Details below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALL FOR PAPERS 24th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) SIGOPEN Minitrack "Sustainable Open Business Models and Ecosystems" August 16-18, 2018, New Orleans, LA (http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/?page_id=111#toggle-id-19) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MINITRACK DESCRIPTION Openness affords individuals, organisations and communities the opportunity to sustainably create and capture value through legal, technological, socio-cultural and organisational transparency. However, this value is only possible through the adoption and/or development of appropriate business models, organisational forms, and ecosystems that support openness. Does openness make sense in all domains? How can openness transform the way in which individuals, groups, organisations and communities create, capture and disseminate material? In what ways can business benefit from adopting openness? What do these business models look like? How do openness business models differ from other business models? Once an organisation adopts an open business model, what next? How does the organisation ensure that the model is sustainable over time? What types of open ecosystems are likely to thrive given the complex network of actors, software and services involved in such communities? Where are the domains that would most benefit from a transparent business model and/or ecosystem? How do we prepare people to work and/or live within an open business model/ecosystem? In a world increasingly concerned with ethical data capture, storage and use, openness may provide the answer to the worries of individuals, organisations and communities. What kinds of open business models and/or ecosystems have the potential to address these fears? How can the information systems field contribute to the development of sustainable open business models and ecosystems? This mini-track invites research papers and research-in-progress papers on topics relating to sustainable open business models and ecosystems. We are interested in the application of openness to diverse contexts and the sustainability of ensuing business models and ecosystems that emerge. We welcome a broad range of research methods including quantitative, qualitative, theoretical, literature review, case study, and other research approaches. Topics of interest to the track include but are not limited to: * Open business models * Open ecosystems * Openness and sustainability * Openness communities and collaboration * Open innovation models * Openness and crowdsourcing models * Openness culture * Open business innovation models * Open communities and trust * Open business models project management * Openness and co-creation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUBMISSION DETAILS Instructions: * http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/?page_id=112 Important Dates: * 28th February 2018 - Paper submission deadline * 17th April 2018 – authors notified of decisions on paper submissions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MINITRACK CHAIRS Prof. Joseph Feller, University College Cork (jfeller(a)ucc.ie<mailto:jfeller@ucc.ie>) Dr. Gaye Kiely, University College Cork (gaye.kiely(a)ucc.ie<mailto:gaye.kiely@ucc.ie>) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP // AMCIS 2018 // Social Inclusion Track Datum: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 21:59:37 +0000 Von: Windeler, Jaime (windeljb) <windeljb(a)ucmail.uc.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS at the 24th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) New Orleans, Louisiana, USA August 16-18, 2018 Track: Social Inclusion Sponsored by: SIG-Social Inclusion Track Chair: Jaime Windeler; Jaime.Windeler(a)uc.edu<mailto:Jaime.Windeler@uc.edu> Selected completed papers may be invited to submit to The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems for full review. Track Description: The Social Inclusion track welcomes relevant theoretical, empirical, and intervention research, in either completed research or emergent research format, that relates to the mission of SIG Social Inclusion (SIGSI). The purpose of SIGSI is to promote research, pedagogy, and outreach on all aspects of social inclusion in the field of Information Systems (IS). The goal of such efforts is to stimulate greater diversity of thought and personnel in AIS and the IS field overall, and participation of all AIS members in a more socially-aware and inclusive discipline. Social inclusion research investigates the part IT plays in enabling or inhibiting individuals and social groups' participation in the social structures in which they exist and the needs of under-represented producers or consumers of information systems and technology within the IT field. Topics include: the underrepresentation of gender minorities, race, ethnicities, neurodiversity, and abilities in the IS field, intersectionality of identities (such as ethnicity, gender and socio-economic class), socioeconomic divisions that impact access to or use of technology, designing for the differently-abled, the digital divide, underserved groups in the information society, and a range of topics related to human diversity, and the "haves" and "have nots" in the information society. The Social Inclusion track includes four minitracks: Minitrack 1: Social Inclusion Chair: Katherine Chudoba, kathy.chudoba(a)usu.edu<mailto:kathy.chudoba@usu.edu> This mini-track welcomes theoretical, empirical, and intervention research, in either completed research or emergent research forum (research-in-progress) format, which relates to the mission of SIG Social Inclusion (SIGSI). SIGSI promotes research, pedagogy, and outreach on all aspects of social inclusion in the field of Information Systems (IS). The goal is to stimulate greater diversity of thought and personnel in AIS and the IS field overall, and participation of all our members in a more socially-aware and inclusive discipline. Social inclusion research includes topics such as the gender gap in the IS field, gender minorities (e.g. LGBTQ community), intersectionality of identities (such as ethnicity, gender and socio-economic class), socioeconomic divisions that impact access to or use of technology, the digital divide, underserved groups in the information society (such as persons with disability), and a range of topics related to human diversity, and the 'haves' and 'have nots ' in the information society. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minitrack 2: Gender Issues in IS Co-chair: Deborah Armstrong, djarmstrong(a)fsu.ed<mailto:djarmstrong@fsu.ed> Co-chair: Cindy Riemenschneider, c_riemenschneider(a)baylor.edu<mailto:c_riemenschneider@baylor.edu> This mini track covers gender issues that are emerging where people and technology meet in a global marketplace. These issues may be examined from an organizational, social, managerial, cultural, psychological, and/or political perspective using individual, workgroup or department, or industry levels of analysis. Studies developing or extending theory on various workforce issues, related to gender, professional identity, the gig economy, or human capital analytics are just a few examples of the range of papers seen in this minitrack. This minitrack also welcomes papers which offer insights into the training, professional development, and engagement of current and future generations of IS professionals as well as succession planning for continued success. This minitrack enthusiastically welcomes all methodologies and research paradigms as well as cross-cultural studies and best practices/lessons learned that focus on the intersection of people and technology. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minitrack 3: Social Theory in Information Systems Research Co-chair: Howard Rosenbaum, hrosenba(a)indiana.edu<mailto:hrosenba@indiana.edu> Co-chair: Pnina Fichman, fichman(a)indiana.edu<mailto:fichman@indiana.edu> This minitrack solicits papers using social theory to critically examine ICTs and their roles in enabling and constraining social inclusion. We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research using social theory to address the conference theme, Digital Disruption, exploring the ways in which emerging technologies are changing the sociotechnical landscape in ways that narrow or widen the digital divide. Issues might include improving access to computing for underrepresented minorities, reengineering the pipeline in STEM education for greater inclusiveness and diversity, critically assessing the ways in which ICTs and information systems can be used to privilege some and exclude others, and the ways in which ICT assemblages support and challenge political, cultural, and economic hegemonies. This will be the 18th consecutive year for STIR, and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality papers, and thought-provoking and lively discussion for IS researchers using social theory in their work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minitrack 4: IT-Enabled Social Inclusion of Differently Abled People Chair: Rakesh Babu, rakesh0208(a)gmail.com<mailto:rakesh0208@gmail.com> This mini-track invites contributions based on completed or in-progress research on the broad theme of IT-enabled social inclusion of the differently-abled (DA). DA include the blind & visually-impaired, the elderly, the hearing-impaired and the dyslexic. They are atypical users who interact with IT differently. Often, they face systemic and functional barriers in effective use of IT. Moreover, they are an under-studied population in Information Systems discipline. We draw the attention of the AIS community to the broad theme of IT-enabled Social Inclusion of the DA. The long-term goal is to leverage the unique skill-sets of DA users to develop an inclusive information society. Relevant topics include Information Systems Accessibility & Usability; Universal Access to IS Education; E-learning of DA; Social/ Mobile Computing through Assistive-Technology; Healthcare IS for the DA; Public Policy and/or Legal Implications of Accessibility and Usability. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Important Dates:*** * 15 January 2018: ScholarOne opens for submissions * 28 February 2018: ScholarOne closes for submissions * 18 April 2018: Notification of initial decisions _________________________________ Jaime Windeler, PhD Assistant Professor of Information Systems Carl H.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Maritime Informatics – AMICS 2018 CFP Datum: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 17:05:31 -0600 Von: Richard Watson <rickwatson(a)mac.com> An: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), New Orleans, August 16-18, 2018 http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ <http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/> Mini-Track Title: Maritime Informatics Track: Green IS and Sustainability (SIGGreen) Track description Maritime Informatics studies the application of information systems to increasing the efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability of the world’s shipping industry. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), international shipping moves about 90 per cent of global trade and is the most efficient and cost-effective method for the international transportation of most goods. Hence, shipping is critical to future sustainable global economic growth. The industry can be characterized as many independent actors who engage in episodic tight coupling. It has, however, been a late starter to digitization, possibly because of the long history of autonomy and the lack of inexpensive high bandwidth communication when on the ocean. A lack of information sharing impedes collaboration and reduces efficiency and safety. As a result, there are many opportunities to apply IS theory and knowledge to a critical global industry. Call for papers According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), international shipping moves about 90 per cent of global trade and is the most efficient and cost-effective method for the international transportation of most goods. Because of its efficiency, shipping is critical to future sustainable global economic growth. Thus, the advancement of sustainable shipping and maritime development is a major priority for IMO, which is the UN agency responsible for global shipping standards, safety, security, and environmental impact. Shipping is an old industry, starting with river trading on the Euphrates at the beginning of agricultural development. A ship’s captain has considerable autonomy, and the industry can be characterized as many independent actors (e.g., ship captain, port authority, terminal operator, tug master, pilot, and shipping agent) who engage in episodic tight coupling (e.g., a pilot meeting a boat and guiding it into harbor) for mutual benefit. The shipping industry has been a late starter to digitization, possibly because of the long history of high autonomy and the lack of inexpensive high bandwidth communication when on the ocean. The lack of information sharing impedes collaboration and reduces efficiency, safety, and sustainable. As a result, a group of scholars associated with IRSE Viktoria in Gothenburg formulated a new IS topic, namely Maritime Informatics, which studies the application of information systems to increasing the efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability of the world’s shipping industry. In mid 2014, the first scholarly post in Maritime Informatics was established within the Center for Digital Innovation, a cooperative effort of the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. The position is partly funded by the Swedish Maritime Administration. The track seeks submissions that address some of the following questions or others related to the general notion of Maritime Informatics as defined in this call. How do you design an information sharing system for the shipping industry to enhance coordination and planning to increase efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability? How do you design an information sharing system for an ecosystem constrained by a culture of limited cooperation? What are appropriate standards for data sharing within the shipping ecosystems? What is the role of real-time digital data streams in enhancing shipping efficiency? How can information systems increase the efficiency of episodic tight coupling? How does the shipping industry digitize its natural, human, and economic capital to improve efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability? How can information systems contribute to effective sea traffic management? What theory bases can inform Maritime Informatics? What prior research can accelerate the development of Maritime Informatics? How can the application of information systems in other domains inspire the adoption of digitization in the maritime sector? What value can be extracted from Marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) data? How can it be combined with other data streams to create additional value?
