-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Special Issue on Blockchain Technology and Applications for Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeBM) (Daning Hu) Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2018 10:34:21 +0800 From: Hu Daning <hdaning(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: Special Issue of Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeBM) on Blockchain Technology and Applications Editors-in-Chief: J. Becker; M.J. Shaw Guest Editors: Hsing Kenneth Cheng, University of Florida Daning Hu, Southern University of Science and Technology Thomas Puschmann, University of Zurich J. Leon Zhao, City University of Hong Kong The notion of blockchain technology and its application in cryptocurrency has attracted huge attention due to the recent Bitcoin hype. The Economist article of October 31, 2015 called blockchain as the trust machine that will change how businesses will run and how transactions will be conducted. No other single technology has been so hyped in recent years, even the Internet or the Web. The year of 2017 has witnessed a tidal wave in business investments and government initiatives. Blockchain technology is a new type of distributed database technology that has the potential to revolutionize how transaction information is stored and managed in networked markets and institutions. One of the most promising blockchain applications is smart contract that uses blockchain to record and enforce the rules digitally encoded in contracts. It can automatically trigger the execution of such rules if certain conditions are met and they are detected by the blockchain. This approach can ensure the credibility of the contracts without involving third parties or intermediaries and thus can largely reduce the transaction costs. Due to its capability in keeping decentralized records and providing automated mechanisms to enforce contracts, blockchain has great potential in various business applications, such as digital currencies, recording public information such as birth certificates or legal documents. It not only can change the technologies that support the secure and efficient storage and processing of information, but may also transform the business principles and processes embedded in traditional centralized organizations and societies. It is expected that blockchain and smart contract will automate much of the clerical work in all types of organizations, thus causing another wave of business redesign and reengineering. There is no doubt that opportunities abound for scholars to systematically study blockchain technology, particularly from the Information Systems (IS) perspective. In this special issue on blockchain technology and applications, we call for studies that adopt all IS research methods, such as design science, behavioral science, and IS economics. Relevant topics for this special issue may include (but not limited to): • Blockchain technologies and applications • Blockchain based business innovation • Blockchain driven digital currencies • Blockchain and smart contracts • Blockchain induced redesign of business processes, models and organizations. • Blockchain and its impacts in public sectors • Blockchain centric ecosystems and communities • Business value of blockchain • Acceptance of blockchain technologies in business organizations and among individual users • Privacy and security issues related to blockchain Editorial Board: Niklas Arvidsson, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Fergal Carton, University College Cork Shaokun Fan, Oregon State University Tim Alexander Herberger, Bamberg University Lars Hornuf, University of Bremen Siyuan Liu, Pennsylvania State University Yipeng Liu, Northern Illinois University Xiaowei Mei, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Mahdi Moqri, Iowa State University Zhe Shan, Miami University Jun Shen, University of Wollongong Lijian Wei, Sun Yat-Sen university Jiaqi Yan, Nanjing University Important Dates: March 30, 2019 Deadline for submission July 30, 2018 First round of reviews completed Oct 30, 2019 Deadline for revised papers Jan 30, 2020 Second round reviews completed Feb 15, 2020 Final editorial decisions on papers acceptance for the special issue All papers will be peer reviewed and must follow the standard guidelines for manuscript preparation and submission posted on the ISeB website ( https://link.springer.com/journal/10257).

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Scandinavian Conference on IS and Information Systems research seminar in Scandianavia

22 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Scandinavian Conference on IS and Information Systems research seminar in Scandianavia Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 13:30:28 +0000 From: Samuli Pekkola <samuli.pekkola(a)tut.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> First call for papers and workshop/tutorial proposals Tampere University warmly welcomes you to the 42nd Information Systems Research Seminar (IRIS) in Scandinavia and the 10th Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS) which take place in Nokia, Finland in August 11-14 2019. The theme is Smart Transformation. Digitalization changes the world. Information systems, software applications and other technologies are in a central role in this change. They enable new work practices and processes, new business models and opportunities, initiate changes in how technologies are used, perceived and interpreted, and ultimately force individuals, organizations, and even societies at large to respond to those changes. Individuals, organizations, and societies have to somehow transform and adjust their old ways of doing things. Yet, not only technologies drive digital transformation. Increasing amounts of data that is produced by numerous sensors, applications, and systems account for the transformation as well. Such data is gathered and collected, merged together, and analyzed by different methods and tools; by using artificial intelligence, data analytics, or data science. The sense-making of such versatile data is of importance because not only can it be used to improve decision-making at workplaces but also, it can be utilized for the benefit of individuals and societies, in organizational and non-work settings. These views, transformation and smartness, pose several questions for information system (IS) research. In general, we might ask what actually is the smartness of individuals, organizations, or a society. We can even ask whether stakeholders possess the required abilities, skills and competences to enable and support the change. These, and other related questions arise due to fast evolving landscape of information technology, and information and technology. The nuanced understanding of Smart Transformation in IS has become even more critical due to governmental and organizational programs that foster smartness. The theme of Smart Transformation will headline both IRIS32 and SCIS10, influence keynotes, and hopefully elicit insightful contributions from the authors submitting their works to IRIS42 or SCIS10. We invite both regular submissions and submissions targeted at Smart Transformation special issue to appear in Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems. We seek several contributions: - SCIS papers: regular papers with double blind review process, about 6000 words, to be published in AIS digital library. - IRIS papers; peer reviewed by other authors, max 6000 pages, to be dealt in "workshop style approach"; only selected papers will be published in AIS digital library. - Workshop proposals. - SCIS papers, focusing on the conference theme, have chances to be fast tracked to Scandinavian Journal of IS. These papers are presented in SCIS and discussed in a special workshop. Dates: 07.02.2019 SCIS Submission Deadline 01.03.2019 Workshop/tutorial proposal Deadline 29.03.2019 SCIS Reviews Due 05.04.2019 IRIS Submission Deadline 01.05.2019 SCIS Final Submission Deadline 17.05.2019 IRIS Reviews Due 14.06.2019 IRIS Final Paper Submission Deadline 21.06.2019 - Early Bird Registration 11-14.08.2019 Conference in Nokia For more information, see: https://www.irisscis2019.com/ and the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/IrisScis2019/. Similar to 2018 event, IRIS association is again sponsoring non-Scandinavian accepted SCIS-paper authors.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ECIS 2019 Final Call for Papers - Track Business Analytics and Big Data Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 22:41:13 +0000 From: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> * Apologies for cross-posting * === CALL FOR PAPERS === European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2019) Track "Business Analytics and Big Data" June 8-14, 2019, Stockholm, Sweden (http://ecis2019.eu/) Deadline for paper submissions: November 27th, 2018 === TRACK CHAIRS === Barbara Dinter (corresponding track chair) Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de<mailto:barbara.dinter@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de%3cmailto:barbara.dinter@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> Patrick Mikalef Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway patrick.mikalef(a)ntnu.no<mailto:patrick.mikalef@ntnu.no> Paul A.

Thereby, haring data, information, and knowledge constitutes the foundation for the "datafication of society". Consequently, novel and advanced approaches for collecting, storing, managing, and analysing data are required and challenge practitioners and academia as more and more data (big data) becomes available. This trend, as well as digitalisation in general, foster the assimilation and further development of business intelligence and business analytics (BI&A) approaches within organisations and across various industries. The Sharing Society has a boosting effect on the already unprecedented pace of data growth and complexity, with movements such as that of sharing and open data promising to generate sustainable value. In addition, governments and non-profit organisations can benefit from the new opportunities raised by BI&A applications and technologies. Many scholars are now emphasising the importance of BI&A and big data approaches as well as information assets for efficient and effective decision support, management, and leadership. BI&A is essential for an organisations' daily business, directly influencing firm performance and business development in a global world. It is not limited to a traditional and isolated organisational focus. The application of BI&A and big data approaches enables us to integrate, analyse, visualise, and ultimately understand and improve the complex processes that make up our digitised world. Such approaches are enablers for knowledge discovery benefitting societies, organisations, and individuals leading to smart technologies. Improved communication, more sustainable processes, as well as new business models are examples for the innovative use of disparate data sources (such as mobile, the Internet of Things, streaming data or social media data). Furthermore, the availability of seemingly endless computing and cheaper storage capabilities available through cloud computing enables new opportunities in providing a global gateway to information as a service and to a Sharing Society. Over the past few years, there has much enthusiasm around big data analytics as organizations explore how they can leverage their data to create and maintain a competitive advantage. As such, today's companies try to collect and process as much data as possible, with the aim of improving their decision-making processes. Nevertheless, while there is some empirical evidence that big data analytics can create value, the thesis that it leads to performance gains requires deeper analysis. To date, there is limited understanding of how organizations need to change to embrace these technological innovations, and the business shifts they entail. As big data tools and applications diffuse into the organizational fabric, they will inevitably change longstanding ideas about decision making, management practices, and most importantly competitive strategy formulation. Motivated by the explosion of interest in these emerging fields, the present track aims to promote multidisciplinary contributions dealing with socio-economic, organizational, technological, cultural and societal perspectives. Furthermore, outcomes that demonstrate critical success factors on the organizational impact of big data and BI&A in terms of competitive performance, innovativeness, increased agility, and market capitalizing competence are encouraged. We welcome submissions based on quantitative and qualitative work, theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioural research Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * The role of BI&A and big data in a Sharing Society * Emerging concepts and methodologies of BI&A * Use cases and innovative applications of BI&A * BI&A in and for the Sharing economy, BI&A in the cloud, BI&A as a service * Data, text and process mining for business analytics * Social media analytics for business * Data visualisation, visual analytics * Real-time analytics and operational BI, event-driven BA * BI&A and big data's new frontiers in, e.g., social (media), sports, education, healthcare * Big Data * Strategic and change management issues stemming from BI&A and big data * Business value and success of BI&A and big data * Data-driven competitive advantage * Adoption, routinisation, maturity, and use of BI&A and big data * Big data management * Big data driven business model innovation * Digital ecosystem big data * Data privacy, data quality, and data governance * Digital manufacturing and the Internet of Things * Human resource management in the data-driven enterprise * Opportunities and challenges of sharing data and of open data --- Prof. Dr. Barbara Dinter Chemnitz University of Technology Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Business Information Systems Group Thueringer Weg 7, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany Barbara.Dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de<mailto:Barbara.Dinter@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/wirtschaft/wi1 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
