-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Reminder: CfP in BISE: Smart Cities and Digitized Urban Management Datum: Fri, 5 May 2017 16:04:30 +0000 Von: Tobias Brandt <brandt(a)rsm.nl> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Special Issue in Business & Information Systems Engineering on "Smart Cities and Digitized Urban Management" The Smart City concept stands at the confluence of several global technological, socioeconomic, and environmental megatrends. On the technological front, Big Data, analytics, block chain, and the Internet of Things enable an ever more interconnected network of people, services, and infrastructures. On the socioeconomic front, urbanization drives people to the cities in search for a better life, demographic developments alter the very structures of society, and a new wave of migration uproots people and recombines social and cultural backgrounds of populations around the globe. Finally, from an environmental perspective, climate change and pollution make entire stretches of land uninhabitable, endanger coastal areas on every continent, and are a widespread cause of unrest and strife. Cities are where these trends meet, being the cause of and solution to many of the associated challenges. Cities are responsible for most of the emissions heating the planet, but they are also the places where people turn to and move to, where even small adjustments can have tremendous impact. This is particularly relevant for some individual cities (e.g., in Asia) that show a tendency to grow together towards enormous metro-regions with unprecedented sustainability challenges. Simultaneously, the interaction and integration of smart cities with their outskirts as well as more rural "satellites" becomes a pressing issue. Using information systems to improve all of the facets of urban life is the core of the Smart City paradigm. Therefore, this special issue seeks high-quality theoretical, empirical, and design-oriented contributions that outline and demonstrate how IS research can affect and improve urban socio-technical systems and address the issues outlined previously. As the topic is inherently transdisciplinary, we are particularly looking for manuscripts that seek to have an impact within and outside the IS discipline. All defining aspects of "smart cities" such as transport, energy, waste, buildings, living, government, economy, and people are of interest. Relevant topic areas include, but are not limited to: · Information systems for intergenerational collaboration in urban quarters · Sharing economy and resource efficiency · Energy informatics and urban smart grids · Emergency response and climate change action · Information technology for coastal management and protection · E-government initiatives for local inclusion in smart city quarters · Urban, inter-urban and urban-rural intermodal mobility and smart transportation · IS-induced business model innovation for smart cities · IS-enabled citizen acceptance and user-participation/community-sourcing in smart city concepts · Migration and cultural inclusion · Open data and local governments Submission Authors are asked to submit their papers online by 15 July 2017 via the journal's submission system Editorial Manager (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/). All papers must follow the typing and formatting instructions for Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) available at http://www.bise-journal.org. Submissions are accepted in English only.

However, rapid crisis response requires real-time analysis of online information. When a disaster happens, among other data processing techniques, supervised machine learning can help classify online information in real-time. However, scarcity of labeled data causes poor performance in machine training. Often labeled data from past event is available. Can past labeled data be reused to train classifiers? We study the usefulness of labeled data of past events. We observe the performance of our classifiers trained using different combinations of training sets obtained from past disasters. Moreover, we propose two approaches (target labeling and active learning) to boost classification performance of a learning scheme. We perform extensive experimentation on real crisis datasets and show the utility of past-labeled data to train machine learning classifiers to process sudden-onset crisis-related data in real-time.

Current research has presented the traditional bag-of-words method in which a predefined corpus is used to measure the emotional context of each word within a message. Here we present a method in which a small subset of the data is labeled to generate a corpus which is then used to detect emotional content within the data. This research is being conducted on the dataset from hurricane Sandy in 2012. Our findings show an improvement upon the bag-of-words method. These findings would further the current research in improving the utilization of social media data within crisis response. In doing this we allow the average citizen to provide beneficial data to those in decision making roles.

Halse (Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA) Twitter is a vital source for obtaining information, especially during events such as natural disasters. Users can spread information on Twitter either by crafting new posts, which are called “tweets,” or by using the retweet mechanism to re-post previously created tweets. During natural disasters, identifying how likely a tweet is to be retweeted is crucial since it can help promote the spread of useful information in a social network such as Twitter, as well as it can help stop the spread of misinformation when corroborated with approaches that identify rumors and misinformation. In this paper, we present an analysis of retweeted tweets from two different hurricane disasters, to identify factors that affect retweetability. We then use these factors to extract features from tweets' content and user account information in order to develop models that automatically predict the retweetability of a tweet. The results of our experiments on Sandy and Patricia Hurricanes show the effectiveness of our features.

A buried technical network like high voltage electricity line, gas or steam pipeline around such a fire causes additional specifics risks. Vulnerability areas for firefighters are zones where both factors exist: a difficult incident area together with a specific risk like buried networks. They require intervention teams with specific emergency response capabilities. The paper proposes a method developed for the Paris Fire Brigade for vulnerability mapping. Results aim at improving the mobilization in allocating directly the specific responses capabilities intervention teams. Results are debated from an operational point of view. Cutting off several network lines during firefighters' interventions may strongly affect the society. In case of simultaneous incidents in vulnerable areas, firefighters could be an early warning system and inform authorities of the risk of services disruption.

Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational knowledge/KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in today’s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of knowledge/KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and, thus, are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiatives’ success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measuring this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring knowledge system, KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] AI in Security Workshop at IJCAI - second CFP Datum: Wed, 3 May 2017 08:51:45 +0000 Von: Madden, Michael <michael.madden(a)nuigalway.ie> An: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> 1st International Workshop on A.I. in Security. An IJCAI Workshop, Melbourne, Australia, 20th August 2017 . Details and submissions: http://iwaise.it.nuigalway.ie/ Deadline for submissions: 15 May 2017. Artiﬁcial intelligence has an important role to play in improving the resilience of society to both digital and physical threats, and in safeguarding the privacy of individuals, as the world becomes increasingly interconnected. Relevant AI techniques include: knowledge representation; probabilistic reasoning; machine learning; anomaly detection; image recognition; speech recognition; social network analysis; and many others. For example, anomaly detection and temporal data mining can enable the automated detection of physical and/or digital threats; while advances in AI for autonomous vehicles can allow robotic vehicles to be used to secure remote locations that are hazardous to humans, and for search and rescue. AI for physical security is also being successfully used in homeland security applications. To date the physical and digital security communities have limited opportunities to share their research ﬁndings and to engage with the wider AI community. This workshop will to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners in a single location, to present and discuss their new research. It will also provide an opportunity for attendees to highlight current challenges in AI for digital and physical security, propose multi-disciplinary solutions, and showcase the application of AI in this domain. This workshop seeks novel research, case studies and survey papers in topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: Security Analytics: Machine Learning; Security Threat Detection and Visualization; Future Threat Inference; Situational Awareness Monitoring; Automated Message Monitoring; Security Decision Support; Network Event Detection Finance: Applications of AI to: Digital Currencies; Secure Payments; Detection of Tax Evasion or Money Laundering; etc Forensics: Automated Physical Evidence Gathering; Data and Network Analysis; Digital Forensic Tools; Decision Support for Rare Events Images, Text & Networks: Automated Crowd Scanning; Video Analytics; Damage Assessment; Automatic Detection of Hate Speech and Radicalisation on Social Media; Security Sentiment Analysis Physical Security: Automated Monitoring of Secure Locations; Automated Threat Detection; Crisis Management; Sensor Data Analytics; Spatio-Temporal Reasoning; Reasoning from Distributed, Dissimilar and Noisy Data Stream Digital Security: AI for Detection and Mitigation of Threats Such as: Spear Phishing; Social Engineering; Botnets; Intrusion, as well as AI methods for improving Penetration Testing Software Engineering: AI Applied to: Design for Security; Program Analysis; Fault Detection; Compiler and Language Design; Veriﬁcation of Privacy and Security Compliance; Adaptive Security/Privacy Robotics: Securing Remote or Restricted Locations; Operations in Remote or Dangerous locations; Roboguards; Search and Rescue Privacy and Identity Biometrics: Face Recognition; Innovative Cryptography; Anonymization and De-anonymization; Ethics of AI for Security Organizing Committee: • Michael Madden (National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland) • Barry O’Sullivan (University College Cork, Ireland) • Jo Ueyama (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) • Brett Drury (National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland) -- Dr Michael Madden Head of Data Mining & Machine Learning Group National University of Ireland, Galway +353-91-493797 / +353-86-7952802 http://datamining.it.nuigalway.ie/ _______________________________________________ computational.science mailing list computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org https://lists.iccsa.org/mailman/listinfo/computational.science Hosted by Sardina Systems: Hyper-Efficient OpenStack Cloud https://www.sardinasystems.com

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - International Workshop in Business Process Management Application to the e-Government domain (BPMGOV 2017) Datum: Tue, 2 May 2017 21:32:51 +0000 Von: Becker, Joerg <joerg.becker(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ******************* C A L L F O R P A P E R S - four weeks to submit your papers! ******************* WORKSHOP co-located with the 2017 BPM Conferene, the 15th International Conference on Business Process Management ********************************************************* Barcelona, September 10-15, 2017 https://bpm2017.cs.upc.edu/ Description: e-Government comprises the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to broaden and deepen governance by enabling citizens to connect with government entities. It can lead to new methods of obtaining services and produce public policies and services. In this scenario BPM can be a strong tool in terms of coproduction-based approaches, making citizens part of the conception, design, steering, and management of public policies and services. Furthermore, in times of tight public resources, BPM is a powerful means to streamline governmental processes, making them more efficient, effective and customer-friendly. A further difficulty for governmental organizations relates to the management of a potentially diverse range of people that are assigned to a variety of different jobs requiring (partly) totally different skills. Those public servants need to be trained constantly to stay up-to-date and be able to deal with the new technologies. e-Government provides opportunities to tailor these different skill and training needs by implementing electronic training methods that fit those demands in order to make government employees as capable and efficient as possible. In this context, BPM is decisive means and necessary prerequisite to be implemented for a training design that exactly focuses on the skills needed for the systems and processes the respective employee is involved in. Major topics in this track will discuss methods, techniques, tools and current trends in BPM that can support or contribute to the production of better public services. We are seeking high quality research and practice papers for this track that investigate various aspects of BPM in e-Government and show its relevance for this domain. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * BPM as possible means to tackle current government challenges like any kinds of crises (e.g. refugee crisis) * Best practice reports on implemented BPM methods and techniques in governments * New BPM-tools and methods for governments * BPM as means to increase citizen acceptance and use * BPM languages to approximate citizens to government * BPM for decision making in governments * BPM and Enterprise architecture applied in government * BPM people and culture in government * Business Process architectures in government * The use of BPM mining in government * Business Process visualization in government * Business Process Transparency * Business Process Reengineering in government * Business Process Quality in government Format: The workshop will consist of an initial keynote, paper presentations and subsequent discussions.
