Our objective is to bridge the communities researching and developing these techniques and systems in machine learning and data mining. Therefore, we welcome contributions that present a novel problem setting, propose a novel approach, or report experience with the practical deployment of such a system and raise unsolved questions to the research community. In particular, we welcome contributions that address aspects including, but not limited to: (*) Novel Techniques for Active, Semi-Supervised, Transfer Learning - methods for big, evolving, or streaming data, - methods for recent complex model structures such as DL neural networks - methods for interacting with imperfect or multiple oracles, e.g. learning from crowds, - methods for incorporating domain knowledge and constraints, - methods for timing the interaction and for combining different types of information, - online and ensemble methods for evolving models and systems, with specific switching and fusion techniques, and (inter-)active data integration techniques, (*) Innovative Use and Applications of Active, Semi-Supervised, Transfer Learning - for filtering, forgetting, resampling, - for active class or feature selection, e.g. from multi-modal data, - for detection of change, outliers, frauds, or attacks, - new interactive learning protocols and application scenarios, e.g., brain-computer interfaces, crowdsourcing, ... - in application in data-intensive science, - in applications with real-world deployment, (*) Techniques for Combined Interactive Adaptive Learning - methods combining adaptive, active, semi-supervised, or transfer learning techniques, - cost-aware methods and methods for estimating the impact of employing additional resources, such as data or processing capacities, on the learning progress, - methodologies for the evaluation of such techniques, and comparative studies, - methods for automating the control of an interactive adaptive learning process. We welcome submissions of *full papers* (max. 10 pages) and *extended abstracts* (up to 2 pages). Each paper will be single-blinded peer-reviewed, and upon selection be presented and discussed at the workshop. For extended abstracts, works-in-progress or industrial experiences are welcome. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered to the conference. We intend to publish the workshop proceedings within the open-access, indexed CEUR Workshop Proceedings series.

Information systems have a critical role to facilitate such processes. Indeed, information system researchers have pioneered many of the conceptual tools that this vantage point of decision making demands. This thematic view of IS will offer IS researchers to position and present their efforts not only more cohesively but also will provide a platform to focus on the impact of IS research to solve ongoing societal challenges. These include a focus on organisational resilience and sustainability encompassing risk assessment, cyber threats mitigation, the role of big data, disaster management, and environmental modelling. DESIGN AND DESIGN SCIENCE (INCLUDING HCI) TRACK The Design and Design Science (including HCI) track seeks submissions reporting on new research contributions concerning Design Science Research (DSR) as well as the Science of Design (SD), particularly in the contexts of User Experience (UX) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We seek papers that apply Design Science Research (DSR) methods (including ones that aim to improve design) as well as papers concerning issues and practices in DSR. Papers in all areas of UX and HCI that contribute to the Science of Design (SD) are also sought. Accordingly, this track welcomes submissions in all areas of DSR, UX, and HCI, as relevant to the IS discipline, including – but is not limited to – the following suggested topics: New User Experience Artefacts and Methods New Human-Computer Interface Artefacts and Methods Developing/Evaluating Design Artifacts and Design Theories in DSR, UX, and HCI DSR, UX, and HCI Methods, Techniques, and Tools Creativity, Design Thinking and Design Theory User-Centred Design, Co-Design, and Participatory Design End-User Design and Meta-Design Complexity and Socio-Technical Systems Design Ethics in DSR, UX, and HCI Evaluation in DSR, UX, and HCI Ecological considerations for DSR, UX, and HCI Critical Reflections on DSR, UX, and HCI Teaching and Learning DSR, UX, and HCI TRACK CHAIRS Pedro Antunes, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Andreas Drechsler, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand John Venable, Curtin University, Australia MORE INFORMATION http://www.acis2018.org/ -- Andreas Drechsler Senior Lecturer, School of Information Management Victoria Business School, Victoria University of Wellington Room 402, Rutherford House 23 Lambton Quay, Pipitea Campus PO Box 600, Wellington 6140, New Zealand Phone: +64 4 463-5265 andreas.drechsler(a)vuw.ac.nz -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Distributed Ledger Technology). Blockchains consist of dynamic shared ledgers that can be applied to save time when recording transactions between parties, remove costs associated with intermediaries or, according to Nakamoto (2008), remove the need for intermediaries altogether, while enabling the introduction of pseudonymous parties on the Internet. It has taken businesses and industries some time to recognize that the underlying technology of Bitcoin might be the next big thing to disrupt their current business model. All too often, the focus of the media coverage is on the connection of cyber-currencies to criminal activities or on the highly speculative nature of their exchange rates and issues with coin exchanges. In this Call for Paper, we are looking to qualify this disruptive potential, as we recognize that Blockchain technology has much broader and deeper applications beyond cybercurrencies. We take a broad and neutral view on the technology and consider it a facilitator for new coordination mechanisms for networked businesses. The coordination of inter-organizational transactions traditionally requires a significant amount of redundancy, with all organizations trying to keep track of the current status of the transaction by communicating intensively and continuously updating each of their respective systems. Blockchains provide for unequivocal and undisputable records of what has occurred, providing a single and accessible “truth” to all stakeholders involved. And with the emergence of “smart contracts”, the actual execution of parts of the transaction might be automated as well, reducing or even eliminating the need for back-office operations. The transparency of the system and the assurance that all participants will play by the rules takes the “markets versus hierarchies” discussion to the next level, when electronic markets can be created that are not governed by a single entity, but rather by the community they serve and that might exist only in the virtual space – implemented as “Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), where “the code /is/ the entire company” (Diedrich, 2016). This might very well lead to completely different roles for current players, if not extinction. Blockchain might thus facilitate and contribute to other disruptive innovations, such as the sharing economy, the circular economy as well as smart grids that help businesses and private households to become independent in their energy provisioning. The challenge for scientists now is to distinguish between the hype and the core value of this phenomenon, to reason about the business potential including the potential to disrupt trusted business models, but also to address some of the deeper technical foundations such as scalability, accountability and security. We are looking to broaden the understanding in order to help organizations and societies in reaping the benefits while safeguarding against inherent risks associated with the technology. *Central issues and themes* Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: *Effects of Blockchain on networked business models *Characteristics of business models that will be most disrupted by Blockchain *Visions on the (r)evolution of “trust” and “trusted third parties” in a Blockchain world *Case studies on which assets and capabilities Blockchain enabled organizations should have *Case studies on how Blockchain technology can be integrated in existing inter- and intra-organizational IT architectures *Approaches to address governance conflicts arising from the technology being utilized in highly regulated environments such as banking or healthcare (especially in case of DAOs) *Empirical tests on the resolution of technical issues, such as scalability and security *Ramifications of having anonymous or pseudonymous actors in transactions, especially in a cross-border setting *The role of regulatory bodies in keeping control on the one hand (anti-money laundry, anti-terrorist financing etc.) and having systems that “run on their own” on the other.

Fwd: [WI] Call for Papers: MULTI 2018: 5th International Workshop on Multi-Level Modelling
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Jun '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers: MULTI 2018: 5th International Workshop on Multi-Level Modelling Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 07:22:33 +0000 From: Adrian Rutle <Adrian.Rutle(a)hvl.no> Reply-To: Adrian Rutle <Adrian.Rutle(a)hvl.no> To: Adrian Rutle <Adrian.Rutle(a)hvl.no> Apologies for cross-posting! *MULTI 2018: 5th International Workshop on Multi-Level Modelling* Co-located with MODELS, at IT University of Copenhagen Copenhagen, Denmark, October 16, 2018 *Conference website*https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MULTI2018/ *Submission link*https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=multi2018 *Submission deadline* July 17, 2018 *Introduction* Multilevel modelling is an emerging new modelling paradigm that offers exciting new perspectives not only for conceptual modelling, but also for the development of software systems that are integrated with models of themselves. Multilevel DSMLs allow for combining the benefits of economies of scale with the productivity enabled by concepts that were designed for very specific domains. Multilevel modelling has now been used successfully in a wide range of projects. The MULTI workshop series is the premier event for researchers and practitioners who work in the field of multilevel languages and tools or are interested in applying multilevel technologies. It is aimed at providing a platform for exchanging ideas and promoting the further development of multilevel languages, methods and tools. In particular, the goal is to encourage the community to delineate different approaches to multilevel modelling and define objective ways to evaluate their respective strengths/weaknesses. To address this objective, MULTI 2018 features a specific multilevel modelling challenge. A growing community of researchers is excited about the prospects offered by multilevel modelling. However, there is still no clear consensus on what this new paradigm actually entails and how it should be applied. For example, there are different views on whether it is sound to combine instance facets and type facets into so-called clabjects, whether strict metamodeling is too restrictive, and what tool architectures provide the best framework for modelling with multiple classification levels. This lack of a foundational consensus is mirrored by the lack of a common focus in current multilevel tools. The goal of MULTI 2018 is to address these challenges and continue the community building established in the previous workshops. In particular, the goal is to encourage the community to delineate different approaches to multi-level modelling and define objective ways to evaluate their respective strengths/weaknesses. One key way of addressing this goal is to identify standard/canonical examples specially designed to exercise the abilities of multilevel modelling approaches. We encourage submissions on new concepts, implementation approaches and formalisms as well as submissions on controversial positions, requirements for evaluation criteria or case-study scenarios. Contributions in the area of tool building, multilevel modelling applications, canonical examples and educational material are equally welcome. *Invited Speaker* -Manuel Wimmer *Submission Guidelines* All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Three kinds of papers are solicited: regular papers (max. 10 pages), challenge papers (max. 10 pages), and position papers (max. 5 pages), in LNCS format. Papers should be submitted via Easychair. Accepted papers will be published as CEUR workshop proceedings and indexed in DBLP. Authors submit their papers as PDF files to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=multi2018. The workshop provides a platform for tool demonstrations, too. Please contact Tony Clark to determine the scope and structure of a demo. To promote the exchange between different schools of multilevel modelling and to contribute to a consolidation of the field, this year’s MULTI will host a specific modelling challenge (*The Bicycle Challenge* https://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MULTI2018/#challenge). Challenge participants are asked to develop a multilevel model, or multilevel DSMLs respectively, to represent a domain that is provided in a natural language description. The solutions should account for certain requirements and are expected to be submitted in a given structure. *List of Topics* -the exact nature and semantics of elements in a multilevel hierarchy and how best to represent them -the importance and role of potency and its variants such a durability and mutability -transitioning from traditional modelling approaches/tools to multi-level approaches -engineering domain-specific languages and complete tool support -methods for designing multilevel models -formal approaches to multilevel modelling -experiences and challenges in providing tool support for multilevel modelling -experiences and challenges in applying multilevel modelling techniques to large and/or real world problems -model management languages (transformation, code generation etc.) in a multi-level setting -comparisons of multilevel and two-level solutions for modelling problems -criteria for comparing multilevel modelling approaches and evaluating their usability -canonical multi-level modelling examples and challenges -distinct and multiple viewpoints on multilevel models -methods for developing multilevel systems and languages -the management of changes in multilevel models -innovative systems architectures enabled by multilevel languages -multilevel modelling versus knowledge engineering and ontologies *Important dates* Paper submission 17th July Notification 17th August Camera-ready 21st August Workshop day 16th October *Committees* Program Committee -Alessandro Rossini (EVRY AS, Norway) -Alexander Egyed (Johannes Kepler University, Austria) -Bernd Neumayr (Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria) -Cesar Gonzalez Perez (Spanish National Research Council, Spain) -Collin Atkinson (University of Manheim, Gernamy) -Dirk Draheim (Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia) -Georg Grossmann (University of South Australia, Australia) -Georg Hinkel (Karlsruhe Univeristy, Germany) -Hans-Georg Fill (University of Vienna, Austria) -Joao-Paulo Almeida (Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil) -Juan de Lara (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) -Manfred Jeusfeld (University of Skövde, Sweden) -Manuel Wimmer (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) -Markus Stumptner (University of South Australia, Australia) -Martin Gogolla (University of Bremen, Germany) -Michael Schrefl (Johannes Kepler University, Austria) -Monika Kaczmarek-Heß (University of Duisburg-Essen) -Stefan Jablonski (Bayreuth University, Germany) -Tony Clark (Sheffield Hallam University, UK) -Ulrich Frank (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) -Wolfgang Pree (University of Salzburg, Austria) -Yngve Lamo (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway) Organizing committee -Tony Clark -Bernd Neumayr -Adrian Rutle *Contact* All questions about submissions should be emailed to adrian (dot) rutle (at) hvl (dot) no -- 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] AMCIS 2018 - Location Analyitics - 2 Pre-Conference Events: Workshop and Tutorial Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 22:12:49 -0400 From: Daniel Farkas <dfarkas(a)pace.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Colleagues, Join SIGGIS for two exciting pre-conference events. At this year's AMCIS conference in New Orleans (Thursday, August 16), we will have a workshop and tutorial running concurrently: *Workshop: Digital Disruption: A Workshop on the Implications for the Geospatial Realm* *This workshop will serve as a research forum on the varied aspects of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the emergence of the “Geospatial Realm”. As the understanding that geospatial, or locational, data has value for many organizations, the focus on this special type of data has also increased. Workshop activities will be facilitated focusing on this research area to discuss the “who, what, where, when, how, and why” of participating in this burgeoning research domain. (Contact: Dan Farkas - dfarkas(a)pace.edu <dfarkas(a)pace.edu>)* *Tutorial: Social Media Operationalized for Locational Analytics: A Hands-on Tutorial* *Social media such as Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook, have become de facto global communication channels to disseminate news, entertainment, and one’s self-revelations. However, though these organizations provide real-time data feeds that may be utilized in many ways, how does one actually go about using these data? This workshop will provide hands-on instruction regarding the collection, processing, and analysis of these data using Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, Topic Modeling Techniques, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). (Contact: Brian Hilton - brian.hilton(a)cgu.edu <brian.hilton(a)cgu.edu>)* Details and Agendas will follow as we get closer to the conference. -- Dan Farkas, PhD Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems Pace University Pleasantville, NY, 10570 USA http://www.pace.edu/seidenberg/ Chair, AIS Special Interest Group on Geographic Information Systems (SIGGIS) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Agile, project management, and IS development: ACIS 2018 Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 10:55:09 +1200 From: Diane Strode <d.strode(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Apologies for cross-posting CALL FOR PAPERS For those with research interests in agile, project management, and IS development, please consider submitting to our track at ACIS 2018 (the 29th Australasian Conference on Information Systems) in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Conference details are as follows: Conference 3rd - 5th December 2018 https://www.acis2018.org/ Submissions due by: 30 July 2018 Track: Agile, Project Management and IS Development Conference track URL: http://www.acis2018.org/tracks/agile-project-management-and-is-development-… Information systems development (ISD) underpins the information systems discipline although traditional IS research often treats ISD as a black box. Papers in this track open the black box by focusing on current and emerging approaches to ISD and IT project management such as agile and adaptive development. We seek papers addressing the philosophical underpinnings of ISD and IT project management, conceptual and empirical research developing or testing theory, and research clarifying emergent practice and the challenges and opportunities in this research domain. ISD and the management of IT projects is a broad concern encompassing great diversity in approaches to analysing, designing, developing, and managing projects. Projects are a complex mix of people, processes, organisational cultures and structures, and advanced and emerging technologies. A diversity of approaches are needed to handle the new types of systems under development such as data analytics, mobile apps, and the Internet of Things. Novel development approaches are necessary to cope with large-scale development, mission-critical contexts, and distributed and virtual development, systems of massive complexity, and systems that must remain flexible throughout their lifecycle. In addition, the choice of development approach can influence the structure or culture of organisations, for example, the agile and lean philosophies have led to new structures such as DevOps and Squads. Research in any of these areas has the potential to make significant contributions to research and improve the practice of ISD and IT project management. This track seeks quality research papers using rigorous research methods that investigate current and emerging aspects of ISD, agile and adaptive systems development and IT project management. Possible topics of interest include but are not restricted to, the following. - Theoretical and philosophical aspects of emergent IS development approaches - Agile and adaptive IT project management versus traditional IT project management - Agile software development – coordination, control, and limitations - Agile software development – teams, teamwork, and performance - Alternative approaches to ISD - Distributed ISD – mechanisms, strategies, challenges, and opportunities - DevOps and Continuous Development Practices (e.g. continuous delivery and continuous deployment) - Emergent issues in managing ISD - Industry-specific ISD - Innovative management of IT projects - ISD and digital services, big data, and analytics - ISD for sustainable development - IT project portfolio management in emergent IS contexts - Research methods, tools, and techniques for studying ISD - Role of ISD in organisational transformation - Stakeholders and stakeholder management in ISD - Success and failure in ISD and/or IT Project Management *Track chairs* Dr Diane Strode; Whitireia Polytechnic, New Zealand diane.strode(a)whitireia.ac.nz Dr Mali Senapathi; Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand mali.senapathi(a)aut.ac.nz Dr Geetha Kanaparan; Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation, Malaysia kgeetha(a)apu.edu.my *Note: There are opportunities for papers to be published under a special section in a high-quality journal which is currently under negotiation.* _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
