-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFC_Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 13:59:11 +0200 From: George Mastorakis <mastorakis(a)gmail.com> Organization: Technological Educational Institute of Crete ** ** *Call for Book Chapters for the Springer-Verlag Handbook:*** *“Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things”*** *Series on Internet of Things - Technologies, Communications and Computing (covered by Scopus)* *//* */Editors/* *George Mastorakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece* *Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis, University of Nicosia, Cyprus* *Jordi Mongay Batalla, National Institute of Telecommunications, Poland* *Evangelos Pallis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece* ** The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been introduced to characterize smart objects that can communicate and exchange information via the existing Web infrastructure, as well as future 5G mobile networking architectures. Cloud-based IoT mechanisms are utilized to enable the interconnection of a variety of smart objects, such as, cars, cell phones and sensors inside smart cities, smart businesses and smart home environments. IoT based objects produce a vast volume of information frequently called as Big Data, which cannot be easily processed by traditional algorithms and schemes. However, future smart environments will enable efficient handling and processing of Big Data that is generated by the associated objects for an effective communication and co-operation among them. In any case, there is profoundly helpful data and many values in trying to analyze, as well as process it. IoT-based objects have an increased consideration from researchers in several scientific fields and disciplines. In addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial role in such environments, enabling for smarter services, applications, business processes and social interaction among the IoT objects. In this respect, a great potential exists for advanced technological solutions combined with AI and IoT-enabled capabilities. AI mechanisms applied in IoT environments can be exploited in smart homes to analyze human actions via motion or facial recognition sensors. AI will play a significant role in future IoT applications and infrastructures, by providing insights from collected data. This capability will enable the identification of patterns and will allow operational predictions with higher accuracy in small time periods. AI applications for smart devices will also enable businesses to develop new products, reduce possible risks and increase efficiency during the production time, by predicting failures that are usually non-detectable by humans or simple devices. The future of the implementation of AI-powered IoT infrastructures depends on the effective solutions to a number of technical challenges that such paradigms introduce. These challenges include intelligent sensor capabilities improvement, smart Big Data analytics, automated remote data management, as well as open and secure composition of processes, which may be implemented into emerging AI-enabled IoT scenarios. Some initiatives try to incorporate Artificial Intelligence schemes in IoT environments, but new frameworks have to be defined. In fact, the approach of IoT is to find the potential benefits of AI, in order to build extensive ecosystems, for increasing the number of automated services and their value. In this respect, this book aims to gather recent research works in emerging Artificial Intelligence methods for processing and storing the data generated from cloud-based Internet of Things infrastructures. The major subjects of the proposed book will cover the analysis and the development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoT applications and architectures. Topics of interest include but are /_not limited_/ to: •Emerging trends of AI in the IoT •Architectures and systems for AI and IoT convergence •IoT with Machine Learning technologies •AI and IoT applications •AI-enabled IoT systems •Performance Evaluation of Deep Learning and IoT-related mechanisms •IoT interfaces •IoT programming and APIs issues/concepts and architectures •IoT with deep learning schemes •Social computing and Intelligent IoT •Context oriented computing •Blockchain oriented schemes and related topics •Big Data Analysis •Modern Artificial Intelligence and Automation •Ethics of Artificial Intelligence •AI for health care systems •Web intelligence applications & search •Ambient Intelligence •Artificial immune systems •Autonomous and ubiquitous computing •Data Fusion •Self-Organising Networks •Virtual and Augmented Reality •Intelligent sensors // /We strongly welcome _other topic suggestions,_ dealing with AI and //IoT and any converged approach./ _Schedule & Deadlines_ ·*_31^st December 2018_**__* Chapter proposal (max. 2-pages)/Intention to submit a chapter ·*_31^st March 2019_**__* Full chapter submission via e-mail: mastorakis(a)gmail.comand via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiot19) ·*_31^st May 2019_**__* Review comments ·*_30^th June 2019_**__* Submission of the revised version ·*_31^st July 2019_**__* Final acceptance notification ·*_31^st August 2019_**__* Final manuscript _Manuscript Preparation_ * Please follow the manuscript formatting guidelines below and submit the original version (in */Microsoft word/*) and or */LaTex/* format as per the guidelines (URL: www.cs.unic.ac.cy/cmavrom/T1-book(IoT).zip <http://www.cs.unic.ac.cy/cmavrom/T1-book%28IoT%29.zip>). ·Each final manuscript should be about 25-35 pages long (formatted).

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: ECIS 2019 - Track "Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age"
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: ECIS 2019 - Track "Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age" Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 11:11:27 +0100 From: Nils Urbach <nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de CC: mwiener(a)bentley.edu (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2019) Track: Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age June 8-14, 2019, Stockholm-Uppsala, Sweden (http://ecis2019.eu/) **************************************************************************** TRACK CHAIRS Nils Urbach, University of Bayreuth & Fraunhofer FIT, Germany, nils.urbach(a)uni-bayreuth.de <mailto:nils.urbach@uni-bayreuth.de> (corresponding track chair) Martin Wiener, Bentley University, USA, mwiener(a)bentley.edu <mailto:mwiener@bentley.edu> Monideepa Tarafdar, Lancaster University, UK, m.tarafdar(a)lancaster.ac.uk <mailto:m.tarafdar@lancaster.ac.uk> DESCRIPTION In the digital age, innovative technologies significantly influence work processes, products, services, and business models, e.g., by connecting individuals, organizations, machines, and other ‘things’ in new ways, as well as by enabling novel working, collaboration, and automation models (Fitzgerald et al., 2013). For companies, this development often poses a significant challenge. To succeed in this changing competitive environment, companies must unfold the potential of digital technologies in their business strategies, transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that are the central to their value propositions (Legner et al., 2017). In short, pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations’ IT functions. Besides ensuring regular IT operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into marketable solutions – and with that to directly contribute to the company’s central value propositions (Urbach et al., 2017). In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems), novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance (Markus, 2017; Newell & Marabelli, 2015). For instance, while cloud services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of governing the design and use of such services and associated IT resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev, 2016). Digital business models that revolve around resource sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor, 2014). Similarly, while AI-based algorithms can automate business processes, they highlight even more urgently, the need for data fidelity and process management (Tarafdar et al., 2017). At the same time, in organizations where more ‘traditional’ technologies and work practices are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges remain highly important and complex (Wiener et al., 2016). The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. One, from the point of view of scholarly research, the objective is to foster and promote novel theories and concepts on IS strategy and governance, with a particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Two, the track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage emerging digital technologies, respond to digitalization challenges, and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources. The track is open to all types of contributions—including research in progress—studying IS strategy and governance topics from different stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g., for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, project, program, corporate, network, and societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual and empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the conference theme “Information Systems for a Sharing Society” by focusing on IS strategy and governance issues related to the sharing of IT and other resources. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: > Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities, sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic objectives into governance practices and structures) > Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on business models, governance structures, and processes, etc. > Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g., new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies operating with dual/coexisting traditional and digital business models) > Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g., ‘digital race’ between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT relationships) > Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic performance management, IT-mediated control of work processes) > Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g., Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, IT-enabled product-service systems, digital platforms and ecosystems, resource sharing, etc.) > Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development, human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g., crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing) > Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and policies for critical infrastructures) > Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional side-effects (e.g., technostress) > Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age (e.g., truly ‘new’ features and challenges of digitalization, links to traditional research streams) > Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden, or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the digital age.

The practical operations were then organized by professor Setsuo Ohsuga in Japan and professors Hannu Kangassalo and Hannu Jaakkola in Finland (Nordic countries). Geographical scope has expanded to cover Europe and also other countries. Workshop characteristic - discussion, time enough for presentations and limited number of participants (50) / papers (30) - is typical to the conference. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Conceptual modelling: Modelling and specification languages; Domain-specific conceptual modelling; Concepts, concept theories and ontologies; Conceptual modelling of large and heterogeneous systems; Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data; Methods for developing, validating and communicating conceptual models. 2. Knowledge and information modelling and discovery: Knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management; Advanced data mining and analysis methods; Conceptions of knowledge and information;Modelling information requirements; Intelligent information systems; Information recognition and information modelling. 3. Linguistic modelling: Models of HCI; Information delivery to users; Intelligent informal querying; Linguistic foundation of information and knowledge; Fuzzy linguistic models; Philosophical and linguistic foundations of conceptual models. 4. Cross-cultural communication and social computing: Cross-cultural support systems; Integration, evolution and migration of systems; Collaborative societies; Multicultural web-based software systems; Intercultural collaboration and support systems; Social computing, behavioral modeling and prediction. 5. Environmental modelling and engineering: Environmental information systems (architecture); Spatial, temporal and observational information systems; Large-scale environmental systems; Collaborative knowledge base systems;Agent concepts and conceptualisation; Hazard prediction, prevention and steering systems. 6. Multimedia data modelling and systems: Modelling multimedia information and knowledge; Content-based multimedia data management; Content-based multimedia retrieval; Privacy and context enhancing technologies;Semantics and pragmatics of multimedia data; Metadata for multimedia information systems. Publication: EJC (European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases) is defined as the selection process of the final journal-paper publication in "Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases" by the EJC Organization and Program Committee of "International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases" . The papers selected as journal papers are published in the Series of "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence" by IOS Press (Amsterdam) after the conference for international distributions. The books "Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases Vol. n" are edited by the Editing Committee of the conference. Improved papers must be sent by next September, after the conference. Each of the position papers is reviewed in the presentation and the improved version by Program Committee, whether or not it can be accepted as the final journal print.
