workshop Paper Award from EDOC (2013) and MCETECH (2015) conferences. We were also glad to welcome field leaders as keynote speakers as the author Thomas Erl, and Keith Swenson who is leading the field of Case Management. Building on this success, MRI-BP’2017 seeks to consolidate the event by creating a community of researchers and industrials alike to discuss current approaches and research problems and expose visionary ideas related to business process robustness. ** Important Dates ** The workshop will take place along with the MCETECH’2017 international conference in Ottawa, Canada (www.mcetech.org <http://www.mcetech.org>). The workshop assigned date is May 17th, 2017. • Abstract Submission: March 24th, 2017 • Paper Submission: March 31st, 2017 • Paper Notification: April 14-18th, 2017 • Camera Ready Copy: May 1st, 2017 • Workshop: May 17th, 2017 @ 8:30am ** Main Topics ** The areas for contribution include, but are not limited to, the following: • Resilient processes / Process flexibility • Reasoning and semantics of business processes • Ontological frameworks for contingency inference • Assistive techniques for robust process modeling • Exception handling & compensation mechanisms • Process enhancement through repair and extension • Business transaction management • Process mining • Improving scope of BAM techniques • Business process analytics • Correlation of events within process data • Monitoring and exception handling in data-centric business processes • Process recovery mechanisms ** Submission Guidelines ** Three types of papers are solicited: • Short papers (up to 6 pages) discussing controversial issues in the field or describing interesting or thought-provoking ideas sensibly argued; • PhD Papers (up to 4 pages) describing a PhD thesis in progress; • Full papers (up to 10 pages) presenting contributions that solve open research issues in the filed, as well as the theoretical and/or preliminary empirical evaluations.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: CBI 2017 with BISE Journal fast track and CSIMQ Journal Special Issue Datum: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 08:24:21 +0100 Von: Kornyshova Elena <elena.kornyshova(a)cnam.fr> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Apologies for multiple copies] Call for Papers 19^th IEEE International Conference on *Business Informatics (CBI'17)*** *24-27 July 2017, Thessaloniki, Greece *Abstract Submission deadline: 20 March 2017 Paper submission deadline: 26 March 2017 http://conferences.cwa.gr/cbi2017 Scope Business Informatics is the scientific discipline targeting information processes and related phenomena in their socio-economical business context, including companies, organisations, administrations and society in general. As a field of study, it endeavours to take a systematic and analytic approach in adopting a multi-disciplinary orientation that draws theories and practices from the fields of management science, organisational science, computer science, systems engineering, information systems, information management, social science, and economics information science. The IEEE CBI 2017 is aimed at creating a forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields that contribute to the construction, use and maintenance of information systems and the organisational context in which they are embedded. To this end, CBI 2017 welcomes submissions from the diverse spectrum of fields that underpin the field of 'business informatics'. Submissions may fall into one of three categories: ·*/Research papers/*describing original research contributions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual). ·*/Practice papers/*discussing problems or challenges that organisations (private or public) face, relate them to the wider domain and provide useful insights to practitioners from similar organisations and contexts. ·*/Visionary papers/*introducing new ideas and directions for research by analysing the current state of the art, identifying the gaps and issues that need to addressed, introducing an approach as a potential means to bridge the gaps.

Such IoT things are often owned by different organizations and people who are deploying and using them for their own purposes. Federations of such IoT devices (referred to as IoT things) can also deliver timely and accurate information that is needed to solve internet-scale problems that have been too difficult to tackle before. To realize its enormous potential, IoT must provide IoT solutions for discovering needed IoT devices, collecting and integrating their data, and distilling the high value information each application needs. Such IoT solutions must be capable of filtering, aggregating, correlating, and contextualising IoT information in real- time, on the move, in the cloud, and securely and must be capable of introducing data-driven changes to the physical world. The IoTCA Workshop solicits paper submissions and aims to bring together researchers and application developers working on the intersection of IoT with distributed, cloud, internet, mobile, ambient, semantic, real-time, secure and privacy-preserving computing.

De Silva, D., Burstein, F., & Vogel, D. (2017). Editorial - Participatory Health Information Systems: Theory and Applications. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1523 Schwartz, D., Bellou, A., Garcia-Castrillo, L., Muraro, A., & Papadopoulos, N. (2017). Exploring mHealth Participation for Emergency Response Communities. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1378 Abstract We explore the challenges of participation by members of emergency response communities who share a similar condition and treatment, and are called upon to participate in emergency events experienced by fellow members. Smartphones and location-based social networking technologies present an opportunity to re-engineer certain aspects of emergency medical response. Life-saving prescription medication extended in an emergency by one individual to another occurs on a micro level, anecdotally documented. We illustrate the issues and our approach through the example of an app to support patients prone to anaphylaxis and prescribed to carry epinephrine auto-injectors. We address unique participation challenges in an mHealth environment in which interventions are primarily short-term interactions which require clear and precise decision-making and constant tracking of potential participants in responding to an emergency medical event. The conflicting effects of diffused responsibility and shared identity are identified as key factors in modeling participation. Hacker, J., Wickramasinghe, N., & Durst, C. (2017). Can Health 2.0 Address Critical Healthcare Challenges? Insights from the Case of How Online Social Networks Can Assist in Combatting the Obesity Epidemic. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1357 Abstract One of the serious concerns in healthcare in this 21st century is obesity. While the causes of obesity are multifaceted, social networks have been identified as one of the most important dimensions of people's social environment that may influence the adoption of many behaviours, including health-promoting behaviours. In this article, we examine the possibility of harnessing the appeal of online social networks to address the obesity epidemic currently plaguing society. Specifically, a design science research methodology is adopted to design, implement and test the Health 2.0 application called "Calorie Cruncher". The application is designed specifically to explore the influence of online social networks on individual's health-related behaviour. In this regard, pilot data collected based on qualitative interviews indicate that online social networks may influence health-related behaviours in several ways. Firstly, they can influence people's norms and value system that have an impact on their health-related behaviours. Secondly, social control and pressure of social connections may also shape health-related behaviours, and operate implicitly when people make food selection decisions. Thirdly, social relationships may provide emotional support. Our study has implications for research and practice. From a theoretical perspective, the article inductively identifies three factors that influence specific types of health outcomes in the context of obesity. From a practical perspective, the study underscores the benefits of adopting a design science methodology to design and implement a technology solution for a healthcare issue as well as the key role for online social media to assist with health and wellness management and maintenance.

How do the design features of health hackathons contribute to participatory medicine?.Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1383 Abstract The Hackathon concept is attracting interest as a vehicle for participatory development in both Health and Information systems. Publically available datasets, cloud based data storage, and increasingly sophisticated analytical methods, combined with user friendly development tools for mobile devices are inspiring innovation in the participatory medicine space. This has the potential to disrupt traditional methods and deliver solutions more rapidly, and in a form more likely to meet requirements. In health applications this involves putting the patient and their supports at the centre of design. This work contributes to solving the challenges involved in bringing a diverse cohort of designers, developers, problem owners, healthcare providers, patients, and citizens together to solve user-driven self-care problems using technology. We use a descriptive case study approach focussing on two weekend-long hackathons dubbed "Health Hackathon: Solving Self-care". We gather thick data from multiple sources according to the process defined by Geertz (1994) first, to provide a rich picture of the role of hackathons in participatory medicine and second, to contribute evidence to the practise of running a hackathon. Some key originalities of our work include seeking more candid responses via self-serve interviews. Through this, controversially, we noted a marked emphasis on the creative process over concerns for privacy and ethics around the personal data cloud created by hackathon products. We build on existing theories of participatory medicine and emerging methodologies for conducting hackathons to provide evidence of the efficacy of the hacking approach both in terms of outcome and team dynamics. Through interviews, observation, twitter feeds and a pre-survey, we identify a number of success factors including (1) group size, (2) maturity of the idea, (3) level of involvement of a mentor, and (4) involvement of students. In addition we identify five skills identified by successful health hackathon participants; knowledge, patient focussed skills, analytical skills, software design skills and professional perspective. In common with previous studies we find that there are considerable social benefits that accrue in running a hackathon. Participants meet new people and learn first-hand of the challenges and opportunities provided by the skill sets and work environments of others. This work builds on the existing body of research concerning hackathons and in particular work in the context of participatory medicine Nallaperuma, D., & De Silva, D. (2017). A Participatory Model for Multi-Document Health Information Summarisation. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1393 Abstract Increasing availability and access to health information has been a paradigm shift in healthcare provision as it empowers both patients and practitioners alike. Besides awareness, significant time savings and process efficiencies can be achieved through effective summarisation of healthcare information. Relevance and accuracy are key concerns when generating summaries for such documents. Despite advances in automated summarisation approaches, the role of participation has not been explored. In this paper, we propose a new model for multi-document health information summarisation that takes into account the role of participation. The updated IS user participation theory was extended to explicate these roles. The proposed model integrates both extractive and abstractive summarisation processes with continuous participatory inputs to each phase. The model was implemented as a client-server application and evaluated by both domain experts and health information consumers. Results from the evaluation phase indicates the model is successful in generating relevant and accurate summaries for diverse audiences. Nguyen, L., & Wickramasinghe, N. (2017). An Examination of the Mediating Role for a Nursing Information System. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1387 Abstract This paper reports on findings from an examination of a nursing information system through the lens of Activity Theory. The information system was designed to support real-time nursing documentation in acute care hospital contexts. The objective was to enable superior nursing care to ensue by providing nurses with the opportunity to document patient care data into a tablet computer located at the patient bedside. The system was evaluated in a not-for-profit acute care hospital's wards during its implementation. Nurses' interactions with the system and their perceptions were collected and analysed through the lens of Activity Theory. The analysis highlighted nurses' positive attitude towards the system and identified potential mediation capabilities as well as areas for improvements. Activity Theory was found to be useful to examine the positive and potentially problematic aspects of this new nursing information system. Wang, L., & Ranasinghe, W. (2017). The decision-making role of the patient in localised prostate cancer treatment. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1382 Abstract Our objective was to review the current literature on patient participation and decision-making in the treatment selection process for localised prostate cancer, and to evaluate capacity for improvement. Methods: 42 articles from our literature search were deemed eligible and relevant for review. We reviewed studies on all facets of the treatment decision-making process with most number of articles (16) on treatment preferences. Results: The majority of the patients prefer an active or collaborative role in decision-making. Patients are seeking information from a myriad of sources but the recommendation from their treating physician is often the most influential on the final decision. Radical prostatectomy is more likely to be selected in patients who view a cure for cancer as being of the utmost importance and radiation therapy is preferred in patients who are concerned about treatment side effects. Conclusion: Currently no ideal tool exists to assist patients in making informed treatment decisions that also takes into account patients' values and preferences. We encourage collaborative partnership in a multidisciplinary setting to optimise this process and individualised risk-based decision-making tools may provide a better pathway to assist patients reach decisions. Bellucci, E., Dharmasena, L., Nguyen, L., & Calache, H. (2017). The effectiveness of SMS Reminders and the impact of patient characteristics on missed appointments in a public dental outpatient clinic. Australasian Journal of Information Systems, 21. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1405 Abstract This paper reports on the Failure To Attend (FTA) rate of appointments as well as patients following the implementation of SMS reminders in a public dental outpatient service. Given the ineffectiveness of the intervention and a highly representative patient's profile, this paper identifies the demographic characteristics of patients who miss all of their appointments. Data on appointment attendance, patient demographics and dental service type was collected over a time period of 46 consecutive months. Using descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-square, two sample tests and Marascuilo procedure) we found the SMS intervention was ineffective in reducing the FTA rates. Further, patients associated with high rates of non-attendance exhibited one or more of the following characteristics: male; age 26 - 44; non-concession card holders; a person of Indigenous, local, Asian or African descent, and of refugee status, persons living in low socio-economic areas; and appointments in General Care and Student Clinics. Whilst the literature overwhelmingly attributes SMS reminders to improving the attendance rate of patients in outpatient clinics, our contradictory findings suggest a more targeted approach in settings whose patients exhibit strong characteristics associated with non-attendance. -=-=-=- Call for Papers AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.
