Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Proposals – QCA Workshop, AMCIS 2018
by Gustaf Neumann 29 May '18

29 May '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Proposals – QCA Workshop, AMCIS 2018 Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 13:34:16 -0400 From: YoungKi Park <ykpark8(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Call for Proposals – QCA Workshop, AMCIS 2018 * Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), , USA *Workshop Title: Set-Theoretic Methods: Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for IS Research * *Time: August 16, 2018, 8:30AM – 12:00PM* *Place: (Hyatt Regency New Orleans)* Organizers: YoungKi Park (George Washington University), James S. Denford (Royal Military College of Canada) We are pleased to offer the second QCA workshop, titled as “Set-Theoretic Methods: Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for IS Research”. The workshop is aimed at benefiting a variety of scholars ranging from those who have no previous exposure to QCA to those who have experience to share with other IS scholars. Register at: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ *No charge for registration for this workshop. * *Workshop Description * Information and digital technologies have become tightly interconnected with organizational and environmental elements. This ‘fusion’ has created a complex system that often exhibits nonlinear, discontinuous change such that a small adjustment in IT systems can trigger drastic changes in other elements, and eventually the whole socio-technical system can change radically and possibly shift to new equilibriums. In such complex dynamics, the role of IT can be better understood as an element of the whole system rather than as a separate independent variable. Notwithstanding such an increasing need for a holistic systemic perspective, there is still a paucity of IS research that investigates how information and digital technologies effectively work together with organizational and environmental elements to produce the expected outcomes either at the individual, group, organization, or ecosystem level. Recently, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), a set-theoretic method to build a configurational theory, is drawing increasing attention of researchers to its capability to investigate the complex phenomena. QCA developed by Charles Ragin (1987) integrates the strengths of both case-oriented qualitative methods and variable-oriented quantitative methods, and can be applicable for small, medium, or large data. This workshop will foster discussion about how QCA can help IS researchers build novel, richer theories. The workshop will be divided into two parts: a set of short introductory seminars and a paper development workshop. The speakers for the seminars all have direct experience with set theoretic methods. Dr. Park and Dr. Denford have been using QCA extensively in their research for several years, and presented papers at premier conferences such as ICIS, AoM, AMCIS, ASAC, and HICSS and publications appeared at journals such as ISR, JMIS, JAIS, JSIS, and RSO. They also have been exposed themselves to new advancement in the methods by co-authoring papers with leading scholars for this method such as Peer Fiss (USC) at the strategic management discipline and also attending seminars specialized for QCA. The overall structure of the workshop is as follows: *Part 1 (8:30AM – 10:30PM): A set of short introductory seminars * • An Introduction to Set Theoretic Methods: by YoungKi Park and James S Denford • Introduction of Crisp Set QCA: by James S. Denford • Introduction of Fuzzy Set QCA: by YoungKi Park • Boolean Theory Testing with QCA: by James S. Denford • Topics for QCA –When and How to Use: by YoungKi Park *Part 2 (10:30PM – 12:00 PM): Roundtable discussions of submitted proposals (proposal submission required)* The second session of the workshop is about paper development. We encourage scholars to submit their work for discussion in a collaborative and constructive setting. Scholars with QCA expertise will help the researchers who do not have QCA expertise to apply it for their working papers. Further, IS scholars who have been using QCA for their research will also be invited to discuss and develop further their working papers. To attend part 2, we request you to submit a proposal for review by at least *July 30*. If you need to know acceptance decision before the date due to some reasons like travel schedule, you can request us to send acceptance notice. We can review submitted proposals before the due date in such cases. *Submission Guidelines: * We recommend that your proposal may not exceed three single-spaced pages (excluding references). You may also add additional pages of figures, tables, graphs, etc. Specifically, please include the following: (1) Research topic and conceptual framework; (2) Key research questions; (3) Short description of data and methods (if applicable); (4) Key findings (if applicable); (5) Challenges (the area on which you would like to focus discussion); (6) Three keywords that describe your proposal; and (7) Faculty + rank or Ph.D. student + year in program. Please send proposals via email to YoungKi Park (ykpark(a)gwu.edu) and James S. Denford (Jim.Denford(a)rmc.ca) by *July 30, 2018. *Also, feel free to have any questions via emails. *Some e**xample **t**opics but not limited to: * - Empirical studies that applies set-theoretic QCA methods - IS theory building and/or testing with QCA - Methodological comparison of QCA with traditional methods - Benefits of using QCA in the IS research areas - Limitations and challenges of set-theoretic QCA methods in applying to IS research - Small, medium, and large N case QCA studies - QCA studies for multiple levels – individual, team/group, organization, industry, country, population, field - Investigating the holistic aspects of complex systems with QCA - Building novel, richer IS theories with QCA - Revealing new aspects of extant IS theories with QCA - IT impact on organizational performance – synergetic, complementary, substituting effects - Multifaceted, inconsistent roles of digital technologies such as enabling vs. inhibiting and core vs. peripheral roles - Multiple design solutions for new IT systems depending on organizational and environmental contexts - Investigating the complex dynamics of new IT systems development, digitization with QCA - IS relationships with organizational capabilities such as dynamic capability, agility, ambidexterity, and absorptive capacity. - Design and governance aspects of IT, for example, IT governance, enterprise architecture design, IT outsourcing governance with QCA - Social network analysis with QCA - Configurational analysis for digital ecosystems, smart device ecosystems YoungKi Park George Washington University ykpark(a)gwu.edu James S.

The objective of this mini-track is to focus not only on the antecedents, development processes, consequence of numerous phenomena related to the dark side of IT use but also the potential strategies and techniques for behavioral interventions. We seek, based on this forum of discussion, to provide practitioners (e.g., IT developers, managers, psychologists, and policy makers) in a multitude of contexts with a deeper understanding of the potential consequences regarding the dark side of IT use. Further, we hope these studies help to shape guidelines for designing and implementing organizational and hedonic IT while minimizing the potential negative consequences of IT use. Submitted papers might focus on, but are not limited to, some of the following themes related to the dark side of IT use. We acknowledge that over time new dark side of IT phenomena will emerge, and we hence call and welcome topics that focus on IT-related phenomena which is harmful, that may extend this list. * IT-related addictions * Cyber loafing, * Cyber bullying * Deceptive computer-mediated communication * Disrupted work life balance * IT interruptions * IT misuse * Technostress * Impulsive use of IT * Physiological effects of IT use Submissions are welcome and encouraged from a variety of theoretical foundations (e.g., information systems, psychology, cognitive science, decision sciences, sociology, social networks, organizational behavior, neuroscience, computer science, and informatics) which might advance our knowledge of the antecedents, processes, interventions and consequences of the dark side of IT use. The track invites relevant and rigorous studies without restriction for the methodologies used, units of analyses and levels of theorization. Journal Publication Opportunities: High quality and relevant papers from this mini-track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr<https://exchange.fullerton.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=BSUYtg_IceP554A9hNhNEpmPOCj…>).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP: HICSS-52 MINI-TRACK: Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: Innovation, Deployment and Management Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 06:15:04 +0000 From: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> Reply-To: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit your work to: HICSS-52 MINI-TRACK: Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: Innovation, Deployment and Management Recent developments and the evolution of data and technologies in the business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA) space has given rise to new opportunities for individuals, organizations and society. As a result of digitization and digital transformation organizations are facing various challenges, covering the whole life cycle of BI/BA/big data applications and projects. Emerging trends such as the internet of things, machine learning and cognitive analytics encourage, but also urge companies to identify new use cases, applications and business models taking advantage of (big) data and analytics. To close the gap between potential and real benefits of BI/BA/big data more research on their deployment is needed in terms of artifacts such as methods, reference architectures, etc. as well as theoretical and conceptual underpinnings. Finally, operations and continuous enhancement of BI/BA/big data applications encompass management tasks considering strategic, economic, legal and ethical issues. Meanwhile, there is an ongoing major shift in the industry of organizations leveraging pervasive, self-service analytics. The push for self-service analytics that include a portfolio of analysis tools, algorithms and visualizations has enabled agile decision making through effective business insights. In addition, the growth in this space has led to societal implications as the social impact of big data and analytics are felt more strongly and benefits underdeveloped and underrepresented parts of the globe. The evolution and innovation experienced has created a state of excitement and flux in the BI, analytics and big data space. Starting from a rich historic advancement in decision support systems, to more recently big data, internet of things, machine learning and cognitive analytics, this space continues to present a wide variety of research questions and challenges for researchers to explore. This minitrack, now in its 29th year, is the longest running HICSS minitrack related to business intelligence, business analytics and more recently big data, that continues to rise in relevance to both academia and practice. Its main focus remains on the organizational issues of BI/BA and big data implementations, rather than the data science and IT perspectives. This particular focus, as well as its long history of research embedded in Decision Support Systems and other research predecessors of contemporary BI/A, creates a minitrack with a rich comprehensive view of organizational issues. This minitrack will accept contributions from the fields of theory building, design research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following: Innovation and Emerging Trends in Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big Data: * Data-driven business models and innovation * Data entrepreneurship * Data humanism * Datafication * Impact of the digitization and digital transformation on the information & data management in organizations * Innovative applications of big data and advanced business analytics * Internet of Things * Algorithmic decision-making * Cognitive analytics * Cloud BI/BA * Self-service BI and Analytics Business Intelligence/Business Analytics/Big Data Deployment and Applications: * Deployment of BI/BA/big data * Case studies about the successful deployment of BI/BA/big data * Data lakes and modern big data/BI/BA architectures and implementation frameworks * Collaborative BI/BA performance management and dashboards * Customer relationship management, supply chain management, and E-commerce * Geographical information systems and spatial analytics * Digital manufacturing * Social media & big data/BI/BA * Open data and big data/BI/BA * Data visualization strategies and visual analytics Management of Business Intelligence/Business Analytics/Big Data * Big data/BI/BA strategy, governance, and maturity models * Business value and big data/BI/BA success * Business challenges of big data * Big data ethics and morality * Societal impact of big data/BI/BA * Security and privacy issues * Big data/BI/BA challenges in NFP organizations Minitrack Chairs: Olivera Marjanovic (Primary Chair), University of Technology Sydney, Australia: olivera.marjanovic(a)uts.edu.au <mailto:olivera.marjanovic@uts.edu.au> Barbara Dinter, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany: barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de <mailto:barbara.dinter@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> Thilini Ariyachandra, Xavier University, USA: ariyachandrat(a)xavier.edu <mailto:ariyachandrat@xavier.edu> IMPORTANT DATES FOR PAPER SUBMISSION June 15, 2018 | 11:59 pm HST: Paper Submission Deadline August 17, 2018: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2018: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2018: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for HICSS-52 --- Prof. Dr. Barbara Dinter Chemnitz University of Technology Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Business Information Systems Group Thueringer Weg 7, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany _Barbara.Dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de_ <mailto:Barbara.Dinter@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> _http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/wirtschaft/wi1_ -- 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] Extended CfP - BPI 2018 (9-10 Sep, 2018, Sydney) Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 12:01:43 +0000 From: Jan Claes <Jan.Claes(a)UGent.be> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (Sorry for cross-postings) (Extended deadline! 8 June, 2018) Call for Papers 14th International Workshop on Business Process Intelligence (BPI 18) to be held in conjunction with BPM 2018 Sydney, Australia September 9-10, 2018 http://www.win.tue.nl/bpi/2018 CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Business Process Intelligence is an area that spans process mining (i.e., process discovery, conformance checking, etc.), predictive analytics and many other techniques that are all gaining interest and importance in industry and research. BPI refers to the application of various measurement and analysis techniques in the area of business process management. In practice, BPI is embodied in tools for managing process execution quality by offering several features such as analysis, prediction, monitoring, control, and optimization. The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding and a more appropriate support of company processes at design time and the way they are handled at runtime, focussing on processes in isolation as well as the interplay between many parallel processes both within and between companies. We aim to bring together practitioners and researchers from different communities such as business process management, information systems research, business administration, software engineering, artificial intelligence, process mining, and data mining, who share an interest in the analysis of business processes and process-aware information systems. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences. The workshop is sponsored by the DeLiBiDa project (Desire Lines in Big Data), which is a project of NWO (i.e., the Dutch Science Foundation), aimed at scaling up process mining to handle huge event logs in a big data context (i.e., high volume, velocity, variety, etc.). The list of topics that are relevant to the BPI workshop includes the following, but is not limited to: Analysis techniques at design time and/or runtime: - Mining of business processes from event logs - Mining of non-process aware systems / event streams - Multi perspective process mining - Statistical analysis in the business process management lifecycle - Predictive analytics - Recommender systems - Conformance / compliance analysis - Root cause analysis for process deviations - Business process visualization - Visualization of process mining results - Machine-learning and business processes - Measurement of business process models and business process modeling - Information retrieval related to business process management - Similarity related to processes and cases - Integration of processes and process models - Mathematical optimization of business processes - Simulation of business processes Applications of such analysis techniques and case studies in: - Performance Measurement of business processes - Business Process Reengineering - Business Process Quality - Emergent workflows - Process discovery - Conformance and risk management for business processes - Operations Management and Six Sigma - Data warehousing - Static and dynamic optimization - Self-management - Monitoring of business processes - Resource Allocation in business processes - Prediction - Dynamic composition of business processes Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. In parallel with the workshop, there is a BPI challenge, sponsored by Minit and Celonis, which provides an opportunity to analyze a real-world event log and to win the flight to Sydney! For more information, please refer to the website (http://www.win.tue.nl/bpi/2018). Submission guide ================ The length of a paper must not exceed 12 pages, and there is no possibility to buy additional pages. Authors are requested to prepare submissions according to the LNCS/LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0) specified by Springer. Papers should be submitted electronically through Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpi2018). Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. Important Dates =============== Abstract submission deadline: (18 May 2018) => 8 June 2018 Paper submission deadline: (25 May 2018) => 8 June 2018 Notification of acceptance: 26 June 2018 Camera ready: 13 July 2018 Workshop day: 9-10 September 2018 Organizers ========== - Boudewijn van Dongen, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands (corresponding organizer) - Jan Claes, Ghent University, Belgium - Jochen De Weerdt, KU Leuven, Belgium - Andrea Burattin, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark The workshop is co-organized by the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining.
