The purpose of the International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, MODELSWARD 2019, is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academics as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in using models and model driven engineering techniques for Software Development. Model-Driven Development (MDD) is an approach to the development of IT systems in which models take a central role, not only for analysis of these systems but also for their construction. MDD has emerged from modelling initiatives, most prominently the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) fostered by the Object Management Group (OMG). In the scope of MDA, a couple of technologies have been developed that became the cornerstones of MDD, like metamodelling and model transformations. MDD relies on languages for defining metamodels, like the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Ecore (developed in the scope of the Eclipse Modelling Framework), and transformation specification languages like QVT and ATL. *What is a position paper?* A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. *MODELSWARD is organized in 3 major tracks:* 1 - Methodologies, Processes and Platforms <http://www.modelsward.org//CallForPapers.aspx#A1> 2 - Applications and Software Development <http://www.modelsward.org//CallForPapers.aspx#A2> 3 - Modeling Languages, Tools and Architectures <http://www.modelsward.org//CallForPapers.aspx#A3> *Conference Chair(s) <http://www.modelsward.org//EventChairs.aspx#conference_chair>* Bran Selic, Malina Software Corp., Canada *Program Chair(s) <http://www.modelsward.org//ProgramCommittee.aspx#program_chair>* Slimane Hammoudi, ESEO, MODESTE, France Luis Ferreira Pires, University of Twente, Netherlands *In Cooperation with* ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering ITHEA® International Scientific Society European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers: Hans Vangheluwe <http://www.modelsward.org//KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#1>, University of Antwerp, Belgium and McGill University, Canada Ulrich Frank <http://www.modelsward.org//KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#2>, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Ed Seidewitz <http://www.modelsward.org//KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#3>, Model Driven Solutions, United States Proceedings will be submitted for *indexation by:* DBLP, Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, EI, SCOPUS, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS: ICSA 2019 - Intl. Conf on Software Architecture
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS: ICSA 2019 - Intl. Conf on Software Architecture Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2018 11:58:25 -0500 From: Bastian Tenbergen <bastian.tenbergen(a)oswego.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, Adwait Jog via ecoop-info <ecoop-info(a)ecoop.org> This is a friendly reminder for the upcoming deadlines in *four weeks* of ICSA 2019 International Conference on Software Architecture March 25-29, 2019 Hamburg, Germany http://icsa-conferences.org/2019/ Please accept our apologies if this email is received again. ICSA cordially invites contributions related to all aspects of software architecture, for its parts * Technical track * New and Emerging Ideas (NEMI) track * Software Architecture in Practice (SAIP) track * Tool Demonstrations track * Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF-ICSA 2019) * Tutorials The International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2019) is the premier gathering of practitioners and researchers interested in software architecture, in component-based software engineering and in quality aspects of complex software systems. ICSA continues the tradition of a working conference, where researchers meet practitioners and where software architects can explain the problems they face in their day-to-day work and try to influence the future of the field. Interactive working sessions will be the place where researchers meet practitioners to identify opportunities to create the future. The increasing size of software systems and the emergence of increasingly autonomous systems is asking for innovative software engineering practices. The way software is being developed and maintained is rapidly changing and must take into account multifaceted constraints like fast-changing and unpredictable markets, complex and changing customer requirements, pressures of shorter time-to-market, rapidly advancing information technologies, just to name a few of these new aspects. To cope with such constraints, software is increasingly produced according to rapid continuous software engineering development processes. The theme of ICSA 2019 is “Architectures to interconnect Services and Systems”. We welcome original contributions that explore and explain the role of architecture in current systems as well as in near future systems. This conference looks at what can be learned from our software architecture history, experience, studies, and best practices. ============================== *Call for Papers* ============================== We solicit the software architecture community original submissions of the following types: *Technical Papers* ============================== Technical research papers (10 pages) should describe original and significant results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or experimental research in software architecture research or industrial practice. The novelty of the contribution needs to be clearly described and the results validated. Technical research papers are limited to 10 proceedings pages, and will be evaluate based on soundness, significance, verifiability, and presentation quality, in that order. *Topics* -------------------- Topics of interest for the conference include (but are not limited to) the following themes: * Architecture & CI, CD and DevOps, * Microservices * Model driven engineering for continuous architecting * Up-front architecture and agile development * Architecting Systems of Systems, IoT systems, CPSs, software ecosystems, self-adaptive systems, or autonomous systems * Component based software engineering and architecture design * Architecture evaluation and quality aspects of software architectures * Automatic extraction and generation of software architecture descriptions * Re-factoring and evolving architecture design decisions and solutions * Architecture frameworks and architecture description languages * Linking architecture to requirements and/or implementation * Preserving architecture quality throughout the system lifetime * Reusable architectural solutions * Software architecture knowledge management * Software architecture for legacy systems and systems integration * Architecting families of products * Cultural, economic, business and managerial aspects of software architecture * Software architects roles and responsibilities * Training, education, and certification of software architects * State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software architecture * Industrial experiments and case studies *Anonymization, Formatting and Submission Instructions* -------------------- Please note that ICSA 2019 will pursue a double-blind review process for the main Technical track (only), therefore all submissions to this track have to fulfill the double-blind reviewing requirements, see https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-…. Papers submitted to the ICSA2019 technical track that disregard these review requirements will not be reviewed but desk-rejected. All submissions must conform to the Author Instructions, see https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-…. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019 by the submission deadline, and must not have been published before. For more information please contact the Program Committee chairs through the email contact address mailto:icsa2019@easychair.org *Publication* -------------------- All accepted technical track contributions will be published in ICSA 2019 proceedings, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. *New and Emerging Ideas* ============================== The goal of the New and Emerging Ideas (NEMI) track at ICSA 2019 is to encourage the software architecture community to propose new software architecture research visions and ideas, which can potentially challenge the status quo of the software architecture discipline (research and practice) and point to new directions and opportunities. *Types of submissions* -------------------- The ICSA 2019 NEMI track seeks the following types of contributions: *New Ideas*: -------------------- * Visions or new directions supported by a strong and well motivated scientific foundation or practical application; * Arguments or results that challenge established results or beliefs, giving evidence that calls for fundamentally new directions, opening up new research avenues or software architecture practices; * Radically new approaches, techniques, or theories that can bring new results to software architecture research or practice. *Emerging Results*: -------------------- * Not yet fully mature research results, that may lack full validation but that still can stimulate discussions; papers should trigger discussion and raise awareness and reflection on specific topics, in research and/or industrial practice. NEMI papers must clearly motivate and illustrate a rationale for changing current practice and/or research in software architecture. Evaluation results are not required for NEMI papers (but if such results exist, then they may be presented, if only to give the reviewers a feel about the evaluation plan). Strong argumentation and reasoning is expected to inspire the readers. *Scope* -------------------- NEMI provides a forum for innovative, thought-provoking insights in software architecture in order to accelerate the exposure of the community to early and on-going yet promising and potentially inspiring innovations in industry and academia. NEMI papers are not second-class ICSA research track papers. NEMI is a forum for first-class contributions that provide novel, soundly motivated directions and emerging results in research and practice. In principle, the track addresses the same topics of interest as those of the technical paper track. However, NEMI authors are encouraged to combine these topics in new ways, to establish connections to other fields outside of classical software architecture, push the boundaries of software architecture to new avenues, as well as to argue for the importance of software architecture research and practice in areas not explicitly listed. *Out of scope* -------------------- A NEMI submission should not be just incremental results on existing research, nor disguised advertisements for previously published results, products, tools or methods, or experience reports. ICSA 2019 has several tracks and workshops where such works can be submitted. *Evaluation* -------------------- All submissions will be evaluated in terms of the following criteria: * Value: the problem is worth exploring, ideally real world use-inspired. * Impact: the potential for disruption of current practice and/or research; * Originality: new insights or ideas/visions; * Rationale: soundness of the justification, reasoning and argumentation; * Evaluation: appropriate consideration of relevant literature and/or research evaluation to demonstrate originality, arguments and limitations; * Quality: overall manuscript quality. *Formatting and submission Instructions* -------------------- All NEMI submissions must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-…, and must not exceed *four pages*, including all text, references, appendices, and figures. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to NEMI papers. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the NEMI EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019nemi, by the submission deadline. Submissions must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for ICSA 2019 NEMI track.. Note that in addition to an oral plenary presentation at the conference, authors of accepted papers may also bring a poster describing their work to further showcase their work to a broader ICSA audience. For more information please contact the NEMI track chairs through the email contact address mailto:icsa2019nemi@easychair.org *Publication* -------------------- All accepted technical track contributions will be published in ICSA 2019 Companion proceedings, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. *Software Architecture in Practice* ============================== The ICSA Software Architecture in Practice (SAIP) Track provides practitioners and researchers a platform to present and discuss the most recent innovations and findings in the field of software architecture by means of experience reports and talks. Topics of interest are the same as for the ICSA 2019 Technical Track. *Types of Submissions and Publication* -------------------- We solicit the following types of submissions: *SW Architecture in Practice papers* (4-8 pages) address industry-relevant software architecture problems through systematic investigations. Full papers may describe industry-relevant experience and best practices. Successful applications of research ideas in industrial settings are welcomed as well as negative results that rigorously describe why a research approach cannot be applied. Empirical analyses of industry-relevant software architecture issues may help both practitioners and researchers. The evaluation criteria are potential impact, repeatability, and real-world focus. An extensive discussion of the context in which the result was obtained is useful to transfer an approach to other contexts. Full papers will appear in the ICSA Companion proceedings. *Technical talk proposals* (2 pages) must feature current trends in the industry on the practice of software architecture presenting ideas that are both inspirational and informative. Proposals should make clear why the talk is interesting to ICSA SAIP attendees. Each accepted talk will be of 30 minutes duration. Extended abstracts of the accepted talks will appear in the ICSA Companion proceedings. *Formatting and Submission Instructions* -------------------- All submissions must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-…. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to SAIP papers. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019saip, and must not have been published before. For more information please contact the SAIP track chairs through the email contact address mailto:icsa2019saip@easychair.org *Tool Demonstrations* ============================== The ICSA 2019 Tool Demonstrations track provides researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent innovations and findings in the field of software architecture by means of live tool presentations. We distinguish two categories of tool demo submissions addressing any aspect of tool support to help software architects, researchers, and practitioners: *Tools used in practice*, either from commercial vendors or open-source projects. These demonstrations should focus on practical applications within the different activities of software architecting and should particularly show how they advance the current state of the practice. New ideas and features are particularly welcome. *Research tools* from academic or industrial research environments. These demonstrations are intended to highlight underlying scientific contributions and show how scientific approaches have been transferred into a working tool. Both categories may range from early prototypes to in-house or pre-commercialized products. Authors of regular ICSA papers are also welcome to submit an accompanying tool paper by adding information regarding the actual demo as an appendix, as described further under submission requirements. We especially appreciate tool demos in line with the theme of ICSA 2019, which is “Architectures to interconnect Services and Systems” – leveraging advances like cross-functional and cross-national teams, scaling research to industry scale problems, bridging customer-developer divides, and working in an ‘intelligent connected’ world. Of course tool demos on other topics of Software Architecture are welcome too. *Submission Requirements* -------------------- Submissions of papers for tool demonstrations must: * Have a maximum length of 4 pages, describing the technology or approach, how it relates to other industrial or research efforts, including references, and what the expected benefits are. * Have an appendix of maximum 2 pages (not included in the page count) that provides a brief description of how the presentation will be conducted, information on tool availability, maturity and the web-page for the tool (if one exists). * Clearly state the tool category: in-practice or research. * Must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-…. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to tool demo track submissions. * Are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019tool, and must not have been published before. Optionally, the submission can be accompanied with a video (maximum length of 5 minutes) in high resolution. In this case, a link to a page where the video can be viewed needs to be included in the appendix. Note that the video is not mandatory, but if it is available, it will be used to the benefit of the evaluation of the submission. Tool demos papers and accompanying artifacts will go through a peer review process and accepted papers will be included in the IEEE companion proceedings. For more information please contact the track organizers through the contact address icsa2019tool(a)easychair.org *Early Career Researchers Submissions* ============================== The goal of the Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF-ICSA 2019) is to inspire and bring together early career researchers in the field of software architecture. This forum provides a vibrant place for discussing potential and ongoing research at any stage, from ideas to results. This forum strives to provide a friendly environment for early career researchers to present their research proposals and early results, and get feedbacks and inspirations from experienced researchers. This forum stimulates interactions between early career researchers and experienced academic and industry members of the community by offering a two-stage submission process that will enable early career researchers to obtain feedbacks on their submissions. *Participation* -------------------- Participation is open to research candidates (PhD or Masters), industrial researchers or recent PhD graduates who want to share and improve their research in the field of software architecture. *Submission and Process* -------------------- The submission shall be a written report of between 6-8 pages.

Email: Eric.walden(a)ttu.edu<mailto:Eric.walden@ttu.edu> TRACK DESCRIPTION: COGNITION AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS The on-going infusion of new digital technologies - mobile and distributed computing, social media, digital platforms, data analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchains, cloud computing, and so forth, is transforming the design and use of information systems, such that more personalized, consumerized and overall more human-centric information systems emerge. These purportedly bring many advantages but are also associated with adverse effects. We are overwhelmed by information on various channels leading to a scarcity of attention. Multitasking on various devices and interacting with a smartphone virtually all the time may lead to information overload and techno-stress, hampering information processing. Thus, engineering attention and the design of digitally transformed information systems with a focus on cognitive aspects is becoming increasingly important for information systems designer not only for targeting potential consumers, but also to avoid unnecessary interruptions in work environments. This track sets out to invite research on cognitive implications, requirements and consequences of the digital transformation as they relate to design and use of information systems. Such cognitive considerations in guiding or "nudging" users' choices or inputs in digital environments becomes highly relevant and prevalent (e.g. by encouraging people to behave more socially and environmentally responsible or to adopt a healthier lifestyle or to buy products). Thus, we also need a better understanding on how digital technologies can shape human cognition to better design human interaction with online systems. We welcome novel qualitative and quantitative empirical insights as well as conceptual research contributing to theory development and offering directions for future research to optimize how humans and intelligent information systems may in future interact together. We especially encourage research that is grounded in different reference disciplines beyond the information systems field (e.g. cognitive psychology, neuroscience, or automated cognition). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to · Effects of digital technologies on human behaviour · Evaluation of user experience and user attitudes of innovative interaction design · NeuroIS studies on information systems design and use · Shaping of cognitive behavior through emergent technology (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality) · Cognitive biases and heuristics in the context of novel digital technologies · Differences in offline versus online thinking in digital platforms · Design of information systems for digital nudging in various domains (e.g. online shopping, crowd sourcing and funding, e-government, participation and contribution to the sharing society ...) · Cognitive mechanisms underlying persuasive system design · Cognitive overload and technostress caused by interruptions and consumption of information through digital devices · Fostering creativity in digital settings such as co-creation and crowd-sourcing platforms · Cognitive requirements and consequences of human-centric design of information systems ASSOCIATE EDITORS · René Riedl, Professor, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria & University of Linz, Austria · Christiane Lehrer, Assistant Professor, University of St. Gallen, Austria · Roozmehr Safi, Assistant Professor, University of Missouri Kansas City, USA · Eva Bittner, Junior Professor, University of Hamburg, Germany · Fons Wijnhoven, Associate professor, University of Twente, the Netherlands · Xixi Li, Assistant Professor, Tsinghua University, Hong Kong SAR of China · Markus Weinmann, Assistant Professor, University of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein · Maria Madlberger, Professor, Webster Vienna Private University, Austria · Irit Hadar, Senior Lecturer, University of Haifa, Israeli · Anne-Françoise Rutkowski, Professor, Tilburg School of Economics and Management, the Netherlands · Camille Grange, Assistant Professor, HEC Montreal, Canada · Christine Bauer, Senior Postdoc Researcher, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria · Jason Triche, Assistant Professor, University of Montana, USA · Siyuan Li, Assistant Professor, College of William and Mary, USA · Susanne Robra-Bissantz, Professor, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany · Don Jones, Professor, Texas Tech, USA · Sherrie Komiak, Associate Professor, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada · Verena Tiefenbeck, Senior Research Associate, ETH Zurich, Switzerland · Steffi Haag, Assistant Professor, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: November 27th, 2018 Notification of acceptance: February 28th, 2019 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES http://ecis2019.eu/information-to-authors<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fecis2019.eu…> Prof. Dr. Jan Recker | Chair for Information Systems and Systems Development Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences | University of Cologne www.janrecker.com<http://www.janrecker.com/> | http://scientific-research-in-is.org/ Phone: +49 221 470 5397 | Email: jan.recker(a)wiso.uni-koeln.de<mailto:j.recker@qut.edu.au> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for papers: Special Issue: Information Systems Journal
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers: Special Issue: Information Systems Journal Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 08:44:24 +0000 From: Boyka Simeonova <B.Simeonova(a)lboro.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special Issue: Information Systems Journal Power dynamics in organisations and the role of information systems While power is described as an integral part of organisations, it is also stressed that power dynamics are under-theorised (Blackler, 2011; Contu and Willmott, 2003; Jasperson et al., 2002; Marabelli and Galliers, 2017). The aim of this special issue is to unpack power dynamics in organisations and explore the role of information systems in these dynamics. An ambiguous concept, there is a plethora of views on what constitutes power (Jasperson et al., 2002). The following provides a summary. Power has been explained variously as legitimate, expert and referent (French and Raven, 1959); functionalist, interpretive and radical (Bradshaw-Camball and Murray, 1991); episodic and systemic (Kärreman, 2010; Lawrence et al., 2012). Legitimate power relates to power stemming from organisational hierarchies, where people occupying higher levels have the 'legitimate' right to influence the behaviours of others. Expert power stems from the expertise and knowledge people possess, while referent power is related to the access to resources (French and Raven, 1959). Within the functionalist perspective, Bradshaw-Camball and Murray (1991) differentiate between the pluralist view, which "focuses on overt stakeholder behaviours such as coalition formation and bargaining" and the rationalist view, which "focuses on the legitimate authority of top management and the intended rationality of its decision making activities" (Bradshaw- Camball and Murray, 1991, p. 381). The interpretivist view of power sees it as being exercised by controlling others without them being aware of the control mechanisms being used to achieve goals. From the radical perspective, power is found in social relationships and it is embedded in a structure of rules (Bradshaw-Camball and Murray, 1991). From an episodic/'power over' perspective, power is seen as a restraining force and is linked, for example, to control, coercion, influencing others and authority (Clegg et al., 2006; Kärreman, 2010; Lawrence et al., 2012). From a systemic perspective power, can be seen as a productive force with systemic 'power to' being embedded in social relations (Clegg et al., 2006; Kärreman, 2010; Lawrence et al., 2012). Power issues and dynamics are often conceptualised as tensions, paradoxes and conflicts (e.g., Smith et al., 2017), and are analytically manifested in the form of, inter alia, status effects, majority issues, conformance pressure, deviance and non-conformity, gender, and generational differences that can have a negative impact in organisations (e.g., Bunderson and Reagans, 2011; Heizmann, 2011; Raman and Bharadwaj, 2012). Examples of power dynamics in organisations are evident in the following contexts and activities: * - Organisational change; * - Strategising; * - Knowledge management; * - Coordination, learning and collective action; * - Inter- and intra-organisational work and across organisational hierarchies; * - Organisational structure, rules, social networks; * - Communities of practice; * - Leadership, interpersonal power; * - Technology use and technology implementation; * - Roles, social relationships, empowerment. Notwithstanding this extensive research on power and power dynamics in organisations, and the seminal work of Markus (1983) for example, research on the role of IS in this regard is still limited. This is surprising given the increasing role of digital technology in organisations and the consequent research undertaken on the use of social computing and collaborative tools to transform organisations (e.g., Baptista et al., 2017; Forsgren and Byström, 2018). While some research on power issues in the IS field has considered, for example, the role and use of boundary objects, communication and collaboration (Sapsed and Salter, 2004), knowledge sharing (Simeonova, 2017), how technology impacts organisational power relations (Allen et al., 2013; Jasperson et al., 2002) and workarounds (Malaurent and Avison, 2016), few other studies have been undertaken. In light of this, scholars have argued for further research on power dynamics in organisations specifically in relation to the role that IS might play (Koch et al., 2013). Moreover, it has been stressed that the predominant orientation taken on power within the IS, Management and Organisation Studies literature remains the episodic/'power over' perspective (Hislop, 2013). In order to rebalance and advance research on power dynamics in organisations and IS, this special issue encourages submissions exploring different forms and manifestations of power. We make this call in the belief that such research is particularly pertinent and timely in light of the emergence and growth of digital innovation, online communities; work transformations, and new ways of organising. Objectives and Criteria for Submissions for the Special Issue Thus, the objective of this Special Issue is to examine issues around IS and power by drawing on extant research in the fields of IS, Management and Organisation Studies. We seek relevant and rigorous submissions that address a combination of the following in the context of power dynamics as outlined above: · Effects of IS on transformations of power dynamics in organisations; · Power dynamics in organisations. Effects of different forms of power (episodic/power over and systemic/power to) as well as status effects, majority issues, conformance pressure, deviance and non-conformity, gender, and generational differences; * Dimensions (different levels of analysis, multiple perspectives) - individual, organisational, social, technological; * Novel theoretical and methodological approaches; * The role of technology in reinforcing power structures or emancipating actors; * Consequences for the field of IS, and reflections on its trans-disciplinarity. Submissions should broadly address or relate to the aforementioned aspects in their contribution to theory and practice. Ideally, submissions will provide new understandings of IS in work and social settings and the transformations taking place. Submissions will be evaluated using rigorous criteria associated with high quality academic research. Authors are encouraged to submit an extended abstract for early feedback. The extended abstract should not exceed 5 pages, including a cover page (containing title, keywords, and author details), an explanation of the rationale for the study/paper, an overview of the research and analysis undertaken, details of expected contributions, consideration of fit with the special issue, and a list of illustrative references. The extended abstracts and the full papers should meet the ISJ formatting guidelines and be submitted using the online submission system.
