-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - INTERFACE AND EXPERIENCE DESIGN WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGNECE & AI/VR (DAIVAR) Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 10:05:44 +0200 From: Artur Lugmayr <artur.lugmayr(a)ambientmediaassociation.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ====================================================================================================================== Call for Long/Short Papers, Abstracts, Demos and Posters 2nd Workshop on INTERFACE AND EXPERIENCE DESIGN WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGNECE AND AI/VR (DAIVAR) In conjunction with the IEEE Artificial Intelligence Virtual Reality (AIVR) Conference - 10th-12th December 2018 - Taichung, Taiwan - Submission Deadline: 14th October 2018 - Website: http://www.artur-lugmayr.com/activities/current-activities/daivar2018/ - Submission System: http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Submissions/2018DAIVAR/ - Workshop proceedings published in an Scopus indexed proceedings series - Best papers will be published as edited book, or journal special issue ====================================================================================================================== The objective of this workshop is to invite scholars and practitioners to discuss synergies between interface and experience design in artificial intelligent reality virtual and augmented environments. The aim is to gather a cross- disciplinary team of contributors researching HCI related issues contributing to this fascinating newly emerging domain. We especially seek contributions from experts with a background in computer science, HCI, psychology/cognitive sciences, culture/communication studies, design and art to develop this fascinating intersection. Aspects can range from user-experience, technologies supporting end-users, practical applications, methods, content production, cultural implications, communication theories, up to more artistic approaches in artificial intelligent interaction. While AI's main aim is to replicate human intelligence, AR and VR focuses its research efforts on the creation of artificial worlds either in complete virtual world, or as part of our physical environment. Many examples that bridge the two fields have emerged recently, e.g. intelligence in digital games and the utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning and AI. Philosophical discussions around issues arising in this new area range from ideas when things start to think to Alan Turing's work. In this workshop, we would like to raise a question: what would happen when artificial worlds start to think, and how we humans can interact and communicate with AI through e.g. affective interfaces? Thus, while AI and VR/AR went rather distinct research pathways, we attempt to bring them together, and discuss different aspects at the intersection of machine intelligence and human interaction in a mixed reality. The workshop intends to attract a broad range of contributions to develop this scholarly field during a full day venue. As the emphasis is on creating the synergy between VR/AR and AI/ML, we are not limited to particular areas; instead, the following exemplary topics might help to gather ideas for a possible contribution: affective and emotional computation, communication with AI, digital game analytics, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning, personalization and recommender systems, UX with agents and physical robots, cultural robotics, or AI in information visualization. The workshop program stretches over a full-day, and will contain a combination of invited keynote presentations, oral presentations, posters, and demonstrations. The workshop proceedings will be published in a Scopus indexed proceedings series, and the very best contribution will be published in an edited book from a highly reputable publisher which has been pre-arranged. Depending on the quality and amount of contributions, we are also considering to publish a journal special issue within an indexed publisher. ====================================================================================================================== TOPICS OF INTEREST (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) ====================================================================================================================== • Interaction design for AIVR • Multimodal AI supported interaction design • Artificial intelligence and machine learning in AIVR • Emotions and AI in VR, AR, and smart objects • Human-Computer-Interaction with AI in virtual worlds • Human communication through AIVR • Emotion enriched human-AI collaboration • AI in digital games and other application areas • User-Experience and interaction with AIVR • Affective human-virtual world interaction • Design of emotionally intelligent AIVR • Recommender systems and personalisation in AIVR • Information visualisation in AIVR • Communication theory and cognitive science • Affective ambient intelligence in mixed realities • UX with AI agents in AIVR • Brain interfaces in AIVR • AI based emotion mediated communication in AIVR • Authoring emotional intelligent interaction in AIVR • Multimodal affective interfaces in AIVR • Human-human emotional communication in AIVR The workshop proceedings will be published in a Scopus indexed proceedings series with an ISBN number as part of the Semantic Ambient Media Experience (SAME) workshop series.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call For Papers: IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2019)
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call For Papers: IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2019) Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2018 10:05:30 -0400 From: bastian.tenbergen(a)oswego.edu To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** ICSA 2019 IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture March 25-29, 2019 Hamburg, Germany http://icsa-conferences.org/2019/ ICSA cordially invites contributions related to all aspects of software architecture. Submissions can be made in the following categories: * Technical track * New and Emerging Ideas (NEMI) track * Software Architecture in Practice (SAIP) track * Tool Demonstrations track * Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF-ICSA 2019) * Workshops * Tutorials The International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2019) is the premier gathering of practitioners and researchers interested in software architecture, in component-based software engineering and in quality aspects of complex software systems. ICSA continues the tradition of a working conference, where researchers meet practitioners and where software architects can explain the problems they face in their day-to-day work and try to influence the future of the field. Interactive working sessions will be the place where researchers meet practitioners to identify opportunities to create the future. The increasing size of software systems and the emergence of increasingly autonomous systems is asking for innovative software engineering practices. The way software is being developed and maintained is rapidly changing and must take into account multifaceted constraints like fast-changing and unpredictable markets, complex and changing customer requirements, pressures of shorter time-to-market, rapidly advancing information technologies, just to name a few of these new aspects. To cope with such constraints, software is increasingly produced according to rapid continuous software engineering development processes. The theme of ICSA 2019 is "Architectures to interconnect Services and Systems". We welcome original contributions that explore and explain the role of architecture in current systems as well as in near future systems. This conference looks at what can be learned from our software architecture history, experience, studies, and best practices. ============================== *Call for Papers* ============================== We solicit the software architecture community original submissions of the following types: *Technical Papers* ============================== Technical research papers (10 pages) should describe original and significant results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or experimental research in software architecture research or industrial practice. The novelty of the contribution needs to be clearly described and the results validated. Technical research papers are limited to 10 proceedings pages, and will be evaluate based on soundness, significance, verifiability, and presentation quality, in that order. *Topics* -------------------- Topics of interest for the conference include (but are not limited to) the following themes: * Architecture & CI, CD and DevOps, * Microservices * Model driven engineering for continuous architecting * Up-front architecture and agile development * Architecting Systems of Systems, IoT systems, CPSs, software ecosystems, self-adaptive systems, or autonomous systems * Component based software engineering and architecture design * Architecture evaluation and quality aspects of software architectures * Automatic extraction and generation of software architecture descriptions * Re-factoring and evolving architecture design decisions and solutions * Architecture frameworks and architecture description languages * Linking architecture to requirements and/or implementation * Preserving architecture quality throughout the system lifetime * Reusable architectural solutions * Software architecture knowledge management * Software architecture for legacy systems and systems integration * Architecting families of products * Cultural, economic, business and managerial aspects of software architecture * Software architects roles and responsibilities * Training, education, and certification of software architects * State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software architecture * Industrial experiments and case studies *Anonymization, Formatting and Submission Instructions* -------------------- Please note that ICSA 2019 will pursue a double-blind review process for the main Technical track (only), therefore all submissions to this track have to fulfill the double-blind reviewing requirements, see https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-i nstructions/index.html. Papers submitted to the ICSA2019 technical track that disregard these review requirements will not be reviewed but desk-rejected. All submissions must conform to the Author Instructions, see https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-i nstructions/index.html. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019 by the submission deadline, and must not have been published before. For more information please contact the Program Committee chairs through the email contact address <mailto:icsa2019@easychair.org> mailto:icsa2019@easychair.org *Publication* -------------------- All accepted technical track contributions will be published in ICSA 2019 proceedings, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. *New and Emerging Ideas* ============================== The goal of the New and Emerging Ideas (NEMI) track at ICSA 2019 is to encourage the software architecture community to propose new software architecture research visions and ideas, which can potentially challenge the status quo of the software architecture discipline (research and practice) and point to new directions and opportunities. *Types of submissions* -------------------- The ICSA 2019 NEMI track seeks the following types of contributions: *New Ideas*: -------------------- * Visions or new directions supported by a strong and well motivated scientific foundation or practical application; * Arguments or results that challenge established results or beliefs, giving evidence that calls for fundamentally new directions, opening up new research avenues or software architecture practices; * Radically new approaches, techniques, or theories that can bring new results to software architecture research or practice. *Emerging Results*: -------------------- * Not yet fully mature research results, that may lack full validation but that still can stimulate discussions; papers should trigger discussion and raise awareness and reflection on specific topics, in research and/or industrial practice. NEMI papers must clearly motivate and illustrate a rationale for changing current practice and/or research in software architecture. Evaluation results are not required for NEMI papers (but if such results exist, then they may be presented, if only to give the reviewers a feel about the evaluation plan). Strong argumentation and reasoning is expected to inspire the readers. *Scope* -------------------- NEMI provides a forum for innovative, thought-provoking insights in software architecture in order to accelerate the exposure of the community to early and on-going yet promising and potentially inspiring innovations in industry and academia. NEMI papers are not second-class ICSA research track papers. NEMI is a forum for first-class contributions that provide novel, soundly motivated directions and emerging results in research and practice. In principle, the track addresses the same topics of interest as those of the technical paper track. However, NEMI authors are encouraged to combine these topics in new ways, to establish connections to other fields outside of classical software architecture, push the boundaries of software architecture to new avenues, as well as to argue for the importance of software architecture research and practice in areas not explicitly listed. *Out of scope* -------------------- A NEMI submission should not be just incremental results on existing research, nor disguised advertisements for previously published results, products, tools or methods, or experience reports. ICSA 2019 has several tracks and workshops where such works can be submitted. *Evaluation* -------------------- All submissions will be evaluated in terms of the following criteria: * Value: the problem is worth exploring, ideally real world use-inspired. * Impact: the potential for disruption of current practice and/or research; * Originality: new insights or ideas/visions; * Rationale: soundness of the justification, reasoning and argumentation; * Evaluation: appropriate consideration of relevant literature and/or research evaluation to demonstrate originality, arguments and limitations; * Quality: overall manuscript quality. *Formatting and submission Instructions* -------------------- All NEMI submissions must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-i nstructions/index.html, and must not exceed *four pages*, including all text, references, appendices, and figures. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to NEMI papers. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the NEMI EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019nemi, by the submission deadline. Submissions must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for ICSA 2019 NEMI track.. Note that in addition to an oral plenary presentation at the conference, authors of accepted papers may also bring a poster describing their work to further showcase their work to a broader ICSA audience. For more information please contact the NEMI track chairs through the email contact address <mailto:icsa2019nemi@easychair.org> mailto:icsa2019nemi@easychair.org *Publication* -------------------- All accepted technical track contributions will be published in ICSA 2019 Companion proceedings, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. *Software Architecture in Practice* ============================== The ICSA Software Architecture in Practice (SAIP) Track provides practitioners and researchers a platform to present and discuss the most recent innovations and findings in the field of software architecture by means of experience reports and talks. Topics of interest are the same as for the ICSA 2019 Technical Track. *Types of Submissions and Publication* -------------------- We solicit the following types of submissions: *SW Architecture in Practice papers* (4-8 pages) address industry-relevant software architecture problems through systematic investigations. Full papers may describe industry-relevant experience and best practices. Successful applications of research ideas in industrial settings are welcomed as well as negative results that rigorously describe why a research approach cannot be applied. Empirical analyses of industry-relevant software architecture issues may help both practitioners and researchers. The evaluation criteria are potential impact, repeatability, and real-world focus. An extensive discussion of the context in which the result was obtained is useful to transfer an approach to other contexts. Full papers will appear in the ICSA Companion proceedings. *Technical talk proposals* (2 pages) must feature current trends in the industry on the practice of software architecture presenting ideas that are both inspirational and informative. Proposals should make clear why the talk is interesting to ICSA SAIP attendees. Each accepted talk will be of 30 minutes duration. Extended abstracts of the accepted talks will appear in the ICSA Companion proceedings. *Formatting and Submission Instructions* -------------------- All submissions must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-i nstructions/index.html. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to SAIP papers. All papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019saip, and must not have been published before. For more information please contact the SAIP track chairs through the email contact address mailto:icsa2019saip@easychair.org *Tool Demonstrations* ============================== The ICSA 2019 Tool Demonstrations track provides researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent innovations and findings in the field of software architecture by means of live tool presentations. We distinguish two categories of tool demo submissions addressing any aspect of tool support to help software architects, researchers, and practitioners: *Tools used in practice*, either from commercial vendors or open-source projects. These demonstrations should focus on practical applications within the different activities of software architecting and should particularly show how they advance the current state of the practice. New ideas and features are particularly welcome. *Research tools* from academic or industrial research environments. These demonstrations are intended to highlight underlying scientific contributions and show how scientific approaches have been transferred into a working tool. Both categories may range from early prototypes to in-house or pre-commercialized products. Authors of regular ICSA papers are also welcome to submit an accompanying tool paper by adding information regarding the actual demo as an appendix, as described further under submission requirements. We especially appreciate tool demos in line with the theme of ICSA 2019, which is "Architectures to interconnect Services and Systems" - leveraging advances like cross-functional and cross-national teams, scaling research to industry scale problems, bridging customer-developer divides, and working in an 'intelligent connected' world. Of course tool demos on other topics of Software Architecture are welcome too. *Submission Requirements* -------------------- Submissions of papers for tool demonstrations must: * Have a maximum length of 4 pages, describing the technology or approach, how it relates to other industrial or research efforts, including references, and what the expected benefits are. * Have an appendix of maximum 2 pages (not included in the page count) that provides a brief description of how the presentation will be conducted, information on tool availability, maturity and the web-page for the tool (if one exists). * Clearly state the tool category: in-practice or research. * Must conform to the Author Instructions https://swk-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~icsa2019/call-for-papers/author-i nstructions/index.html. No double-blind, but single-blind review will apply to tool demo track submissions. * Are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019tool, and must not have been published before. Optionally, the submission can be accompanied with a video (maximum length of 5 minutes) in high resolution. In this case, a link to a page where the video can be viewed needs to be included in the appendix. Note that the video is not mandatory, but if it is available, it will be used to the benefit of the evaluation of the submission. Tool demos papers and accompanying artifacts will go through a peer review process and accepted papers will be included in the IEEE companion proceedings. For more information please contact the track organizers through the contact address icsa2019tool(a)easychair.org *Early Career Researchers Submissions* ============================== The goal of the Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF-ICSA 2019) is to inspire and bring together early career researchers in the field of software architecture. This forum provides a vibrant place for discussing potential and ongoing research at any stage, from ideas to results. This forum strives to provide a friendly environment for early career researchers to present their research proposals and early results, and get feedbacks and inspirations from experienced researchers. This forum stimulates interactions between early career researchers and experienced academic and industry members of the community by offering a two-stage submission process that will enable early career researchers to obtain feedbacks on their submissions. *Participation* -------------------- Participation is open to research candidates (PhD or Masters), industrial researchers or recent PhD graduates who want to share and improve their research in the field of software architecture. *Submission and Process* -------------------- The submission shall be a written report of between 6-8 pages. The format of the submission shall be in IEEE format (see Author Instructions).

A selection will take place based on the quality and potential of the research and its relevance to Software Architecture. Selected submissions will be accepted for publications and talks in the ECRF forum. *Publication* -------------------- Submissions that are selected by the program committee members will be invited to publish in the ICSA 2019 Companion Proceedings. *Presentation and Discussion* -------------------- All early career researchers who have their submissions accepted must present in the ECRF-ICSA 2019. The chairs of ECRF reserve the rights not to publish the paper of an absentee. A researcher shall have 15 minutes to present their research and research agenda. Experienced researchers shall provide feedbacks and facilitate discussions. *Workshop Proposals* ============================== ICSA 2019 workshops provide a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present, learn, discuss and explore the latest experiences, challenges, trends and emerging R&D results in the field of software architecture. A workshop is not a mini-conference. The goal of workshops is to provide a forum for participants to engage in intensive discussion and explore the topic from different perspectives. Workshops can be half-day or one-day events. Potential topics for workshops are the same as, but not limited to, those of the ICSA 2019 Technical track. Workshop chairs are responsible for submission and selection of papers. Submissions must follow the IEEE Computer Science proceedings format, as workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Digital Library. Workshop organizers may allow for different types of contributions (e.g., short and long papers), but a workshop paper should not exceed a maximum of 8 pages in IEEE format. *Formatting and Submission Instructions* -------------------- All workshop proposals must conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.htm l). Proposals must be written in English and not exceed 4 pages in length. They are submitted through the Easychair submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsa2019ws by the proposal submission deadline. Proposals should contain: 1. Motivation and objectives of the workshop * Title and acronym of the workshop * Motivation and objectives of the workshop topic (not exceeding 500 words) (Note: If your workshop is accepted then this description will be used as early publicity.) * A more detailed discussion of the anticipated outcomes of the workshop (e.g., open research problems to pursue, validation objectives, empirical studies, why the topic needs to be explored in a workshop setting etc.) * Information about previous editions of the same workshop (if any) * Potential connection with other ICSA events (if any) 2. Workshop format and needed services * What will be the format and timings for the workshop? (e.g., position talks, keynotes, breakout sessions, panel discussions, experiments, paper presentation and discussion,or a combination thereof) * What are the requirements in terms of rooms, equipment, and support staff? (e.g., do you need special room layout or assistance from student volunteers?) 3. Target audience * What backgrounds should the workshop attendees have? * What is the range (min, max) for number of attendees for the workshop? * What mix of industry and research participants is being sought? * Please outline a strong and proactive publicity plan, including information about the expected number and type of contributions and the initial acceptance rate. * Who are the potential Keynote speakers? In particular can you attract keynote speakers from from industry? 4. Workshop contributions and evaluation * What types of contribution are being solicited for the workshop? (e.g., full papers, position papers, posters, demos, experiments, or other interactive sessions) * What type of evaluation process will be used? 5. Workshop duration and timetable * Indicate if you plan for a half-day or a full-day workshop and provide a timetable for the structure of the event 6. Organizers and program committee * Names and bios of organizers * List of the potential program committee members 7. Draft call for papers for the workshop (a one page call for papers that you intend to send out if your workshop is accepted) *Evaluation Criteria* -------------------- Workshop proposals will be reviewed in a separate evaluation process from research papers. Acceptance will be based on: * evaluation of the workshop's potential to advance the state of research and/or practice or bridging disciplines, between research and practice; * timeliness and expected interest in the topic; * relevance to the conference topics (See the topics of interest in the ICSA 2019 conference site); * the potential for attracting an appropriate number of participants; * organizers' ability to lead a successful workshop and attract contributors; * balance and synergy with other ICSA events. A workshops may be canceled or merged with others after the early registration deadline if too few participants have registered to make the event viable. For more information please contact the ICSA2019 workshop chairs through this email contact address mailto:icsa2019ws@easychair.org *Tutorials* ============================== Tutorials at the International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2019) provide a valuable opportunity for conference participants to expand their knowledge and skills in specific research topics under the umbrella of software architecture. Tutorials will be held before the main ICSA 2019 conference in half-day or full-day sessions (25th and 26th of April, 2019).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CfP: WI2019 - Track "Umweltinformatik und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften" Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2018 09:11:44 +0200 From: Alexander Boden <bogenfreund(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Alexander Boden <bogenfreund(a)gmail.com> To: fb-mci(a)lists.gi.de, fgcscw(a)gi-ev.de, fg-mi(a)lists.gi.de, wi(a)lists.kit.edu (Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen.) 2nd Call for Papers für den WI2019-Track “Umweltinformatik und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften” 14. 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.

The business goal is to ensure the smooth completion of end-to-end transactions and reduce vulnerabilities. More and more people are looking at a new technology - Blockchain. A blockchain – originally blockchain – is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block contains typically a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. As a promising technique to achieve decentralized consensus, Blockchain helps achieve benefits critical to enterprises and create extraordinary opportunities for businesses to come together in new ways. Particularly in finance, it has been successfully applied to digital cryptocurrencies and Blockchain-based systems have received significant attention in both academia and industry. Book co-editors intend to invite experts and successful case participating members to contribute discussions on topics related to performance, benchmarking, durability, robustness, as well data gathering and management, algorithms, analytics techniques for transactions processing and implementation of applications. * Topics Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theories of blockchain and its evolution - Applications with blockchain technique - Protocols and algorithms based on blockchain - Smart contract and distributed ledger - Blockchain and Bitcoin security - Distributed consensus and fault tolerance mechanisms - Blockchain schemes for decentralization - Security, privacy and trust management, and performance optimization of blockchain and decentralized schemes - Attacks on blockchain based systems - Blockchain-based lightweight data structures for IoT data - Blockchain-based IoT security solutions - Blockchain in CPS, social networking, crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, 5G, edge and cloud computing - Lightweight clients and simple payment verification in Bitcoin * Proposal submission A proposal for a book chapter is needed from prospective authors before the proposal *submission due date*, describing the objective, scope, and structure of the proposed chapter (no more than 5 pages).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers/Speakers/Panelists: Dara Science and Blockchain (DSBC2018) Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 20:46:39 +0000 From: Woo, Carson <Carson.Woo(a)sauder.ubc.ca> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers, Speakers, and Panelists Data Science & Blockchain (DSBC2018) Workshop http://www.nwpu-bioinformatics.com/ER2018/file/DSBC2018%20workshop%20CFP-A.… Autonomous (and semi-autonomous) systems such as drones and driverless cars start to play more and more important roles in military and our daily lives. How to develop high quality software for (semi-) autonomous systems and prevent cyber-attacks has become a major concern of both the research community and industries. It is a consensus that high quality software and cyber defense will greatly enhance the survivability of the autonomous systems and the human operators/passengers. Many experts also claim: using decision science/AI/machine learning techniques will result in better (semi-) autonomous systems. In the same time, there is significant interest in exploring a relatively new technique -- blockchain, which may play an increasingly important role in many areas. We believe the recent R&D efforts of data science, blockchain, and DevOps techniques will significantly change the way of (semi-) autonomous system design, operation, and management. The DSBC (Data Science & Blockchain) workshop will be held on October 22 - 25, 2018 in Xi'an, China (co-located with ER2018 Conference). The focus of this workshop is to identify promising research directions for applying data science, blockchain, and DevOps techniques in the design and development of the preferred but not limited to (semi-) autonomous systems. The relationship between these techniques and conceptual modeling will also be explored. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Data Science: - New algorithms for extracting embedded conceptual models (entities and relationships) from bigdata - Data science techniques for (Semi-) Autonomous System Design - Blockchain: - Theories, protocols, and algorithms of blockchain - Conceptual Models of Blockchain - Security and privacy of Blockchain - Performance evaluation/optimization of Blockchain - Real-life applications of blockchain - DevOps - Frameworks and conceptual models of DevOps - Sec DevOps - DevOps for (Semi-) Autonomous Systems Workshop Chairs: - Peter Chen, Carnegie Mellon University, USA, PeterChen(a)cmu.edu - Carson Woo, University of British Columbia, Canada, Carson.Woo(a)sauder.ubc.ca Program Committee Members: - Arne Solvberg, NTNU, Norway - Rong Chang, IBM Research - Oscar Paster, Universitat Polit¨¨cnica de Val¨¨ncia, Spain - Hasan Yasar, Software Engineering Institute, CMU, USA - Heinrich C.
