-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] FW: AMCIS2017 - Workshop on Smart Manufacturing CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Datum: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:03:48 +0000 Von: Nikolai Kazantsev <nikolai.kazantsev(a)postgrad.manchester.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> **** Apologies for multiple copies due to cross-posting **** *** Please forward to colleagues who might be interested *** AMCIS 2017 - Workshop on Smart Manufacturing / B2B Collaboration / Industry 4.0 / Cyber-physical systems - CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Dear colleagues, please consider sending an extended abstract on Smart Manufacturing/Industrial IoT (Industry 4.0) related topics for a specialized workshop during AMCIS 2017. This is the second workshop of the newly established SIG, that comprises now more than 100 academic and industrial specialists in Big Data, Internet of Things and Industry 4.0. We aim to bring industrial experience from aerospace and automotive sectors to the AIS community. The main Industry 4.0 project highlighted during the event will be DIGICOR - ( Decentralised Agile Coordination Across Supply Chains - http://www.digicor-project.eu/) On behalf of the workshop organizational committee, Nikolai Kazantsev --- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS: Smart Manufacturing in aerospace and automotive industries 2nd Workshop of the AIS Special Interest Group for Big Data application in processes During AMCIS 2017, Boston, USA The Association for Information Systems (AIS) presents the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), one of the main information systems research conferences in the world, and a leading conference in the Americas Region. AMCIS 2017 theme, A Tradition of Innovation, features research that present novel additions to methodological or theoretical directions to previous IS knowledge and tackles challenges arising from emerging technologies. Smart Manufacturing is the dramatically intensified and pervasive application of networked information-based technologies throughout the manufacturing and supply chain enterprise[1]. Smart manufacturing companies of today operate in an environment of global supply chain and hyper-competitive strategies demanding rapid change, yet the IT support systems are generally local rather than global and rigid rather than flexible. IT support thus fails to support both the necessary level of coordination across partners in the global supply chain and the rapid speed of change typical for hyper-competition. The workshop on the academic and practical cases of Big Data Application in Manufacturing will be mainly oriented towards Smart Manufacturing in aerospace and automotive industries. The objective of the workshop is to build a dynamic community for open and constructive discussions and exchange of academic and industrial experience for Big Data and Industry 4.0 researchers on topics: 1. Smart collaborative manufacturing and logistics 2. Industry 4.0 and factory automation 3. Knowledge protection in collaborative infrastructures 4. Cyber-physical systems towards the factory of the future The workshop will be accepting extended abstracts from research-in-progress and industry case studies/reports. Additionally, the workshop will be accepting novel, early and creative research ideas as posters: 1st Round Abstract submission due: Jul 7th, 2017 (passed) 1st Notification of acceptance: Jul 11th, 2017 (passed) 2nd Round Abstract submission due: Jul 27th, 2017 2nd Notification of acceptance: Aug 7th, 2017 Workshop date: Aug 11th, 2017, 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM Publications All accepted papers will be indexed in the AIS Library.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final reminder: CfP in BISE: Smart Cities and Digitized Urban Management

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final reminder: CfP in BISE: Smart Cities and Digitized Urban Management Datum: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 16:26:17 +0000 Von: Tobias Brandt <brandt(a)rsm.nl> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers (Deadline July 15) 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. In particular, manuscripts should not exceed 50,000 characters (discounting 5000 characters for each figure/table). Submitted papers will undergo a double-blind review process and be refereed by at least three domain experts according to quality, originality, relevance, and scientific rigor.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - First Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning (DIDL) Datum: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:45:47 -0400 Von: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning (DIDL) 2017 Las Vegas, Nevada Dec 11-15, 2017 https://didl-conf.github.io/ Deep learning is a rapidly growing field of machine learning, and has proven successful in many domains, including computer vision, language translation, and speech recognition. The training of deep neural networks is resource intensive, requiring compute accelerators such as GPUs, as well as large amounts of storage and memory, and network bandwidth. Additionally, getting the training data ready requires a lot of tooling for data cleansing, data merging, ambiguity resolution, etc. Sophisticated middleware abstractions are needed to schedule resources, manage the distributed training job as well as visualize how well the training is progressing. Likewise, serving the large neural network models with low latency constraints can require middleware to manage model caching, selection, and refinement. All the major cloud providers, including Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have started to offer cloud services in the last year or so with services to train and/or serve deep neural network models. In addition, there is a lot of activity in open source middleware for deep learning, including Tensorflow, Theano, Caffe2, PyTorch, and MXNet. There are also efforts to extend existing platforms such as Spark for deep learning workloads. This workshop focuses on the tools, frameworks, and algorithms to support executing deep learning algorithms in a distributed environment. As new hardware and accelerators become available, the middleware and systems need to be able exploit their capabilities and ensure they are utilized efficiently. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in deep learning infrastructures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Resource scheduling algorithms for deep learning workloads Advances in deep learning frameworks Programming abstractions for deep learning models Middleware support for hardware accelerators Novel distribution techniques for training large neural networks Case studies of deep learning middleware Optimization techniques for Inferencing Novel debugging and logging techniques Data cleansing, data disambiguation tools for deep learning Data visualization tools for deep learning Dates and location Paper submissions: August 31, 2017 Notification to authors: September 28, 2017 Camera-ready copy due: October 15, 2017 The DIDL workshop is co-located with the Middleware conference, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from December 11-15, 2017. Papers and Submissions We are looking for the following types of submissions: Research and industry papers (up to 6 pages): Reports on original results including novel techniques, significant case studies or surveys. Authors may include extra material beyond the six pages as a clearly marked appendix, which reviewers are not obliged to read but could read. Position papers (up to 4 pages): Reports identifying unaddressed problems and research challenges. Abstracts (up to 1 page): An extended abstract on a preliminary or ongoing work. Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All papers should follow ACM formatting instructions, specifically the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard Style. The author kit containing the templates for the required style can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Submissions should not be blinded for review. Please submit your papers via the submission site: https://didl17.hotcrp.com/ All accepted papers will appear in the Middleware 2017 companion proceedings, available in the ACM Digital Library. All accepted papers will also be presented at the workshop, and at least one author of each paper must register for the workshop.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 1st Workshop on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITIES Datum: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 06:49:45 +0000 Von: Artur Lugmayr <artur.lugmayr(a)artur-lugmayr.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ================================================================================================= Call for Papers, Abstracts, Demos and Posters 1st Workshop on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITIES AI-VR-AR 2017 in conjunction with SIGGRAPH ASIA 2017 27th-30th November 2017 Bangkok, Thailand http://aivr.ambientmediaassociation.org The workshop intends to attract a broad range of contributions to develop this scholarly field during a full day venue. We invite scholars and practitioners to discuss synergies between virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The aim is to gather a cross-disciplinary team of experts with a background in computer science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), psychology/cognitive sciences, culture/communication studies, design and art to develop this fascinating intersection. The aspects to discuss range from user-experience, technologies applications, methods, cultural implications, communication theories, to artistic approaches. Workshop Highlights: - Workshop proceedings published in a Scopus indexed series - Best papers are published as part of an edited book or journal special issue with high level publisher - Submission deadline: 15 August, 2017 ================================================================================================= While AI's main aim is to replicate human intelligence, AR and VR focuses its research efforts on the creation of artificial worlds either in complete virtual world, or as part of our physical environment. Many examples that bridge the two fields have emerged recently, e.g. intelligence in digital games, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning and AI, emotional and affective interaction, etc. Thus, while AI and VR/AR went rather distinct research pathways, we attempt to bring them together, and discuss different aspects at the intersection of machine intelligence and human interaction in a mixed reality. We raise the question: what happens when artificial worlds start to think, and we humans interact with it? We would like to follow up the philosophical discussions around issues such as what happens when things start to think, and Alan Turing's works. In this workshop, we would like to raise a question: what would happen when artificial worlds start to think, and how we humans can interact and communicate with AI through e.g. affective interfaces? As our emphasis is on creating the synergy between VR/AR and AI/ML, we are not limited to particular areas; instead, the following exemplary topics might help to gather ideas for a possible contribution: affective and emotional computation, communication with AI, digital game analytics, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning, personalization and recommender systems, UX with agents and physical robots, cultural robotics, or AI in information visualization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOPICS OF INTEREST (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in VR/AR * Emotions and AI in VR, AR, and smart objects * Human-Computer-Interaction with AI in virtual worlds * Digital games and artificial intelligence * How do humans communicate with AI * Emotion enriched human-AI collaboration * AI in digital games and other application areas * User-Experience and interaction with AI * Intelligent interaction with robots and physical objects * Visualisation of cultural data * Affective human-virtual world interaction * Design of emotionally intelligent AI * Recommender systems and personalisation in VR, AR * Information visualisation and AI and ML * Communication theory and cognitive science * Affective ambient intelligence in mixed realities * UX with AI agents or physical robots * AI based emotion mediated communication in VR/AR * Tools for authoring emotional intelligence in VR/AR * Multimodal affective interfaces in VR/AR * Human-human emotional communication in VR/AR * Cultural robotics The workshop proceedings will be published in a Scopus indexed proceedings series with an ISBN number as part of the Semantic Ambient Media Experience (SAME) workshop series. The very best contributions will be published in an edited book from a highly reputable publisher which has been pre-arranged. Please note that only selected high quality contributions will be published as part of the edited book.

Fwd: [AISWorld] First Cfp Pre-ICIS workshop “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] First Cfp Pre-ICIS workshop “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” Datum: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 08:54:28 +0000 Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> An: AISWorld Listserv <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> First Call for Papers AIS SIGPrag Pre-ICIS workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” December 9, 2017, Seoul, South Korea Background – pragmatic perspectives There have been many calls in the information systems (IS) community for a stronger pragmatic focus. This can be seen in a growing interest for research approaches and methods in IS that emphasize contribution to practice and collaboration between the practice and academia. Action research, which aims for knowledge development through collaboration and intervention in real settings, is achieving more and more academic credibility (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Davison et al, 2004). This can also be said about design science research that aims for the generation of new and useful artifacts (Hevner et al, 2004; Gregor & Jones, 2007). Research through evaluation has had a long and venerable place in IS research (Ward et, 1996; Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2003). Several approaches and frameworks that combine or integrate elements from the above-mentioned approaches have also emerged, e.g. practice research (Goldkuhl, 2011), collaborative practice research (Mathiassen, 2002), practical science (Gregor, 2008), engaged scholarship (Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), action design research (Sein et al, 2011) and technical action research (Wieringa & Morali, 2012). Underlying these different approaches is a quest for practical relevance of the conducted research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999; Van de Ven, 2007; Wieringa, 2010). It is not enough to only “mirror” the world through descriptions and explanations but a pragmatic orientation recognizes intervention and design as a way of knowing and a means for building knowledge about social and institutional phenomena (Aakhus, 2007). There is a need for knowledge of other epistemic kinds that contributes more clearly to the improvement of IS practices. A pragmatic orientation can also be seen in the increasing interest in the conceptualization of practices, activities, agency and actions. Practice theorizing has gained an increased attention in IS studies (Orlikowski, 2008; Leonardi, 2011). There has been an interest for agency and action oriented theories in IS for quite some time; e.g. activity theory (Nardi, 1996), structuration theory (Orlikowski, 1992), social action theorizing (Hirschheim et al, 1996), human agency theorizing (Boudreau & Robey, 2005) and language action perspective (Winograd & Flores, 1986). From this follows also an interest for social and pragmatic views of the IT artifact (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005). This includes views of the IT artifact as contextually embedded and carriers of those social contexts (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001) and such artifacts being tools for action and communication (Ågerfalk, 2003; Markus & Silver, 2008). Design research practice and the contributions to practice through appropriation of knowledge and methods and the contributions to academia through knowledge artifacts has been discussed (Sjöström, Donnellan & Helfert, 2012). This enhanced practice and action orientation follows a growing awareness within IS scholars towards pragmatism as a research foundation (e.g. Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012). It is not the case that IS scholars suddenly become pragmatists in their research orientation. It is rather the case that there is move from an implicit pragmatism to an explicit one (Goldkuhl, 2012). For a long time IS scholars have addressed practical problems with an interest for improvement. That interest has led to the extensive development of methods, models and constructive frameworks for not only the design of IT artifacts, but also related to several other IS/IT phenomena like e.g. innovation management, business process management, project management, IT service management just to mention a few. These methods actually reveal an on-going search for knowledge of other epistemic kinds for advancing understanding of information technology, information systems, and practice. Pragmatism – and its inherent view of inquiry as a theory of knowledge (Dewey, 1938) – is a philosophical foundation for intervention-based research (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Sjöström, 2010). Indeed, Constantinides et al (2012, p. 1) propose “practical questions for all IS researchers to consider in making choices about relevant topics, design and execution, and representation of findings in their research.” The pragmatist foundations are also reflected in the evolving design science research discourse (Hevner et al, 2004; Sein et al, 2011; Gregor & Hevner, 2013; Iivari, 2014; Venable et al, 2016). Workshop focus This AIS SIGPrag Pre-ICIS workshop has a general orientation towards pragmatic perspectives on IS as described above. The focus is on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This means an emphasis on digital artifacts as embedded in social practices and carriers of elements in such practices. It emphasizes also the innovative nature of designing new artifacts and new practices. The workshop acknowledges different sub-themes within this broad workshop theme: * Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts * Ways to conceptualize and describe practices * Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts * The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices Topics within these sub-themes are described below. Workshop purpose This workshop is arranged in the same spirit and a continuation of earlier successful SIGPrag workshops on “Practice research”, “IT Artifact Design & Workpractice Improvement” and “Action Research & Design Research Integrations”. This SIGPrag workshop intends to bring scholars and practitioners together for a knowledge exchange and development on research foundations and practical contributions concerning the design and innovation of digital artifacts and practices. The SIGPrag workshop is intended to be a developmental arena with thoughtful and constructive feedback from reviews and comments on site. The workshop should be a place where you can present ideas in papers and get fruitful feedback for further development of the papers. A developmental arena means also taking responsibility for pushing contributions further to high-quality journal publications. From earlier SIGPrag workshops (ADWI-2012, ADWI-2013, ADWI-2014 and PractDID-2016) several papers have been pushed further into special issues in the open access journal Systems, Signs & Actions. At least one issue will be arranged in Systems, Signs & Actions inviting promising papers from this SIGPrag workshop. We will possibly also work with some other outlet for another special issue. This depends on the outcome of the workshop. Topics The workshop can include papers from diverse fields of IS. Topics following the identified workshop sub-themes are listed below. Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; empirical research approaches such as: * Practice research * Action research * Design science research * Action design research * Case study research * Evaluation research * Discourse analysis * Pragmatic inquiries * Practitioner – research collaborations Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; knowledge creation approaches such as: * Design theory development * Method design/refinement * Grounded theory development * Multi-grounded theory development * Practical theory development Ways to conceptualize and describe practices; for example: * Symbolic interaction * Language action * Socio-materiality * Institutionalism * Actor-networks * Infrastructure evolution * Socio-instrumentalism * Distributed cognition * Distributed agency Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts; for example: * Ensemble view * Socio-technical view * Contextual view * Functional tool view * Affordance view * Communicative action view The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices; for example aspects such as: * Innovation strategies * Openness in innovation * Design thinking * Collaborative design * Stakeholder interactions (power-playing vs. value balancing and informed consensus building) * Practice understanding and diagnosis * Wicked problems * Problem formulation * Values and goals articulation * Idea generation * Idea capture * Design conversations * Idea visualization (modeling, prototyping) * Strategies for testing and evaluation Dates and submission details Submissions: September 24, 2017 Notification: October 31, 2017 Final manuscripts: November 30, 2017 Workshop: December 9, 2017 The workshop website is http://SIGPrag.net/<http://sigprag.net/> SIGPrag | The AIS Special Interest Group for Pragmatist ...<http://sigprag.net/> sigprag.net AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS Workshop: Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts.

The integration of these smart objects into the Internet originated the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT vision advocates a world of interconnected objects, capable of being identified, addressed, controlled, and accessed via the Internet. Such objects can communicate with each other, with other virtual resources available on the web, with information systems and human users. IoT applications involve interactions among several heterogeneous devices, most of them directly interacting with their physical surroundings. New challenges emerge in this scenario as well as several opportunities to be exploited. One of such opportunities regards the leveraging of the massive amount of data produced by the widely-spread sensors to produce value-added information for the end users. In this context, techniques to promote knowledge discovery from the huge amount of sensing data are required to fully exploit the potential usage of the IoT devices. In this context, data fusion techniques are data techniques dealing with the association, correlation, and combination of data and information from single and multiple sources to achieve refined position and identity estimates, and complete and timely assessments of situations and threats, and their significance. Since IoT data is usually dynamic and heterogeneous, it becomes important to investigate techniques for understanding and resolving issues about data fusion in IoT. Employment of such Data fusion techniques are useful to reveal trends in the sampled data, uncover new patterns of monitored variables, make predictions, thus improving decision making process, reducing decisions response times, and enabling more intelligent and immediate situation awareness. The goal of this Workshop is to present and discuss the recent advances in the interdisciplinary data fusion research areas applied to IoT. We aim to bring together specialists from academia and industry in different fields to discuss further developments and trends in the data fusion area. Topics appropriate for this workshop include (but are not necessarily limited to): • Data collection and abstraction in IoT • Knowledge fusion in IoT • Machine learning, data mining and fusion for IoT • Data streams fusion in IoT • Data models for IoT • Fusion models for IoT • Subjective Logic applied to IoT • Dynamic analysis in IoT • Social data fusion and social IoT • Probabilistic reasoning in IoT • Decision systems in IoT • Web data fusion • Image Fusion • Tracking The submission dates are: • Submission Due: 10 August 2017 • Author Notification: 24 August 2017 • Camera-ready Paper Due: 1 September 2017 Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been published or under review in any other venue.

FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier to use high-level programming models for FPGAs. Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now in its third year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on legacy and new high-level programming models, optimizations specific to scientific computing and data analytics, tools for performance/energy improvements, FPGA computing in the cloud, and popular applications for reconfigurable computing such as machine learning and big data. ========================================================================== Submissions (one page extended abstract): Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance computing architectures and, at a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity, cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data centers and supercomputers. Submissions may report on theoretical or applied research, implementation case studies, benchmarks, standards, or any other area that promises to make a significant contribution to our understanding of heterogeneous high-performance reconfigurable computing and will help to shape future research and implementations in this domain. A non-comprehensive list of potential topics of interest is given below: 1. FPGAs in Supercomputer, Cloud and Data Center: FPGAs in relation to challenges to Cloud/Data Center/Supercomputing posed by the end of Dennard scaling 2. Supercomputing, Cloud and Data Center Applications: Exploiting FPGA compute fabric to implement critical cloud/HPC applications 3. Leveraging Reconfigurability: Using reconfigurability for new approaches to algorithms used in cloud/HPC applications 4. Benchmarks: Compute performance and/or power and cost efficiency for cloud/HPC with heterogeneous architectures using FPGAs 5. Implementation Studies: Heterogenous Hardware and Management Infrastructure 6. Programming Languages/Runtimes/OS/Tools/Frameworks for Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing 7. Future-gazing: New Applications/The Cloud Enabled by Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing, Evolution of Computer Architecture in relation to Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing 8. Community building: Standards, consortium activity, open source, education, initiatives to enable and grow Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions as a ONE PAGE EXTENDED ABSTRACT in ACM SIG Proceedings format. ========================================================================== You can submit your contribution(s) through a link on the H2RC website: http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu ========================================================================== Important dates: Submission Deadline: September 1, 2017 Acceptance Notification: October 15, 2017 Camera-ready Manuscripts Due: November 4, 2017 Workshop Date: November 17, 2017 ========================================================================== Workshop Format: H2RC is a half-day Friday workshop.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: MKWI-Teilkonferenz “Human-centric Information Systems Design und Development” Datum: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 12:28:18 +0200 (CEST) Von: Kathrin Figl <kathrin.figl(a)wu.ac.at> Antwort an: postmaster(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de *Call for Papers: *MKWI-Teilkonferenz “Human-centric Information Systems Design und Development” Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2018 in Lüneburg, Deutschland, 6.-9.März 2018 http://mkwi2018.leuphana.de/ **Leitung* * * Dr. Kathrin Figl, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien * Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner, Universität Hamburg * Dr. Christine Bauer, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz *Inhalt* Digitale Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme (IKS) sind heutzutage nicht nur fester Bestandteil der Arbeitswelt, sondern haben auch längst den privaten Alltag durchdrungen. Solche Systeme haben einen fundamentalen Einfluss auf Kommunikation, Informationsverhalten sowie soziales Miteinander. Effektiv gestaltet und richtig eingesetzt ermöglichen IKS neue Arbeits- und Kollaborationsformen. Die Durchdringung des beruflichen, privaten und öffentlichen Raumes durch Technologien, sei es durch allzeit für NutzerInnen verfügbare Geräte, wie Smartphones oder smarte Objekte/Internet-of-Things, bringt für die gestaltungsorientierte Wirtschaftsinformatik neue Herausforderungen mit sich, da beispielsweise durch Technologien induzierte ständige Unterbrechungen oder auch Multi-tasking die menschliche Aufmerksamkeit schwächen können. Resultat ist eine Überlastung von Kognitionsprozessen, die in weiterer Folge mitunter Arbeitsprozesse und soziales Miteinander beeinflussen. Neben solchen Herausforderungen eröffnet die Durchdringungung des Alltags mit Technologien aber auch neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für nutzerzentrierte Lösungen, für deren theoriegeleitete Entwicklung soziologische und (kognitions-)psychologische Theorien wesentliche Gestaltungshinweise liefern können. Nicht nur die Lösungen an sich sollten sich auf Theorien stützen, auch der Gestaltungsprozess selbst wird von Menschen durchgeführt, welche die Entwicklung und das Design von Informationssystemen vorantreiben. Da die Informationsverarbeitung des Menschen fehleranfällig ist, ist es im Kontext der Systementwicklung sinnvoll, kognitive Theorien heranzuziehen um z.B. (Modellierungs-)Sprachen, Entwicklungsmethoden und -prozesse zu optimieren. Theoriebasierte Gestaltungsartefakte können somit Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme selbst, sowie ihre Gestaltungs- sowie Nutzungsprozesse sein. In Bezug auf das Konferenzmotto „Data driven X – Turning Data into Value“ ist insbesondere folgender Punkt hervorzuheben: Um exponentiell wachsende Datenbestände für Menschen weiterhin zugänglich und handhabbar zu machen ist ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis kognitiver Prozesse und deren Berücksichtigung bei der Systemgestaltung essentiell. Diese Teilkonferenz heisst sowohl gestaltungsorientierte (z.B. Design Science Research, Aktionsforschung) als auch quantitativer wie qualitative empirische Forschungsarbeiten (z.B. Experimente, fragebogenbasierte Studien, Interviews, Inhaltsanalysen) gleichermaßen willkommen. *Mögliche Themen für Beiträge* * Anwendung und Erweiterung bestehender kognitiver, verhaltensökonomischer und sozialer Theorien (z.B. mit Bezug auf Aufmerksamkeit, Motivation, Kreativität, Informationsverarbeitung, Entscheidungsverhalten, Kommunikation) für das theoriegeleitete Design bzw. Gestaltung von Informationssystemen sowie deren besseren Verständnis, u.a.: o Informationssysteme für Wissensarbeit, Wissenstransfer und Shared Understanding o Kollaborative Systeme und Prozesse (z.B. Motivation und Erhöhung von Beteiligungsbreite/-tiefe, Interaktionsmechanismen, Co-Creation/ Kreativitätsförderung, Crowd-Sourcing) o Kommunikations- und Netzwerksysteme sowie deren Nutzungsprozesse (z.B. Social Media, Verhalten in Communites, Interaktion mit IT-basierten Dienstleistungen) o Online-Entscheidungsarchitekturen/-situationen (Digital„Nudging“: z.B. Gestaltung von Webformularen, Persuasive Systems) o Systeme zur Unterstützung des Umgangs mit großen Datenbeständen (z.B. Informationsverarbeitung, Visualisierung) o ERP- und entscheidungsunterstützende Systeme o NutzerInnen-zentrierte Informationssysteme, die eine (ad-hoc-)Anpassung ermöglichen (z.B. personalisierte oder kultur-abhängige Empfehlungssysteme) * Anwendung und Erweiterung bestehender kognitiver, verhaltensökonomischer und sozialer Theorien im Hinblick auf die theoriegeleitete Gestaltung von Design- und Entwicklungprozessen für Informationssysteme u. a.: o Kognitive Verzerrungen (Cognitive Bias) in der Entwicklung von Informationsystemen (z.B. in der Anforderungsanalyse, Projektplanung, Modellierung, Programmierung) o Kommunikationsmodelle für Crowd-Sourcing o Kreativitätsfördernde Designprozesse und Tools zur Informationssystemgestaltung *Einreichung und Begutachtungsprozess* * Die Einreichung von Beiträgen zur MKWI 2018 ist bis zum *30.
