Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2018 - CFP - Strategic Implications of Blockchain, Bitcoin, and the Internet of Things (IoT)
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2018 - CFP - Strategic Implications of Blockchain, Bitcoin, and the Internet of Things (IoT) Datum: Fri, 2 Feb 2018 11:42:17 -0600 Von: Dan J. Kim <danjongkim(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, We kindly invite you to submit your research paper to the "Strategic Implications of Blockchain, Bitcoin, and the Internet of Things (IoT)" mini-track under Strategic and Competitive Uses of Information Technology (SCUIT) Track of the 2018 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 16-18 August, 2018 in New Orleans, LA. Mini-track description: It is widely speculated that the Blockchain distributed data architecture will be important with wide ranging applications. The Blockchain structure takes advantage of cryptography, redundancy, and self-validation to create an amazingly robust, secure, and potentially anonymous distributed data structure. The security of the Blockchain structure has been proven in the extreme environment of cryptocurrency, where Blockchain is the basis of bitcoin. While Bitcoin has become a legitimate currency accepted in thousands of stores, its true test of data security is that it has been accepted in some of the least reputable transactions in the world. Bitcoin is sometimes called a "trustless" technology, not because it is trustworthy, but because it reduces or eliminates the need for parties to trust each other and the need for banks, governments, or other 3rd parties to verify data and transactions. The ability to have absolute confidence in data and transactions without a centralized clearinghouse can radically affect accounting, auditing, risk management, information systems, banking, financial services, national sovereignty, currency markets, supply chains, marketing, privacy and may form the backbone for the much heralded "Internet of Things (IoT)." Many of future IoT applications will depend on the level of trust between devices and people. Papers in this mini-track would investigate the role of blockchain as an enabling technology for financial transactions, cryptocurrencies, and the proliferation of the Internet of Things. The submission deadline is Feb 28, 2018 (CST). Submission guidelines: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/submissions/types-of-submissions Submit your paper: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ If you have any questions, please let us know.

Fwd: [wkwi] KDD 2018 Call for Applied Data Science Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] KDD 2018 Call for Applied Data Science Papers Datum: Fri, 2 Feb 2018 19:07:43 +0100 (CET) Von: Ehmke, Jan Fabian <jan.ehmke(a)ovgu.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de ===================================== KDD 2018 Call for Applied Data Science Papers ===================================== *********** Key dates *********** Submission: February 11, 2018 Notification: May 6, 2018 Camera-ready: May 25, 2018 Short Promotional Video (Required): June 4, 2018 Source Code and Presentation (Optional): June 4, 2018 All deadlines are at 11:59PM Alofi Time. There will be absolutely no exception to these deadlines. *********** Description *********** We invite submissions of papers describing designs and implementations of solutions and systems for practical tasks in data mining, data analytics, data science, and applied machine learning. The primary emphasis is on papers that either solve or advance the understanding of issues related to deploying data science technologies in the real world. Submitted papers will go through a peer review process. The Applied Data Science Track is distinct from the Research Track in that submissions focus on real-world problems and systems that are deployed or are in the process of being deployed. Submissions must clearly identify one of the following three categories they fall into: “deployed”, “in-progress”, or “observational”. The ADS Chairs might shift a submission from one category to another, if they find that the submission is misplaced. The criteria for submissions in each category are as follows: - CATEGORY Deployed: Must describe implementation of a system that solves a significant real-world problem and is in current use. The paper should present the problem, its significance to the application domain, the decisions and tradeoffs made when making design choices for the solution, the deployment challenges, and the lessons learned. Evidence must be provided that the solution has been deployed by quantifying post-launch performance. Papers that describe enabling infrastructure for large-scale deployment of applied machine learning also fall in this category. An example might be a deployed system that collects heartbeat audio from mobile phones during a marathon race and uses machine learning to identify potentially irregular signals and to alert support personnel. - CATEGORY In-progress: As above, except that the system has not been deployed yet or (rarely!) a conclusion has been reached that the problem is unsolvable. In addition to the content required for deployed solution papers, in-progress papers must explain what fundamental insights were achieved so far, what milestones were reached, and what are the obstacles to deployment. Straightforward improvements over trivial baseline solutions are unlikely to qualify. Continuing the example above, an in-progress paper might present a system that achieves reasonable error rates in an experiment with many volunteers but suffers from interferences among mobiles that are located very close to each other. - CATEGORY Observational: Must describe important insights into the input data and/or the performance of a significant real world applications and explain their practical impact. Continuing the example above, an observational paper might present an analysis of a large number of recordings taken during in-hospital cardiac stress tests juxtaposing the system’s performance to that of human cardiologists, the correlation between “murmurs” and other heart tests, the size of the models that can analyze the audio satisfactorily, etc, and from here derive whether such a system is currently realistic or will have to wait for better sensors and more on-device computing power. Pointers to example papers for each category, taken from KDD 2017 Applied Data Science Track, can be found under http://www.kdd.org/kdd2018/calls/view/kdd-2018-call-for-applied-data-scienc… ********************** Submission directions ********************** KDD is a dual track conference hosting both a Research track and an Applied Data Science track. Due to the large number of submissions, papers submitted to the Research track will not be considered for publication in the Applied Data Science track and vice versa. Authors are encouraged to read the track descriptions carefully and to choose an appropriate track for their submissions. Following KDD conference tradition, reviews are not double-blind, and author names and affiliations should be listed. Submissions are limited to a total of 9 (nine) pages, including all content and references, and must be in PDF format and formatted according to the new Standard ACM Conference Proceedings Template. For LaTeX users: unzip acmart.zip, make, and use sample-sigconf.tex as a template; Additional information about formatting and style files is available online at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Papers that do not meet the formatting requirements will be rejected without review. Website Submissions for KDD 2018 are being accepted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kdd18 ********************** Important policies ********************** - Reproducibility Submitted papers will be assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, insightfulness, depth, clarity, and reproducibility. Authors are strongly encouraged to make their code and data publicly available whenever possible. Algorithms and resources used in a paper should be described as completely as possible to allow reproducibility. This includes experimental methodology, empirical evaluations, and results. The reproducibility factor will play an important role in the assessment of each submission. - Authorship Every person named as the author of a paper must have contributed substantially both to the work described in the paper and to the writing of the paper. Every listed author must take responsibility for the entire content of a paper. Persons who do not meet these requirements may be acknowledged, but should not be listed as authors. Post-submission changes to the author list are not allowed. - Dual submissions Submitted papers must describe work that is substantively different from work that has already been published, or accepted for publication, or submitted in parallel to other conferences or journals. However, there are several exceptions to this rule: 1. Submission is permitted for a shorter version of a paper submitted to a journal, but not yet published. Authors must declare such dual-submissions on the submission form and must ensure that the journal in question allows concurrent submissions to conferences. 2. Submissions are permitted for papers presented or to be presented at seminars, conferences or workshops without proceedings. 3. Submissions are permitted for papers that have previously been made available only in the form of technical report with no peer reviews, in particular on arXiv. ********************** Conflicts of interest ********************** During the submission process, enter the email domains of all institutions with which you have an institutional conflict of interest. You have an institutional conflict of interest if you are currently employed or have been employed at this institution in the past three years, or you have extensively collaborated with this institution within the past three years. Authors are also required to identify all PC/SPC members with whom they have a conflict of interest, eg, advisor, student, colleague, or coauthor in the last five years. ************ Attendance ************ For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper. Authors of all accepted papers must prepare a final version for publication, a poster, and a three-minute short video presentation. ************ Copyright ************ Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM and also appear in the ACM Digital Library. The rights retained by authors who transfer copyright to ACM can be found here. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date for KDD 2018 is on or after Jul 11, 2018. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

Enterprise modelling delivers the 'blueprints' for co-designing and aligning business and enterprise information systems such that they complement each other in an optimal way. Achieving such interplay requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, economic, and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud, social and big data, additional challenges for enterprise modelling and the design of information systems architectures emerge, e.g., in respect to the design of data-driven processes or processes enabling cross-enterprise collaboration. To deal with these challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as information systems, business informatics, and computer science will be required. EMISA 2018 is the ninth international workshop in a series that provides a key forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of enterprise modelling and the design of information system (IS) architectures. The workshop series emphasizes a holistic view on these fields, fostering integrated approaches that address and relate business processes, business people and information technology. The workshop is open for a broad range of subjects. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: ·Enterprise modelling: languages, methods, tools ·Patterns for enterprise modelling ·Patterns for information systems architectures ·Model life cycle management ·Model evolution ·Model configuration and model variants ·Model quality: metrics, case studies, and experiments ·Process modelling and process-aware information systems ·Collaborative enterprise modelling ·Model-driven architectures ·Model-driven IS development ·Component- and service-oriented software architectures ·Service engineering and evolution ·Service composition, orchestration and choreography ·Complex event processing and event-driven architectures ·Human aspects in enterprise modelling ·Modelling social information and innovation networks ·Information systems in the cloud ·Mobile enterprise services n*Submissions* EMISA 2018 calls for submissions in the following categories: 1)*PhD Research Proposals:*EMISA 2018 invites PhD students to submit research proposals.

The digital transformation means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in various domains. In general, Digital Transformation can be defined as an integration of digital technology into all areas of business, resulting in fundamental changes to how businesses operate and how they deliver value to their customers. The BIS Conference traditionally has focused on actual trends of development, implementation and application of business information systems in different domains. Thus, to continue this tradition, the upcoming edition of BIS will focus on the Digital Transformation that affects both individual businesses and whole domains, such as e.g. administration, communication, art, medicine, healthcare, finance and science. The Digital Transformation is described as "the total and overall societal effect of digitalization". Digitization has enabled the process of digitalization, which resulted in transformation of existing business models, socio-economic structures, legal and policy measures, organizational patterns, cultural barriers, etc. There are a number of reasons why businesses undergo Digital Transformation. The main argument is that they simply have to. With the evolving business markets, companies that want to succeed must understand how to apply technology to support strategical decisions and realise the visions. However, there are many ways how it may be achieved. Thus, the BIS 2018 Conference wants to drive the discussion of Digital Transformation related to problems, challenges and opportunities for today’s business markets.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [fai-saso] 12th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems - SASO 2018 CFP Datum: Fri, 2 Feb 2018 08:51:28 +0100 Von: Antonio Bucchiarone <bucchiarone(a)fbk.eu> An: fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de *** Apologies for multiple postings *** SASO 2018, Trento, Italy ==================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 12th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems - SASO 2018 - September 3-7, 2018 Trento, Italy https://saso2018.fbk.eu Part of FAS* - Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2018) ==================================================================================== AIMS AND MOTIVATION The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research on the foundations of engineered systems that self-adapt and self-organize. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software, and services can be characterized by issues such as scale, heterogeneity, openness, and dynamics in the environment. This has led the software engineering, distributed systems, and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems in a principled way. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches. They form the basis of many other so-called self-* properties, such as self-configuration, self-healing, or self-optimization. SASO aims to be an interdisciplinary meeting, where contributions from participants with different backgrounds leads to the fostering of a cross-pollination of ideas, and where innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications can emerge. SCOPE The twelfth edition of the SASO conference embraces this interdisciplinary nature, and welcomes novel contributions to both the foundational and application-focused dimensions of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. We are looking for contributions that present new fundamental understanding of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems and how they can be engineered and used. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Self-* Systems theory: nature-inspired and socially-inspired paradigms and heuristics; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; theoretical frameworks and models; control theory; - Self-* System properties: robustness; resilience; stability; anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent behavior; computational awareness and self-awareness; - Self-* Systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and algorithms; design patterns; architectures; methodologies; software and middleware development frameworks and methods; platforms and toolkits; multi-agent systems; - Theory and practice of self-organization: self-governance, change management, electronic institutions, distributed consensus, commons, knowledge management, and the general use of rules, policies, etc. in self-* systems; - Theory and practice of self-adaptation: mechanisms for adaptation, including evolution, logic, learning; adaptability, plasticity, flexibility; - Socio-technical self-* systems: human and social factors; visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness; humans-in-the-loop; ethics and humanities in self-* systems; - Data-driven approaches to self-* systems: data mining; machine learning; data science and other statistical techniques to analyze, understand, and manage the behavior of complex systems; - Self-adaptive and self-organizing hardware: self-* materials; self-construction; reconfigurable hardware; - Self-* Systems Education: experience reports; curricula; innovative course concepts; methodological aspects of self-* systems education; - Applications and experiences with self-* systems: smart grid, smart cities, smart homes, adaptive industrial plants, cyber-physical systems; autonomous vehicles and robotics; traffic management; self-adaptive cyber-security; Internet of Things; fog/edge computing; etc. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: April 16, 2018 Paper submission: April 23, 2018 Notification: June 4, 2018 Camera ready copy due: July 2, 2018 Conference: September 3-7, 2018 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions can have up to 10 pages formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Please submit your papers electronically in PDF format using the SASO 2018 conference management system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2018 The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE Digital Library. Note that a separate Call for Poster and Demo Submissions will also be issued. As per the standard IEEE policies, all submissions should be original, i.e., they should not have been previously published in any conference proceedings, book, or journal and should not currently be under review for another archival conference. We would like to also highlight IEEE’s policies regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism (http://www.ieee.org/.../ID_Plagiarism.html). Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to participate in the Demo or Poster Sessions. REVIEW CRITERIA Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. Both theoretical and empirical contributions should be highlighted, substantiated by formal analysis, simulation, experimental evaluations, or comparative studies, etc. Appropriate references must be made to related work. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of the SASO conference, we encourage papers to be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers should provide an indication of the real-world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the domain, and an evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome, especially if they highlight insights into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems that would be of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated based on the quality of their technical contribution, originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the state of the art, and overall quality.

Virtual communities can provide an additional means for patients to provide support to one another facing similar health issues. Healthcare providers are utilizing virtual environments to connect with patients and consult with other providers, while healthcare organizations are creating new ways to manage and improve healthcare operations. Virtual environments present new channels to educate the public on various topics such as healthcare crises or managing chronic diseases. It also provides opportunities to garner information from individuals to identify emerging issues, such as flu epidemics. However, concerns also arise with leveraging virtual environments for healthcare-related purposes, such as patient privacy and information accuracy. Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the issues associated with virtual communities and social media in health care. We encourage paper submissions that study the development, use, and assessment of virtual communities and social media in healthcare, which can be from a variety of perspectives (e.g., patient, healthcare provider, and healthcare organization). We welcome papers that study the application of virtual communities and social media in this context as well as challenge such applications.
