Specifically, this special issue addresses the following questions: 1. Do the existing theories of technology adoption and/or diffusion explain the role of emerging disruptive technologies well? If not, how to extend the existing theories or develop new theoretical perspectives to fill the gap? 2. What additional perspectives should be considered besides the traditional adoption theories? 3. What are the adoption and/or diffusion barriers of disruptive information technologies? 4. What are the risks of the disruptive information technologies? 5. How do the risks of the disruptive information technologies affect their adoption and/or diffusion processes? 6. Why are organizations and individuals reluctant to adopt and diffuse the disruptive information technologies? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * New theory and perspective for the adoption and diffusion of disruptive information technologies * State of the art and new business models using disruptive information technologies * Success and failure factors of augmented/virtual reality applications and games * Big Data-driven services * Issues on emerging medical information technologies * Legal and political issues of disruptive information technologies * Diffusion barriers of self-driving cars * Financial Technology (FinTech) services * Individual, business and social Impacts of disruptive technologies * The benefits and risks of adopting cloud computing services * Cross cultural issues related to disruptive information technologies * The role of disruptive information technologies in creating and sustaining business ecosystems Timeline Submission deadline: May 31, 2017 Papers reviewed: Sept 30, 2017 Revised papers reviewed and accepted: December 31, 2017 Final versions of accepted papers delivered: January 31, 2018 Submissions We welcome papers a wide range of disciplines as well as papers based on either quantitative or qualitative approaches. Given the tight schedule, there will not be enough time for major revision. Therefore, when preparing your submission, it is strongly required to try your best to make your paper publishable as it is. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Authors are instructed to follow the Guide for Authors <http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?i…> and submission guidelines for the journal at the journal’s website, and to choose "Special Issue: Disruptive IT" as the paper type in the online submission system, Scholar One <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/imds>. More about the Special Issue With technology use permeating every part of our life, both personal and at work, the issues related to its adoption have drawn concerns of all users. Technology acceptance studies have provided valuable insight and been consistently published in various outlets (Lee et al. 2013). The topic has also garnered high citation as evidenced the previous papers. As new technologies are being introduced, we expect that the adoption and resistance issues will continue to attract user interest. Although existing technology acceptance theories are old-fashioned, many researchers still apply the theories to specific contexts (e.g., developing country, education, and health care areas). However, these theories may have limitations in explaining the adoption of emerging disruptive information technologies (Sun, Y., & Jeyaraj, A. 2013). Thus, if we fill this research gap, many researchers will have better opportunities to develop the related topics based on studies included in this special issue. http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for _papers.htm?id=6895 *Dr. Young Hoon Chang* Ph.D in Business and Technology Management (KAIST) Assistant Professor Division of Business and Management BNU-HKBU United International College B117, 28 Jinfeng Road, Tangjiawan, Zhuhai, Guangdong Prov. 519085 P.R.

They are expected to be the enablers of a high penetration of renewable energy, facilitate the wide adoption of electrical vehicles, increase the awareness and the involvement of the end-user in the energy scene, and altogether contribute to create a sustainable lifestyle for the eco-aware 21^st century citizen. Although much is still in a state of flux it is nevertheless commonly accepted that existing energy systems, infrastructures, environments, and business opportunities cannot simply be adapted or extended to address the requirements of the next generation of energy supply and consumption. Instead, a fundamental re-engineering is required. Thus, all these prospected transformations also bring with them numerous challenges and opportunities. Regardless of whether and how the energy supply will be designed and operated in the near future it is obvious that the key enabler for a successful transformation of the energy supply will be a meaningful and purposeful used ICT infrastructure. New solutions will consolidate and represent the combined knowledge and experience of different disciplines as engineering, business management and economics and computer science and, thus, contribute significantly to the stabilisation of the energy supply and to the success of involved companies. The IT backbone for such solutions will be distributed, collaborative, autonomous and intelligent software packages for simulation, monitoring, control and optimization as well as appropriate data and business models, reporting systems and maybe also mobile solutions. Besides the topic of future energy grids the recent past was also dominated by the discussion about so called smart cities and smart homes. A smart city uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance quality, performance and interactivity of urban services. This especially means that the contact between citizens and government is eased and improved substantially with the aim to equip inhabitants with more power, responsibility and easing their life substantially from bureaucratic and useless tasks. Another highly relevant goal is to reduce costs and resource consumption. Smart cities will connect, utilize and optimize a number of sectors including transport and traffic management, energy consumption and management or water and waste issues. However, they also need to rely on the next lower level of abstraction, namely smart buildings and homes. This, however, implies that smart grids, smart cities, smart buildings and homes, and smart infrastructures need to be deeply integrated in order to shape the smart overall energy environment of the future. And that looks more like a revolution than an evolution. Thus, revolutionary papers are highly welcome even if they are not too elaborated or too mature. This workshop is not meant to rely on the presentation of mature research results but wants to provide a lively environment with a lot of even vague input for intensive and fruitful discussions. For that, also shorter provocative statements and ideas are very welcome. *Workshop topics* The SESSISE workshopaims at providing an interdisciplinary forum for presenting and discussing recent advances and experiences in building and using new IT-based solutions for Sustainable Energy Systems, Smart Infrastructures, and Smart Environments. For this, the conference provides a forum for different scientific disciplines. In particular, it includes (but is not limited to) the following areas and topics of interest: /Smart Grids, Smart Homes and Buildings, Smart Infrastructures/ •Smart Energy Systems •Energy Storage •Microgrids •Decentralized Control Systems •Stability in Energy Grids •Distributed Optimization in Energy Networks •Self-aware, Self-configuring or Self-healing Energy Systems •Simulation Environments for Smart Grids •Hybrid Energy Networks •Assistance Systems for Smart Energy control •Integrated Infrastructures •Development of Standards for Smart Grids •Industry, Municipality and University Cooperation •Sustainable Cities •Zero Energy Cities and Buildings /Smart Data Handling / •Alternative Data Storing and Proceeding Technologies •Big Data and Smart Energy Environments •Software Tools for Smart Energy Networks •Data Security •Data Structures and required Standards •Mobile Solutions for Smart Energy Environments •ICT Services in Smart Grids/Smart Cities/Smart Environments /Smart Markets, Trading and Business models/ •Forecasts / Predictions •Management of distributed Energy Generation and Storage •Business Models for (hybrid) Energy Networks •Products and User Interfaces •Business Models and electronic marketplaces for Smart Grids •Competition Analysis •Process Management •Electric Mobility •Solar Home Storage Systems •End Users and Demand Response *Structure of SESSISE* SESSISE will be a one or two day workshop and will include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper as well as invited overview papers on topics of overall interest in order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is intended to give much space for lively discussions. The workshop is meant to end with a panel/discussion round in which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed. *Review Process* Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include (in all cases possible): relevance, significance, impact, originality, quality of presentation, practical applicability. It is not expected that the papers prohibit mature research results. Good elaborated ideas, visions and directions which may be starting point for more intensive discussions are very welcome. The idea is less the presentation of narrow, however, mature research but the presentation of broader visions, possible solution spaces and research directions, open fields for research, emergent trends, etc. *Workshop proceedings* It is intended to publish revised papers in post-proceedings of BIS 2017 workshops as a book by Springer Publishing Company in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. *Journal publication of excellent papers* It is intended to invite authors of excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper to the IOS Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal. If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular papers. *Submission guidelines* All papers need to be formatted according to the Springer formatting instructions: * http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui… */Regular papers/*: up to 12 pages */Short papers and Work-in-progress reports/*: up to6 pages */Demo papers/*: up to 4 pages Papers must be written in English and need to be submitted in PDF format. Submission system is available at EasyChair. /Original/work approved for presentation at SESSISE 2017 will be published in the BIS 2017 workshop post-conference proceedings, as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. BIS 2017 Workshops proceedings will be distributed to workshop participants by regular mail.

It is no longer novel to engage citizens in urban planning sessions using diverse shared spaces and augmented reality applications, to have audiences create content in museums, to see libraries offering maker spaces, to allow audiences to co-create storylines in theaters. However, research on such public co-design still needs to catch up with emerging practices and address, at various levels of granularity, reflections on what type of activities are proposed and for what purpose, how are the co-design explorations carried out, where are they carried out and who to include in ways that are relevant for both participants as well as researchers. For this focus section, we are particularly interested in exploring temporalities of engagement and their relation to outcomes, where outcomes are seen as either co-created artifacts or a new knowledge gained in relation to the time investment. Pop-up and Drop-in spaces are becoming common and may happen in a variety of formats that engage people over a short period. For example, Pop-up graphite art, cafés, or parking lot gardens may engage for as little as a few minutes, usually random by passers. Drop-in civic events, games, museum or theater co-creative events also engage over a short time, but frequently, already interested and motivated audiences. Intermediate and long-term engagements, e.g., participatory design (PD), can also happen in diverse formats and under different agreements with participants, with work taking place in libraries, museums, parks and other places suitable for longer-term engagements. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- We are particularly focusing on methods and evaluation of civic and cultural engagement activities. We welcome all papers that help identify good research methods and methodologies, as well as best practices regarding temporal and spatial configurations in co-creative projects within public cultural and civic sphere. Topics may include: • Explorations of relation between the length of engagement and the expected outcomes • Public spaces and their relation to temporalities of engagement • Understanding of ‘participatory culture’ when public spaces for participation and engagement in cultural sphere varies in time • Temporality and methods chosen for engagement • Engagement with current “hot issues” and creation of a “critical mass” necessary to set changes in motion =========================================== Submission guidelines and procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ECIS 2017 - Similarity Detection in Digital Trace Data Workshop - June 6th, 2017 - Guimarães, Portugal Datum: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 19:00:02 +0000 Von: Mahmood Shafeie Zargar <mahmood.shafeiezargar(a)mail.mcgill.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The increasing availability of digital trace data and recent advances on both methods and tools to analyze data in unprecedented scale open up new venues for information systems research. These trends permit the implementation of novel analysis methods and create new opportunities for theorization. Yet, the sheer volume of data means that the traditional research methods, whether qualitative or quantitative, may not be able to fully benefit from the depth and the breadth of the data available. That is unless the data is made accessible through intermediary transformation steps. Traditionally this accessibility has been achieved by limiting the scale of the data through sampling strategies. But advances in computational methods have made other strategies possible that may provide additional or holistic insights. Among others, these methods include dimensionality reduction methods used to “summarize” the data by focusing on its salient features and the methods capable of detecting patterns and similarities at a large scale. The combination of these computationally-powered tools with traditional research methods create new possibilities for both inductive and deductive research. This workshop focuses on similarity detection methods. An interactive workshop will be held where the participants will have the chance to use similarity detection methods on pre-collected data. The workshop will include presentations and interactive sessions focusing on the following methods: * Locality-sensitive hashing for text similarity detection. * Spherical harmonic representation of 3D shapes for product design comparison. * Semantic transformations with ontology extraction using Wikipedia.

Specifically, this special issue addresses the following questions: 1. Do the existing theories of technology adoption and/or diffusion explain the role of emerging disruptive technologies well? If not, how to extend the existing theories or develop new theoretical perspectives to fill the gap? 2. What additional perspectives should be considered besides the traditional adoption theories? 3. What are the adoption and/or diffusion barriers of disruptive information technologies? 4. What are the risks of the disruptive information technologies? 5. How do the risks of the disruptive information technologies affect their adoption and/or diffusion processes? 6. Why are organizations and individuals reluctant to adopt and diffuse the disruptive information technologies? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * New theory and perspective for the adoption and diffusion of disruptive information technologies * State of the art and new business models using disruptive information technologies * Success and failure factors of augmented/virtual reality applications and games * Big Data-driven services * Issues on emerging medical information technologies * Legal and political issues of disruptive information technologies * Diffusion barriers of self-driving cars * Financial Technology (FinTech) services * Individual, business and social Impacts of disruptive technologies * The benefits and risks of adopting cloud computing services * Cross cultural issues related to disruptive information technologies * The role of disruptive information technologies in creating and sustaining business ecosystems Timeline Submission deadline: May 31, 2017 Papers reviewed: Sept 30, 2017 Revised papers reviewed and accepted: December 31, 2017 Final versions of accepted papers delivered: January 31, 2018 Submissions We welcome papers a wide range of disciplines as well as papers based on either quantitative or qualitative approaches. Given the tight schedule, there will not be enough time for major revision. Therefore, when preparing your submission, it is strongly required to try your best to make your paper publishable as it is. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Authors are instructed to follow the Guide for Authors <http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?i…> and submission guidelines for the journal at the journal’s website, and to choose "Special Issue: Disruptive IT" as the paper type in the online submission system, Scholar One <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/imds>. More about the Special Issue With technology use permeating every part of our life, both personal and at work, the issues related to its adoption have drawn concerns of all users. Technology acceptance studies have provided valuable insight and been consistently published in various outlets (Lee et al. 2013). The topic has also garnered high citation as evidenced the previous papers. As new technologies are being introduced, we expect that the adoption and resistance issues will continue to attract user interest. Although existing technology acceptance theories are old-fashioned, many researchers still apply the theories to specific contexts (e.g., developing country, education, and health care areas). However, these theories may have limitations in explaining the adoption of emerging disruptive information technologies (Sun, Y., & Jeyaraj, A. 2013). Thus, if we fill this research gap, many researchers will have better opportunities to develop the related topics based on studies included in this special issue. http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for _papers.htm?id=6895 *Dr. Young Hoon Chang* Ph.D in Business and Technology Management (KAIST) Assistant Professor Division of Business and Management BNU-HKBU United International College B117, 28 Jinfeng Road, Tangjiawan, Zhuhai, Guangdong Prov. 519085 P.R.
