The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modelling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising different workshop formats and combining emerging and established research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop schemas are possible, such as: • Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; participants may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement. • Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper submission and review processes. • Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or team participation. • Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general research topics. PROPOSAL FORMAT Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format to both workshop chairs, not exceeding 5 pages and organized as follows: • Workshop title and acronym. • Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage, and experiences in organizing such events. • Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest. • Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this time. • Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions. • Intended audience and expected number of participants. • List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50% have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal). • Requested duration (half day or full day). • When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a brief statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in terms of topics, number of paper submissions and participants, post-workshop publications over the years and acceptance statistics. INSTRUCTIONS We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop proposals. Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas. We strongly suggest to have organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that may attract various types of contributions and may ensure rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity and reviewing processes. There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline.

The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management, including theories, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings. BPM 2019 will take place in Vienna, Austria. BPM 2019 is soliciting proposals for one-day or half-day workshops to be held before the main conference. Workshops facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among active researchers and stimulate discussions on new and emerging perspectives in line with the conference topics. Workshops may focus on specific research topics or be devoted to applications or standardization issues. Workshop proposals covering broad topics and that expand the scope of topics and paradigms traditionally represented at the BPM conference series are encouraged. All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). These proceedings will be made available to all registered participants approximately four months after the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop. Different criteria will be considered by the workshop chairs for deciding whether or not a proposal is accepted. The workshop proposers should have a strong affinity with the proposed workshop topic and be well connected with experts on that topic. The workshop itself should provide a forum for important, innovative and timely BPM subtopics. Furthermore, we encourage the workshop proposers to integrate mechanisms in their workshop to stimulate discussion and interaction beyond what is possible in a plenary conference session. Beyond these aspects, the workshop chairs will ensure that the accepted workshops as a whole cover a broad spectrum of the BPM research discipline. To this end, there will be a negotiation phase in which we seek to consolidate and mark off promising workshop proposals that show overlap. The final decision on the acceptance format of a workshop will be made by the general workshop chairs considering the aforementioned criteria and the overall impression of the proposal. == SUBMISSIONS == Workshop proposals should include the following elements: * The title of the workshop and an acronym; * An outline of the workshop theme, goals, planned activities, and the intended audience; * An indication of whether the workshop is planned as a full day or a half day event; * The targeted (or past) number of submissions and acceptance rate(s); * A brief biography of each workshop organizer; * The activities envisioned to stimulate submissions to the workshop; * The tentative PC and call for papers.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Third Call- Digital Innovation and Transformation Conference: Digital Skills 2019 Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 14:41:52 +0000 From: Tendani Mawela <tmawela(a)hotmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers-Digital Innovation and Transformation Conference: Digital Skills 2019 Conference title: Digital innovation and transformation conference- Digital Skills 2019 Conference theme: Shifting the digital skills discourse for the 4th industrial revolution Host: NEMISA (becoming iNeSI) Dates: 13- 14 March 2019 Venue: Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa 1.Background NEMISA (becoming iNeSI) has a mandate to develop capacity in South Africa to ensure that South Africans have the necessary digital skills (e-skills) to participate in a digital economy that is driven by rapidly advancing technologies. A part of the mandate is to establish an innovative research network focusing on digital skills with links to public and / or private university networks locally and internationally. The aim of the network is to “provide the evidence-based basis, through research and other available means, for decisions on how to innovatively address the opportunities and systemic challenges in achieving digital skills capacity in South Africa”. We seek solutions that are application oriented and make a tangible social and economic difference. The Digital Innovation and Transformation Conference aims to grow an innovative research network through providing a platform for government, academia, industry, education and civil society to share research, data and trends that will contribute to refining the mandate to develop the necessary digital skills capacity of South Africa. The Conference will be structured as a two-day conference where speakers are invited to submit their research or practitioner papers for consideration for inclusion in the programme. There will also be plenary sessions and guest speakers to provide additional opportunities for stakeholders to share insights to be published in a conference proceeding. 2.Postgraduate symposium There is a postgraduate symposium offering a platform for Masters and Doctoral students to share their research projects. 3.Call for papers We invite you to submit your research, case studies and practitioner reports to the Digital Innovation and Transformation Conference which will be hosted by NEMISA. The Conference aims to bring together digital skills practitioners, academics and other stakeholders. a.Background and focus of the Conference The vision of a skilled and empowered digital citizenry in South Africa is a means to ensuring social and economic readiness for the digital future. We consider that prepared citizens are better equipped to take advantage of digital entrepreneurship and economic opportunities. New ICT solutions such as those seen in shared digital platforms can similarly result in economies of scale in marginalised communities. Case studies and models that portray the NEMISA collaborative ethos between government, industry and other sectors to partner with rural communities are particularly encouraged. b.Conference tracks This Conference invites research and case study submissions which explore digital skills from a variety of viewpoints, institutional, socio-cultural and disciplinary contexts.

Information Systems research can significantly contribute to the future of BPM addressing both technical and organizational issues. Topics This workshop explicitly encourages papers that report on novel applications of concepts, theories and technologies that are of interest to IS scholars reflecting emerging trends and challenges in business process management research and practice. We seek contributions in topics including but not limited to: · Adaptive Case Management · BPM and BI · BPM and Cloud Computing · BPM and Crowdsourcing · Collective Adaptive Processes · Complex Event Processing · Human-centric Processes and Knowledge-intensive Processes · Mobile Processes · Process Data Warehousing · Process Mining · Process Simulation · Processes in the Internet of Things and Wearable Devices · Social BPM · User-centric Aspects of BPM Submissions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers for evaluation by the Program Committee. All papers must follow the formatting rules for Proceedings in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website or download a Word Template or Latex Package) and be written in English. Two types of papers can be submitted: · Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works (10-page limit). · Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to discussion (7-page limit). All papers should be submitted using the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist-workshops2019 Review Process All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two/three members of the Program Committee.

Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. The Doctoral Consortium is implemented as a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers from the relevant fields. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium, students are asked to submit a paper presenting their doctoral research that describes: • The problem being addressed. • Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring to related work. • The main contributions that the PhD project aims to achieve. • The progress made to date (including a clear description of the proposed approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. • Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2019 key areas. Each DC submission is encouraged to consider the following: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, the submissions can consider: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each submission should contain a cover page including the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair Doctoral Consortium submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2019dc Submissions should be pdf documents consisting of 1 cover page and the paper (up to 4 pages long), formatted using the ACM SIG proceedings template.

Please share.] Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit full research papers and research in progress papers to the research track "HCI in a Sharing Society" at the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) 2019 in Stockholm, Sweden, June 12-14, 2019. Please forward this CFP to interested colleagues and students. Important dates: * Submission Deadline: 27.11.2018 * Notification Due: 28.02.2019 * Final Version Due: 31.03.2019 Short track description and possible topics: The goal of this track is to develop the field of HCI in a Sharing Society in general and in particular bridge to socio-technical approaches. By this, we mean the systematic and constructive use of socio-technical thinking, approach, principles and methods thorough the HCI design process from the requirements gathering, specification, design, testing, evaluation, operation and evolution of information systems from human, social, technical and organisational perspectives. This track aims to raise awareness of the socio-technical aspects in HCI research and practice, and therefore the theme bridges from previous years conferences into the current and future conferences. Socio-technical HCI analyses are emerging as essential in the evolution of the Sharing Society and the development of information systems and advanced digital technologies required for this transformation. While we aim to develop the socio-technical HCI, the track is open to all research approaches and topics related to HCI. Possible topics include but are not limited to: * HCI for information systems in a Sharing Society * Usability, user experience research, usability testing and interaction design * Theory development, theory building, and theory testing in socio-technical HCI * Conceptualization and operationalization of the concepts related to socio-technical HCI * HCI for Collaborative Consumption * HCI for International Development * Employee-driven design of work from a socio-technical HCI perspective * Case studies of socio-technical design and developments in HCI * Incorporating socio-technical perspective into existing HCI theory and methods * Methods and processes for socio-technical HCI * Business cases for socio-technical HCI * Cost-benefit analysis for socio-technical HCI * Socio-technical HCI for distributed work * Socio-technical HCI in health IS * Evaluation techniques and metrics for socio-technical HCI * Novel applications of socio-technical HCI theories, techniques and methodologies in IS development * Explorations and creative investigations of emerging issues related to the socio-technical HCI * Case studies of socio-technical HCI * Standards related to HCI * Ethical aspects of socio-technical HCI in a sharing society * Usability, UX and HCI in games and gamification * User centred design * Universal usability * Emotions in HCI * Psychophysiological measurements in HCI * Other topics focusing on HCI Track Chairs: * Mikko Rajanen, University of Oulu, Finland.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: The 18th Annual Security Conference | April 29-May1, 2019 | Las Vegas Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 09:14:06 -0500 From: Gurpreet Dhillon <gpdhillon9(a)gmail.com> To: AISworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The 18th Annual Security Conference Securing the Interconnected World April 29 - May 1, 2019 The Tuscany Las Vegas, Nevada, USA www.security-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS Submissions: January 15, 2019. The nature and scope of the Information Security field have evolved over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance, and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals, and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer-reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security ( http://www.jissec.org), European Journal of Management Studies and Information and Computer Security.

Fwd: [WI] Final CfP for full papers: Intelligent and Semantic Web Systems for Crisis Response and Management
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Final CfP for full papers: Intelligent and Semantic Web Systems for Crisis Response and Management Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 13:50:42 +0000 From: Fiona McNeill <f.mcneill(a)hw.ac.uk> Reply-To: Fiona McNeill <f.mcneill(a)hw.ac.uk> To: McNeill, Fiona <f.mcneill(a)hw.ac.uk> Apologies for cross-posting ************************************************** The final deadline for full core research (CoRe) papers is December 1st 2018. The deadline for shorter Work in Progress (WiPe) papers is February 8th 2019. **Call for Papers**: Intelligent and Semantic Web Systems for Crisis Response and Management at the International Conference for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM) in Valencia, Spain, 20-22 May 2019. https://iscram2019.webs.upv.es INTRODUCTION The aim of this track is to bring together state-of-the-art works on crisis information systems that exhibit some degree of intelligent behaviour. Intelligent systems have for many years now been at the forefront of empowering crisis managers, citizens and communities through advanced information systems. Providing adequate information management and decision support during a crisis situation makes exacting demands on the information systems employed. Acquiring, filtering, organizing, representing, reasoning with and distributing relevant information to the right stakeholders at the right time and in the right format is a challenging and complex task. Intelligent and Semantic Web systems provide a way of managing this complexity, for example by accessing and assessing data from multiple online sources. Such systems may be deployed to help emergency responders to maintain community resilience, to enhance their preparedness, to manage the crisis or to implement the recovery. Intelligent systems will display some ability to reason, perceive, learn or act intelligently in their environments; and they may have proactive, reactive, autonomous and/or social aspects. Techniques from Artificial Intelligence, the Semantic Web and associated domains may be employed to develop such robust and adaptable information management and decision support systems. This track welcomes contributions to the theory, methodology and practice of developing and evaluating intelligent systems in the context of crisis response and management. TRACK TOPICS INCLUDE, but are not limited to -Intelligent context-aware modelling and processing - Intelligent agents and distributed problem solving - Applications of the Semantic Web and linked data to crisis management - Development and applications of ontologies and knowledge graphs for crisis management - Intelligent user interfaces - Smart cities and smart environments - Rescue robotics and Humanitarian UAVs - Case studies featuring the application of AI techniques - Human-AI interaction and human-aware AI for crisis management - Intelligent training systems - Agent based modeling and social simulation as a decision making tool - Adaptive and self organizing systems - Machine learning and deep learning applications - Vision recognition - Intelligent mapping - Knowledge representation, discovery and reasoning - Planning and scheduling - Social intelligence - Automatic negotiation of trust and analysis of provenance information - Optimization and heuristics - Intelligent behaviour in wireless sensor networks - Applications based on blockchain and distributed ledgers technologies TRACK FORMAT We intend to have two different aspects to the track organization during the conference. The first will be standard paper presentation to outline the state of the art in the field. The second will focus on building networks and cross-disciplinary collaborations with a view to facilitating future work in the track. This will consist of themed discussion groups organised via Well Sorted (https://www.well-sorted.org <https://www.well-sorted.org/>). Attendees enter one or more topics of personal interest within the theme and then, once all topics are entered, sort them into what they believe are areas of overlapping interest. The system then creates themed groups. We will ask accepted authors to input their topics before the conference, and in the days leading up to and during the conference will promote this event to all conference attendees to give everyone with any interest in the theme a chance to participate and to increase awareness of and interest in the track. We hope this will be particularly useful to engage practitioners, students and others who may feel they don’t have much to offer the theme from a technical point of view but have relevant views about the crisis domain challenges and can bring a broad scope to the discussions. The general discussions within the themed groups will focus on: 1) how can intelligent systems improve crisis management?, and 2) what are the potential drawbacks and ethical issues of using intelligent and automated systems? More specific themes will emerge during the grouping process. SUBMISSIONS AND IMPORTANT DATES We accept both core research (CoRe) papers and work in progress (WiPe) papers. CoRe papers should be 4000-8000 words and WiPe papers should be 3000-6000 words. Unsuccessful papers may, if judged to have sufficient relevance, be accepted as posters, and unsuccessful CoRe papers may, if appropriate, be invited to resubmit as WiPe papers. Full Research and Insight Papers Submission deadline: December 1st, 2018 Decision notification: January 7th, 2019 WiPe (Short) Papers Submission deadline: February 8th, 2019 Decision notification: March 8th, 2019 For further details on format and to submit a paper, go to: https://iscram2019.webs.upv.es/submissions/call-for-papers/ TRACK CHAIRS Julie Dugdale, University Grenoble Alps, France.
