-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] REMINDER: Call for Papers: Special issue of Electronic Commerce Research Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 14:43:13 +0000 From: Jason Cohen <Jason.Cohen(a)wits.ac.za> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Call for Papers: Special Issue of Electronic Commerce Research Cross-border e-Commerce Initiatives under China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Topic: China has experienced significant economic growth since 1990, and since 2006, very aggressive growth in Internet based services and retailing. To capitalize on its leads in manufacturing and Internet services, the country launched the "Internet +" Plan in 2015 to apply internet and other information technologies to conventional industries, creating new value spaces and composite technologies needed for China's further advancement in the 21st century. China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) launched in 2016 augments this push into new technologies with the funding of regional infrastructure to deliver benefits to countries and customers beyond the immediate borders of China. The coverage area of the initiative is primarily Asia and Europe, encompassing around 60 countries, with future extensions into Oceania and East Africa. The anticipated cumulative future investment has been estimated at around 50 trillion RMB (~US$8 trillion); estimates from the Ministry of Commerce and iResearch suggest total turnover will hit 12 trillion yuan (about 1.74 trillion U.S. dollars) by 2020. Cross-border e-Commerce under BRI shares some similarities with existing marketing and logistic channels; but in other ways it will be substantially different. Internet based systems are highly scalable - substantially more than traditional channels - and allow for economical, flexible wired and wireless infrastructure to augment roads and rail transit. But cross-border e-Commerce also complicate business processes; expose firms to higher business risk and uncertainty; lower the barriers to market entry; and create cybersecurity risks. Our special issue seeks the submission of high-quality papers on topics addressing the many substantial challenges of cross-border e-commerce. We have listed a number of potential research topics; submissions though are not limited to this list, and we invite high quality, innovative and novel investigations of any cross-border e-Commerce issues relevant to Internet+ and BRI. Editors. This special issue will be co-edited by: * Rong Du, Xidian University * Jason Cohen, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg * Jian Mou (jian.mou(a)xidian.edu.cn), Xidian University * Lei Sun, Xidian University * Jin Li, Xidian University Topics. The special issue will be devoted to the exploration of strategic, managerial, organizational, technical, security, privacy and policy challenges with regard to information services under e-commerce. We seek high-quality, unpublished contributions addressing electronic commerce in Greater China or in a Chinese context on the following and related topics: * The success of cross-border e-commerce (focusing on both buyers and seller's perspectives) * The policies and cross-border e-commerce * Mobile technologies and cross-border e-commerce * Logistics and cross-border e-commerce * Privacy- and security-related issues in cross-border e-commerce * Service and cross-border e-commerce * Localization related issues in cross-border e-commerce * Cross-cultural issues in cross-border e-commerce * Other emerging issues in cross-border e-commerce. Submission Deadline. The submission deadline for full papers is December 1, 2018. Authors are encouraged to submit as soon as possible. Submission Guidelines. Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered. Authors should limit their initial submissions to no more than 32 double-spaced pages in 12-point font with appropriate margins, inclusive of all materials (i.e., references, figures, tables and appendices). Author names and affiliations should be listed on the first page of the paper; the reviewing will be single blind only. All papers should be submitted via ECR's submission system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/elec/default.aspx). Authors should select "S.I.: Belt and Road E-Commerce" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. Authors should follow Springer's Electronic Commerce Research format. Review Process. The special issue editors will return first reviews and AE reports no later than 90 days from the date of submission. We will use a developmental reviewing approach for this special issue, with the aim of helping special issue authors to achieve very high quality final publications. Second and third round reviews, as needed, will be completed on an expedited basis, if authors are able to turn their revisions around quickly. We also will provide special issue authors with an indication as early as possible of rejection for the special issue, including decisions based on a first reading by the special issue editors. Inappropriately targeted or under-developed papers will be returned immediately to the authors. Publication Date. The publication of this special issue will occur on a "best effort" basis some time in 2019. The actual date of publication depends on the timing of completion of all the articles that it will contain, and is subject to the editorial staff's and publisher's ability to schedule it. ECR's experience is that special issues are published no later than about 6 months after the last article of the issue is completed and sent to production by the authors and special issue editors.

Internationale Konferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI 2019), 24.-27. Februar 2019 in Siegen http://wi2019.de/ Track Chairs Prof. Dr. Jorge Marx Gómez, Universität Oldenburg Dr. Alexander Boden, Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT Beschreibung Das betriebliche Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement umfasst sowohl die ökonomische, soziale als auch die ökologische Dimension unternehmerischen Handelns. Der Einsatz von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) ist dabei notwendige Voraussetzung für die erfolgreiche Etablierung in Unternehmen. Auch in Privathaushalten verbreiten sich in Form von Apps und Webservices zunehmend technische Ansätze des Informationsmanagements, etwa in den Bereichen Hauswirtschaft, Mobilität und Wohnen (Smart Homes). Dabei können grundsätzlich zwei Perspektiven unterschieden werden: Einerseits rückt die IKT selbst durch erhöhten Energie- bzw. Ressourcenbedarf im Leistungserstellungsprozess in das Blickfeld interner und externer Stakeholder (nachhaltiges IT-Management). Das in der Praxis diskutierte “Green-IT” liefert hierzu erste Ansätze. Andererseits kann die IKT durch die informatorische Absicherung unternehmerischer oder hauswirtschaftlicher Entscheidungen (z. B. Betriebliche Umweltinformationssysteme) unterstützen und somit die Realisierung von Optimierungspotenzialen im Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement ermöglichen (IT-for-Green). Eine zentrale Fragestellung ist, wie und welche Erkenntnisse sowie Konzepte der Wirtschaftsinformatik hierfür genutzt werden können. Schwerpunkte Der Track fokussiert sowohl Konzepte eines nachhaltigen IT-Managements als auch die IT-Unterstützung der ökonomischen sowie ökologischen Dimensionen des Nachhaltigkeitsmanagements in Betrieben und Privathaushalten und erörtert Forschungsfragen, Perspektiven und State of the Art Anwendungen in diesem Feld. Aufgrund der interdisziplinären Natur des Themenfeldes ist es das Ziel, dass Experten aus verschiedenen Fachrichtungen teilnehmen. Einreichungen von Beiträgen sind insbesondere, aber nicht ausschließlich, zu den folgenden Themen erwünscht: o Blockchain-Anwendungen im Kontext der Ressourceneffizienz und Nachhaltigkeit o Konzepte und Methoden Betrieblicher Umweltinformationssysteme (BUIS) zur Gestaltung nachhaltiger Produktions- und Zuliefernetzwerke (Sustainable Supply Chains) insbesondere unter dem Einfluss der Digitalisierung o Integration von Betrieblichen Umweltinformationssystemen und Enterprise Resource Planning Systemen im Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement o Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement für IT-Organisationen – Managementkonzepte und Frameworks (z. B. Vorgehens- und Reifegradmodelle) o Green-IT Kennzahlensysteme bzw. Performance-Measurement-Systeme (z.B. Green-IT Scorecards), Lebenszyklusanalysen von IT-Ressourcen o IT-Ressourcenmanagement o Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien und Energieeffizienz o Nachhaltigkeitsreporting und -kommunikation inklusive Stakeholderorientierung und Möglichkeiten des Citizen Science zur Partizipation an Nachhaltigkeitsaktivitäten o IKT-gestütztes nachhaltiges Wassermanagement o Nachhaltiger gemeinwohlorientierter IKT-Einsatz o Technologie-Innovation für nachhaltige Mobilität (z. B. Mobilität für smarte Städte und Regionen, Integration autonomer Fahrzeuge) o IT-gestütztes Management von Umweltrisiken o Modellierung und Simulation umweltrelevanter Prozesse o Sustainable Supply Chain Management o Umweltinformationsmanagement o Ansätze des Sustainable Interaction Design o Verbraucherinformatik, insbesondere nachhaltiger Konsum o Gestaltungs- und Aneignungsstudien zu IT-Unterstützung in den Bereichen nachhaltiges Haushalten, Mobilität, Wohnen o Arbeiten im Bereich Verbraucherinformatik und digitaler Konsum o Anwendung weiterer und Ausweitung bestehender Methoden der angewandten Informatik auf dem Gebiet der Stoffstromanalyse (Material Flow Analysis) und innerhalb von BUIS. o Ausblick auf neue Konzepte und Technologien, die im Umfeld des Rahmenthemas angesiedelt sind. Der Track richtet sich an Anwender, Softwarehersteller sowie Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen der Betrieblichen Umwelt- und Wirtschaftsinformatik sowie den Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaften.

As stated by Drucker (1998), “Innovation is the specific tool of Entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as opportunity of a different [new] business or a different [new] service… Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovations, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation”. The modern IT like social, mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC) and emerging aspects like bigdata and internet-of-things is changing the way innovation and entrepreneurship are conceived, initiated and executed and managed. The rise and growth of firms such as Uber, Airbnb and Alibaba.com are strongly attributed to the advancements in digital technologies (Tan et al. 2016). Such examples epitome characteristics of digital technologies and platforms like accessibility, availability, ease-of-use and ease-of-deployment which purport to transform the very nature of how companies innovate using modern digital technologies and how entrepreneurship is facilitated. Herein, digital technologies have provided the firms with low capital intensity, an opportunity to innovate in a similar fashion as their resourceful counterparts (Tan et al. 2016), challenging the traditional equation of IT sophistication and resource availability (Dobbs et al. 2015; Nylén and Holmström 2015). Moreover, the innovation potential of firms is said to have been augmented by the substantial growth in consumerization of IT, through which technologies have become accessible to average citizens as a commodity (Harris et al. 2012; Weiß and Leimeister 2012). Overall, the opportunities for digital business transformation through digital technologies for innovation and entrepreneurship purport to provide unique opportunities to organizations of all sizes, regardless of their resources, geographical constraints and organizational maturity. However, despite the proliferation, availability, accessibility, scalability and affordability of digital technologies over the past several years, firms are still struggling to reap the full innovation and entrepreneurial potential, where new ideas still do not reach the customer due to lack of organizational readiness and lack of knowledge of the organizational strategy (Snyder-Halpern 2001; Williams 2011). As such, more research is necessary to disentangle the intricate relationship between IT with innovation and entrepreneurship in order to comprehend how new businesses may emerge alongside technological innovations. This special issue provides an opportunity for deliberation on a broad range of topics associated with recent trends in IT innovation and entrepreneurship. Over the last decade, there is a growing research stream on IT entrepreneurship in the information systems community. IT entrepreneurship adds a further dimension to IT innovation in that it deals with how original ideas can be converted into software and hardware products and services. Accordingly, this special issue serves as a forum for focused discussion and exchange on IT innovation and entrepreneurship. We endeavor to address crucial fundamental question of the role of digital technologies in innovation and entrepreneurship in the dynamic economic realities. The special issue is open to all methodological approaches. We especially welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in (but not limited to): - Challenges and opportunities associated with leveraging IT-driven innovation activities and processes for entrepreneurship - Effects of culture on IT innovation and entrepreneurship - Entrepreneurial attitudes toward and motives for IT innovation - Impact of IT entrepreneurship on for individuals, businesses, and society - Inter-firm collaboration in IT innovation and entrepreneurship - Novel business models anchored on IT innovation, relationship between emerging technologies (e.g., big data analytics, blockchain, sharing economy, social media) and entrepreneurship - Value creation and capturing through IT innovation - Any other topic that touch on matters related to the intersection between IT innovation and entrepreneurship. <Extended Abstract> Before submitting a completed manuscript, authors are strongly encouraged to submit an extended abstract detailing the research objectives to be achieved, the methodological approach(es) being adopted (if applicable), the core findings, as well as contributions to theory and practice. The extended abstract should be no more than 800 words and is due on Wednesday [August 1st, 2018]. Based on the extended abstract, the guest editors will provide authors with feedback on whether their papers would be a match with the theme of the special issue. <Paper Development Workshop> We expect authors of manuscripts, which have gone through the first round of review, to attend a paper development workshop at ICIS 2018 to be held in San Francisco, California, United States of America. ----- Venlig hilsen | Kind regards, Chee-Wee, Tan (陈致玮) Professor Department of Digitalization Copenhagen Business School Howitzvej 60, 4.18 | DK - 2000 Frederiksberg | Denmark T: +45 4185-2149 | E: ct.digi(a)cbs.dk<mailto:ct.digi@cbs.dk> | W: www.cbs.dk/en/staff/ctadigi<http://www.cbs.dk/en/staff/ctadigi> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

ARTICLE 1 Society of Agents: A Framework for Multi-Agent Collaborative Problem Solving Steven Walczak (University of South Florida, Tampa, USA) The development of multiple agent systems faces many challenges, including agent coordination and collaboration on tasks. Minsky's The Society of Mind provides a conceptual view for addressing these multi-agent system problems. A new classification ontology is introduced for comparing multi-agent systems. Next, a new framework called the Society of Agents is developed from Minsky's conceptual foundation. A Society of Agents framework-based problem-solving and a Game Society is developed and applied to the domain of single player logic puzzles and two player games. The Game Society solved 100% of presented Sudoku and Kakuro problems and never lost a tic-tac-toe game. The advantage of the Society of Agents approach is the efficient re-utilization of agents across multiple independent game domain problems and a centralized problem-solving architecture with efficient cross-agent information sharing.

Trois-Rivi?res, Trois-Rivi?res, Canada), Thuong-Cang Phan (Can Tho University, Can Tho, Viet Nam), Trung Bui (Adobe Research, San Jose, USA), Manh Chien Vu (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Trois-Rivi?res, Trois-Rivi?res, Canada) Nowadays, big data is a revolution that transforms conventional enterprises into data-driven organizations in which knowledge discovered from big data will be integrated into traditional knowledge to improve decision-making and to facilitate organizational learning. Consequently, a major concern is how to evolve current knowledge management systems, which are confronted with a various and unprecedented amount of data, resulting from different data sources. Therefore, a new generation of knowledge management systems is required for exploring and exploiting big data as well as for facilitating the knowledge co-creation between the society and its business environment to foster innovation. This article proposes a service-oriented architecture for elaborating a new generation of big data-driven knowledge management systems to help enterprises to promote knowledge co-creation and to obtain more business value from big data. The proposed architecture is presented based on the principles of design science research and its evaluation uses the analytical evaluation method.

The proposed Semantic Sentiment Analyser makes use of semantic similarity techniques, sentiment composition rules, and the Positivity/Negativity (P/N) ratio in performing polarity classification. An experiment was conducted to compare the performance of three semantic similarity metrics namely HSO, LESK, and LIN to find the semantically similar pair of word as the input word. The best similarity technique (HSO) is incorporated into the sentiment analyser to find the possible polarity carrier from the analysed text before performing polarity classification. The performance of the proposed Semantic Sentiment Analyser was evaluated using a set of manually annotated financial news articles. The results obtained from the experiment showed that the proposed SSA was able to achieve an F-Score of 90.89% for all cases classification.

For the purpose of the same, this research considers Twitter social network to extract tweets dated 1st October 2016 to 15th October 2017 from Patanjali, Dabur and other Hindi language-oriented Twitter based health sites; while considering four NE types- Person, Disease, Consumable and Organization. To the best of its knowledge, the considered Twitter dataset and NE types for Hindi language is one of the first resources that is being taken care. This article introduces three stage NER system for Tweets in Hindi language (HinTwtNER system)- pre-processing stage; machine Learning stage (Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL) and Conditional Random Field (CRF)); and post-processing stage. HinTwtNER looks into binary features and achieves an overall F-score of 49.87% which is comparable to the Twitter based NER systems for English and other languages.

Sweetlin Hemalatha (VIT University, Vellore, India), Vignesh Sankaran (Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), Vaidehi V (VIT University, Vellore, India), Shree Nandhini S (Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), Sharmi P (Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), Lavanya B (Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), Vasuhi S (Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), Ranajit Kumar (NCPW, Department of Atomic Energy, Mumbai, India) Face recognition from a large video database involves more search time. This article proposes a symmetric uncertainty based search space reduction (SUSSR) methodology that facilitates faster face recognition in video, making it viable for real time surveillance and authentication applications. The proposed methodology employs symmetric uncertainty based feature subset selection to obtain significant features. Further, Fuzzy C-Means clustering is applied to restrict the search to nearest possible cluster, thus speeding up the recognition process. Kullback Leibler's divergence based similarity measure is employed to recognize the query face in video by matching the query frame with that of stored features in the database. The proposed search space reduction methodology is tested upon benchmark video face datasets namely FJU, YouTube celebrities and synthetic datasets namely MIT-Dataset-I and MIT-Dataset-II. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology with a 10 increase in recognition accuracy and 35 reduction in recognition time.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] 3rd Workshop on the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) - Pre-ICIS2018 Workshop Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:12:12 +0200 (CEST) From: Matt, Christian <matt(a)bwl.lmu.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de *** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for Papers: 3rd Workshop on the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) Pre-ICIS 2018 Workshop, including an expert panel on “the dark side” of the Digitization of the Individual *************************************************************** 12 December 2018, 1:00-5:30pm, San Francisco, USA Deadline for paper submissions: 10 September 2018 Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 24 September 2018 Workshop website: http://doti.is-research.com WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION As our lives become immersed by powerful digital devices and services, questions of implications for individuals’ lives as well as their social interactions and structures arise. IS research has traditionally focused rather on institutional contexts (Baskerville 2011). However, the digitization of individuals' private contexts offers manifold important research questions to be solved (Hess et al. 2014). In everyone’s life outside the organizational context these pertain individual behavior and decision making and the positive and negative consequences thereof, but also communication and interactions with other individuals as well as firms. The emerging fully digitized and connected environment implies changes to the development, exploitation and management of personal IS. While particular scenarios (e.g. smart home, connected cars, social networks) have received partial attention in different fields, this workshop seeks to gather these fragmented views and bring together researchers interested in the impact of digitization on individuals. Research in this area is beneficial in two ways. First, understanding the implications, opportunities and threats of the digitization of private lives enables suppliers of digital technologies to form closer and stronger connections with their customers and to build services and devices that better match their expectations and improve their everyday lives. Second, this research can help to develop policies and practices that improve the usage and exploitation of digital technologies on a societal level. By encouraging a systematic focus on the individual, this workshop strives for a common understanding of the role of the individual and the challenges and opportunities owing to novel digital technologies. The 3rd workshop on the Digitization of the Individual will be held in San Francisco, USA, in conjunction with ICIS 2018 and is scheduled for 12 December 2018, 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM. To promote further impactful research on individuals, strong emphasis during the workshop will be given to paper development discussions, among others, facilitated by discussants providing direct feedback. As part of the workshop, an expert panel on “the dark side of the digitization of the individual” will provide thought-provoking discussions on important aspects and trends in this particular domain. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that will include snacks and coffee breaks (details will be announced as the conference program is finalized). Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: - Individual behavior in connected digital environments, such as • Choice making in digital environments • Individual behavior in social networks and the sharing economy • Individual communication and consumption patterns • Digital collaboration among individuals - Positive and negative outcomes of digitization and connectivity, such as • Effects of usage of digital devices and ubiquitous connectivity on individuals’ attitudes, behaviors and performance • Techno-overload and techno-stress • Privacy and IT-security issues for individuals’ private lives • The impact of quantification on the self - Development, exploitation and management of personal IS • IT-facilitated learning • Individual’s information system architectures and connected environments • Development of solutions for individual use • Personal health devices SUBMISSION, REVIEW, AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS Manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments to the workshop co-chairs at (doti(a)is-research.com <mailto:doti@is-research.com>) with the subject heading "DOTI workshop submission". The deadline for submission is 10 September 2018. Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection decisions by 24 September 2018. As a paper development workshop there will no be formal proceedings; accepted papers will be made available to other attendees for the period of the workshop and a printed abstract will be included as part of the workshop materials. SUBMISSION FORMAT There are two types of submissions: full papers and research-in-progress papers. The length of full papers and research-in-progress papers is limited to 7,000 words and 4,500 words respectively (excluding references). The format of the submission is a Word or PDF document that includes a title, author names and affiliations, and 3-5 keywords. The submission should follow the ICIS formatting guidelines (https://icis2018.aisconferences.org/submissions/submission-formatting-check…). All submissions to DOTI must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings. If the work has been presented at another conference or is currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere, the authors must disclose this fact. At least one author for every accepted paper must register for the workshop and be prepared to present their ideas in person (both full and RIP papers will be presented). Due to the strong emphasis of the workshop on paper development, the workshop schedule ensure room for detailed discussions and each presentation will be accompanied by a discussant providing direct feedback to the individual work.
