-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: Real-World Objects in Business Process Management Systems [Deadline extended!] Datum: Mon, 8 May 2017 11:29:49 +0200 Von: Claudio Di Ciccio <claudio.di.ciccio(a)wu.ac.at> Antwort an: rw-bpms(a)ai.wu.ac.at Organisation: Vienna University of Economics and Business An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Kopie (CC): rw-bpms(a)ai.wu.ac.at CALL FOR PAPERS 3RD WORKSHOP ON THE ROLE OF REAL-WORLD OBJECTS IN BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (RW-BPMS 2017) To be held in conjunction with EDOC 2017 10th of October 2017, Québec City, Canada **** Extended submission deadline: 21 May 2017 **** https://ai.wu.ac.at/rw-bpms2017/ SCOPE The increased availability of sensors disseminated in the world has led to the possibility to monitor in detail the evolution of several real-world objects of interest. GPS receivers, RFID chips, transponders, detectors, cameras, satellites, etc. concur in the depiction of the current status of monitored things. Therefore, the opportunity arose to connect physical reality to digital information. The screening of real-world objects lets sensors be the interface towards real-world information, as they are the originators of machine-readable events. The exploitation of such knowledge is leading to successful applications such as Smart Cities, Flight Monitoring, Pollution Control, Internet of Things, and Dynamic Manufacturing Networks. The amount of information at hand could be leveraged for a fine-grained monitoring, mining, and decision support for business processes, stemming from the joint observation of business-related objects in the real world. However, the main focus of process and data analysis in Business Process Management (BPM) still lies at a high level of abstraction, such as activities' status, and is based on digital-to-digital information, such as information systems' data- and activity-centric logs. Furthermore, a limited investigation from the BPM community has been evinced towards the physical-to-digital bridge so far. Such a bridge would be naturally provided by rethought information systems, where the knowledge extracted from real-world objects would best depict the contingencies and the context in which business processes are carried out. At the same time, awareness of physical reality for undertaken actions would allow for a better control over the interaction that the Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) have with the real world. The objective of the RW-BPMS workshop is therefore to attract novel research and industry approaches investigating the connection of business processes with real-world objects monitoring. Conceptual, technical and application-oriented contributions are pursued within the scope of this theme. TOPICS OF INTEREST Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: (1) Real-world objects in decision making, support and process mining - Execution/deployment challenges for BPs that include sensors - Using real-world objects monitoring for business process execution and control - Integration of data from real-world objects in BPM applications - Process control based on real-world objects - Mixed physical-digital events correlation and aggregation - Mining mixed physical-digital events - Continuous mining of real-world events for running processes - Case identification from sensor data - Event log extraction from sensor data (2) Real-world objects in business process modeling - Modeling challenges to combine static information of business process execution and continuously updated information of real-world objects - Support for decision making based on sensor data for the business process execution - Requirement analysis for integrating real-world objects monitoring with business process monitoring - Opportunities of modeling sensor data in business process models - Inclusion of real-world information for the visualization of current process status - Novel visual representations for mixed physical-digital evolution of processes - Modeling flexibility for business process management involving real-world object interactions - Real-world objects status compliance to the business model - Compliance of the business model to the status evolution of real-world objects - Defining constraints on real-world objects in business process modeling (3) Process adaptivity and prediction based on real-world objects - Opportunities of mining sensor data to model business processes - Opportunities of mining sensor data to control the execution of business processes - Monitoring real-world objects to predict business process execution (e.g. duration of tasks) - Mixed physical-digital data aggregation in event analysis - Real-world-event driven process adaptation - Studies on the effects of process enactments on the real world (4) General view on real-world objects in BPMS - Empirical research on the integration of real-world objects in BPMS - Case studies on the integration of real-world objects in BPMS - Best practice for the integration of real-world objects in BPMS - Vision papers on the integration of real-world objects in BPMS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prospective authors are invited to submit papers on any of the topics of the workshop.

Service Oriented Computing and Applications http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/11761 Springer (EI indexed, Impact factor 2015: 1.355) CONFERENCE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections and relations. Web 2.0 has come to play a major role in this context by enabling a new generation of social networks and web-based communities and dramatically changing the way we use and interact with the Web. Social network analysis is also a rapidly growing field to investigate the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems. Virtual campuses and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations, such as business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions. This has resulted in entangled systems that need to be managed efficiently and in an autonomous way. In addition, latest and powerful technologies based on Grid and Wireless infrastructure as well as Cloud computing are currently enhancing collaborative and networking applications a great deal but also facing new issues and challenges. Well-known social networks lack of knowledge management and adaptive solutions and the information shared among peers is rather static. Virtual communities of practice also provide poorly interactive solutions and lack of full support for organization, management, mobility and security. This conference covers the latest advances in intelligent social networks and collaborative systems that lead to gain competitive advantages in business and academia scenarios. The ultimate aim is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile, and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning. Industry and academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and present their ideas in this field. Papers are solicited for in the following areas (not limited to) ? Social networking and collaborative systems ? Virtual campuses and collaborative systems ? Virtual Organizations and communities of practice ? Business-to-Business collaborative systems ? Peer-to-Peer computing and collaborative systems ? Online collaborative learning and interaction analysis ? Grid Computing and collaborative systems ? Wireless and Mobile technologies for collaborative systems ? Cloud computing and collaborative systems ? Context aware-computing for collaborative systems ? Semantic web technologies and services for collaborative systems ? Security, privacy and anonymity in collaborative systems ? Modeling, simulation and performance analysis of collaborative systems ? Personalization and adaptation techniques in collaborative systems ? Soft computing techniques for design of intelligent collaborative systems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors should submit a paper to the main conference with maximum 12 pages in length,including all figures, tables, and references. Workshop papers should be maximum 10 pages long. However, authors can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. Papers must be prepared using the Lecture Notes Style of Springer Proceedings.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP 2nd Workshop on Managed Complexity, Copenhagen, August 28, 2017 Datum: Mon, 8 May 2017 05:52:27 +0000 Von: Mārīte Kirikova <Marite.Kirikova(a)rtu.lv> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers ManComp 2017 2nd Workshop on Managed Complexity https://wwwswt.informatik.uni-rostock.de/ManComp2017/ August 28, 2017 · Copenhagen, Denmark In conjunction with BIR 2017 conference http://www.bir2017.aau.dk/ Managing complexity has a long tradition for algorithms and general problems. However, it is an important issue also in Business Informatics domain. Here the complexity of different systems and systems of systems has to be managed. While complexity usually associates with large or very large scale systems still managing complexity is important even for systems with small sizes operating in complex environments. Nowadays informatics requires handling complexity at different levels and configurations of social, physical, enterprise, software, and hardware systems. The workshop is planned to focus on approaches and methods for managing complexity in the domain of applied informatics that may address an interplay of systems and ecosystems of various sizes and substances. Its purpose is to share and transfer knowledge on complexity identification, representation, controlling and reduction as well as to exploit possible synergies in development of innovative complexity handling strategies, approaches, and methods. The ultimate goal of the workshop is bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss theoretical approaches and real-life case studies featuring success and/or failure stories in managing complexity. It welcomes seeking and discussing answers to such complexity management questions as: * How is complexity divided? * What kinds of models are to be specified? * What is the role of system architecture in complexity handling? * How is the human recognized in the loop? * What kind of rules are to be applied? * In which way do patterns help? * Which notation or ontologies are useful in complexity handling? * How is knowledge reused? * How is knowledge propagated? * and many others. Based on these discussions, we expect to deepen the understanding of strategies, approaches, and methods in managing complexity in enterprise, software, and hardware engineering. A cross-pollination of experiences in those domains is assumed. Three types of submissions are welcomed: position papers, research papers, and reports. All types should treat a topic complying to the workshop themes. * Position papers (2-6 pages): Such papers should state the position of the authors regarding any topic of the workshop. * Reports (4-8 pages) Experience reports and case studies are expected to be submitted in this category. * Research papers (8-15 pages full research papers, 8-10 pages research in progress papers): Research papers should describe innovative approaches. Publication Workshop papers should be formatted following the Springer's LNCS or LNBIP formatting guidelines (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Workshop papers will be published either in CEUR proceedings of BIR Workshops or in the journal Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling (CSIMQ). In case of CEUR proceedings, the extended versions of the papers will be considered for publication in CSIMQ<http://csimq.mozello.lv/> http://csimq.mozello.lv/. Papers should be submitted to the EasyChair conference management system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mancomp2017.

Fwd: [WI] CfP 10th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’17)

08 May '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP 10th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’17) Datum: Sun, 07 May 2017 21:43:25 +0200 Von: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu Antwort an: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu The 10th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’17) September 10-11, 2017 Barcelona, Spain Call for Papers Deadline for workshop paper submissions: May 26, 2017 Workshop Theme Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, organizations and economics. It enables social business that has created a multitude of success stories. More and more enterprises use social software to improve their business processes and create new business models. Social software is used both in internal and external business processes. Using social software, the communication with the customer is increasingly bi- directional. E.g. companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas for new products and features. Social software also creates new possibilities to enhance internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc. Social software is based on four principles: weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning. · Weak ties Weak-ties are spontaneously established contacts between individuals that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social software supports the creation of weak ties by supporting to create contacts in impulse between non-predetermined individuals. · Social Production Social Production is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this. By this means it is possible to integrate new and innovative contributions not identified or planned in advance. Reputation based mechanisms assure quality following an a-posteriori approach. · Egalitarianism Egalitarianism is the attitude of handling individuals equally. Social software highly relies on egalitarianism and therefore strives for giving all participants the same rights to contribute. This is done with the intention to encourage a maximum of contributors and to get the best solution fusioning a high number of contributions, thus enabling the wisdom of the crowds . Social software realizes egalitarianism by abolishing hierarchical structures, merging the roles of contributors and consumers and introducing a culture of trust. · Mutual Service Provisioning Social software abolishes the separation of the service provider and consumer by introducing the idea, that service provisioning is a mutual process of service exchange. Thus both service provider and consumer (or better prosumer) provide services to one another in order co-create value . This mutual service provisioning contrasts to the idea of industrial service provisioning, where services are produced in separation from the customer to achieve scaling effects. Up to now, the interaction of social software and its underlying paradigms with business processes have not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social software interacts with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service, and how business processes may profit from these principles. The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process Management, Social Business and Big Data in Social Business. Social Business Process Management is the use of social software to support one or multiple phases of the business process life cycle. 1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM) - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation) can profit the most by social software? - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - Is there an influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning on BPM methods themselves? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - How do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning influence the design of business processes? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business processes which are not well-defined? 2. Social Business: Social software supporting business processes - Which new possibilities for the support of business processes are created by social software? - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? 3. Human Aspects of Business Process Management - What requirements are created for individuals by participating in a multitude of business processes. - Which concepts and technologies exist to support the individual in coping with different external business processes - Which further human aspects of business process management exist ? - Human-centric business processes - Human resource management in business processes Goal Based on the nine previous successful BPMS2’08 to BPMS2’16 workshops, the goal of the BPMS2’17 workshop is to promote the integration of business process management with social software and to enlarge the community pursuing the theme. Workshop paper format Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20-minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted, and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final Call for Abstracts to UWS Joint-Conference - New Deadline: 30 May 2017 Datum: Fri, 5 May 2017 21:08:51 +0000 Von: Abel Usoro <Abel.Usoro(a)uws.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> UWS Joint Conference: 28th Annual IIMA (International Information Management Association) http://www.iima.org/ and 4th ICITED (International Conference on Information Technology and Economic Development) Dates: 11-13 September 2017 Location: Paisley, Scotland, UK Theme: Smart Systems for Complex Problems Both technical and non-technical submissions are invited: Abstracts to conference and papers to journals; also submissions for panel or workshop, PhD symposium and poster event Details at http://www.uws.ac.uk/jointconference2017/ Email contact: jointconf(a)uws.ac.uk<mailto:jointconf@uws.ac.uk> New Submission deadline: 30 May 2017 Conference Description: Society appears to be becoming more complex. We need to address the challenges from rising complexity through the knowledge and intelligence available in technological and social systems. From a technical perspective there is the search for more efficient computing algorithms using computational intelligence along with nano-scale technologies and sensors that could simplify human, business and industrial operations by taking over human cognitive functions. We find the application of smart systems in a wide range of topics such as the support for the elderly and disabled, medical applications, smart city technologies (e.g. transportation, energy management, and industrial automation), and different business systems (e.g. e-payment). Since these technologies are mostly to assist humans, the human side of the system cannot be ignored. Nor can we ignore business and organisational aspects since the systems affect business and organisations either as recipients or as financiers. There is great opportunity for research in areas such as systems analysis, information management (which includes big data from which intuitive insights can be drawn), knowledge management and human-computer interface. This joint-conference, therefore, expects contributions about current research and work in progress in both the technical and non-technical aspects geared at addressing complex human, business, industrial and organisational problems. The conference seeks submissions related but not exclusive to the following areas: Smart Systems Artificial Intelligence Computational Intelligence E-learning Information Science IT for Economic Development E-Government, Technological Innovations Virtual Computing Digital Marketing, Business Analytics Cloud Computing Cybersecurity E-business/commerce Emerging Trends Digital Accounting Eco-Systems GIS Healthcare IT IT Auditing/Forensics Mobile Computing Organizational Culture & Technology Social Networking Big Data Ethics for Smart Future Submission of Abstracts to conference: Submissions to the conference must not already have been published in a journal, presented at another conference, or be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by the track chairs, program committee and selected reviewers. All reviews are double blind. All accepted Abstracts will be published in the UWS Joint Conference 2017 Abstract Proceedings. Submit Abstracts at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iima2017 Submission for Panel or Workshop: The conference will feature sessions on topics of business, profession, government and education.

In this article, we discuss the some of the critical aspects of the big-data problem and show their importance as well as relevance to IS research. We also propose a number of research problems in this area that interested IS scholars can address to delve more deeply into the field as well as to generate further active interest of the subject within the IS community. INFORMATION SYSTEMS OUTSOURCING REASONS AND RISKS: REVIEW AND EVOLUTION Reyes González (mr.gonzalez(a)ua.es), Jose Gascó & Juan Llopis The present article proposes a set of outsourcing reasons and risks—subsequently assessing them in the case of major Spanish companies through a survey that has been replicated twice. A questionnaire was administered to the Information Systems managers of the largest Spanish firms in order to achieve these aims. An analysis was carried out to check if the proposed reasons and risks are valid for firms regardless of their size or their degree of outsourcing, later complemented with a study of the effect that time has on them, showing a 12-year evolution. IDIOCENTRISM VERSUS ALLOCENTRISM AND ETHICAL EVALUATIONS ON ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING INTENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH KOREA Namkee Park, Hyun Sook Oh & Naewon Kang (nkang(a)dankook.ac.kr) This study examined the effects of the personality dimension of idiocentrism and allocentrism, individual experiences, and ethical evaluations on illegal downloading intention. Using data from surveys of college students in the United States and South Korea, the study uncovered that South Korean students are more likely to download illegal content than the U.S. counterpart. The study found the personal trait of self-reliance affected illegal downloading intention for the U.S. students, as expected, while that of interdependence affected the intention for South Korean students. Of more interest is that self-reliance, which is likely to be prominent in individualistic societies, played an important role in explaining illegal downloading intention among the students of South Korea where collectivistic culture has traditionally been predominant. Further, the role of individual experience and ethical evaluations played differently in accounting for illegal downloading intention among the U.S. and South Korean students. AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES OF SMALL-SCALE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS OPERATORS IN LAGOS, NIGERIA TOWARD E-WASTE HAZARDS Williams Nwagwu (nwagwwe(a)unisa.ac.za) & Margaret Okuneye Electronic waste, consisting of fairly used and unusable electronic and electrical equipment, is the fastest growing solid waste in the world, and it contains substances that are toxic to human health and environment. Businesses anchored on e-waste thrive in Lagos, Nigeria, and many studies have examined the hazards caused by e-waste, but none of the studies examined the awareness and attitudes of the e-waste dealers toward the health hazards of the waste they generate. The aim of this study is to examine the awareness and attitudes of e-waste dealers in Lagos, Nigeria toward the health hazards of e-waste, understand the factors influencing their behavior, and the likelihood that they will embrace adequate e-waste management practices as well as how these variables are related to their socio-demographic characteristics. The study is guided by the Theory of Reason Action. Data analysis was guided by binary logistic regression. The e-waste dealers are aware about the health hazards of their goods and are willing to adopt adequate behavior toward managing them. However, they would be willing to co-operate with the Lagos State government in this regard more than they would with their trade association or federal government agencies. The negative attitude of the e-waste dealers toward e-waste, despite their high level of awareness about e-waste hazard, is a very significant observation. The Lagos State government should lead mass awareness programs encompassing all the stakeholders of e-waste.
