Fwd: [AISWorld] MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: Next-Generation Information Systems Theories
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: Next-Generation Information Systems Theories Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2018 10:49:40 -0500 From: Jan DeGross <degro003(a)umn.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: Next-Generation Information Systems Theories Editors: Andrew Burton Jones (University of Queensland; abj(a)business.uq.edu.au); Brian Butler (University of Maryland; bsbutler(a)umd.edu); Susan Scott (London School of Economics; S.V.Scott(a)lse.ac.uk); and Sean Xin Xu (Tsinghua University; xuxin(a)sem.tsinghua.edu.cn) Submission Deadline: Extended Abstracts due November 15, 2018; Full Paper submissions due April 1, 2019 Focus and Motivation of the Special Issue: As a research field evolves, it is important to periodically take stock and reflect on how its core theoretical ideas are developing and be open to radical innovation. Do existing theoretical ideas need significant revision? Should well-known ideas be dropped? Are new ideas required? Have important ideas been forgotten? Are opportunities for new ideas not being taken because of academic silos or a failure to adopt innovative models of enquiry? This special issue provides an opportunity to take stock and reflect on theoretical progress in Information Systems and forge exciting new theoretical avenues for the future. Now is a particularly opportune time for the Information Systems field to take stock of its theoretical progress and develop next-generation IS theories. We are witnissing fundamental changes in the field’s core phenomena as well as major changes in ur data, methods, and categories of knowledge. This Special Issue offers an opportunity to energize the best theoretical minds in the field to see if we can lay the foundations for a new generation of research. This will be the second MIS Quarterly special issue devoted to theory papers. (In March 1999, MIS Quarterly issued a Call for Submissions for a Special Issue on Redefining the Organizational Roles of Information Technology in the Information Age. The issue was motivated by transformations occurring throughout the 1990s. The papers for that Special Issue appeared in the September 2002 (Volume 26, Number 3) and June 2003 (Volume 27, Number 2) issues.) As a result, this special issue represents an opportunity for MISQ to publish not only the best theoretical work, but also the best of the theory paper genre. While not wishing to limit the structure of papers submitted to the special issue, we suggest three examples that might work for many authors: 1. Pure theory papers: Papers that provide a detailed review of theory in a focal domain but where the new theoretical contribution departs from the prior literature and the focus is on the new theory being generated. 2. Review-oriented theory papers: Papers that provide a very detailed review of theory in a focal domain and where the new theoretical contribution stems from the authors’ synthesis of that review (e.g., through its critique or reformulation). 3. Empirically enhanced theory papers: Papers that focus on the generation of new theory but where data plays an important developmental, illustrative or justificatory role. To view the full call for papers, including information on the Special Issue Editorial Board, the process and time lines for submissions, and key dates, go to the MIS Quarterly’s home page at https://misq.org _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

The list of accepted papers will be posted on the workshop site soon. - The other half is devoted to collaborative working on a real case from the local industry. To get a grasp on how it is done check a report on the last year exercise at: http://stpis2018.blogs.dsv.su.se/files/2018/04/STPIS18_paper_9.pdf * *Note that we still accept poster submissions (until *1st May)* * *The workshop is attached to CAiSE'18 conference https://caise2018.ut.ee/ Full description of the workshop see at http://stpis2018.blogs.dsv.su.se/ Short description is presented below If you are interested, please, register at https://caise2018.ut.ee/registration/ indicating STPIS'18 as your choice for 12th of June --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over a half century, it is often forgotten in the Information Systems (IS) discourse today. Consequently, many “new approaches” appear to reflect on IS systems problems, such as modern IT systems poorly adjusted to the external or/and internal environment (e.g. market, organizational culture) of organizations in which they are (to be) deployed. We strongly believe that it is high time the social-technical perspective took its proper place in IS research, practice and teaching. The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Case studies using socio-technical approach * Information system design using socio-technical approach * Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption * Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration of – health care systems – crisis management systems – information security management systems – learning systems – privacy enhanced technology * Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective * Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and adoption * IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective * Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of socio-technical systems Organizing committee ------------------------------ Stewart Kowalski, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, - general chair Peter Bednar, School of Computing, University of Portsmouth, UK - program chair Ilia Bider – DSV, Stockholm University/Ibissoft, Stockholm, Sweden - publicity chair Best regards -- Ilia =============================================== Dr. Ilia Bider Process- och systemutvecklingskonsult at IbisSoft.se Lektor & Forskare/Docent i data- och systemvetenskap at DSV.su.se ilia(a)ibissoft.se +46 (0)8 164998 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Workshop FCA4AI@IJCAI 2018 (1st CFP) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 19:48:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Amedeo Napoli <amedeo.napoli(a)loria.fr> Reply-To: Amedeo Napoli <amedeo.napoli(a)loria.fr> To: Amedeo Napoli <amedeo.napoli(a)loria.fr>, Sergei Kuznetsov <skuznetsov(a)yandex.ru>, Sebastian Rudolph <sebastian.rudolph(a)tu-dresden.de> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- FCA4AI (Sixth Edition) -- ``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' co-located with IJCAI 2018, Stockholm, Sweden July 13 2018 http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2018 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information. The five preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2016, 2014 and 2012, IJCAI 2015 and 2013) showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested in a powerful method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis (see CEUR Proceedings Vol-1703, Vol-1430, Vol-1257, Vol-1058, and Vol-939). This year, we have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Stockholm co-located with the IJCAI 2018 Conference. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering, as well as information retrieval, recommendation, social network analysis and text processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on pattern structures and relational concept analysis. These extensions are aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, for solving problems in data analysis, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation, ontology engineering, and many more. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA. Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in the following main issues: - How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning), learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language processing, or information retrieval? - How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new and complex problems in their domain? The workshop is dedicated to discussing such issues. TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: - Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern structures, relational structures. - Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules, itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction, classification and clustering. - Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge representation and reasoning. - Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data). - Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval, visualization and navigation, pattern recognition, and practical applications in agronomy, biology, chemistry, finance, manufacturing, medicine, etc. The workshop will include time for audience discussion toward developing a better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: May 23 2018 Notification to authors: June 11 2018 Final version: June 25 2018 Workshop: July 13 2018 SUBMISSION DETAILS: The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS style.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP Deadline Extension: Resilience@Euro-Par 2018 - Papers due May 11 Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 15:53:13 -0400 From: Christian Engelmann <engelmannc(a)computer.org> To: sdmas(a)googlegroups.com, TCSC(a)cse.stfx.ca, hpc-announce(a)mcs.anl.gov, Computational Science List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. The workshop paper deadline has been extended to May 11, 2018 (no further extensions). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <https://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2018> in conjunction with the 24th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Turin, Italy August 27 - 31, 2018 <https://europar2018.org> Overview: Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to increase component counts, individual component reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), and software complexity increases. Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing infrastructures, and Cloud computing services. While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error (UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect application output. There are many other types of hardware and software faults, errors, and failures in computing systems. Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity, enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault tolerance. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing, Grid computing, and Cloud computing. Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in English in PDF format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and BETWEEN 10 AND 12 PAGES, including figures, tables and references, using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format at <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Papers with less than 10 or more than 12 pages will not be accepted due to publisher guidelines. Submissions should include abstract, key words and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Papers not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS as post-conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop for inclusion in the proceedings. Authors may contact the workshop program chairs for more information.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Open Educational Resource Discovery and Delivery
by Gustaf Neumann 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Open Educational Resource Discovery and Delivery Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 21:44:01 +0000 From: He, Wu <WHe(a)odu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special issue call for papers from Information Discovery and Delivery Open Educational Resource, or OER in short, has been referred to as educational sources or services that anyone may have equal access and contribution (Tuomi, 2006; UNESCO, 2002). Its benefit of reducing students’ cost of education has been validated and underscored in numerous reports. A recent review of 16 OER studies in higher education showed that overall students using OER had the same level of achievement as those using traditional textbook, if not better (Hilton, 2016). Faculty and students reported favorable perceptions toward OER. As a young and growing field, OER has shown its promise in providing accessible and affordable educational opportunities for learners. However, Hilton (2016) found out in his search effort that first there were not many OER studies, and second, there was a lack of studies with rigorous research design. At the same time, as Drs. Wiley, Bliss, and McEwen (2014) pointed out, it faces several major challenges, among which the following questions are significant. What constitutes a quality OER source or service? How is the quality measured? How to find quality OER to effectively support specific needs? What are effective ways to find, localize, and manage OER for a specific linguistic and cultural context? We invite authors to submit paper on OER discovery, localization, management, and quality from theoretical, technical, and design perspectives. Topics may include, but not limited to: * Finding, Seeking and Sharing OER * OER Delivery and Management * OER and digital library * Users’ behavior in OER such as information seeking behavior * Learning analytics and data mining of OER * Recommendation systems for OER * OER accessibility * Effective use of OER * OER design and evaluation * OER quality * OER localization or adaptation in and across courses * Open assessment * Global impact * Systematic review of OER research * Advances in OER * Case studies related to OER discovery and delivery Guest Editors Shenghua Zha, University of South Alabama, shzha(a)southalabama.edu Gayle Davidson-Shivers, University of South Alabama, gvds(a)southalabama.edu I-Chun Tsai, University of Akron, tsai1(a)uakron.edu Important Dates Submission due: June 8, 2018 Final papers: September 2018 Submissions should comply with the journal author guidelines which are here – see http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.h… Submissions should be made through ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission and peer review system.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: HICSS-52 Machine Learning, Robotic and Toy Computing Minitrack Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:16:41 +0000 From: Patrick Hung <Patrick.Hung(a)uoit.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Many Thanks! Call For Papers The 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, January 8-11, 2019 ========================================================================== Machine Learning, Robotic and Toy Computing Minitrack URL: http://hicss.hawaii.edu Machine learning employs software tools from advanced analytics disciplines such as data mining, predictive analytics, and text based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using multiple processing layers with complex structures or non-linear transformations. At the same time, the processing and analysis of machine learning applications present methodological and technological challenges. Further machine learning applications are advantaged by a rise in sensing technologies as witnessed in both the number of sensors and the rich diversity of sensors ranging from cell phones, personal computers, and health tracking appliances to Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies designed to give contextual, semantic data to entities in an ubiquitous environment that previously could not contribute intelligence to key decisions and smart devices. Recently AI technologies have been applied to robotic and toy computing. Robotic computing is one branch of AI technologies, and their synergistic interactions, that enable and are enabled by robots. Robots now can easily capture a user's physical activity state (e.g., walking, standing, running, etc.) and store personalized information (e.g., face, voice, location, activity pattern, etc.) through the camera, microphone, and sensors by AI technologies. Toy computing is a recently developing concept which transcends the traditional toy into a new area of computer research using AI technologies. A toy in this context can be effectively considered a computing device or peripheral called Smart Toys. We invite research and industry papers related to these specific challenges and others that are driving innovation in machine learning, robotic and toy computing. With a general focus on machine learning, robotic and toy computing, this mini-track covers related topics in machine learning, robotic and toy computing such as: * Data Modeling and Implementation * Analytics and Algorithms * Business Models * Delivery, Deployment, and Maintenance * Real-time Processing Technologies and Online Transactions * Conceptual and Technical Architecture * Visualization Technologies * Modeling and Implementation * Security, Privacy, and Trust * Industry Standards and Solution Stacks * Provenance Tracking Frameworks and Tools * Software Repositories * Organizations Best Practices * Case Studies (e.g., smart toys, healthcare, financial, aviation, etc.) Extended versions of accepted papers will be invited for submission by specific journal special issue in Electronic Commerce Research and Applications by Elsevier (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/electronic-commerce-research-and-applicat…). Deadline for authors to submit papers: *** June 15, 2018 (11:59 PM, Hawaii time) *** Submission link: http://www.hicss.org Minitrack Co-Chairs: Patrick C. K.
