-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: CAiSE 2019, 3-7 June 2019, Roma, Italy Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 12:44:48 +0000 From: Monique Snoeck <monique.snoeck(a)kuleuven.be> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CAiSE’19 - 31th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering 3-7 June 2019, Roma, Italy https://www.caise19.it/ Abstract submission: 23 November 2018 Paper submission: 30 November 2018‚ 23:59 PST (strict) Notification to authors: 28 February 2019 Workshops proposals submission: 1 November 2018 Theme: Responsible Information Systems Modern companies and governments are increasingly software-managed as they become more digitalized and automated. The effects of digitalization enabled new economic models and transformed entire industries. Trends like IoT, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as blockchain technology are expected to push digital transformation even further. Changes occur at an ever-increasing pace, require from organizations high velocity decision-making and flexible information systems that can rapidly align to these changes. While many of these technologies bear huge potential for information systems, increasing flexibility and supporting decision-making, they also raise privacy, security, and ethical concerns and require trustworthiness. This poses new challenges for information systems engineers. The CAiSE conference will continue its tradition as the premiere venue for innovative and rigorous research across the whole spectrum of Information Systems Engineering, while placing a special emphasis on the theme of Responsible Information Systems. This year‚ the conference theme acknowledges the need for designing information systems that are not only flexible enough for digital transformation, but are also responsible by considering privacy, security, and ethical concerns and providing trustworthiness. Besides offering an exciting scientific program, CAiSE’19 will feature a best paper award, a special issue, and a PhD-thesis award: - Best Paper Award‚ prize 1 000 euros (sponsored by Springer) - Special Issue of CAiSE’19 in the Information Systems Journal‚ - PhD-Thesis Award‚ best PhD thesis of a past CAISE Doctoral Consortium author (co-sponsored by the CAiSE Steering Committee and Springer). Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must conform to Springer‚ LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found at: https://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html Submission is done through EasyChair at the following page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise19 The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Three to five keywords characterising the paper should be listed at the end of the abstract. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two program committee members and, if positively evaluated, by one additional program board member. The selected papers will be discussed among the paper reviewers on-line and additionally during the program board meeting. Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE’19 and published in the conference proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). We invite four types of original and scientific papers: * Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential‚ or, even better, the evaluated‚ benefits of the contribution. * Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate. * Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice. * Exploratory papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools, new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate why current methods, tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must also rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and correctness to addressing the identified situation. The type of the submission must be indicated in the first page of the paper, under the title. For all the submissions and depending on their type, we invite the authors to be explicit about the research method used. Contributions are welcome in terms of models, methods, techniques, architecture and technologies. Each contribution should explicitly address the engineering or the operation of information systems. Each contribution should clearly identify the information systems problem addressed as well as the expected positive impact of the contribution to information system engineering or operation. We strongly advise authors to clearly emphasize those aspects in their paper, including the abstract. Contributions about methods, models, techniques, architectures and platforms for supporting the engineering and evolution of information systems and organizations could include (but are not limited to): * Novel approaches to IS Engineering Context-aware and adaptive systems Agile enterprise models and architecture Distributed, mobile and open architecture IS for collaboration Social computing Customer analytics Big data application in IS Application of AI in IS Data and business analytics Use of new visualization techniques in IS Service science and innovation * Models, Methods and Techniques in IS Engineering Conceptual modeling, languages and design Requirements engineering Business process modeling, analysis, and engineering Process mining Models and methods for evolution and reuse Domain and method engineering Variability and configuration management Compliance and alignment handling Active and interactive models Quality of IS models for analysis and design * Architectures and Platforms for IS Engineering Big Data architectures Cloud-based IS engineering Service oriented IS engineering Multi-agent IS engineering Robotic Process Automation Multi-platform IS engineering Cyber-physical systems Big data and the Internet of Things Blockchains Digital twins Workflow and PAIS systems Handling of real time data streams Content management and semantic Web * Domain Specific and multi-aspect IS Engineering IT governance eGovernment Smart City management Industrial ecology management IS for healthcare Educational IS Value and supply chain management Industry 4.0 Sustainability and social responsibility management Predictive information systems Big Data and privacy Security and safety management Dark data processing --------------------- Organising Committee --------------------- Steering Committee Chair + Johann Eder, Alpen Adria University Klagenfurt, Austria General Chairs + Barbara Pernici, Politecnico di Milano, Italy + Massimo Mecella, Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy Program Chairs + Paolo Giorgini, Università di Trento, Italy + Barbara Weber, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark Workshop Chairs + Henderik A.

However, in recent times, sensors, chips, or computing devices in general changed their physical location and became much more embedded and immersive. They became wearables and they even moved onto the skin (skinnables) and into the human body (implantables). In this focus section we would like to elaborate how this revolution may affect the way we look at the relationships among humans and between humans, human elements and computing devices. Moreover, we want to discuss new ideas what should be done to improve these interactions and “entanglements” and what can be done to understand them better. This focus section is intended to provide a platform for sharing and creating new ideas about the relationships among humans, technology embedded in the environment (networked or not), and humans whose physical, physiological or/and mental capabilities are extended and/or modified by technology. Given these extended realities, the interface as we have known it and even the practical meaning of the word “interaction” have changed. This focus section wants to provide a stage to propose new methods for interaction, engagement, and relationships between technology, humans, “modified” humans and the new reality. We encourage researchers and practitioners to share their ideas and experience for these new realities of interaction, engagement, and interface mechanisms with the community. Researchers and practitioners from the areas of the Internet of things (IoT), wearables, implantables, skinnables, and embedded computing are in particular encouraged to submit papers describing their work in these mentioned areas. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Topics we want to cover in this focus section include but are not limited to the following topics: • Commercial wearables, skinnables and implantables vs. medical grade devices. Which added value do these devices give? • Possibilities of relationships among WHAT - e.g., interaction and symbiosis. Can we see a taxonomy of relationships with and within WHAT? • Holistic views: When does a group of WHAT become a team, group of organisms, or agents? • What makes a device smart? Which domains are covered or affected by a device’s smartness? • When does a wearable, an implantable, or a thing become part of the human? • What is the role of system thinking and practice in dealing with arrays of WHAT or managing them? • WHAT and the integration of senses (e.g., touch and smell). How can WHAT enhance human sensing? • WHAT vs. WHERE: Physical dimensions of WHAT. =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submitted papers must be original and should 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. Authors are invited to submit 8-20 pages paper (including authors' information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).

I am the department editor for Information Systems. Please feel free to contact me regarding submissions. Regards Rick *************************************************** Richard T. Watson Regents Professor & J. Rex Fuqua Distinguished Chair for Internet Strategy Department of MIS Terry College of Business The University of Georgia Dear Colleague, Greetings! We are happy to announce the upcoming launch of a new journal, Management and Business Review (MBR). The goal of MBR is to bridge management practice, education, and research, and thereby enhance all three. With a targeted readership of managers, students, and professors, this effort will increase the impact of academic research on organizations. Visit our website www.mbrjournal.com <http://www.mbrjournal.com/> In contrast with Harvard Business Review, the Sloan Management Review, and the California Management Review, each of which is published by a single business school, MBR is the result of a grassroots initiative with a wide participation by many leading schools. The link below, gives the details of this initiative https://sites.temple.edu/subodha/files/2018/11/MBR_Plan.pdf <https://sites.temple.edu/subodha/files/2018/11/MBR_Plan.pdf>. MBR has 123 advisors, including editors of prominent research journals and 11 professors from Wharton; eight from Harvard; six each from Dartmouth and MIT; five each from Carnegie Mellon; four each from North Carolina and Stanford; three each from Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, London Business School, Northwestern, and UCLA; and two each from California at Berkeley, Georgia State, Imperial College, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, NYU, and Ohio State. 21 of the advisors will also serve as autonomous departmental editors. Please see the details in the attached plan. Advisors also include executives from Accenture, Alidade, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, Bain & Company, Deloitte, Good Growth Capital, Mercer, and Monitor Deloitte who have published best-selling books for executives and articles in the journals like the Harvard Business Review. MBR’s editors-in-chief are Wallace J. Hopp, Distinguished University Professor and Associate Dean, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan (former Editor-in-Chief, Management Science) Kalyan Singhal, McCurdy Professor of Innovation and Supply-Chain Management, Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore (Editor-in-Chief, Production and Operations Management) We request you to share this communication with your colleagues in your organization or elsewhere and in turn ask them to share it with their colleagues in their organization and elsewhere. We hope that this would lead to a viral dissemination of the communication. We invite you to nominate yourself or your colleagues for the journal’s editorial team subject to the eligibility criteria stated in the attached plan. We also invite everyone to become a part of this initiative by registering at www.mbrjournal.com <http://www.mbrjournal.com/> so that we can send them the first issue of the journal and share with them more information on MBR. Schools that subscribe to MBR for all students will be listed as Partner Schools in MBR. Similarly, companies that subscribe to MBR for all executives will be listed as Partner Companies in MBR. A partner school or a partner company may also request its own customized edition of the journal for its constituents. The attached plan describes more details of this opportunity.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: SDM 2019 FEND Workshop, May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:48:58 -0700 From: Kai Shu <kai.shu(a)asu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers Workshop on Data Mining for Fake News in Social Media: Propagation, Detection, and Mitigation (FEND'19), in conjunction with SDM'19 http://pike.psu.edu/fend19/ May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada Social media has become a popular means to consume news. However, the quality of news on social media is lower than traditional news organizations. Because it is cheap to provide news online and much faster and easier to disseminate through social media, large volumes of fake news, i.e., those news articles with intentionally false information, are produced online for a variety of purposes, such as financial and political gain. The extensive spread of fake news can have severe negative impacts on individuals and society. First, fake news can break the authenticity balance of the news ecosystem. For example, it is evident that the most popular fake news was even more widely spread on Facebook than the most popular authentic mainstream news during the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Second, fake news intentionally persuades consumers to accept biased or false beliefs for political or financial gain. For example, in 2013, $130 billion in stock value was wiped out in a matter of minutes following an Associated Press (AP) tweet about an explosion that injured Barack Obama. AP said its Twitter account was hacked. Third, fake news changes the way people interpret and respond to real news, impeding their abilities to differentiate what is true from what is not. Therefore, it's critical to understand how fake news propagate, developing data mining techniques for efficient and accurate fake news detection and intervene in the propagation of fake news to mitigate the negative effects. The objectives of this workshop are: - Bring together researchers from both academia and industry as well as practitioners to present their latest problems and ideas; - Attract social media providers who have access to interesting sources of fake news datasets and problems but lack the expertise in data mining to use data effectively; - Enhance interactions between data mining, text mining, social media mining, and sociology and psychology communities working on problems of fake news propagation, detection, and mitigation. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and social media providers for understanding fake news propagation, improving fake news detection in social media and mitigation. Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - User behavior analysis and characterization for fake news detection - Text mining - mining news contents and user comments - Early fake news detection - Unsupervised fake news detection - Fact-checking - Tracing and characterizing the propagation of fake news and true news - Malicious account and bot detection, user credibility assessment - Visual analysis and exploration with images on the news - News event aggregation and detection - Building benchmark datasets for fake news detection in social media Paper Submission: Papers should be submitted as PDF, using the SIAM conference proceedings style, available at https://www.siam.org/Portals/0/Publications/Proceedings/soda2e_061418.zip?v…. Submissions should be limited to nine pages and submitted via CMT at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FEND2019. Important Dates: Submission deadline: February 1, 2019 Notification: March 15, 2019 SDM pre-registration deadline: April 2, 2019 Camera ready: April 15, 2019 Conference dates: May 2-4, 2019 Shall you have any questions, please email to szw494(a)psu.edu or kai.shu(a)asu.edu.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP Journal of Database Management (JDM) - Special Issue On Blockchain and Smart Contracts
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Journal of Database Management (JDM) - Special Issue On Blockchain and Smart Contracts Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 14:20:45 +0000 From: Rong Liu <rliu20(a)stevens.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Calls for Papers (special): Journal of Database Management (JDM) https://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/journal-database-manage… Special Issue On: Blockchain and Smart Contracts Submission Due Date 4/1/2019 Guest Editors Hemang Subramanian, Florida International University, USA Rong Liu, Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Introduction Every 10 to 15 years, computing has undergone a paradigm shift. Today, close to the tenth anniversary of the Bitcoin white-paper, we have the “trust” based computing era, wherein computing systems and applications can replace a centralized authority and execute programs on a censor-proof decentralized and Turing-complete, distributed global computing system (Nakomoto, 2008). Such “trust” based computing has implications for many industries such as information systems, financial and banking systems, healthcare systems, supply-chain systems, accounting methods, and business contracts. Beyond improving efficiencies and lowering costs in matching transacting entities, and facilitating faster, more-secure, soft-real time transactions, the blockchain also enables a completely new set of automated rule-based functions for smart contracts (Subramanian, 2018). In addition to the spawning of a completely different asset class of cryptocurrencies (Liu & Tsyvinski, 2018 ), the blockchain technology facilitates many different functions such as immutability, security, byzantine fault-tolerance and distributed transaction validation. Objective We propose a special issue for the Journal of Database Management that invites paper submissions that study interesting questions pertaining to the Blockchain and Smart Contracts in the following research areas. Recommended Topics 1. Blockchain Core Technologies Blockchain, as a class of distributed-transaction systems, encompasses a number of key technologies, including distributed ledger, cryptography, consensus protocols, and smart contracts. These components are leveraged together to achieve desirable properties such as disintermediation, immutability, transparency, and automation. It would be essential for researchers and practitioners to understand these underlying components, their variations, and the pros and cons of each variation so that the community can appreciate blockchain better. Topics in this category includes, but are not limited to: * Survey papers highlighting existing proofing-mechanisms, providing a comparative study of proofing mechanisms, summarizing or proposing solutions to Byzantine Fault tolerance, or studying encryption algorithms used in different blockchain systems. * Verification of smart contracts and the integration of smart contracts with business processes. * Reward and penalty mechanisms for design for oracles (e.g. Athena blockchain system), agents that extract external information and push to smart contracts. * Private and public blockchain architectures, and comparison between these two types. * Enterprise application architectures using Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) or Hyperledger applications. * New development to evolve the essential technological components of blockchain. 2. Innovative Blockchain Applications Following the success of bitcoin, blockchain initiatives proliferate across industries, many innovative applications have been proposed. These applications can provide the community better understanding of blockchain’s capabilities and the nuances of effective architectures. Topics in this category may include: * Trust based computing using blockchain mechanisms such as assurance computing, automated auditing, automated compliance, etc. * Smart contract and blockhain analytics platforms (e.g., Numerai, Polymath, etc.) * Decentralized financial exchanges and incentive mechanisms * Prediction market applications atop the blockchain (e.g., Augur, Truthcoin, etc.) * Securitized token applications – blockchain-based security token creation and validation mechanisms. * Crowdsourcing applications and reward mechanisms atop the blockchain. * Smart contract based rule validation with mechanisms for automated reasoning. 3. Decisions and Challenges Related to Blockchain Adoption Although blockchain is gaining more momentum in industries, very few blockchain applications are operational. A number of challenges have been revealed through early experiments, including efficiency, scalability, interoperability, complexity, and regulation. Moreover, systematic approaches are needed to help firms make various technological or economic decisions in designing and operationalizing blockchain based systems. Topics in this category may include: * Protocol economic mechanisms that delve into the game-theoretic or mechanism design aspects of blockchain incentives such as “renting mechanics”, “control mechanics” and “voting mechanics”. * Surveys of existing scalability challenges on blockchain systems (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) and discussion of algorithms and mechanisms to address these challenges. * Cross-chain compatibility issues; cross-chain validation mechanisms and cross-implementation issues. * Service design and pricing of blockchain Software-as-a-Service platforms. * Blockchain adoption strategies: Software-as-a-Service, consortium blockchain networks, or private blockchain platforms. * Methods to evaluate blockchain solutions in terms of performance, cost, risk, network effect, and scalability. 4. Second-Order Effects of Blockchain and Beyond It is widely believed that blockchain is promising to revolutionize business and redefine companies and economies. Iansiti and Lakhani (2017) considered blockchain as a foundational technology comparable to TCP/IP with the potential to create new foundations for our economic and social systems. We invite discussion on blockchain’s impact on technologies, governance, organizations, or societies such as * Papers relating blockchain with market efficiency papers discussing how blockchain impacts markets * Cryptocurrencies and their impacts on society and economy * New models for auditing and regulatory compliance References: 1.

Algorithms allow the exploitation of rich and varied data sources, in order to support human decision-making and/or taking direct actions; however, there are increasing concerns surrounding their transparency and accountability. There is growing recognition that even when designers and engineers have the best of intentions, systems relying on algorithmic processes can inadvertently result in serious consequences in the social world, such as biases in their outputs that can result in discrimination against individuals and/or groups of people. Furthermore, many people are completely unaware of, or not able the understand the algorithms that mediate their interactions, even in systems they use daily. A key issue is that many algorithmic processes are opaque to the user – e.g., because they are too technically complex to be explained and/or are protected trade secrets. The EU has even gone as far as mandating explanations be provided on demand in algorithmic decision-making. Given these considerations, the intelligent systems community needs to focus on user tools (both technical and educational) to help them become aware of algorithmic processes in the systems they use. As User interfaces are the meeting point between the user and a computerized system’s algorithms, and since for many users they represent the system and its capabilities, they should also make the system and its reasoning transparent to the end user.. IUI ATEC’s goal is to focus on three principles that describe approaches to combating algorithmic biases that can be applied by researchers, even without access to a given system’s inter-workings: - Awareness: Raise stakeholders’ awareness of the potential for biases and social harms that could result from developing and using a given analytic system. - Data provenance: Facilitate the exploration of the potential biases brought about by human and automated data gathering processes that are used to create training data for algorithmic systems. - Validation and testing of outputs: Develop rigorous techniques for testing models and assumptions used in analytic systems, evaluating the potential for social, discriminatory harm. Naturally, the user interface is where and how the Algorithmic Transparency (AT) should occur and the challenge we aim at is how intelligent user interfaces can make a system transparent to its users. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Interaction design for AT - User Modelling for AT - Algorithmic Transparency in recommender systems - Social aspects in interaction design for AT - Biases in the Intelligent User Interfaces design -Transparency in Testing Intelligent User Interfaces TYPES OF PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------- In IUI-ATEC 2019 we encourage original and relevant contributions focusing on experiences and lessons learned from real-life applications, current state-of-the-art methodologies, challenges tackled, and solutions adopted, tools, algorithms, and services in the academic, public or private sector, studies, theories, techniques, and evaluation procedures that could support human-centered adaptation and personalization issues in various levels of interactive environments. All workshop papers must contain original, previously unpublished, research work abiding the two publication types: - Research papers (up to 10 pages long excl. references), presenting work in progress, lessons learnt, positions, emerging or future research issues and directions on Algorithmic Transparency issues related to the design of IUI. - Posters: Each accepted paper will also be presented as a poster during the coffee break/lunch at the conference. This is to allow maximum visibility of your work. - Demos: We are particularly interested in demos coming from industry proposing novel interface designs addressing AT. Manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM Standard (SIGCONF) templates ( http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). All papers will undergo a peer review process by at least two expert reviewers to ensure a high quality. Referees will consider originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition, and relevance to the workshop’s topics. Papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file through the EasyChair submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iuiatec2019.
