At the same time, we face cognitive limitations, and our decisions are influenced by various heuristics and biases, either for the good or bad. In light of humans’ bounded rationality, the field of behavioral economics examines the effects of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors on judgment and decision making of individuals and organizations. As decisions are increasingly made in online environments, understanding economic behavior in digital environments becomes ever more important. Behavioral economics has reinforced the point that the context matters when making judgments or decisions. Thus, people’s decisions are not only influenced by the content of choices but also the presentation of choices. That is, the design of the decision environment can “nudge” people into certain behaviors. Coined by behavioral economists, “nudging” describes how even minor changes to the decision environment influence choices, typically unnoticed by the decision maker. As any decision is influenced by the decision environment the presentation will always (intentionally or unintentionally) influence how people actually make their choices. As decisions are increasingly made online, the concept of “digital nudging” extends “nudging” to the digital environment, referring to both the design and effects of nudges in digital decision environments—i.e., the use of user-interface design elements to guide people’s behavior on online platforms. The main purpose of this minitrack is to explore and extend, as well as exchange, research related to behavioral economics and nudging in the context of information systems design and the digital economy. Specifically, this mini-track aims to examine the design, main applications, and effects of digital nudging in information systems design, in particular, research with an emphasis on the effects of interface design on users’ behavior, judgment, and decision making in Internet-based systems. We welcome papers that draw on or combine behavioral research methods (e.g., experimentation, survey, case study, action research), and design science approaches. ************************************************************************ TOPICS * Applications of behavioral economics concepts to information system design * Design of online choice architectures * Information processing for decision making * Influence of information presentation on consumption behavior (for example, feedback mechanisms in website design and sustainable behaviors) * Framing effects in website design * Impact of anchoring effects on online judgment and decision making * Impact of behavioral economics principles and website design implementation on privacy and trust * Issues related to behavioral design principles and security * Impact of website design on loss aversion and risk perception/evaluation * Impact of digital nudges on online judgment and decision making * Website designs/elements that encourage rational thinking and/or nudge users into certain behaviors * Issues related to dynamic website design and interactive decision making * Website design and preference building effects * Cognitive, emotional, and social factors and information systems design * Applications of behavioral economics principles in online platforms that influence users’ behaviors (for example, in online auctions and e-marketplaces, crowdfunding platform, mobility platforms, and others) * Ethical issues of digital nudging ************************************************************************ MINI-TRACK CHAIRS Markus Weinmann (Primary Contact) University of Liechtenstein Email: markus.weinmann(a)uni.li Christoph Schneider City University of Hong Kong Email: christoph.schneider(a)cityu.edu.hk Jan vom Brocke University of Liechtenstein Email: jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] AlCoB 2018: call for posters Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 07:59:49 +0100 From: IRDTA <irdta(a)irdta.eu> Reply-To: IRDTA <irdta(a)irdta.eu> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu AlCoB 2018: call for posters *To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 5th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2018) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2018 will be held in Hong Kong on June 25-26, 2018. See http://grammars.grlmc.com/AlCoB2018/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion. TOPICS Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics: - assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, - identifying gene structures in the genome, - recognizing regulatory motifs, - aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, - reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and - inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Poster submission deadline: May 18, 2018 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: May 25, 2018 SUBMISSION Please submit a .pdf abstract through: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2018 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words. PRESENTATION Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion. PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2018. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (2016 JCR impact factor: 1.955). REGISTRATION At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by June 11, 2018. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euros. It gives the same rights all other conference participants have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, lunches, coffee breaks). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter independently. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi
