-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: HICSS 51 (2018)-Mini-track on Data Science and Digital Collaborations Datum: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 20:37:19 -0400 Von: Lakshmi Iyer <lsiyer(a)uncg.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call For Papers: HICSS 51 (2018)-Mini-track on *Data Science and Digital Collaborations* For *Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track* *Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences* HICSS-51: January 3-6, 2018 | Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii *Call for Papers* Data science and analytics for collaboration is the study of generalizable extraction of knowledge from structured and/or unstructured data to support human collaboration within and across groups and organizations. The new actionable knowledge gained is expected to support achieving collaborative goals such as innovation, idea generation, decision making, negotiation, and execution. Data science and analytics for collaboration couples a systematic study of collection, aggregation, organization, processing, and analysis of data. In addition, it requires deep understanding of formulating problems valuable for collaboration, engineering effective solutions to the collaboration problems, and ways to effectively communicate findings across roles ranging from business managers to data analysts. There is an explosive interest in organizations looking for ways to increase value from data science and using it to address business challenges. One promising way for businesses and organizations to enhance their performance or competitiveness is by investigating how data science and analytics can facilitate collaboration both internally and externally. For example, businesses are trying to understand how data science and analytics can help engage customers and improve operation efficiency and how it can use social media to support corporate knowledge management. Another example is collaborative generation and creation of ideas and solutions through crowdsourcing and online communities (such as dominodatalab.com). Access to heterogeneous, voluminous, and unverified data presents both new opportunities and challenges for addressing collaboration problems. Yet another example is the collection of data by the public around the world which is then used by scientists working on Genographic data by National Geographics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Challenges and opportunities of data science for collaboration · Analysis of big data for collaboration · Collaboration across organizations for social impact through analytics · Collection, aggregation, and organization of collaborative big data · Managing heterogeneous big data from collaborative sources · Visualization of collaborative big data · Data science for collaborative work (decision making, problem solving, negotiation, and creativity/innovation) · Data science and analytics for inter-organizational collaboration · Crowdsourcing analytics for collaborative tasks · Security and privacy issues in collaborative data science · Data science in collaborative creation or innovation · Human factors in applying data science for collaboration · Team building in data science for collaboration · Case studies on data science for collaboration: Adaptive collaboration systems that feature modeling, collaboration, and advanced analytics to detect patterns, make sense, simulate, predict, learn, take action, and improve performance with use and scale. · Knowledge discovery from collaborative data in social media · Analysis of collaborative social networks ** IMPORTANT DATES:** Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2017, 11:59 p.m. HST Notice of Acceptance/Rejection: August 17, 2017 Final Manuscripts for Publication Due: September 22, 2017 Deadline for at least one author to register: October 1, 2017 *Submission:* See details on HICSS website: http://hicss.hawaii.edu/ tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ *Mini-track Co-Chairs* Lakshmi S.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call For Papers: HICSS-51 - Deep Learning, Ubiquitous and Toy Computing Minitrack Datum: Sun, 2 Apr 2017 17:35:53 +0000 Von: Patrick Hung <Patrick.Hung(a)uoit.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Many Thanks! Call For Papers The 51st Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-51) Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2018 ========================================================================== Deep Learning, Ubiquitous and Toy Computing Minitrack URL: http://hicss.hawaii.edu The pervasive nature of digital technologies as witnessed in industry, services and everyday life has given rise to an emergent, data-focused economy stemming from many aspects of human individual and ubiquitous applications. The richness and vastness of these data are creating unprecedented research opportunities in a number of fields including urban studies, geography, economics, finance, entertainment, and social science, as well as physics, biology and genetics, public health and many other smart devices. In addition to data, text and machine mining research, businesses and policy makers have seized on deep learning technologies to support their decisions and proper growing smart application needs. As businesses build out emerging hardware and software infrastructure, it becomes increasingly important to anticipate technical and practical challenges and to identify best practices learned through experience in this research area. Deep learning employs software tools from advanced analytics disciplines such as data mining, predictive analytics, text and machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using multiple processing layers with complex structures or non-linear transformations. At the same time, the processing and analysis of deep learning applications present methodological and technological challenges. Further deep learning applications are advantaged by a rise in sensing technologies as witnessed in both the number of sensors and the rich diversity of sensors ranging from cell phones, personal computers, and health tracking appliances to Internet of Things (IoT) technologies designed to give contextual, semantic data to entities in an ubiquitous environment that previously could not contribute intelligence to key decisions and smart devices. Recently deep learning technologies have been applied into toy computing. Toy computing is a recently developing concept which transcends the traditional toy into a new area of computer research using ubiquitous technologies. A toy in this context can be effectively considered a computing device or peripheral called Smart Toys. We invite research and industry papers related to these specific challenges and others that are driving innovation in deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing. The goal of this minitrack is to present both novel and industrial solutions to challenging technical issues as well as compelling smart application use cases. This minitrack will share related practical experiences to benefit the reader, and will provide clear proof that deep learning technologies are playing an ever-increasing important and critical role in supporting ubiquitous and toy computing applications - a new cross-discipline research topic in computer science, decision science, and information systems. With a general focus on deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing, this minitrack covers related topics in deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing such as: * Data Modeling and Implementation * Analytics and Algorithms * Business Models * Delivery, Deployment and Maintenance * Real-time Processing Technologies and Online Transactions * Conceptual and Technical Architecture * Visualization Technologies * Modeling and Implementation * Security, Privacy and Trust * Industry Standards and Solution Stacks * Provenance Tracking Frameworks and Tools * Software Repositories * Organizations Best Practices * Smart Toys * Case Studies (e.g., smart toys, healthcare, financial, aviation, etc.) Extended versions of accepted papers will be invited for submission by specific journal special issues. Further details will be announced soon. Deadline for authors to submit papers: *** June 15, 2017 (11:59 PM, Hawaii time) *** Submission link: http://www.hicss.org Minitrack Co-Chairs: Patrick C. K.

The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as (see http://er2017.pros.webs.upv.es/): · Theories of concepts underlying conceptual modeling · General-purpose and domain-specific methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models · Techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations · The impact of conceptual modeling on databases, business strategies and information systems development. The goal of a tutorial at the conference is to provide a road map (for beginners or advanced attendees) about a subject area related to conceptual modeling. Generally, tutorials emphasize breadth and cover material from a variety of different authors. The audience generally varies from novice students to practitioners and specialized researchers. Ideally, a tutorial would cover a subject that has an adequately supporting corpus of past work and significant prospects of future expansion research-wise. *This year all accepted tutorials will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2pm-4pm, in parallel.* *Important Dates* - Proposals due: June 5th, 2017 - Notification: June 24th, 2017 - On-Line material: October 24th, 2017 - Tutorials at ER 2016: November 7th, 2017 *Submission Guidelines* Tutorial proposals must be no more than 5 pages and must provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the scope. Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience and its assumed background. Tutorials are typically extended lectures of 2 hours by an expert on a highly-focused topic of relevance to conceptual modelers. Also, it should be indicated how a high-quality presentation will be achieved within the chosen time period. Tutorial proposals must include: - The presenter(s) name, affiliation, contact information, and short bio; - Tutorial title; - Five-line abstract; - Scope, goals, and novelty of the tutorial; - Expected audience and their level (beginner, intermediate or advanced); - Projected benefits (mainly via a list of the targeted knowledge outcomes); - Detailed outline and timetable; - Tutorial method, including teaching method(s), technology requirements for presentation (beyond standard equipment, such as pc projector), and so on; - Sample material to be provided to attendees (and uploaded to the conference's web site). In addition, proposals that extend any previous tutorials of the presenter/s should state where the related tutorials have been given and how the previous tutorial is extended or customized for the case of the ER Conference. *Submission* Please send an email with your submission to the tutorial co-chairs, Iris Reinhartz-Berger and Karen Davis, via er2017tutorials(a)labs.hevra.haifa.ac.il. *Evaluation* We will be evaluating tutorials based on the following grounds: 1. Fit with ER 2017 audience — Please see topics of interests to the conference at http://er2017.pros.webs.upv.es/call-for-er-papers/. 2.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Subject line: CFP: Mediated Conversation minitrack. HICSS site now open for submission Datum: Sat, 1 Apr 2017 11:19:23 +0300 Von: Yoram Kalman <yoram.kalman(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Mediated Conversation Conversations are at the heart of every human activity. Mediated conversations that use text, audio, images and video are a part of every aspect of life: From the Cluetrain Manifesto’s “markets are conversations”, through Robin Dunbar’s conversations as devices for social grooming. Accordingly, this minitrack is open to research on mediated conversation from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including Communication, Management, Education, Computer Science, Sociology, Political Science, Psychology, Linguistics, Law, and the like. The mediated conversation minitrack is home for research of the interface of conversation and technology at HICSS. As the role of mediated conversation in everyday life and in the workplace becomes more dominant, we encounter new research questions. Many mediated conversations leave a persistent record and become persistent conversations. This persistence transforms the essence of conversation that was, until recently, predominantly volatile and ephemeral. On the other hand, some forms of mediated conversation are deliberately ephemeral and impermanent, as demonstrated by media such as Snapchat.* This is the successor of the Persistent Conversation minitrack established by Tom Erickson and Susan Herring at HICSS in 1999*, which was originally focused on the novelty of conversational persistence. Since then, the mediation of human communication has been imposing a new set of challenges. For example, what are the mechanisms that perform the role of the ephemeral social cues of face-to-face conversation? What are the consequences of the creation of potentially permanent records in terms of privacy, accountability, and the right to be forgotten? What of the ability to erase, steal, hijack and selectively leak and disseminate conversations that were meant to remain under the control of their participants? How do platforms affect or mediate conversations, for example by imposing algorithmic biases? Can we evaluate the claims about loss of intimacy, depth, and quality of human communication when carried out digitally? This minitrack brings together researchers and innovators to explore mediated conversation and its implications for learning, commercial transactions, entertainment, news, politics, and other forms of human interaction; to raise new socio-technical, ethical, pedagogical, linguistic and social questions; and to suggest new methods, perspectives, and design approaches. Examples of appropriate topics include, but are not limited to: · Innovation in digital conversational practice: turn-taking, threading, and other structural features of CMC · The dynamics and analysis of large scale conversation systems (e.g., MOOCs and big data applications) · Methods for analyzing mediated conversation · Studies of virtual communities or other sites of digital conversation · The role of mediated conversation in knowledge management · The role of mediated conversation in organizations · Domain specific applications, opportunities and challenges of mediated conversations and conversational exchanges (e.g., in education, healthcare, social movements, government, citizen participation) · Conversation visualization, and visual cues · The role of listeners, lurkers, and silent interactions · Novel properties of mediated conversation · Social presence and the mediation of an attributed user’s identity · The platform's role in mediating the conversation Submit online at: https://confs.precisionconference.com/~hicss/ *Submission deadline: June 15, 2017, 11:59 pm HST* For questions, please contact one of the co-chairs *Minitrack Co-Chairs:* *Sheizaf Rafaeli* (Primary Contact) University of Haifa sheizaf(a)rafaeli.net *Yoram M Kalman* The Open University of Israel yoramka(a)openu.ac.il *Carmel Kent* University of Exeter, UK kent.carmel(a)gmail.com -- Yoram Kalman, PhD Cell: +972 54 574 7375 www.kalmans.com _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
