-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: Annual Security Conference Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 18:13:51 -0500 From: Gurpreet Dhillon <gpdhillon9(a)gmail.com> To: AISworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The 17th Annual Security Conference Securing the Interconnected World March 26-28, 2018 The Tuscany Las Vegas, Nevada, USA www.security-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS The nature and scope of the Information Security field has 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. Further details and submission instructions can be found at: www.security-conference.org General Chair Gurpreet Dhillon, The University North Carolina, Greensboro, USA Co-Conference Chairs Dionysios Demetis, University of Hull, UK Steve Furnell, University of Plymouth, UK Program Chair Mark Harris, Augusta University, USA Mark Schmidt, St. Cloud State University, USA Romilla Syed, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA European Outreach Chairs Ella Kolkowska, Örebro University, Sweden Miranda Kajtazi, Linnæus University, Sweden International Program Committee Atif Ahmad, University of Melbourne, Australia Ian Angell, London School of Economics, UKIMG_0424 James Backhouse, London School of Economics, UK Rita Barrios, Compuware, USA Stefan Beißel, EUFH, Germany Mario Caldeira, ISEG University of Lisboa, Portugal Nathan Clarke, University of Plymouth, UK David L.

We are helping students to be prepared to deal with competitive pressures, global issues, and complex problems. These factors, coupled with ever-changing technologies, evolution of systems, generational differences, and gaps between curriculum outcomes and industry requirements, make this a challenging time to be an IS educator or an administrator responsible for IS education. Every challenge does, however, also provide an opportunity for those who can adapt and innovate. Our proposed mini-track will give the conference attendees an opportunity to explore a variety of innovative topics that will assist in tackling these challenges and contributing to the successful development of IS professionals. A Call for Proposals will articulate further a set of sample topics, including innovative curriculum strategies, innovative modes of delivery, and supporting life-long learning through innovative program models. Minitrack 5: Usage of Simulations, Educational Games and Gamification in Education Jorge Martins, jorge.martins(a)sheffield.ac.uk<mailto:jorge.martins@sheffield.ac.uk> Simulations and games have existed even before the introduction of computers. However, the potentials and drawbacks of using them in education are still not fully understood. The research performed in the field is also complex, the complexities being related to simulations/game/gamification activity design or the complex social and cultural context in which they are used. The purpose of this mini track is to advance research and to provide a forum that will allow a deeper understanding and knowledge sharing about the relevant issues, opportunities and solutions pertaining to the usage of simulations, educational games and gamification. It provides an opportunity for educators and researchers engaged to exchange ideas about their experiences and outcomes obtained from integrating serious games, simulations, and gamification in educational settings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BMSD 2018 (Vienna, Austria) Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2018 09:37:54 +0200 From: Neda Grozeva <neda.grozeva(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers BMSD 2018 - Eighth International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design 2-4 July 2018, Vienna, Austria http://www.is-bmsd.org ******************************** BMSD - the International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design, is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together Researchers and Practitioners interested in: (i) Modeling in general and in particular - Conceptual Modeling, Goal Modeling, Value Modeling, Business/Enterprise Modeling, Process Modeling, Model-Driven Engineering; (ii) Enterprise Engineering and its relation to Software Generation; (iii) Information Systems Architectures and Design. Each year, a special theme is chosen, for making presentations and discussions more focused. The theme of BMSD 2018 is: ENTERPRISE ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR THE FUTURE. Adequate business models are of huge importance not only for understanding and (re-)engineering an organization but also for automating (part of) its processes by means of software systems. Not grasping correctly and exhaustively an enterprise system would inevitably lead to consequent software failures. It is therefore claimed that software generation should essentially have its roots in corresponding enterprise engineering models. In 2018, BMSD will be held in Vienna, Austria, following previous events in Spain (Barcelona, 2017), Greece (Rhodes, 2016), Italy (Milan, 2015), the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg, 2014), The Netherlands (Noordwijkerhout, 2013), Switzerland (Geneva, 2012), and Bulgaria (Sofia, 2011). ******************************** Chair: Assoc.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2018- Health Information Privacy & Security Minitrack Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2018 19:46:49 +0000 From: Nancy Lea Martin <nlmartin(a)siu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ***ATTENTION - HEALTH PRIVACY & SECURITY RESEARCHERS***CALL FOR PAPERS*** Conference: 24th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug. 16-18, 2018 in New Orleans, LA, USA Track: Healthcare Informatics and Information Technology (SIGHealth)<http://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-11> Mini track 3: Health Information Privacy and Security ***Mini-track Description*** The privacy and security of health information has long been a priority of medical practitioners and consumers. The protection of personal health information stored electronically is an area of growing concern for individuals, organizations, and governments. Threats to information security in the healthcare sector risk not only patients' identities and financial information, but health data as well. The exposure of such sensitive information can cause financial hardship, mental anguish, and especially in healthcare, lead to social stigma and effect medical decisions. This mini-track aims to highlight a wide range of research focused on the protection of health information. The type and number of organizations that handle health data is multifarious and growing. To complicate matters further, the use of technologies such as internet-connected medical devices and telemedicine is also on the rise. Furthermore, handlers of health data face a wide variety of complex regulatory compliance issues. For these reasons, the protection of health information is distinctive and merits a focused research effort. Research and results from this mini-track will bring light to unique data protection issues in healthcare. This mini-track encourages interdisciplinary research, a wide variety of approaches, and both completed and in-progress research papers. Possible Topics: Possible research topics for this mini-track include, but are not limited to: * Data protection in the healthcare supply chain * Health data-centric security * Health data protection regulation * Regulatory compliance * Regulatory enforcement * Unique challenges for small healthcare organizations * Healthcare workflow management for privacy/security * Risks related mobile health, telemedicine, biomedical devices * Patient/consumer concern regarding health data privacy * Legal and liability issues surrounding health data * Quality issues in health data * Impacts to public health research * Innovations in health data protection * Opportunities/challenges regarding privacy/security in healthcare Important dates: January 15, 2018: Manuscript submissions open February 28, 2018: Manuscript submission deadline April 18, 2018: Author notification August 16-18, 2018: Present at AMCIS 2018 in New Orleans, LA, USA.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Submission Deadline (March 5, 2018) Approaching: CFP -- Internet Research Special Issue on the Sharing Economy
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Submission Deadline (March 5, 2018) Approaching: CFP -- Internet Research Special Issue on the Sharing Economy Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2018 11:17:37 -1000 From: Bo Xiao <boxiao(a)hawaii.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Special issue call for papers from Internet Research Guest Editors: Dr. Bo Xiao, University of Hawaii at Manoa (boxiao(a)hawaii.edu) Dr. Eric Lim, University of New South Wales (e.t.lim(a)unsw.edu.au) Dr. Chee-Wee Tan, Copenhagen Business School (cta.itm(a)cbs.dk) Dr. Zach Lee, University of Nottingham Ningbo China ( zach.lee(a)nottingham.edu.cn) Important: Authors whose paper(s) were accepted to the Sharing Economy mini-track at AMCIS 2017 and HICSS 2017 are strongly encouraged to contact one of the guest editors about fast tracking your paper(s) to the special issue. Submission Deadline (extended): March 5, 2018 Motivation and Aim of the Special Issue Sharing is ingrained in the fabric of society and efficient access to goods and services constitutes a major force driving much of the economic activity today. With greater connectivity brought about by the proliferation of internetworking technologies, it has become much easier for individuals to circumvent spatial and temporal barriers during interactions, thereby giving rise to a novel Sharing Economy that is structured around the disintermediation of conventional channels of commerce in the exchange of both tangible and intangible resources. The sharingeconomy has gained notable attention within mainstream media as a new economic paradigm that leverages peer-to-peer technological platforms to facilitate exchange of resources among individuals who are joined via fluid relational networks. Almost overnight, numerous peer-to-peer platforms—in the likes of crowd-working (e.g., Airbnb, Uber, Amazon Mechanic Turk, E-Lance, Fiverr), co-innovation (e.g., Mindmixer, Social Innovator), crowd-funding (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo), crowd-searching (e.g., Crowdfynd, CrowdSearching), and crowd-voting (e.g., California Report Card, Threadless) — have sprung up to facilitate both individuals and/or organizations to pool resources in resolving problems. While there are many practitioners who have prophesized the sharing economy as a game-changer for how organizations and society function, there are also a number of detractors who questioned the uncertain and potentially disruptive future that is brought about by such peer-to-peer exchanges. Critics have painted a dismal picture of the sharing economy as a means for individuals and/or firms to dodge proper regulations and live beyond their means, which in turn contributes to doomsday scenarios of massive job displacements and spending habits detrimental to society. In light of the opportunities and challenges posed by the sharing economy, there is a clear urgency for a systematic and thorough scrutiny of how value creation and appropriation can take place within such economic environments while minimizing its negative impact to society. The aim of this special issue of Internet Research is to sensitize both academics and practitioners to the latest trends and developments in the sharing economy in order to determine how value can be created and appropriated within this novel economic environment powered primarily by technology. This special issue embraces both retrospective and progressive views of how the sharing economy has evolved and would transform with technological advances. We welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in how emergent technologies are shaping the access and sharing of resources within online peer-to-peer communities. Papers that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly welcome. Topics of Interest Topics of interest of the special issue include, but are not limited to: Collaborative consumption and production in sharing economy Crowdfunding and communal investment Crowdsourcing and open innovation Crowd platform strategies Data privacy and security in sharing economy Design and innovation of crowd platforms Digital business models of sharing economy Digital labor markets and workforce management in sharing economy Disruptive innovation in sharing economy Market mechanics of sharing economy Policy formulation for sharing economy Reputation and trust in sharing economy Social network in sharing economy Socio-economic and political challenges of sharing economy Value appropriation in sharing economy Deadlines Submission due date: March 5th, 2018 First round reviews: May 1st, 2018 Revisions due: June 15th, 2018 Second round decision: August 1st, 2018 Revisions due: September 1st, 2018 Final editorial decision: September 15th, 2018 Please see our author guidelines for more details and submission instructions. Submissions to Internet Research are made using ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission and peer review system. Please be sure to select this special issue option when you submit your paper through ScholarOne.

The analysis shows that one factor can explain a large part of the variation in the seven ICT variables used to measure the digital development of countries. This measure is then used with additional variables, which are hypothesised as drivers of the divide for a regression analysis using data from 2015, 2013, and 2011, which reveals economic and educational imbalances between countries, along with some aspects of geography, as drivers of the digital divide. Contrary to the authors' expectations, the English language is not a driver.

Data was collected via a questionnaire survey using 218 respondents. Results from an empirical analysis indicate that while all the three factors of trustworthiness were found to be a predictor of overall initial trust in the intermediary, ‘integrity' turned out to have the strongest association with overall trust. The author's findings suggest that trustworthiness beliefs and trust are conceptually distinct from each other and that the former is a predictor of the latter. The article offers implications for both academics and practitioners of online marketplaces.

Yet, there is little known about the factors that motivate physicians to adopt and continue to use electronic information resources. The purpose of this article is to investigate the motivational factors leading to adoption and usage of electronic information resources in diverse regions of the world including developing countries (India and Egypt) and developed countries (the US). Based on the socio-cognitive theory and the decomposed theory of planned behavior, the authors surveyed 314 physicians in three countries in order to assess their engagement with electronic information resources. Data was analyzed via PLS for direct and indirect effects of socio-cognitive constructs and their impact on electronic information resources' use intentions. The authors' results suggest there are similarities as well as differences in factors impacting adoption and usage of electronic information resources pre and post EMR implementation in both developing and developed countries. They found that physicians' perceptions of effort expectations, technological infrastructure and support, and computer self-efficacy were the strongest direct drivers influencing intentions to use electronic information resources both in pre and post-EMR implementations in all three countries that were studied. However, a richer set of factors contributed to physicians' intentions to continue to use electronic information resources, post-EMR, in developed countries as compared to pre-EMR in developing countries. Social influences had a strong indirect effects, influencing physicians' perceptions of effort expectations post-EMR as well as perceptions of performance expectations pre-EMR implementation. Computer self-efficacy was a significant predictor of effort expectations of an electronic information resource both pre and post-EMR implementation while compatibility with physicians' practices significantly influenced performance expectations in both pre and post EMR implementations in all three countries studied. The authors' study provides important theoretical and practical implications for successful management and implementation of electronic information resources such that they are adopted and used in the healthcare environment.

Correia (Getulio Vargas Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) The position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) has become increasingly important in companies. However, it can be perceived that this professional, whose functions are increasingly complex, realizes that his/her core competencies are not always sufficient to tackle the daily professional routine centered around the constant transformations the business arena has witnessed. Thus, by using Social Representation Theory operationalized by the Words Evocation Technique, this article sets out to investigate what the Brazilian IT professional perceptions about the CIO core competencies are, in order to compare them with the Brazilian CIO perceptions about his/her own competencies. The work concludes that in Brazil there is strong cognitive dissonance between those perceptions, as only the “capacity to influence the organization” and “technical expertise” competencies are perceived as being essential competencies for CIOs both by IT professionals and CIOs themselves. Lastly, the article highlights some managerial implications accrued from the results obtained.

The key point of this method is that a subnet learns the neighbor data sets while fulfilling its main task: learning the objective data set. Additionally, a relative distance measure is proposed to replace the absolute distance measure used in the classical subnet learning method and its advantage in the general case is theoretically discussed. Both methodology and empirical study of this new method are presented. Two types of experiments respectively related with the approximation problem and the prediction problem in nonlinear dynamic systems are designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with the classical subnet learning method, the average testing error of the proposed method is dramatically decreased and more stable. The superiority of the relative distance measure is also corroborated.

Nowadays IT governance is as a constituent part of governance in banks. Key role of information and communication technology (ICT) in bank growth and development is obvious to top managers, but what needs to be considered carefully is the alignment of business strategies with IT strategies. This article intends to investigate the significant differences of IT governance maturity among the Iranian Banking Industry (publicly-owned and privately-owned). To achieve these implications, an IT governance framework and COBIT 4.1 were employed, using data from 17 large publicly-owned and privately-owned banks. The results indicate that privately-owned banks have a higher maturity rank in alignment of business strategies with IT strategies compared to publicly-owned banks.

In this article, the authors develop an optimization model for railway station waiting room assignment, as well as considering adjustment of platforms. With four types of improvement strategies: zone optimization, room optimization, time optimization and interactive priority policy, this optimal model aims to effectively and efficiently improve the railway service quality and security.

Tan (Department of Information Systems and Analytics, National University of Singapore, Singapore), Hong Ling (Department of Information Management and Information Systems, Fudan University, Shanghai, China) This article opens up the black box of innovation and examines the relationship between functional diversity in software teams and the often neglected dimension of innovation – speed, over the two phases of innovation: creativity and idea implementation. By combining information processing view and social identity theory, the authors hypothesize that when collective team identification is low, functional diversity positively affects the time spent in the creativity phase; however, when collective team identification is high, this relationship is inverted U-shaped. When task cohesion is high, functional diversity negatively affects the time spent in the idea implementation phase; however, when task cohesion is low, this relationship is U-shaped. Results from 96 IT software-teams confirmed the authors' hypotheses. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Martínez-López (Deptartment Business Administration, University of Granada, Granada, Spain & EAE Business School, Barcelona, Spain), Ling Li (Strome College of Business, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, USA) The Mobile Internet Information Technology (MIIT) has been widely accepted as one of the most promising technologies in the next decades, having various applications and different value positions. However, few published studies explore and examine the effects of MIIT on community management. Based on the Dramaturgical Theory, this article uses a case study method to get an insightful understanding of MIIT. This article found that the MIIT was used by grid organizations to realize technological innovation and change organizational routines and structures, but eventually it was shaped by them, so this new technology was only able to embed itself into the public service model as a secondary or complementary role.

Previous studies recognized that information quality is a significant predictor of the online consumers' trust, satisfaction with the goods offered by the e-tailer, and most importantly, purchase intention. However, the extant research has largely ignored the possibly contingent effects of information quality on consumer's purchasing intention. By integrating theories and prior research findings from the marketing and e-commerce field, this article validates the direct effect of information quality on consumer's purchasing intention. More importantly, the authors propose that an e-tailer's market-oriented image (perceived market orientation) and consumer's shopping value would have a moderating role on the relationship between information quality and purchasing intention. A survey was conducted to collect data to test the proposed research model. The results generally support the authors' hypotheses. The practical and theoretical contributions of the study are discussed.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Submissions: The Interplay of Machines and Humans: State of the Art and a Research Agenda for Hybrid Intelligence

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Submissions: The Interplay of Machines and Humans: State of the Art and a Research Agenda for Hybrid Intelligence Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2018 15:25:54 +0100 From: Philipp Ebel <ph.ebel(a)uni-kassel.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Submissions: The Interplay of Machines and Humans: State of the Art and a Research Agenda for Hybrid Intelligence Background Research in the field of information systems provides a long history of discussions of who is superior in predicting certain outcomes: statistical methods or the human brain (Meehl 1954). This debate keeps on flaring up due to the remarkable technological advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) such as solving tasks like object and speech recognition or achieving significant improvements in accuracy through deep-learning algorithms (Jordan and Mitchell 2015). Consequently, serious concerns arise whether general intelligent machines will take over jobs of humans and solves problems that previously required the human intellect (McAfee and Brynjolfsson 2017). However, achieving the development of human-level, general AI in the next decades is rather doubted (e.g. Stanford 2016). The most likely paradigm for the division of labor between humans and machines is thus Hybrid Intelligence. This concept aims at using the complementary strengths of human intelligence and AI to behave more intelligent than each of the two could be in separation (Kamar 2016). While machines are particularly good in consistently solving repetitive tasks that require the fast procession of huge amount of date, humans have superior capabilities for emphatic or intuitive tasks. Therefore, artificial intelligence rather augments the human judgement through providing predictive assistance. In such setting, where AI provides the human with input that is then evaluated to make a judgement, human and machines act as teammates. Vice versa AI systems can benefit and learn from human input. This approach allows to integrate human domain knowledge in the AI to design, complement and evaluate the capabilities of machine intelligence in settings such as medicine or semi-autonomous driving, where humans monitor the performance of machines. The paradigm of Hybrid Intelligence, thus, comprises two interrelated directions: hybrid teamwork, where AI enlarges the intelligence of humans and the augmentation of AI through the input of humans. Within this workshop we will describe both directions and provide insights into the current state of research and practical applications in various domains. This workshop intends to facilitate the discourse amongst IS researchers interested in hybrid intelligence. We invite those who are interested to shape the future of the field to join us in Portsmouth. The workshop itself serves to present, discuss, and organize the ideas submitted. In addition to that, we encourage researchers that are involved in practice-oriented research projects to submit a project description and to showcase their projects within the workshop. Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: · Generalizable models, methodologies and theories to design and facilitate Hybrid Intelligence · Approaches for a new division of labor in references to the task structure and capabilities of AI and humans · Decision models for deciding whether, when and how to access human input · Strategies to prevent mistakes and shortcomings of individual collaborators and the noise in the contributions of individual workers · Effectiveness of different training strategies in improving the performance of workers for accomplishing complex tasks · Design of incentive structures for a given task · Approaches for increasing user acceptance of systems with AI components Submission Guidelines: · The workshop participants will develop their ideas in a short paper of not more than two (2) pages (ECIS paper template). · The submissions should be e-mailed to Dominik Dellermann ( dellermann(a)uni-kassel.de) and Philipp Ebel (ph.ebel(a)uni-kassel.de). In addition to that, interested researchers might participate in the workshop without submitting a paper, but by discussing the manuscripts of the other workshop participants.

The broader use of agile methods leads to intensive organizational change activities that aim at improving agility as a core discipline of the digital enterprise. The transformation has an impact on all levels of the organization including the individual, the end-user, and the customer. Other non-IT functions get increasingly in touch with agile principles and practices. While enterprises are experimenting with the extended use of the agile way of working, research has mainly analyzed the ongoing change from a software development perspective. For this minitrack, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, individual, and managerial challenges of scaling and extending the use of agile methods. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track.
