-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 1st CfP HICSS-52 Minitrack SOCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 11:21:23 +0000 From: Keller, Barbara <barbara.keller(a)hm.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********** CALL FOR PAPERS ********** SOCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS MINITRACK Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) Conference Date: January 8-11, 2019, Grand Wailea, Maui Track: Digital and Social Media http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-52/digital-and-social-media/ ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2018 ********** After the World-Wide Web and e-commerce, the evolution of social software is often referred to as the third generation of the Internet. Various forms of social information systems have emerged since with online communities, collaborative technologies, blogs, wikis and sites for crowdsourcing being among the well-known. It may be observed that Social information systems have profound implications on the way individuals communicate, be it in private or professional interactions, and the way economic processes are organized. For example, the so-called "Gig-economy" posits that crowdsourcing platforms have the power to change hierarchical coordination towards more market-like and fluid forms where individuals bring in their competencies for specific projects, I.e. "gigs". Social information systems are the new "glue" among individuals outside as well as inside organizations. From this definition, four characteristics of social information systems may be derived: weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning. Weak-ties are spontaneously established contacts between individuals that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social Production is the creation of artifacts, by combining the input from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this. Egalitarianism is the attitude of handling individuals equally. Social information systems overcome the separation of the service provider and consumer by introducing the idea, that service provisioning is a mutual process of service exchange and thus co-creation of value. The objective of the Minitrack “Social Information Systems” is to promote the scientific exchange on social information systems. The Minitrack shall explore how social information systems are designed, implemented, operated and improved. It shall also contribute to the understanding regarding the interaction with their environment and the impact on economic coordination structures. In the “Social Information Systems” Minitrack we seek papers that explore how social information systems are designed, implemented, operated and integrated. Possible topics are: - New methods for developing and understanding social information systems - Insights how communication and innovation can be fostered by social information systems - Impact of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning - Businesses processes enabled by social information systems - Link of social business processes and other business processes - Modeling of social processes for social information systems - New technologies and architectures for social information systems - Data creation and analytics within social information systems For further conference details, schedules and submission guidelines, please see: http://www.hicss.org ********** MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS ********** Rainer Schmidt (Primary Contact) Munich University of Applied Sciences Rainer.Schmidt(a)hm.edu Rainer Alt Leipzig University rainer.alt(a)xn--unileipzig-st6e.de Selmin Nurcan University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne nurcan(a)xn--univparis1-tt6e.fr

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 1st CfP HICSS-52 Minitrack Information Systems Benefits and Value Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 11:47:29 +0000 From: Samuli Pekkola <samuli.pekkola(a)tut.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********** CALL FOR PAPERS ********** Information Systems Benefits and Value - minitrack Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) Conference Date: January 8-11, 2019, Grand Wailea, Maui Track: Organizational systems and technologies http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-52/organizational-systems-and-technology/ ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2018 ********** This minitrack focuses on information systems benefits, benefit realization, their success and related challenges, methods, processes, and practices, and ultimately, the value of IS. Papers with broad range of topics and approaches are welcomed. We invite papers presenting theoretical models, empirical results, or practical experiences, so that the construction of a converging and comprehensive view can be initiated. Organizational information systems are often asked to create value for the organization and/or its users. This question is usually posed before the systems are acquired, i.e. at the time of the investment decision. However, quite rarely the system's value or its benefits are evaluated after the system is in-use. The concept of value is consequently seen important proactively, but ignored when it could actually be assessed. There could be several explanations for this. For example the concept of value could be unclear as it contains several scopes, interpretations, stakeholders, and timescales. On the other hand, when assessing the value, quite often information technologies are segregated from their use context as this makes the evaluation easier. Thirdly, the assessment could be ignored simply because the system is already in use, and bad outcome could endanger one's position. Fourthly, the value of IS could be concretized only after a long time. These are just some example of difficulties in assessing IS benefits and value. Models and methods for understanding IS success, benefits, or value, benefits realization of IT investments, realizing the benefits of information systems in general, proactively measuring them before renewal, or retrospectively analyzing them at the project have largely remained untouched. It is surprising that despite the number of problematic IS projects, IS value and benefits realization are still little understood in the information systems researcher community. For example, such questions as how to proactively setting measurable objectives for IS benefits, how to choose an appropriate acquisition strategy and method for maximum benefits, how to define what value means in a certain domain and context, and how to measure and analyze the value and benefits of IS investments after the project, have been left largely intact - even though these are significant issues for practitioners and economy. For example famous IS success model (Delone & MacLean 2003; Petter et al. 2008) identifies the benefit realization model, although theorizes the phenomena on an abstract level. Thus, although benefits realization has been identified as the most important issue to be considered by IS procurement professionals in the public sector (Moe & Päivärinta 2013), the value, success and benefits of IS investments remain rather abstract in practice. Although the literature documents several methods and techniques for value assessment, benefits justification, management and realization, they have not reached wide utilization in practice. The situation is, up to large extent, identical in private sector as, for instance, business cases are difficult to write and different IS initiations are difficult to compare. This sets a starting point for this minitrack. We invite papers focusing on theoretical models, empirical results, or practical experiences on different aspects of value in IS context, IS benefits, benefit realization or IS success in the private or the public sector. Topics covered, but not limited to: · Value concept · Value or benefits realization processes and methods · Value and benefits realization as a part of IS development practice or methods · IS procurement issues, challenges, or solutions for maximum benefits · Theoretical models and frameworks for (understanding) IS value, benefits and benefits realization · Stakeholders involved in value realization · Case studies · Business-IT alignment and its relation to IS value · Utility of applying formal value assessment, benefits realization, or procurement practices For further conference details, schedules and submission guidelines, please see: http://www.hicss.org ********** MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS ********** Samuli Pekkola (primary contact) Tampere University of Technology, Finland samuli.pekkola(a)tut.fi Tero Päivärinta Luleå University of Technology.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS-52 Digital Government Theory: Development, Integration, and Application (Minitrack) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 15:44:06 -0700 From: Hans Jochen Scholl <jscholl(a)uw.edu> To: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 52nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52) January 8-11, 2019——Grand Wailea Hotel, Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, USA Submission Deadline (June 15, 2018) Call for Papers Digital Government Theory: Development, Integration, and Application (Minitrack) In fields of study that intersect with Digital Government, such as Administrative Sciences and Management Information Systems, the role of theory has been discussed for at least a couple of decades if not longer. While some have asserted that "Theory is King" (Straub, 2009) others call this the "theory fetish" (Avison & Malaurent, 2014), or even hold that the ‘blanket insistence on theory, or the requirement of an articulation of theory in everything we write, actually retards our ability to achieve our end: understanding.’ (Hambrick, 2007, p. 1346). We intend to further this discussion and extend it into, or rather reanimate it, in the domain of Digital Government. Digital Government, formerly also referred to as electronic government, has evolved tremendously over the last few decades. The Digital Government Reference Library contains more than 10,500 peer-reviewed publications. This multi-disciplinary study domain benefits from researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, including but not limited to public administration, information systems, information science, and political science. As the domain matures, it is useful for scholars and other stakeholders to examine the state of the body of knowledge. To this end, several key questions emerge. Given the applied nature of Digital Government, what is the role of theory? What are the fundamental theoretical contributions to or from Digital Government discipline, if any? What is the appropriate balance of theory and practice in this domain of study? What are the reference disciplines for Digital Government, if any? Does Digital Government have, or shall Digital Government have, a "home" (anchor) discipline? Is Digital Government (can, or shall, it evolve into) its own discipline? What relevance does the Digital Government body of knowledge have to practice? The purpose of this mini-track is to explore the role of theory development in this applied discipline. We hope to receive submissions from scholars with diverse views on the current status of the domain and the role of theory development in it. We welcome submissions on varied topics, such as (but not limited to): — Digital Government Theory Development — The Role of Theory Development and Theory Integration in Digital Government — Fundamental Digital Government Theories — The Status of the Digital Government Domain (discipline, or not?) — The Future of Digital Government Research — Digital Government Research Methodologies — Digital Government Reference Disciplines, if any — Multi-disciplinary studies in Digital Government — Inter-disciplinary studies in Digital Government Minitrack papers should be submitted online via the HICSS submission system by June 15, 2018. The accepted papers will be used to drive the discussion at a pre-conference workshop that explores e-government theory development and its relationship to applied research in the field. We will recruit workshop participants with diverse views on the role of theory development in e-government to promote critical discussion of the current status and future trajectory of the discipline.

On the one hand, social media can help to share useful information that might help to overcome the crisis. However, examples also show that terrorists use social media to recruit new members and disseminate ideologies, and social bots influence economic and political processes. Therefore, researchers need to investigate how to better exploit the potentials of social media during conflicts and crises. At the same time academics need to develop countermeasures, such as fake news detection and counter narratives. The aim of this special issue is to showcase current research on social media in conflicts and crises. This includes the investigation of the dynamics of participation and interaction enabled by social media, which includes both good sides (participation, volunteerism) but also bad sides (fake news, rumours, suppression, political persecution). We invite papers that provide rich description and/or evaluation of the design and/or actual use of social media for collaboration and/or widespread participation in any phase of a conflict or crisis. Papers may be conceptual, theoretical and/or empirical in nature, with a preference for empirical-based theoretical work. /Sample Topics:/ - Studies of the use of social media in conflicts and crises including aspects like rumours, fake news, manipulation, cyber deception, information warfare - Innovations in design or use of social media that solve potential problems such as issues of information overload, assessment of information trustworthiness, or ethical issues such as privacy. - Issues and techniques for mining and near-real-time processing of social media data to enable early decision-making or detection of misinformation. - Innovative human-computer interaction techniques and methodologies relevant to the design, analysis, and evaluation of applications useful for social media in conflicts and crises. -- Prof. Dr. Christian Reuter, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Science and Technology for Peace and Security (PEASEC), www.peasec.de <http://www.peasec.de/> -- 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: [AISWorld] CfP: Knowing What We Know: Theory, Meta-analysis and Review -- HICSS-52 Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 00:56:03 +0000 From: Dirk Hovorka <dirk.hovorka(a)sydney.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: HICSS-52 in beautiful Maui, HI! Minitrack: Knowing What We Know: Theory, Meta-analysis and Review (Organizational Systems and Technology track) 8-11 January, 2019 Grand Wailea Maui http://hicss.hawaii.edu<http://hicss.hawaii.edu/> Minitrack Chairs: Dirk Hovorka and Kai Larsen The "Knowing What We Know: Theory and Review" mini-track invites submissions that pursue approaches, methods and conceptual papers which will advance the IS field ability to "know what it knows". Our ability to understand, integrate and synthesize the exponentially growing body of scientific literature in the social sciences is hampered by both structural and social problems. These include a lack of standardization for concepts and constructs across the fields and a lack of infrastructure and powerful search and integration tools which would enable researchers to perform meta-theorization. The aim of this mini-track is to engage the disciplinary infrastructures other fields have successfully progressed (e.g. metaBUS, the Human Behavior Project, Medline and the Biological Science Database) that will enable IS to better know what we know. Research over the last decades has emphasized theory development in IS and other social and behavioral science disciplines. The resulting proliferation of theories and constructs has numerous redundancies, which can be revealed through review, meta-theorization/meta-analysis and interrogation of the theory discourse. Theory ontologies would benefit the disciplines by identifying what we can now research given what we already know. Theory synthesis or integration will inform social and behavioral sciences research with a better understanding of fundamental theories, help organize our theories to be accessible to practice, and increase our understanding of the philosophical commitments represented in their contextualization and use. The scope of the papers for the mini-track is quite broad, including for example, the development of theory ontologies, approaches to theory integration, and meta-analytic/review approaches to building cumulative theory. We also welcome approaches to the local contextualization of theory where insight is gained into valuable distinctions. Toward these ends, topics of interest in this mini-track include: 1. Approaches to theory meta-analysis, integration or aggregation of social and behavioral science theories; 2. The theoretical ties between different disciplines (e.g. healthcare and IS, and sustainability science and IS, energy informatics), or parallel the trends in theorizing the same phenomenon; 3. Research on ontologies, taxonomies, frameworks, and categorizations of constructs and variables used in system science theories; 4. Conceptual papers on an Social Science Infrastructure that would support social sciences 5. Techniques for the extraction of constructs and relationships from published papers 6. The use of natural language processing, data mining, and predictive analytics to better understand and interrogate theories; 7. Discussion of the roles of theories used to explain, approaches used to predict (e.g. neural nets and big data), and of theories of understanding; 8. Exploration of the dependencies of constructs and variables; 9. Exploration of the boundaries of theory "domains." This mini-track also has an associated ISWorld website devoted to theories used in IS research (http://istheory.byu.edu/wiki/Main_Page) - which won the 2005 AISWorldNet Challenge Award for the best website based on AISWorldNet user voting. We intend to uphold this high standard and advance the website further by increasing the synergy between mini-track outcomes and website content.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Announcing Volume 10, Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Announcing Volume 10, Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 01:00:13 +0000 From: Galletta, Dennis <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> To: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear AIS Community: In the aftermath of an eventful holiday weekend and an unexpected snowfall in the Northeast USA, we are happy to announce the first issue of the 10th volume of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI). This issue, we have two research articles, which were posted on time, just before the holiday started. THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci. To increase awareness and readership, THCI is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website (http://aisel.aisnet.org/), including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS <http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. And, as always, we are happy to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 37 issues. ============ In this issue ============ Antecedents and Consequents of Information Usefulness in User-generated Online Reviews: A Multi-group Moderation Analysis of Review Valence by Contantinos K. Coursaris, Michigan State University, USA Wietske Van Osch, Michigan State University, USA, Alice Albini, IESEG School of Management, France Abstract: Online reviews have become a critical component of consumers' Web-based search queries and help them minimize uncertainty and risk associated with purchase decisions. Not only do customers perceive online reviews to be more "real", but also online reviews enable opportunities for interactivity between consumers, which makes them a popular source of information when consumers make (online) purchase decisions. In this study, we examine the impact of online reviews on consumers' beliefs, brand attitudes, and purchase intention by theoretically extending the information adoption model (IAM) with constructs from consumer research. To do so, we used data from a scenariobased online experiment and manipulated three review characteristics (currency, accuracy, and credibility) using carefully selected TripAdvisor reviews. Using a partial-least squares approach (PLS) to structural equation model (SEM), we found strong empirical support for our hypotheses that review quality and reviewer credib ility drive information usefulness and that information usefulness, in turn, drives consumers' attitudes toward and their intention to purchase from a brand. Using PLS multi-group analysis, we further explored the moderating role of review valence-positive versus negative-and found significant differences in the importance of the drivers of information usefulness and its consequents. We discuss our study's implications for theory and practice. Real-time Prediction of User Performance based on Pupillary Assessment via Eye Tracking by Ricardo Buettner, Aalen University, Germany Sebastian Sauer, FOM University of Applied Sciences for Economics and Management, Germany Christian Maier, University of Bamberg, Germany Andreas Eckhardt, German Graduate School of Management and Law Abstract: We propose a method to predict user performance based on eye-tracking. The method uses eye-tracking-based pupillometry to capture pupil diameter data and calculates-based on a Random Forest algorithm-user performance expectations. We conducted a large-scale experimental evaluation (125 participants aged from 21 to 61 years) and found promising results that pave the way for a dynamic real-time adaption of IT to a user's mental effort and expected user performance. We have already achieved a good classification accuracy of user performance after only 40 seconds (5% of the mean total trial time that our participants took to complete our experiment). The non-invasive contact-free method can be applied cost-efficiently both in research and practical environments. ================== Call for Papers ================== THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Topics of interest to THCI include but are not limited to the following: * The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction * User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types * Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization * Social media; social computing; virtual communities * Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction * User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains * Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems * Information systems usability engineering; universal usability * The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity * Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units * Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning * Gender and information technology * The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction * Issues in HCI education The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December.
