Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP FASE 2019 : 22nd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering (Prague, April 8-11, 2019)
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Sep '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP FASE 2019 : 22nd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering (Prague, April 8-11, 2019) Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 17:23:26 +0000 From: van der Aalst, Wil <wvdaalst(a)pads.rwth-aachen.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ************** CfP FASE 2019 ************ 22nd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering Prague, Czechia, April 8-11, 2019 Conference website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/etaps-2019 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fase2019 Abstract registration deadline: November 9, 2018 Submission deadline: November 16, 2018 Author notification: January 25, 2019 Camera ready: February 15, 2019 The International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering is the premier conference concerned with the foundations on which software engineering is built. It is one of the five main European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) taking place in April 2019 in Prague. We welcome innovative contributions making software engineering a more mature discipline based on well-founded principles. Submission Guidelines FASE accepts 3 types of submissions: research papers, regular tool papers and tool demo papers. - Research papers clearly identify and justify a principled advance to the fundamentals of software engineering. Papers should clearly articulate their contribution, and provide sufficient evidence for the validity and applicability of the proposed approach. Research papers that combine the development of conceptual and methodological advances with their formal foundations and tool support are particularly encouraged. Research papers can have a maximum of 15 pp (excluding the bibliography). - Regular tool papers present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a short description of the theoretical foundations with relevant citations, and emphasize the design and implementation concerns, including software architecture. A regular tool paper should give a clear account of the tool's functionality, discuss the tool's practical capabilities with reference to the type and size of problems it can handle, describe experience with realistic case studies, and where applicable, provide a rigorous experimental evaluation. Papers that present extensions to existing tools should clearly focus on the improvements or extensions with respect to previously published versions of the tool, preferably substantiated by data on enhancements in terms of resources and capabilities. Authors are strongly encouraged to make their tools publicly available (in the final version of an accepted paper), preferably on the web; links to tool repositories or other supplementary material may be hidden in the submitted version of a paper, if these links would otherwise endanger the anonymity of the authors. But no extra efforts are expected to disguise the identity of a tool (e.g., renaming the presented tool, moving the tool to another repository). Just reference the tool in your submission in a way that leaves it open whether the submitted tool (or extension, demonstration, etc.) paper has been submitted by the original developers of the tool or a new group of developers or users (if possible). Regular tool papers can have a maximum of 15 pp (excluding the bibliography). - Tool demonstration papers focus on the usage aspects of tools. As with regular tool papers, authors are strongly encouraged to make their tools publicly available, preferably on the web. Theoretical foundations and experimental evaluation are not required, however, a motivation as to why the tool is interesting and significant should be provided. Tool demonstration papers can have a maximum of 6 pp (including bibliography). They should have an appendix of up to 6 additional pages with details on the actual demonstration. List of Topics Contributions that combine the development of conceptual and methodological advances with their formal foundations and tool support are particularly encouraged. We invite contributions on all such fundamental approaches, including: - Software engineering as an engineering discipline, including its interaction with and impact on society and economics; - Requirements engineering: capture, consistency, and change management of software requirements; - Software architectures: description and analysis of the architecture of individual systems or classes of applications; - Specification, design, and implementation of particular classes of systems: (self-)adaptive, collaborative, embedded, distributed, mobile, pervasive, cyber-physical or service-oriented applications; - Software quality: (static or run-time) validation and verification of functional and non-functional software properties using theorem proving, model checking, testing, analysis, simulation, refinement methods, metrics or visualization techniques; - Model-driven development and model transformation: meta-modeling, design and semantics of domain-specific languages, consistency and transformation of models, generative architectures; - Software processes: support for iterative, agile, and open source development; - Software evolution: refactoring, reverse and re-engineering, configuration management and architectural change, or aspect-orientation.

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).

Pavlou, Temple University Raghu T Santanam, Arizona State University "...the main intellectual advances will be made by men and computers working together in intimate association" -- J C R Licklider, 1960. While artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other autonomic technologies are usually in the spotlight, many important problems are often solved through human beings and computers working cooperatively. The design of information systems has to focus as much on Intelligence Augmentation (IA), defined as computers enhancing human intelligence, as it would on Artificial Intelligence (AI), commonly defined as computers replacing human beings. Additionally, recent concerns about AI raised by pioneers like Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk raises major issues related to control in system design.1 IA requires a focus on design that optimally combines the abilities of human beings with various AI technologies and algorithms while keeping the ultimate control of human beings. As such, designers of information systems have to increase their focus on interactions, control, and interface points such that the resulting system is efficient, effective and addresses the issues of appropriate human control. Applications of IA are beginning to emerge in a number of domains such as cybersecurity, counter-terrorism, healthcare, and space exploration, among others. There are also several applications to the design of information systems. This Special Issue of Information Systems Research invites researchers to submit their best work to highlight how they are beginning to seamlessly integrate human and computer intelligence to solve interesting and important problems that impact the future of work, organizations, and broadly society. BACKGROUND In the 1960's, Engelbart and Licklider (both managed research programs at DARPA) pioneered the arguments for "human-computer symbiosis" (Licklider 1960). A fundamental assumption behind the need for human-computer symbiosis is that computers and human brains have different problem-solving capabilities. As such, IA research pursues design ideas that are intended to optimize the combined computational potential of human beings and computers. One branch of IA very familiar to Information Systems researchers is Human Computer Interaction (HCI). One of the pioneers of the HCI approach, Terry Winograd, has commented on the tensions between the AI and the HCI camps, and the associated "rationalistic" and "design" perspectives that they represent (Winograd 2006). Some parts of AI attempted to model human beings as cognitive machines and sought to build human-like AI systems. HCI, on the other hand, focused on a design approach which emphasizes interpretation, human behavior, and experimenta tion. Winograd quotes David Kelley, the renowned design thinker, as saying: "Enlightened trial and error outperforms the planning of flawless intellect", suggesting the importance of iteratively improving by modeling the interaction between humans and AI. However, HCI is not the only perspective to human-computer symbiosis. Large scale computational problems often cannot be solved by either computer or humans alone - such problems are termed "human computation problems" (von Ahn 2008). For instance, crowd-sourcing strategies for many messy large-scale image or character recognition problems fall into this domain. Human computation problems rely on harnessing human processing power (i.e., common sense) to solve problems that computers are not yet good at solving. More interestingly, many early human computation problem-solving approaches have utilized gamification strategies that seem to be very well aligned with the HCI tradition of "design approach." Given the increasing role AI plays in society today, the White House issued an RFI in 2016 to solicit commentaries and feedback on the role of AI for current and future needs of the economy. A report summarizing the responses to the RFI was released recently by the White House.[1] IBM's response to the RFI declared an emphasis on Augmented Intelligence in IBM's approach to AI - "We call our particular approach to augmented intelligence "cognitive computing." Cognitive computing is a comprehensive set of capabilities based on technologies such as machine learning, reasoning and decision technologies; language, speech and vision technologies; human interface technologies; distributed and high-performance computing; and new computing architectures and devices. When purposefully integrated, these capabilities are designed to solve a wide range of practical problems, boost productivity, and foster new discoveries across many industries[2]." In contrast, Google's approach to AI, especially its search engine design, is also arguably more in the tradition of IA than AI. SPECIAL ISSUE FOCUS Recent developments in hardware, sensor and networking technologies combined with significant growth in Internet of Things (IOT) devices has increased interested in combining them with AI technologies to develop completely autonomous systems, such as driverless cars. The design of these systems poses unique technical, organizational, societal, and ethical questions. The human-computer symbiosis has potential to address some of these difficult issues. IS researchers (including many authors in ISR) have embraced both AI and IA traditions. Recent publications in ISR have revived both the design and rational schools of thoughts in research papers, notes and commentaries (see for example, Gregory and Muntermann (2014); Dhar et al., (2014); Clarke et al., (2016); and Meyer et al., (2014)). However, there is still a lack of coherent discussion and an integrated body of literature on the direct implications of how IA and AI research can contribute to organizational and societal applications and to their impact on the future of work. This Special Issue of Information Systems Research is intended to begin a new dialog on the potential synergies between IA and AI within the context of IS research. Given the long tradition of IS researchers to cross-disciplinary boundaries, we are confident of attracting a large number of high-quality submissions that will highlight the prevailing knowledge and research endeavors in the discipline and beyond . We hope to showcase the best research in this domain as part of this Special Issue. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design approaches for effectively combining human and computer cognitive power. - Applications and evaluation of human-computer symbiosis in various industry sectors, including healthcare, education, finance, cybersecurity, and transportation, among others. - Generalizable modeling innovations and applications that bridge IA and AI concepts. - Evaluation of theoretical predictions on how human beings and computers collaborate in solving large-scale computational problems. - Social, behavioral, and economic implications of AI and IA, including how they may impact the nature and future of work, productivity, jobs, and industries. - Theoretical predictions and evaluations of legal, policy, governance and business models associated with applications of AI and IA systems in various industries and markets. - Issues related to human control in the design of IA systems.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IEEE Software - Theme Issue on Sentiment and Emotion in Software Engineering
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IEEE Software - Theme Issue on Sentiment and Emotion in Software Engineering Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 09:25:15 +0000 From: Serebrenik, A. <a.serebrenik(a)tue.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> [Apologies for cross-posting] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Software Theme Issue on Sentiment and Emotion in Software Engineering: Call for Papers https://publications.computer.org/software-magazine/2018/07/18/sentiment-em… Submission deadline: 1 Feb. 2019 Publication: Sept./Oct. 2019 Over the past decade, research has shown the affective states’ impact on work performance and team collaboration. This also applies to software engineering, which involves people in a broad range of activities in which personality, moods, and emotions play a crucial role. Software development is a mainly intellectual activity requiring creativity and problem-solving skills, which are known to be influenced by affective states. For successful software engineering projects, stakeholders need to experience positive emotions, agree on emotion display rules, and be mutually committed to the project goals. Conversely, negative affective states (such as resentment or frustration) might be an obstacle when stakeholders react to undesirable facts (for example, negative customer feedback). Such states can also impact the cognitive processes involved in learning a new language, solving tasks with high reasoning complexity, and performing the usual programming and code comprehension tasks. Finally, software engineering involves numerous social interactions, as programmers often need to cooperate with others, whether directly or indirectly. Developers’ awareness of the project mood and of how their communication style reflects their affective state might help them become wise in teamwork, thus improving the outcome of collaborative development. So, researchers have recently started studying the role of affective computing and affective states in software engineering. This theme issue of IEEE Software aims to share with practitioners the current trends and recent advances in research and practice and the latest tools and frameworks for supporting and enhancing emotion awareness in software development. We invite practice-oriented papers covering any aspect of sentiment and emotion awareness in software engineering. We aim to cover a rich variety of topics, focusing on issues, challenges, methods, and practices related to the role of emotions in software development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, * the impact of affective states (emotions, moods, attitudes, and personality traits) on individual and group performance; * the role of emotions in collaborative software development; * leveraging stakeholders’ affective feedback to improve software, tools, and processes; * design, development, and evaluation of tools and datasets for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering; * reusable software frameworks, APIs, and patterns for affect-aware systems; * ethnographic approaches to affect monitoring in software development; * mining sentiment and emotion from developers’ communication traces; * sentiment and emotion detection from biometrics; * methodologies and tools for large-scale emotion mining; * emotion awareness in requirements engineering, software design, and software management; * emotion awareness in software design philosophies, development practices, and tools; * emotion awareness in cross-cultural teams in global software development; and * methodologies and standards. In addition to regular-length articles, we seek short experience reports. These reports don’t need to make a research contribution. Instead, they should present the experiences of practitioners or tool developers, sharing their practical experience and insights and focusing on the challenges faced, solutions attempted, and results obtained.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP – Scandinavian workshop on egovernment
by Gustaf Neumann 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP – Scandinavian workshop on egovernment Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 10:18:47 +0000 From: Marius Rohde Johannessen <Marius.Johannessen(a)usn.no> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 16th Scandinavian Workshop on E-Government (SWEG) will be held 30-31 January 2019 at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), campus Vestfold. SWEG is a forum for discussing current eGovernment research issues. The workshop is dedicated to open and creative discussions about the current status of eGovernment research and future directions. The focus is thus on informal discussion rather than on formal conference presentations. For SWEG 2019, we have (as always) a general theme of eGovernment and eParticipation research, welcoming contributions focusing on a wide area of topics. The focus areas of invited submissions thus include, but are not limited to: * eGovernment and privacy issues in relation to GDPR * Welfare technologies in the public sector * Automation of processes in public administration * Values; co-creation of value, public values, value hierarchies * E-Archives, recordkeeping and archival management * Sustainability in eGovernment * Big data in eGovernment * Smart cities * Social media and eGovernment services * Open data and open innovation in eGovernment * Open-source and open standards solutions in eGovernment * Users and citizens in design, management, and implementation of eGovernment * Transparency and openness in eGovernment services * Digital transformation vs digitization * EGovernment evaluation (risk evaluation, decisions support systems and benefit evaluation) * Methodological reflections * Theoretical reflections (such as the relationship of eGovernment with the wider IS research area and other reference disciplines such as political science, sociology, and media and communication) We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines, such as public administration, political science, information systems, knowledge management, service management, economics, sociology, and law. Research may range from empirical studies to pure conceptual work. Each submission will be anonymously peer-reviewed by two reviewers recruited among the researchers that submit papers to the workshop. By submitting a paper to SWEG, you agree to review up to two papers. The workshop is intended as a venue for discussion and feedback, so we invite full research papers, work-¬in-¬progress, as well as shorter position papers. Each paper will be allocated time for a short presentation; however discussion should be the main focus of the allotted time for each paper. Position papers should be maximum 1500 words (approx. 4 pages), and should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to e-¬government research including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies. Full papers should be max 7000 words, while research in progress should be max 3000 words. Irrespective of the form, all submissions should be designed to support in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the workshop. It might be a good idea to present some questions/issues for discussion if you have specific areas of the paper you want to discuss. Contributions with a focus on Scandinavian countries are welcome, but the forum is not limited to the Scandinavian research community and aims at including a wide variety of perspectives on e-government research. As in previous SWEG, instead of publishing proceedings formally, we will use this workshop to prepare papers for publication in established outlets. Consequently, material presented at SWEG will not be copyright protected and can be submitted to other conferences or journals without further questions. Important dates * Submissions due: November 25, 2018 * Notification of acceptance: December 14, 2017 * Registration due: January 11, 2019 * Workshop: 30-31 January 2019 Submit your paper in PDF format to: sweg19usn(a)gmail.com<mailto:sweg19usn@gmail.com> Visit the SWEG 2019 web site<https://www.usn.no/activities/scandinavian-workshop-on-egovernment-article2…> Local organizers The 2019 workshop is organized by: Marius Rohde Johannessen<mailto:mj@usn.no> Lasse Berntzen<mailto:lasse.berntzen@usn.no> Workshop standing committee – Karin Axelsson, Linköping University<mailto:karin.axelsson@liu.se> Arild Jansen, University of Oslo<http://arildj@jus.uio.no> Katarina L Gidlund, Mid Sweden University<mailto:katarina.l.gidlund@miun.se> Rony Medaglia, Copenhagen Business School<http://rony@cbs.dk> Samuli Pekkola, Tampere University of Technology<mailto:samuli.pekkola@tut.fi> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
