Much of this diverse data in unstructured and structured forms has a high business value and, if properly utilized, can become an important organizational asset. It contains various information about customers, competition, labor market, and development trends for industries, products and services, as well as the public and political mood. For innovative and sustainable development, it is essential for organizations to utilize this data to increase sales, identify future opportunities and new markets, outperform the competition, enhance products and services, recruit talent, improve operations, perform forecasting, protect the brand, and identify areas for improvement to name a few. However, many organizations make a limited use of this valuable data available to them either because they lack necessary tools or do not understand the value of this d ata. The main objective of this minitrack is to provide organizations a theoretical, conceptual, and applied grounded discussion of Business Intelligence and Big Data (BI & BD) to aid in innovative and sustainable development as well as effective decision-making. This minitrack addresses the following questions: * What is the substance (nature) of BI & BD? * What is the added-value of BI & BD to development of organizations and their decision-making process? * How to support organizational creativity, innovation and decision-making using BI & BD? * How to design intelligent information systems and build decision support systems based on BI & BD? * How to use BI & BD tools and solutions to achieve innovative and sustainable development of organizations? This minitrack invites papers focused on, but not limited to: * Theoretical foundations for BI & BD development * BI & BD to improve innovative and sustainable development of organizations; * Challenges and opportunities of applying BI & BD for innovative and sustainable development of organizations * Development of BI & BD analytics capability * BI & BD driven strategies * BI & BD-enabled business transformation * Business value of BI & BD * BI & BD engineering for business model innovation * Practical approaches, solutions, methods, and tools to foster innovative and sustainable development of organizations by using of BI & BD Important dates: * June 15, 2018 Submit full manuscripts - the review is double-blind * August 17, 2018 Acceptance notice is emailed to authors by the review system * September 22, 2018 Submit final paper for publication in the conference proceedings * January 8-11, 2019 HICSS Conference Minitrack Co-Chairs: Celina M.

Despite its young age, it has already been proven that Citizen Science can be beneficial as much as Classical Science. There are varied sectors such as scientific research, science literacy improvement, community services, ecological knowledge, environmental education, technology and many more are created for citizen science programs. The main objective is to contributing data, helping researchers to find solution, and monitoring the problems and providing solutions. Nevertheless, it has particular problem: every Citizens Science project uses databases, which are in turn typically disjunct, disparate, incomplete, and outdated. However, the monitoring and building comprehensive up-to-date database is one of the main challenges for citizen science database. In addition, the lack of user participation, funding, flexible database design and user-friendly applications are also other challenges. Volunteer-based participation of citizens is one of the main solutions for monitoring databases and collecting data. Similarly, designing the flexible approaches to collect the data, providing services to use gathered data in various sectors of science, designing user friendly design approach for user involvement are possible solutions considered in citizen science database programs. To address some of those concerns if not all the 1st International Work-shop on Citizen Science Applications and Citizen Data-Bases (CSADB 2018) is proposed with the aim to provide a platform for exchanging empirical and theoretical research results about CSADB problems and solutions. The list of workshop topics (but not limited to) * Applications and case studies of citizen sciences stemming from * Environmental issues * City Pollution * Citizens alertness for issues around living environment * Natural resources protection programs * Smart Cities * Ecology * Natural Disasters alertness (for example forest fires) * Scientific research * Science literacy improvement * Community services * Ecological knowledge * Environmental education * Citizens data gathering principals and scenario models * Citizens data collection scenarios * Citizens activities and motivational theories * Modeling, analytics and design of citizen science applications, databases, conceptual models * Systems adaptation according current needs, circumstances and culture * Enhancement of database technology and techniques for citizen science applications * Data-intensive applications for users based on semantic web * Collaborative behavior management * Environmental, privacy and social issues of citizen science domain * User requirements and engineering life cycle for citizen science systems * User-aware supportive and intelligent systems * Intelligent responsive systems * Learning systems based on cognitive modelling and knowledge integration * Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction * Use of common vocabularies for citizen science applications The aim of the CSADB Workshop is to bring together Computer Science and information systems experts, and more precisely Data Scientists, involved in citizen science applications engineering. The goal is to exchange experiences and view-points in building state of the art solutions from realizations, challenges, and reuse, to adapting solutions that have been proposed in other domains. Paper submission procedures Papers will be subject to peer review by at least three members of an international program committee. The workshop website (https://www.is.informatik.uni-kiel.de/is/veranstaltungen/csadb2018adbis/) is maintained by Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany and uses the EasyChair paper submission and review system. CSADB will include main and short papers into the LNCS proceedings published by Springer in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series. The expected length of the papers are 12 pages according to the general policy. For each accepted paper at least one author will have to be register for the workshop and the conference in order to publish the paper in the LNCS proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Organizing and Entrepreneuring in Distributed Contexts, Stockholm, Aug 30-31 Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 06:45:18 +0000 From: Claire Ingram Bogusz <Claire.Ingram(a)hhs.se> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> WORKSHOP ON "ORGANIZING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN DISTRIBUTED CONTEXTS" House of Innovation, Stockholm School of Economics Cambridge Digital Innovation, University of Cambridge Stockholm, August 30-31, 2018 Deadline for extended abstracts (maximum 3000 words excl. refs): May 15, 2018 Please send questions and submissions to: claire.ingram(a)hhs.se<mailto:claire.ingram@hhs.se> Deadline for full papers (maximum 8000 words excl. refs): August 1, 2018 The idea that technological progress changes-and often improves-how organizations are managed is one that has stood the test of time (See Melville et al., 2004). However, the how of organizing in the digital age is incredible complex (Zammuto et al., 2007) and still poorly understood. This is because of the interconnected social and technical structures involved in organizing (Tilson et al., 2010), the distributed nature of organizing and innovation in the digital age (Yoo et al., 2012), and the rapidly evolving interplay between technologies and patterns of organizing (Henfridsson & Bygstad, 2013). Despite this, the digital age has not only given rise to new patterns of organizing among established organizations but also given rise to new entrepreneurial organizations (Nambisan, 2017). These organizations enable new activities, interactions and behaviors, including the creation of new market conditions and even new markets (von Hippel & von Krogh, 2003), new ways of coordinating (Venters, Oborn, & Barrett, 2014), and new ways of building and delivering products and services (Yoo et al., 2012). However, these new activities bring with them new concerns, for instance around governance and control in the digital age (Gregory et al., 2015) and the appropriation of rents in distributed contexts (West & O'Mahony, 2008). This paper development workshop therefore calls for papers that examine "Organizing and Entrepreneuring in Distributed Contexts". Possible topics for examination include the following: - Flexibility in digital entrepreneurship and organizing - Paradoxes in distributed contexts - Coordination, communication and governance in distributed contexts - Rent appropriation in distributed contexts - Disintermediation and its impact on actors, activities, and ecosystems - Organizational transformation(s) in light of decentralization Confirmed senior scholars include Michael Barrett (University of Cambridge), Eivor Oborn (Warwick University), Magnus Mähring (Stockholm School of Economics), and Robin Teigland (Stockholm School of Economics). Please note that there is no workshop fee, but participants will need to cover their accommodation and travel expenses.

Fwd: [WI] CfP 11th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’18)
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP 11th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’18) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:53:39 +0200 From: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu Reply-To: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu The 11th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’18) September 9-14, 2018 Sydney, Australia Call for Papers Deadline for workshop paper submissions: June 1st, 2018 Workshop Theme Social software [1] is a paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, organizations and economics. It enables social business [2] that has created a multitude of success stories. More and more enterprises use social software to improve their business processes and create new business models. Social software is used both in internal and external business processes. Using social software, the communication with the customer is increasingly bi- directional. E.g. companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas for new products and features. Social software also creates new possibilities to enhance internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc. Social software is based on four principles: weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning. * Weak ties Weak-ties [3] are spontaneously established contacts between individuals that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social software supports the creation of weak ties by supporting to create contacts in impulse between non-predetermined individuals. * Social Production Social Production [4] is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this. By this means it is possible to integrate new and innovative contributions not identified or planned in advance. Reputation based mechanisms assure quality following an a-posteriori approach. * Egalitarianism Egalitarianism is the attitude of handling individuals equally. Social software highly relies on egalitarianism and therefore strives for giving all participants the same rights to contribute. This is done with the intention to encourage a maximum of contributors and to get the best solution fusioning a high number of contributions, thus enabling the wisdom of the crowds [5] [6]. Social software realizes egalitarianism by abolishing hierarchical structures, merging the roles of contributors and consumers and introducing a culture of trust. * Mutual Service Provisioning Social software abolishes the separation of the service provider and consumer by introducing the idea, that service provisioning is a mutual process of service exchange. Thus both service provider and consumer (or better prosumer) provide services to one another in order co-create value [7]. This mutual service provisioning contrasts to the idea of industrial service provisioning, where services are produced in separation from the customer to achieve scaling effects. Up to recent years, the interaction of social software and its underlying paradigms with business processes have not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social software interacts with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service, and how business processes may profit from these principles. The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process Management, Social Business and Big Data in Social Business. Social Business Process Management is the use of social software to support one or multiple phases of the business process life cycle. 1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM) - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation) can profit the most by social software? - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - Is there an influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning on BPM methods themselves? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - How do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning influence the design of business processes? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business processes which are not well-defined? 2. Social Business: Social software supporting business processes - Which new possibilities for the support of business processes are created by social software? - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? 3. Human Aspects of Business Process Management - What requirements are created for individuals by participating in a multitude of business processes. - Which concepts and technologies exist to support the individual in coping with different external business processes - Which further human aspects of business process management exist ? - Human-centric business processes - Human resource management in business processes Goal Based on the ten previous successful BPMS2 workshops since 2008, the goal of the BPMS2’18 workshop is to promote the integration of business process management with social software and to enlarge the community pursuing the theme. Workshop paper format Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20-minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted, and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation.

We welcome submissions for tools ranging from research prototypes to industry-strength mature tools. We also encourage submissions that accompany papers from the Research Paper track. While research papers describe the foundation for a proposed approach, a tool demo paper describes the incarnation of the approach in a tool with a focus on the tool's architecture and implementation, the intended usage scenarios, and its evaluation with respect to these scenarios Accepted papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings. REVIEW CRITERIA Each Tool Demo submission will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee. The evaluation criteria include: 1. Relevance of the proposed tool to the ICSME community 2. Clear motivation behind the tool including typical usage scenarios 3. The novelty of the proposed tool and/or its architecture 4. Technical soundness of the tool 5. Intrinsic/extrinsic evaluation of the tool 6. Consideration of the relevant literature 7. Presentation quality and originality of the paper and its accompanying video SUBMISSION Submissions for the Tool Demo track must satisfy the following criteria: 1. Describe a tool, according to the above guidelines, that is within scope of the conference's software maintenance and evolution topics. Please refer to the CFP (https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/ResearchTrackCFP.html) of the conference's Research Track for examples. 2. Adhere to the ICSME 2018 formatting instructions ( https://icsme2018.github.io/cfp/formatting-instructions.html). 3.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: ApPLIED workshop held in conjunction with ACM PODC 2018

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: ApPLIED workshop held in conjunction with ACM PODC 2018 Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:01:23 +0300 From: George Angelos Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: SIGSAND-L(a)CLIFFY.UCS.MUN.CA, SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE(a)acm.org, confs-submit(a)hri.org, hellas(a)lists.psu.edu, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** ApPLIED: Advanced tools, programming languages, and PLatforms for Implementing and Evaluating algorithms for Distributed systems Workshop held in conjunction with PODC 2018 July 27th, 2018, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK https://tinyurl.com/ApPLIED2018 SCOPE Designers of advanced systems wishing to implement and evaluate distributed algorithms in practical settings are often faced with challenging questions regarding the transformation from design to a working prototype. For example, what language should they use? What communication library or tool should use to enable the communication between processes? Over which platform the algorithm should be implemented and evaluated? What tradeoffs must be taken into consideration, i.e., choose a low-cost (or free) publically available setting with moderate maintenance or an expensive, developer- friendly one? Context is also very important. Some design assumptions might not be feasible nor affordable to be implemented in practice, or certain considerations might be irrelevant. In other words, some important issues in theory, might not be important in practice whereas some practical obstacles deserve more attention and analysis. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together designers and practitioners of distributed systems from both academia and industry to share their point of views and experiences. We solicit submissions describing research results and/or position papers relevant to the topic of interest to ApPLIED. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The process of designing an algorithm to developing a prototype implementation suitable for running on working systems. * Success stories in which the evaluation of (perhaps known) distributed algorithms resulted in further (analytical) insights. * Position papers that consider new directions, opinions and learned lessons. WORKSHOP SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATIONS Two formats will be considered: * A regular paper submission must report on original research that has not been previously or concurrently published; concurrent submissions to journals or conferences are not permitted. A regular submission must not exceed 6 pages excluding cover page and references. Additional necessary details may be included in an appendix which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. However, the paper must be self-contained without the appendices. Regular papers will have 30 minutes for an oral presentation at the workshop. * Short research statements aim at fostering discussion and collaboration. Research statements may summarize research published elsewhere or outline new emerging ideas. These submissions must not exceed 3 pages excluding cover page and references. The material in these short research statements may be published in other conferences. Short research statements will have 15 minutes for an oral presentation at the workshop. Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected without consideration. The authors are responsible to have at least one of the authors registered to the workshop and presenting their work. PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=applied2018 Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the workshop web page. Submission must be in English, in pdf format, and in ACM proceedings style (ACM SIG). Each paper must begin with a cover page containing: (1) title, (2) author names and affiliations, (3) contact author's email, (4) abstract, and (5) indication of whether the paper should be considered as an article of original research, or short research statement. PUBLICATION The final version of the accepted papers will appear on the workshop's website and ACM digital library. These papers will be available to the participants in electronic format during the workshop. DATES * Full Papers Submission: May 13, 2018. * Acceptance Notification: June 4, 2018. * Camera Ready version: June 8, 2018.
