-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS 6th workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2018 11:51:27 +0000 From: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> To: AISWorld Listserv <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS 6th workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” December 12, 2018, San Francisco Workshop focus This AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS workshop has a general orientation towards pragmatic perspectives on IS. The focus is on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This means an emphasis on digital artifacts as embedded in social practices and carriers of elements in such practices. It emphasizes also the innovative nature of designing new artifacts and new practices. The workshop acknowledges different sub-themes within this broad workshop theme: * Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts * Ways to conceptualize and describe practices * Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts * The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices Topics within these sub-themes are described below. Workshop purpose This workshop is arranged in the same spirit and a continuation of earlier successful SIGPRAG workshops on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This SIGPRAG workshop intends to bring scholars and practitioners together for a knowledge exchange and development on research foundations and practical contributions concerning the design and innovation of digital artifacts and practices. The SIGPRAG workshop is intended to be a developmental arena with thoughtful and constructive feedback from reviews and comments on site. The workshop should be a place where you can present ideas in papers and get fruitful feedback for further development of the papers. A developmental arena means also taking responsibility for pushing contributions further to high-quality journal publications. From earlier SIGPRAG workshops many papers have been pushed further into special issues in the open access journal Systems, Signs & Actions. At least one issue will be arranged in Systems, Signs & Actions inviting promising papers from this SIGPRAG workshop. Topics The workshop can include papers from diverse fields of IS. Topics following the identified workshop sub-themes are listed below. Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; empirical research approaches such as: * Practice research * Action research * Design science research * Action design research * Case study research * Evaluation research * Discourse analysis * Pragmatic inquiries * Practitioner – research collaborations Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; knowledge creation approaches such as: * Design theory development * Method engineering * Grounded theory development * Multi-grounded theory development * Practical theory development Ways to conceptualize and describe practices; for example: * Symbolic interaction * Language action * Socio-materiality * Institutionalism * Actor-networks * Infrastructure evolution * Socio-instrumentalism * Distributed cognition * Distributed agency Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts; for example: * Ensemble view * Socio-technical view * Contextual view * Functional tool view * Affordance view * Communicative action view The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices; for example aspects such as: * Innovation strategies * Openness in innovation * Design thinking * Collaborative design * Stakeholder interactions (power-playing vs. value balancing and informed consensus building) * Practice understanding and diagnosis * Wicked problems * Problem formulation * Values and goals articulation * Idea generation * Idea capture * Design conversations * Idea visualization (modeling, prototyping) * Strategies for testing and evaluation Dates and submission details Submissions: September 28, 2018 Notification: October 31, 2018 Final manuscripts: November 30, 2018 Workshop: December 12, 2018 The workshop website is http://SIGPrag.net/<http://sigprag.net/>. The workshop will follow an ordinary scientific procedure with submission of papers and selection of papers through peer-review (pursued by an international program committee). Papers are expected to be between 5-16 pages. We welcome full research papers as well as shorter papers (work-in-progress or position papers). For submissions we use the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=practdid2018). A format template can be found at the workshop website (http://SIGPrag.net/<http://sigprag.net/>).

Pragmatist Information Systems Research There have been many calls in the information systems (IS) community for a stronger pragmatic focus. This can be seen in a growing interest for research approaches and methods in IS that emphasize contribution to practice and collaboration between the practice and academia. Action research, which aims for knowledge development through collaboration and intervention in real settings, is achieving more and more academic credibility (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Davison et al, 2004). This can also be said about design science research that aims for the generation of new and useful artifacts (Hevner et al, 2004; Gregor & Jones, 2007). Research through evaluation has had a long and venerable place in IS research (Ward et, 1996; Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2003). Several approaches and frameworks that combine or integrate elements from the above-mentioned approaches have also emerged, e.g. practice research (Goldkuhl, 2011), collaborative practice research (Mathiassen, 2002), practical science (Gregor, 2008), engaged scholarship (Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), action design research (Sein et al, 2011) and technical action research (Wieringa & Morali, 2012). Underlying these different approaches is a quest for practical relevance of the conducted research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999; Van de Ven, 2007; Wieringa, 2010). It is not enough to only “mirror” the world through descriptions and explanations but a pragmatic orientation recognizes intervention and design as a way of knowing and a means for building knowledge about social and institutional phenomena (Aakhus, 2007). There is a need for knowledge of other epistemic kinds that contributes more clearly to the improvement of IS practices. A pragmatic orientation can also be seen in the increasing interest in the conceptualization of practices, activities, agency and actions. Practice theorizing has gained an increased attention in IS studies (Orlikowski, 2008; Leonardi, 2011). There has been an interest for agency and action oriented theories in IS for quite some time; e.g. activity theory (Nardi, 1996), structuration theory (Orlikowski, 1992), social action theorizing (Hirschheim et al, 1996), human agency theorizing (Boudreau & Robey, 2005), language action perspective (Winograd & Flores, 1986) and work systems theory (Alter, 2013). From this follows also an interest for social and pragmatic views of the IT artifact (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005). This includes views of the IT artifact as contextually embedded and carriers of those social contexts (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001) and such artifacts being tools for action and communication (Ågerfalk, 2003; Markus & Silver, 2008). Design research practice and the contributions to practice through appropriation of knowledge and methods and the contributions to academia through knowledge artifacts has been discussed (Sjöström, Donnellan & Helfert, 2012). This enhanced practice and action orientation follows a growing awareness within IS scholars towards pragmatism as a research foundation (e.g. Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012). It is not the case that IS scholars suddenly become pragmatists in their research orientation. It is rather the case that there is move from an implicit pragmatism to an explicit one (Goldkuhl, 2012). For a long time IS scholars have addressed practical problems with an interest for improvement. That interest has led to the extensive development of methods, models and constructive frameworks for not only the design of IT artifacts, but also related to several other IS/IT phenomena like e.g. innovation management, business process management, project management, IT service management just to mention a few. These methods actually reveal an on-going search for knowledge of other epistemic kinds for advancing understanding of information technology, information systems, and practice. Pragmatism – and its inherent view of inquiry as a theory of knowledge (Dewey, 1938) – is a philosophical foundation for intervention-based research (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Sjöström, 2010). Indeed, Constantinides et al (2012, p. 1) propose “practical questions for all IS researchers to consider in making choices about relevant topics, design and execution, and representation of findings in their research.” The pragmatist foundations are also reflected in the evolving design science research discourse (Hevner et al, 2004; Sein et al, 2011; Gregor & Hevner, 2013; Iivari, 2014; Venable et al, 2016).

Its aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in different aspects of Datalog to share research experiences, promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. The 3rd International Workshop on the Resurgence of Datalog in Academia and Industry (Datalog 2.0 2019) will be held in Philadelphia, USA, on June 3-5, 2019. Datalog 2.0 2019 is a major event of the Philadelphia Logic Week 2019, which is dedicated to the research on logic, knowledge representation, and reasoning. The other major event of the Philadelphia Logic Week 2019 is the 15th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning (LPNMR 2019). The first edition of Datalog 2.0 was held in Oxford, UK, in 2010, and it was by invitation only. Since Datalog has resurrected as a lively topic with applications in many different areas of computer science, as well as industry, the second edition of the workshop, which was held in Vienna, Austria, in 2012, was open for submissions. INVITED SPEAKERS To be announced TOPICS Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on the foundational aspects of Datalog, as well as on its applications in other areas of computer science and in industry. Potential areas of application of Datalog may include (among others): data management, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning, cloud computing, distributed computing, logic programming, privacy and security, probabilistic reasoning, program analysis, programming languages, semantic web, social networks, streaming, verification, web services. SUBMISSION Datalog 2.0 2019 welcomes two types of submissions * Long papers of up to 12 pages, presenting original research * Short papers of up to 5 pages that may contain either original ongoing research or recently published results in the following categories * Technical papers * System descriptions * Application descriptions The indicated number of pages includes title page and references. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be submitted for publication in the CEUR Workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). Authors can opt-out if desired. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the work. Submissions must be written in English, and formatted according to Springer's guidelines and technical instructions available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conferen… Paper submission is enabled via the Datalog 2.0 2019 EasyChair site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datalog2019 The journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) will devote a special issue for a joint event of LPNMR/Datalog 2.0. Four to six papers will be selected for a rapid publication. In case of invited papers for a rapid publication in TPLP, there should be at least 30% new content compared to the published workshop paper.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS "Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology Use Cases: Applications and Lessons Learned"
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS "Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology Use Cases: Applications and Lessons Learned" Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 12:25:39 +0000 From: Horst Treiblmaier <Horst.Treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *** CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS *** Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology Use Cases: Applications and Lessons Learned (published by Springer) Within a short couple of years, Blockchain and other trustless systems have turned from being relatively obscure technologies, which were only known to a small community of computer scientists and cryptologists, into mainstream phenomena that are seen as powerful game changers for many industries. Given the manifold potential applications of Blockchain to substitute or remove intermediaries, it does not come as a surprise that the expectations from industry are high or even exaggerated. Simultaneously, various applied academic communities have taken up the subject and actively research either the technology or its implications. Given that the dust of the initial hype has settled, it is now time to explore how sustainable value can be created with the use of Blockchain and related technologies implementing, exploring and evaluating real use cases. For this call for papers, we therefore invite chapters that describe the application of Blockchain and related technologies in real-world use cases. We will publish papers that clearly outline how those technologies have been applied, what the rationale for their application was and, finally, what the outcome was. It is the goal of this book to provide a broad collection of applications, experiences and lessons learned pertaining to a wide variety of industries and application areas, including, but not limited to, financial markets, energy, tourism, SCM, IoT, law and compliance. *** Structure *** We are looking for chapters that thoroughly discuss use cases of Blockchain and related technologies. Each chapter needs to clearly specify how the technology was applied and what exactly the outcome was. Ideally, the authors comment on how those technologies helped to improve performance in comparison to traditional systems. A critical position should be taken and the advantages and disadvantages of Blockchain use should be discussed. We highly appreciated the discussion of failures as long as the case is well-documented. More specifically, the requirements for acceptance are: • Case study is relevant to the book’s theme • Objectives are clear and well-described • Chapter will draw an audience • Chapter is well organized and flows logically • Methodology is appropriate • Evidence supports authors’ arguments *** Formatting *** All final submissions must have 6,000-9,000 words and follow the template provided by the publisher. The references must be formatted following APA style. Submissions that do not use this template or deviate from the formatting requirements will be rejected without review. *** Important Dates *** • Submission of an Extended Abstract (~ 1,000 words): before October 31, 2018 • Submission of the Chapter: before May 31, 2019 *** Procedure *** Interested authors can learn more, or submit a paper, by contacting the editors directly. The Cfp together with templates for MS Word and LaTeX can be found at: https://www.modul.ac.at/about/departments/international-management/projects/ *** Contact *** Horst Treiblmaier, Professor, Head of the Department of International Management, MODUL University Vienna, horst.treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at<mailto:horst.treiblmaier@modul.ac.at> Christian Sillaber, Postdoctoral Researcher, christian.sillaber(a)acm.org<mailto:christian.sillaber@acm.org> Trevor Clohessy, Postdoctoral Researcher, trevorclohessy(a)yahoo.com<mailto:trevorclohessy@yahoo.com> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP- Special Issue on Rejuvenating Enterprise Systems - Scandinavian Journal of IS
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP- Special Issue on Rejuvenating Enterprise Systems - Scandinavian Journal of IS Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 05:14:35 +0200 From: Moutaz Haddara <haddara(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to submit your original research to our “Rejuvenating Enterprise Systems” special issue at the Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems (http://iris.cs.aau.dk/index.php/welcome.html). The Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems (SJIS) is the journal of the IRIS Association, which is the Scandinavian chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). SJIS is recognized as level A in the ABDC journal ranking list. Special Issue Guest Editors: Ahmed Elragal, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. Moutaz Haddara, Kristiania University College, Norway and TIAS Business School for Business & Society, Netherlands. Eli Hustad, University of Agder, Norway. Important Dates: Submission deadline: December 31st, 2018 Guest editors’ constructive rejection: February 1st, 2019 First review completed: March 1st, 2019 Revised manuscript due: May 15th, 2019 Second review completed: June 30th, 2019 Revised manuscript due: August 31, 2019 Publication date: December 2019 Submission Guidelines Article submissions for this special issue should follow the submission format and guidelines of the Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems. All papers will be peer-reviewed based on the journal’s review procedures. Authors must indicate in the cover letter that the paper is aimed for the Rejuvenating Enterprise Systems special issue to ensure that the submission will be handled by the right editors. Review Strategy A constructive rejection approach will be applied prior to the review process. All submissions will be initially screened by all guest editors as soon as the submission deadline passes. The authors whose articles fail to meet the journal’s standards or specific requirements will be notified soon after the submission deadline. The papers that pass the initial screening and that may be accepted for publication subject to certain conditions, will undergo a rigorous review process according to the publication plan. Authors of articles that are expected to be accepted, will be offered an opportunity to revise and resubmit their papers within a specified period. At least two independent reviewers shall review the submitted manuscripts based on their originality, quality, and relevance to this special issue’s theme. Idea in Brief In this special issue, the guest editors seek a diverse collection of articles that address the future of enterprise systems. Enterprise systems have existed for decades, and the majority of large organizations worldwide have implemented their enterprise systems (Gattiker & Goodhue, 2005). However, fluctuating levels of success have been reported over the years (Hustad & Olsen, 2014; Svejvig & Jensen, 2013). Companies of all sizes have become increasingly dependent on enterprise systems to integrate their various business functions, manage their operational and routine transactions, comply with regulations, manage their global supply chains, and benefit from the systems’ timely reporting capabilities (Haddara & Zach, 2011). Generally, enterprise systems’ implementations are resource intensive and require considerable financial investments. Their adoptions also result in widespread organizational changes (Volkoff, Strong, & Elmes, 2007). Despite enterprise systems’ demanding and risky implementation efforts, their substantial business value is recognized (Tian & Xu, 2015). The ex post literature is rich and diverse; however, an apparent gap in enterprise systems’ future relates to emerging technologies (Elragal & Haddara, 2012). Thus, there is a need to investigate how emerging technologies can shape the future of such systems. Currently, the characteristics of enterprise systems have radically changed. Businesses require agility and flexibility. Therefore, among others, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems should respond to such dynamic needs of today’s businesses. New sourcing models for enterprise systems have recently been offered, and cloud sourcing has become a popular approach for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular (El-Gazzar, Hustad, & Olsen, 2016). Moreover, new applications have been integrated with enterprise systems, forming the so-called hybrid systems. Such a hybrid system also incorporates systems from multiple vendors, as well as integrates data from on-premises with those on the cloud (Loebbecke, Thomas, & Ullrich, 2012). Enterprises also seek to utilize enterprise systems in more intelligent ways by analyzing their transaction data to support decision making on both strategic and tactical levels. Future enterprise systems are expected to support digital transformation to a greater extent. We strongly believe that five areas are reshaping the future of enterprise systems. Therefore, such systems need rejuvenation to sustain their well-established presence in organizations. These areas are as follows: Area 1. Cloud computing Area 2. Gamification Area 3. Blockchain technology Area 4. Big data analytics Area 5. Digitalization Call for Contributions In this special issue, we seek to attract researchers’ works that present novel approaches to inquiries into technical, operational, economic, and social impacts of emerging technologies with regard to their connection to and impact on enterprise systems. The special issue is open to all types of research methodologies and especially encourages a diversity of theoretical and empirical approaches. Basically, we are looking for theoretically well-defined research problems that are relevant to the topics intertwined in this special issue, with the objective to advance theories and methods or open the door for future knowledge to unfold. Accordingly, we differentiate between informative, theoretical and practical research problems, welcoming both scholarly pieces and studies with concrete applications. As a result, we expect the papers to demonstrate academic value and illustrate how the research contributes to businesses and society in general. For more information about the special issue and the topics’ details, please visit http://iris.cs.aau.dk/index.php/special-issue-call-for-papers.html Looking forward for your research!

Fwd: [WI] Call for Papers: Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2019)
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers: Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2019) Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:43:06 +0000 From: Moa Johansson <moa.johansson(a)chalmers.se> Reply-To: Moa Johansson <moa.johansson(a)chalmers.se> 21th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2019) https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/PADL-2019 Lisbon, Portugal. 14 -15 January 2019. Co-located with ACM POPL 2019 (https://popl19.sigplan.org/home) Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide attractive frameworks for application development. These languages have been successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from data base management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation have opened up new application areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel problems raise numerous interesting research issues. Well-known questions include designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasising novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative concepts, including, functional, logic, constraints, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Innovative applications of declarative languages * Declarative domain-specific languages and applications * Practical applications of theoretical results * New language developments and their impact on applications * Declarative languages and software engineering * Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications * Practical experiences and industrial applications * Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom * Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and reactive languages. PADL 2019 welcomes new ideas and approaches pertaining to applications and implementation of * declarative languages, and is not limited to the scope of the past PADL symposia. It will be co-located with the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2019), in Lisbon, Portugal. Important Dates and Submission Guidelines —————————————————— Abstracts due: 21 September Papers due: 28 September Notification to authors: 26 October Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper in PDF using the Springer LNCS format. The submission will be done through EasyChair conference system:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2019 All submissions must be original work written in English. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program chair about the place on which it has previously appeared. PADL 2019 will accept both technical and application papers: Technical papers must describe original, previously unpublished research results. Technical papers must not exceed 15 pages (plus one page of references) in Springer LNCS format. Application papers are a mechanism to present important practical applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in areas of research other than Computer Science. Application papers are expected to describe complex and/or real-world applications that rely on an innovative use of declarative languages. Application descriptions, engineering solutions and real-world experiences (both positive and negative) are solicited. The limit for application papers is 8 pages in Springer LNCS format but such papers can also point to sites with supplemental information about the application or the system that they describe. The proceedings of PADL 2019 will appear in the LNCS series of Springer Verlag: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs Journal Publication for Best Papers —————————————————— The best papers (as selected by the PC chairs) will be invited to submit a longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers related to logic programming, in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP), and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional Programming (JFP). The authors of these papers will be invited to submit a journal version containing at least 30% new material. This will be reviewed by the PC and/or the respective journal editors for a swifter reviewing process of the journal version. Such extensions could be explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work and such like.
