-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Berlin Workshop on Digital Innovation, Infrastructure, and Entrepreneurship on Bio Data: CALL FOR SHORT ABSTRACTS Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 07:28:44 +0000 From: Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L <Sirkka.Jarvenpaa(a)mccombs.utexas.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> BERLIN Workshop on Digital Innovation, Infrastructure, and Entrepreneurship on Bio Data Digital Entrepreneurship Hub, Freie Universität Berlin March 7-8, 2018 Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa, McCombs School of Business Michael Barrett, Judge Business School, Cambridge University Hannes Rothe, Digital Entrepreneurship Hub, Freie Universität Berlin We invite researchers and scientists to a two-day spring workshop in Berlin on bio data. Advances in biology and widespread availability of health and bio data promise new diagnostics, treatments, products, and services that may change human life. Our primary objective is to bring together scholars with diverse expertise and disciplinary backgrounds to establish an interdisciplinary community that could initiate novel conversations on bio data innovation, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure topics. To this end, the workshop facilitates both small group and large group conversations topics. Specifically, the workshop schedule includes parallel small group sessions to which attendees will be assigned based on their abstract and field of interest. Key ‘takeaways’ from these small group sessions will be brought forth and discussed among all attendees in a few plenary sessions. Thus, the emphasis of the workshop will be on facilitating highly interactive discussions rather than formal topic presentations. In addition, we schedule keynote speakers on the two days. These keynote speakers will include senior industry executives, the head of a biotech accelerator, entrepreneurs, and academics. We expect to send you the final workshop program by February. To cover the expenses for facilities, lunch and dinner on March 7 and March 8, 2019, we ask participants for a fee of 250 EUR. If you would like to attend and join discussions, we would like to request you to send us a 1 to 2 page (double-spaced) extended abstract of your current or future research idea/ question/contribution around bio data by January 9, 2019. Please note that the abstract can involve a project idea that you are yet to develop into a full-blown project but would like to get feedback and/or find collaborators. Please email your abstract to Hannes Rothe at hannes.rothe(a)fu-berlin.de<mailto:hannes.rothe@fu-berlin.de>. These extended abstracts will serve two purposes. First, it would help us identify a set of common topics that would then form the basis for developing discussion tables. We will make these abstracts accessible only to the attendees in the workshop. Key learnings from the workshop will be documented, aggregated, and published in a joint workshop report. The joint report will be circulated among all attendees for comments before publication.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Special Issue on Blockchain Technology and Applications for Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeBM) Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 10:05:00 +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). _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Contents of Volume 19, Issue 11 (November) Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2018 01:51:48 +0000 From: JAIS <JAIS(a)comm.virginia.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Contents of Volume 19, Issue 11 (November) Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS), Official Publication of the Association for Information Systems Published: Monthly Electronically ISSN: 1536-9323 Published by the Association for Information Systems, Atlanta, USA (http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/) Editor-in-Chief: Professor Suprateek Sarker, University of Virginia, USA Paper Evidence-Based Information Systems: A New Perspective and a Road Map for Research-Informed Practice David Wainwright, Northumbria University Briony J. Oates, Teesside University Helen M. Edwards, University of Sunderland Sue Childs, Northumbria University Abstract Despite the increasing sophistication and quality of published work, the development of a cumulative body of knowledge and an evidence-base for information systems (IS) research still represents a major challenge. IS research is still predominantly undertaken by IS researchers for other IS researchers and not utilized to its full extent by IS practitioners or policy-makers. We focus on this problem and express the need for a new evidence-based research perspective. It is argued that it is time to refocus the efforts of IS academics (and practitioners) to develop a new evidence-base for IS research whereby it can more routinely inform, develop, improve and support IS practice. We contribute to this debate by defining evidence-based practice (EBP), its relevance to IS, and the need to develop an evidence-based approach. We look in particular at its brief history, and its subsequent evolution, development and widespread acceptance in Medicine; making reference to recent arguments and critiques of EBP in other disciplines such as software engineering and management. We espouse the need to develop a similar evidence-based movement and infrastructure within the IS research and practitioner communities and then put forward a possible road map for the development of Evidence-Based Information Systems (EBIS) that comprises 9 key initiatives. We conclude our argument by stating that the current extent, severity and impact of IS failures are unacceptable, emphasizing the need for a new perspective for IS research that encourages and incorporates EBP as a guiding principle to inform better IS practice.

As a result, there is little understanding about the structure of certifications and its role in decision makers’ evaluations of certifications to achieve these outcomes. However, idiosyncrasies of novel IT services, such as cloud services, create a need for “unblackboxing” certifications and theorizing about their constituting structural building blocks and structural elements, as well as examining key features that might lead to a more favorable evaluation of a certification by decision makers. To advance theory building on certifications, this article develops an empirically grounded typology of certifications’ key structural building blocks and structural elements, and examines how they interpret substantive features within these elements. Using evidence from 20 interviews with decision makers from a wide range of industries in the context of cloud service certifications, we find that a decision maker’s aggregate evaluation of a certification is a function of their interpretations of its features guided by cognitive interpretive schemas along six key structural elements, contrasted with the decision makers’ expectations regarding the certification’s outcomes. This study contributes by conceptualizing the necessary and sufficient elements of certifications, constructing a nascent theory on decision makers’ evaluations of certifications, and illuminating the dynamics between certifications’ structural elements and outcomes as a coevolutionary process. We discuss implications for the certification literature and give managerial advice regarding the factors to consider when designing and evaluating certifications.

Drawing upon coordination theory and the literatures on computer-mediated communication and interruptions, this paper develops a multilevel theory of work interruptions. It suggests that interruptions that target individuals can also affect other group members through various ripple effects and a cross-level direct effect. We also discuss how the usage of five CT capabilities during interruption episodes can moderate the impact of interruptions at the individual and group levels. Our theoretical model draws attention to the importance of examining the individual-to-group processes to better understand the impact of interruptions in group environments. Additionally, by accounting for the role of the use of CT capabilities during interruption episodes, our work contributes to both the interruptions literature, which dedicates scant attention to the interrupting media, and to IS research on media use and media effects.

An Economic Analysis of Group-Buying Platforms Hong Xu, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Abstract Group buying as a new form of e-commerce has experienced rapid development over the past few years. Group-buying platforms offer a new channel for local small- to medium-sized companies to promote themselves, and also provide consumers with the opportunity to experience new products and services at deep discounts. In this paper, we examine merchants’ pricing strategies and consumers’ purchasing decisions when diﬀerent types of information are available on a group-buying platform. Consumers purchasing deals from group-buying platforms face a high level of quality uncertainty, due to lack of experience with the products and incomplete information about the products and merchants on group-buying platforms. The lack of face-to-face communication between customers and merchants before redeeming the deals also intensiﬁes the uncertainty between the transacting parties. Group-buying platforms seek to alleviate such uncertainty by designing a rich user interface that contains various types of information about the merchants or the deals. We use a game-theoretic model to capture the interactions between merchants and consumers under three cases, contextualized by a simple, moderate, or complex information environment. We show that merchants benefit when the environment moves from a simple to moderate information environment, but further movement from a moderate to a complex information environment leads to a more intriguing eﬀect on merchants’ discount strategies. In particular, very high-quality merchants or very low-quality merchants benefit from larger discounts in the context of complex information versus a moderate information environment; therefore, such merchants are disadvantaged when more than a moderate amount of information is provided. Our analysis shows that providing more information can harm merchants under certain conditions; we oﬀer implications for merchants as well as for the group-buying platforms concerning their information strategies.

01 Dec '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SEmotion19 workshop - Call for Papers Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2018 10:45:48 +0000 From: Fucci, Davide <fucci(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Link to Workshop Website: https://semotion.github.io/2019 ***SEmotion 2019: Fourth International Workshop on Emotion Awareness in Software Engineering*** OVERVIEW ======================================================================== Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects—i.e., the experience of feelings or emotions. Over the past decade, research has shown the impact of affective states on work performance and on team collaboration. This also applies to software engineering that involves people in a broad range of activities, where personality, moods, and emotions play a crucial role. For successful software engineering projects, stakeholders need to experience positive affect (such as trust or appreciation), to agree on display rules for emotions, and to hold mutual commitment to the project goals. Recently, researchers started to study the role of affective computing and affective states in software engineering. However, contributions on this topic are currently presented and discussed in diverse conferences and workshops. This workshop follows on the third edition held at ICSE 2018, towards the consolidation of an international, sustainable forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the role of affect in software engineering to meet, present, and discuss their work in progress. High-quality contributions about empirical studies, theoretical models, as well as tools for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering are invited to the workshop from both academia and industry. TOPICS ======================================================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Impact of affective states (emotions, moods, attitudes, personality traits) on individual and group performance, commitment and collaboration in software engineering -The role of affect in the social programmer ecosystem Leveraging stakeholders affective feedback to improve software, tools, and processes (e.g., sentiment analysis of users feedback, aspect-based sentiment analysis of product reviews, etc.) -Design, development, and evaluation of tools and datasets for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering -Reusable software frameworks, APIs, and patterns for designing and maintaining affect-aware systems -Ethnographic approaches to affect monitoring in the workplace of software projects -Psychology of programming and modeling of affective states (e.g., psychological models of affect in software engineering, understanding the trigger behind emotions during -developers activities, etc.) -Affective state detection from multimodal analysis of spontaneous communicative behavior such as natural language processing, use of biometric measurements, analysis of body posture and gesture, speech analysis -Affect sensing from communication artifacts (e.g., message boards, issue tracking, social media) -Methodologies for large-scale emotion mining -Emotion awareness in requirements engineering, software design, and software management -Emotion awareness in software design philosophies, development practices, and tools -Emotion awareness in cross-cultural teams in global software development -Methodologies and standards -Replications of prior studies CONTRIBUTIONS ======================================================================== We invite three kinds of submissions: -Full papers (6 pages) describing emotion awareness challenges, needs, novel approaches, and frameworks. New approaches must be evaluated with users in this category. Empirical evaluation papers and industrial experience reports are also welcome. -Short papers (3-4 pages) describing new ideas, works in progress, datasets/artifacts, or tools/demos. -Posters (1-2 pages) summarizing research projects, demos, techniques. Artifact and demo papers may be either long or short papers depending on the level of maturity they are at. We especially encourage evaluation of systems on publicly available benchmark datasets such as the Jira dataset, Stack Overflow gold standard on emotions, and sentiment analysis datasets. Authors may use additional pages (up to 8 total) for references. All papers must be in English and must conform, at the time of submission, to the ICSE formatting guidelines for Technical Research. Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format. The submission site is hosted by EasyChair and can be accessed at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semotion2019 Three members of the international program committee will review each submission. Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, relevance to the workshop, and their potential for discussion. The papers with the best reviews will be accepted to be presented at the workshop. All accepted papers will be distributed to workshop participants and will be invited to be included in a workshop proceeding published in the ACM and IEEE CS Digital Libraries. IMPORTANT DATES ======================================================================== Paper submissions: 1 February 2019 Notification to authors: 1 March 2019 Camera-ready copies due: 15 March 2019 ORGANIZERS ======================================================================== Bonita Sharif, University of Nebraska—Lincoln, USA Davide Fucci, University of Hamburg, Germany Giuseppe Destefanis, Brunel University London, UK PROGRAM COMMITTEE ======================================================================== Lucas Gren, Chalmers University of Technology and The University of Gothenburg, Sweden Alexander Serebrenik, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Andrew Begel, Microsoft Research, USA Fabian Fagerholm, University of Helsinki, Finland Fabio Calefato, University of Bari, Italy Prasun Dewan, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Viviana Patti, University of Torino, Italy Minhaz Zibran, University of Saskatchewan, Canada Chris Parnin, North Carolina State University, USA Kelly Blincoe, The University of Auckland, New Zealand Raian Ali, Bournemouth University, UK Walid Maalej, University of Hamburg, Germany Bram Adams, Polytechnique Montréal, Canada Paige Rutner, Texas Tech University, USA Filippo Lanubile, University of Bari, Italy Marco Ortu, University of Cagliari, Italy Ayushi Rastogi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Nicole Novielli, University of Bari, Italy Mika Mäntylä, University of Oulu, Finland Maleknaz Nayebi, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada Daniel Graziotin, University of Stuttgart, Germany David Redmiles, Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, USA Seok-Won Lee, Ajou University, South Korea
