Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2018 Minitrack - IT Entrepreneurship
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2018 Minitrack - IT Entrepreneurship Datum: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 10:00:34 -0800 Von: Allen, Jonathan P. <jpallen(a)usfca.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 2018 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) New Orleans, LA, August 16-18, 2018, http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ IT Entrepreneurship Mini-Track CALL FOR PAPERS IT Entrepreneurship is a broad set of topics that includes the creation of new digital products and services, and the companies that deliver them. IT entrepreneurial activities are highly sought after by regions, institutions, and governments throughout the world. New forms of IT-based entrepreneurship can be a force for opportunity and inclusiveness, offering the possibility of high wages and ‘green’ economic development, but might also exacerbate skill gaps and unequal access to information and other resources. The IT Entrepreneurship mini-track welcomes submissions from a variety of research perspectives (e.g. positivist, interpretivist, or critical) and data gathering and analysis approaches (e.g. from experiments and surveys, to grounded theory and Delphi studies). We welcome research at all levels of analysis—industry, society, product, workgroup or individual. Presentations at the mini-track are intended to be developmental, in keeping with the historic culture and spirit of the sponsoring group, ACM SIGMIS (Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems). This mini-track is part of a broader initiative by ACM SIGMIS to provide support, resources, community and infrastructure to researchers considering the broad area of IT entrepreneurship. The group will also support a track/workshop at the annual SIGMIS-CPR conference in June 2018. The intention is for high-quality papers from this initiative to be packaged as a special issue of the DATA BASE journal. Questions to be addressed include, but are not limited to: • How is IT entrepreneurship new? What differentiates digital entrepreneurship from entrepreneurship in general? • What can IT entrepreneurs learn from the accumulation of knowledge in existing entrepreneurship and information systems research? • Are there processes that aid individuals at the various stages of becoming an IT entrepreneur (e.g. decision to start a business, planning, start up, rounds of funding, moving toward success, decision to quit IT entrepreneurship)? • Are there processes for creating and promoting new IT products and processes that increase efficiency, effectiveness, and/or outcomes? • What processes for communities and entrepreneurs will encourage new product creation as a force for a more inclusive and productive society? • How can IT help entrepreneurial organizations become more effective? • What opportunities and challenges exist for IT entrepreneurs in particular industries such as health care, energy and the environment, supply chain and logistics, etc.? • How do new digital platforms and business models, such as e-commerce, social media and the “sharing economy”, create new opportunities or pitfalls for potential entrepreneurs? • What are the implications of the growth of IT entrepreneurship for IS education? Submission guidelines and templates can be found here: http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/submission-instructions/ Track: Advances in Information Systems Research (General Track) Important dates: February 28, 2018: Deadline for AMCIS paper submissions April 17, 2018: Notification of initial decision on submitted papers April 25, 2018: Deadline for publication-ready revisions April 27, 2018: Notification of decision on revised publication-ready papers Mini-Track Co-chairs: J.P.

To meet this challenge, the Working Group 13.6 (WG13.6) on Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) was established in September 2005 as the sixth working group under the International Federation for Information Processing specifically the Technical Committee 13 on Human Computer Interaction (HCI). A main objective of the WG13.6 as defined in 2012 is the analysis of this complexity and its relationships between extensive empirical work domains studies and HCI designs. We are particularly interested in observing technology-mediated innovative work practices in informal settings, in a social development context. This is why WG 13.6 has decided to promote research jointly with WG. 13.8 on Interaction Design in International Development, whose main interest since its creation in 2006 is to promote the application of interaction design to address the needs, desires and aspirations of people across the developing world. Today’s technologies change the way we work with pervasive interfaces and smart places, often shifting our physical boundaries and our operational modes. From health care, to traffic control, interaction with new technologies, researchers have raised challenging issues for HCI researchers and experts. This is even more challenging when one is away from the mainstream industrial sites of the global north. In line with recent suggestions that HCI should “turn to practice” and do practice based research, the utility and merit of defining a field from its published works stems from providing a conceptual frame to organize a variety of issues emerging in recent HCI research. In this focus section, we take a practice oriented, bottom up approach where one can analyze and synthesize relevant field work. Stephanidis states that interactive technologies are entering all aspects of everyday life, in communication, work and collaboration, health and well-being, home control and automation, public services, learning and education, culture, travel, tourism and leisure, and many others. An extensive variety of technologies are already available, and new ones tend to appear frequently, and on a regular basis. Because of this we have to be attentive towards the development of studies that will help the growth of new technologies itself. This focus section also aims at analysing the connections between ecological interface design with other common interface design methods, enabling participants to better understand how to combine approaches in the creation of design solutions. We propose to approach this in the perspective of transforming everyday interactions of people with technologies, in particular cognitive work approaches, using examples and case studies. Examples of everyday services and technologies that are already enabled by multiple cognitive engineering approaches include Amazon’s Echo, IBM’s Watson, Apple’s Siri, services like Dropbox, Spotify, Pinterest and so many others. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- In the above context, this focus section of IxD&A invites papers around the following list of topics: • human-centered design approaches for specific work domains (workplaces, smart workplaces); • visions of new roles for workplaces that enhance both work practice and interaction design. • can HWID be effectively applied beyond control rooms and other industrial or manufacturing contexts? • analyzing the value of the current state of affairs with regard to the concept of “affordance”; • how does HWID can help improve the experience economy, the knowledge economy (Web 2.0, user-generated content) and the transformation economy (ethical value change, global and societal issues); • case studies of applied HWID leveraging on pervasive computing, Internet of Things, and other work domains or workplace technologies. =========================================== 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: [computational.science] The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) Datum: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:43:06 +0100 Von: Massimo Cafaro <massimo.cafaro(a)unisalento.it> An: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/ CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia Submission Deadline: January 28, 2018 SPECIAL ISSUE Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…) SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] #SMSociety CFP: 2018 INTERNATIONAL CONF on SOCIAL MEDIA & SOCIETY [Papers due in 18 days!] Datum: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 11:00:19 -1000 Von: agruzd(a)gmail.com An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOCIETY COPENHAGEN, DENMARK (JULY 18-20, 2018) THEME: Networked Influence and Virality - REVISITED IMPORTANT DATES Full & WIP Papers Due: Jan. 29, 2018 Panels, Workshops, & Posters Due: Mar. 19, 2018 PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES Full and WIP (short) papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. All conference presenters will be invited to submit their work as a full paper to the special issue of the Social Media + Society journal (published by SAGE). SUBMISSION DETAILS: http://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Join us on July 18-20, 2018 for the 9th annual International Conference on Social Media and Society (#SMSociety). The conference is an interdisciplinary gathering of social media researchers, practitioners, and analysts from around the world. The 2018 conference is hosted by the Centre for Business Data Analytics at the Copenhagen Business School. In 2012, in the wake of Occupy and the Arab Spring, the #SMSociety community explored networked influence and virality, and saw social media and viral events as a democratizing force. Fast forward five years and we find ourselves in quite a different, some would argue, darker social media landscape where those same democratizing forces are now being exploited in ways we could not foresee. With the rapid change on social media platforms and their affordances, the heightened emphasis on mobile and visual communication, the rise of bots, and the increased participation of state actors, we believe it is time to revisit the ideas of Networked Influence and Virality once more! Powered by networked influence and made possible by privately owned social media platforms, we are said to be in a sharing economy. We are now owning less and sharing more, giving and receiving crowdsourced content, adapting, innovating, remaking, and re-sharing original and remixed materials. New attitudes, practices, and legal precedents about ownership, rights, and information evaluation are emerging with the growing use of social media. The joys of sharing and connecting through social media-as amateur music videos inspire responses and the sharing of cute animal videos brings joy to millions-are tempered with concerns about the manipulation and exploitation of social media platforms. Hateful, anti-social speech, coordinated misinformation campaigns (i.e. "fake news") and "false flag" operation by actors unknown now dominate the news cycle and compete for an opportunity to "go viral." Considering the rapid changes in social media environments, use, and users, the conference organizers invite scholarly and original submissions that relate to the 2018 theme of "Networked Influence and Virality." We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised below: * How do ideas spread online? What are the outcomes of the viral spread of news, memes, content, and creative production? * Who are the new influencers and power players in the information landscape of social media? * How important are bots in this landscape? How do bots act as social actors? In what ways are they transforming social media? * Algorithmic filtering is now the norm on all major social media platforms; how has their implementation changed the user experience? * What are the impacts of misinformation and propaganda on elections, commerce, and the attention economy? * Is faster, frictionless communication still an ideal to strive for or have we gone too far? Do we need to reintroduce some frictions back to social media platforms? * How do corporate interests, activities, sales, and profit motivations drive or otherwise affect sharing practices? * What are the characteristics of contemporary social media practices that drive the need for new laws, sharing conventions, censorship, rights to be heard and to be forgotten? * Do social media users understand, or are they even aware of, the ethical considerations related to sharing, and re-mixing content on social media? * How do users evaluate information received through social media? * How does viral culture affect policy, power dynamics, corporations, activists, and personal interests? * What new methodologies, tools, and frameworks can researchers bring to bear in studying the flow of information on social media? * How do sharing, memes, and viral events contribute to theory-building about our society? >From its inception, the International Conference on Social Media & Society Conference (#SMSociety) has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited academic and industry keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016; and more recently discussing the dark side of social media with Lee Rainie and Ron Deibert in 2017. Organized by the Social Media Lab <http://socialmedialab.ca/> at Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference's intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters. The wide-ranging topics in social media showcase research from scholars working in many fields including Communication, Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Management, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, etc. <http://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/> TOPICS OF INTEREST .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2018 Minitrack: The Dark Side of Social Media Datum: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 18:26:18 +0000 (UTC) Von: Qin Weng <qinweng(a)yahoo.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Conference: AMCIS 2018 - Digital Disruption, New Orleans, LA, August 16-18. Minitrack: The Dark Side of Social Media Track: Social Computing Description of the Minitrack: The widespread adoption of social media is accompanied with arising challenges and problems. The positive effects of social media have received much attention, while the negative impacts and outcomes of social media use remain an under-explored area of research. Emerging IS research has begun to examine the dark side of social media that negatively impacts people’s personal lives or disrupts the operation of organizations and societies. In recent years, with the development in social media mobile applications, the problems and scope of risks in social media use have intensified. This mini-track invites papers that identify and address the dark side of social media. The objective is to raise awareness of the emerging negative aspects in social media use, and to address the challenges of maintaining a safe and productive environment for social media use. Empirical, theoretical, or position papers are welcome in this track. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following: - Privacy and security concerns with social media - Cyber bullying - Social media addiction and isolation - Social media and safety - Social media on health (physical and/or mental) - Social media and productivity/job performance - Social media and education- Social media on business communication - Social media and democracy - Social media on law enforcement - Social media and personal relationship - Social media and politics - Social media, face to face interaction, and personal fulfillment - Social media and society - Online identity, scam, hoax, and phishing - Ethical, legal issues and freedom of speech in social media Submission types: Full paper submissions (<5000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) and ERF papers (<3500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) must be made electronically through Manuscript Central. Important dates: - January 2018: Manuscript submissions begin - February 28, 2018: Completed Research, ERFs submissions due - April 17, 2018: Decisions made for Completed Research, ERFs submissions Minitrack chairs: Dr. Qin Weng qweng(a)katz.pitt.edu University of Pittsburgh Dr. Wendy Wang wendy_phoenix(a)hotmail.com Trident University International More information is available at http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ or by contacting the Minitrack chairs (contact details above). _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
