Queiroz, University of São Paulo, Brazil Professor Ashley Braganza, Brunel Business School, UK Dr Cameron Guthrie, Toulouse Business School, France Recent cutting-edge technologies such as big data analytics, internet of things (IoT), smart factories and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the way people acquire and consume goods, firms manufacture and deliver produce, and logistics networks and society interact (Bibby & Dehe, 2018; Gölzer & Fritzsche, 2017). Together, these new concepts and technologies are said to usher in a Fourth Industrial Revolution (Schwab, 2017), or Industry 4.0 (Fatorachian & Kazemi, 2018). Business models and logistics production systems need to adapt to the new dynamics of production and consumption. The ubiquity of smartphones and apps is drastically changing the customer experience and expectations, allowing individuals to participate in various stages of the production process. For example, the combination of digital manufacturing, mobile and augmented reality technologies allow customers to provide feedback in a co-creation process (Mourtzis, Gargallis, & Zogopoulos, 2019), while IoT, sensors and data analytics enable the continuous collection of usage data throughout the entire product lifecycle. These new modes of relationship are already impacting the work of operations and supply chain managers. One of the most promising technologies for contemporary operations and supply chain management (OSCM) is artificial intelligence. AI emerged in the 1960s as "the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men" (Minsky, 1968). Today, a new generation of AI is being used to work on a vast array of issues including product recommendations and customisation, dynamic pricing, real-time production tracking, prevention of order shipment delays and inventory shortages, customer feedback collection for product development and supplier monitoring to minimise procurement costs (Syam & Sharma, 2018). In addition, a subset of AI known as machine learning is developing methods, (e.g. regression analysis, specific algorithms) and associated technologies (e.g. sensors, APIs) that allow computer systems to "learn" using historical data and act without human intervention. AI can also potentially be combined with Industry 4.0 cutting-edge technologies, such as big data analytics, blockchain, internet of things and cyber-physical systems. The use of AI "in supply chain ecosystems [...] in combination with human behaviour will create a new degree of intelligence, innovation, and collaboration" in organizations (Bienhaus & Haddud, 2018). Today's operations and supply chain managers need to gain a better understanding about how AI can be applied to OSCM problems. The use of AI applications within an OSCM context presents considerable managerial and organizational challenges. For example, in the adoption stage managers need to identify the requisite capabilities and potential obstacles to successful AI implementation. The potential impact of AI on operations management, production planning and control, productivity and performance also need to be investigated. Managers need to understand how AI initiatives affect the interplay of business, logistics and production systems at individual, organisational and supply chain levels. For example, AI can support individual worker's activities by performing repetitive tasks: AI commanded robots can audit manufacturing processes; robots can minimize the idleness of production systems when integrated with customers and suppliers; and AI can be used for predictive maintenance when combined with IoT and machine learning. Behind each opportunity lies a challenge for managers to successfully capture the benefits from AI. Little is known for instance about the contribution of AI driven robots to production systems. From an operations management perspective, a major challenge is how to use AI to gain insights for demand forecasting and production planning. More research is required into: strategies of AI use within organizations for existing OSCM problems (e.g. production planning and control, demand forecasting, operations management optimisation, distribution management); the impact of AI on production processes throughout the value chain; the drivers, enablers and obstacles to AI adoption and use; the development of new business models; and into the implications of AI for operations management practice. This special issue aims to explore the role of AI in OSCM, and especially how AI creates value in a digital age when combined with other Industry 4.0 cutting-edge technologies. Our objective is to stimulate research and debate both around how managers are using or could use AI to improve OSCM practice and performance, and create competitive advantage, as well as the enablers and inhibitors to adoption, integration and use. This special issue invites scholars, managers and practitioners to use case studies or other empirical methods to report in-depth on AI applications in operations and supply chain management. This special issue calls for contributions to: * In-depth cases reporting on AI technology implementation challenges and benchmarks in operations and SCM; * Case studies reporting AI adoption in logistics and production systems. What are the facilitators and barriers? * The impact and benefits provided by AI technologies in operations and SCM; * Case studies reporting on the organisational capabilities (management, technological) required to support successful AI project implementation; * Productivity and performance improvements in production planning and control through AI; * How can managers use AI applications to capture benefits, efficiency, productivity and value using customer product feedback? * How can robots in manufacturing and logistics activities be employed to improve productivity and performance? What is the role of robots in a production system? * Novel conceptual models and ways of theorising about AI, operations and SCM; * Are extant theories sufficient to explain the adoption and spread of AI or what new theories are required for AI in OSCM? * The link between AI and the innovation improvement capacity of an organisation's logistics and production systems; * The contribution of AI to knowledge and learning in logistics and production systems; * Barriers and benefits related to the integration of AI technologies across the supply chain; * How is AI impacting the decision-making process in logistics and production systems? What are the consequences for the management learning and knowledge? * Frameworks to explain AI implementation in operations and SCM contexts; * Frameworks and case studies to explain the adoption and use of AI combined with other cutting-edge technologies in operations and SCM contexts; · The effects of AI on business models. How are business models changing with the adoption of AI and related technologies? What changes do new business models bring to operations management? · The critical success factors in AI diffusion stages in operations and SCM. Papers concerning these and other related critical issues in operations and supply chain challenges are encouraged. The special issue aims to sharpen the focus on, and raise the awareness of these critical issues, especially those facing developing economies as well as advanced industrial economies, and to promote research, both theoretical and empirical, on specific digitalisation related problems and innovative practices to address these problems.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in IS @ ECIS'2020 Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 12:59:28 +0000 From: Rossi Matti <matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi> To: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Zachariadis, Markos <Markos.Zachariadis(a)wbs.ac.uk> Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in IS track CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS’2020 European Conference on Information Systems, June 15-17, 2020, Marrakech, Morocco https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/ Call for Contributions Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies challenge prevailing myths concerning supremacy of centralised computing architectures and offer new opportunities for developing radically new transactional digital services for private and public sector. Not only does blockchain have the potential to offer new transparency, but also to reduce the time for settlement and finalization, which is important in the context of title transfers, securities trading and so on. At the same time, the new technology architecture has been criticised as being ‘unnecessary’ or ‘unfit’ to deal with real issues in finance and beyond, especially due to its weak governance arrangements in ‘permissionless’ platforms and issues around transparency and irreversibility of transactions which can be challenging in the context of payments. We are especially interested on research related to the new peerless platforms and distributed autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their effect on business ecosystems as well research that follows up whether and how anticipated commercial success materializes and is measured. Answering these questions is pivotal from the perspectives of business research and policy making. TOPICS Topics for this track include, but are not limited to the following: · Novel approaches to development of blockchain applications · New application areas of blockchain · Blockchain and other open platform technologies, such as Ethereum, Hyperledger and Corda · Blockchain platform governance and standards · Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Libra) · ICOs · Smart contracts · DAOs · Emerging blockchain ecosystem analyses · Other emergent payment and transaction platforms · Blockchain development methods · Permissionless and permissioned architectures · Permissioning of nodes · Traditional databases and blockchains · Tokenization and token-based economy TRACK CHAIRS Matti Rossi, Aalto University, Helsinki Markos Zachariadis, Warwick Business School, University of Warwick, United Kingdom Juho Lindman, University of Gothenburg, Sweden ASSOCIATE EDITORS David Noble Horst Treiblmaier Enrico Rossi Garrick Hileman Grace Fox Michel Avital Rikard Lindgren Erol Kazan Johan Magnusson IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: November 29, 2019 Notification of acceptance: End of February, 2020 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES https://ecis2020.ma/call-for-papers-and-panels/ Matti Rossi Professor of Information Systems Science Aalto University School of Business Department of Information and Service Management P.O.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BPM 2020 Call for Workshop Proposals Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 10:34:55 +0100 From: Cristina Cabanillas Macías <ccabanillasmacias(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 18th International Business Process Management Conference (BPM 2020) Sevilla (Spain), September 13-18, 2020 https://congreso.us.es/bpm2020/ == CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS == BPM 2020 is the 18th conference in a series that provides the most prestigious forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of Business Process Management (BPM). The conference has a record of attracting innovative research of highest quality related to all aspects of business process management, including theories, frameworks, methods, techniques, architectures, and empirical findings. BPM 2020 will take place in Seville, Spain. BPM 2020 is soliciting proposals for one-day or half-day workshops to be held before the main conference. Workshops facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among active researchers and stimulate discussions on new and emerging perspectives in line with the conference topics. Workshops may focus on specific research topics or be devoted to applications or standardization issues. Workshop proposals covering broad topics and that expand the scope of topics and paradigms traditionally represented at the BPM conference series are encouraged. All workshop papers will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). These proceedings will be made available to all registered participants approximately four months after the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be distributed during the workshop. Different criteria will be considered by the workshop chairs for deciding whether or not a proposal is accepted. The workshop proposers should have a strong affinity with the proposed workshop topic and be well connected with experts on that topic. The workshop itself should provide a forum for important, innovative and timely BPM subtopics. The fulfillment of these two criteria should lead to a trustworthy claim to attract more than 10 submissions by workshop proposers. Furthermore, we encourage the workshop proposers to integrate mechanisms in their workshop to stimulate discussion and interaction beyond what is possible in a plenary conference session. Beyond these aspects, the workshop chairs will ensure that the accepted workshops as a whole cover a broad spectrum of the BPM research discipline. To this end, there will be a negotiation phase in which we seek to consolidate and mark off promising workshop proposals that show overlap. The final decision on the acceptance format of a workshop will be made by the general workshop chairs considering the aforementioned criteria and the overall impression of the proposal. With the aim of increasing participation per workshop, both in terms of submissions and attendance, in this edition there will be a more restricted number of accepted workshops that will range between 6 and 7, at the discretion of the general workshop chairs. == SUBMISSIONS == Workshop proposals should include the following elements: * The title of the workshop and an acronym; * An outline of the workshop theme, goals, planned activities, and the intended audience; * An indication of whether the workshop is planned as a full day or a half day event; * The targeted (or past) number of submissions and acceptance rate(s); * The rationale that supports the claim to attract more than 10 submissions; * A brief biography of each workshop organizer; * The activities envisioned to stimulate submissions to the workshop; * The tentative PC and call for papers. Workshop proposals must be submitted as a PDF document to bpm2020-workshops(a)us.es by the deadline indicated below. Any inquiries and requests for additional information about the organization of workshops should be sent to this e-mail address as well. == KEY DATES == * Deadline for submitting workshop proposals: December 2, 2019 * Notification of proposal acceptance, rejection, or invitation to negotiation: December 19, 2019 * Workshop papers submission deadline (tentative): May 29, 2020 * Workshop papers notification deadline (tentative): June 29, 2020 * Workshop camera-ready papers deadline: July 13, 2020 * Workshops: September 14, 2020 == GENERAL WORKSHOP CHAIRS == Henrik Leopold (Kühne Logistics University, Germany) Adela del Río Ortega (University of Seville, Spain) Flavia M. Santoro (University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) == MORE INFORMATION == Contact bpm2020-workshops(a)us.es for more information. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

The work required for this includes, e.g., selecting, summarizing, scheduling, translating, localising, structuring, condensing, enriching, visualizing and explaining the various contents, taking into account the steadily growing speed, volume and number of sources such as online newspapers, news portals, social media, linked data, business information systems, IoT data streams etc. AI, in particular from the field of language and semantic knowledge technologies, are used to support these tasks and thereby accelerate and qualitatively improve them. The conference provides a forum on the use of digital curation technologies in application domains for, e.g., media, journalism, logistics, cultural heritage, health care and life sciences, energy, industry. Of particular relevance are papers that demonstrate the applied use of digital curation technologies and tools in domain-specific use cases and that bridge traditional boundaries between disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Web, data analytics and machine learning, information/content and knowledge management systems, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, and computational linguistics.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] rCFP ECIS 2020 (morocco) : Theme Track:: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity in a Digitizing World: Values and Ethical Perspectives Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 19:27:36 +0000 From: Anil Aggarwal <aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu> To: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues: We invite you to submit your paper to ECIS 2020 in Morrocco to conference theme track Liberty, Equality, Fraternity in a Digitizing World: Values and Ethical Perspectives A call for papers is attached. http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/ECIS_2020.pdf Regards, Anil Aggarwal, University of Baltimore, aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu<mailto:aaggarwal@ubalt.edu> 'Hari' Harindranath Royal Holloway, University of London, G.Harindranath(a)rhul.ac.uk<mailto:G.Harindranath@rhul.ac.uk> Raphael Suire, Nantes University, suire(a)univ-nantes.fr<mailto:raphael.suire@univ-nantes.fr> Zheng Yingqin Royal Holloway, University of London, Zheng(a)rhul.ac.uk<mailto:Yingqin.Zheng@rhul.ac.uk> CALL for Papers ECIS 2020 June 15-17 Marrakesh Morocco Conference Theme Track: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity in a Digitizing World: Values and Ethical Perspectives https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/ We invite quality papers for the conference Theme track. High quality papers will be fast tracked for publication in the Journal of Information Technology (JIT). Paper submission Open: Until November 29, 2019 (please check: https://ecis2020.ma/paper-submission/) Track Description The rapid technological advances in the digital era have had profound and paradoxical impact on modern societies. Digital technology is a disruptive force that simultaneously enhances and challenges long-cherished and fundamental human values such as liberty, equality and fraternity (Rowe, 2018). The enhanced visibility on digital platforms that represent freedom of expression, representation, connectivity and collective action is at once generating enormous risks associated with privacy, trust, solidarity and the emergence of surveillance capitalism. The extensive digitization that has transformed our social and work lives also raises significant ethical questions such as workplace surveillance, the right to disconnect, big data profiling, and calls for responsible research and innovation. Robotics, artificial intelligence and automation will have substantial impact on the future of work and on human development. The scale, scope and speed of digitization has not been matched by similar advances in ethical, regulatory and legal frameworks. Fake news is making it complex to filter fact from fiction, good from bad and real from artificial creating doubts about the authenticity of digitization. The organisational and societal implications of our digitizing world are far reaching and multifaceted. The relentless march of digitization and data capitalism raise a myriad of moral, ethical, philosophical, socio-economic and political implications that need to be addressed by IS researchers. This conference theme track, therefore, seeks to examine how digital technologies impact human values, particularly at the organisational and societal levels. We seek papers that go beyond behavioural research and use other perspectives such as socio-economic, political, philosophical and ethical to address the interplay between digitization and values. We particularly welcome contributions that use novel theoretical approaches and methods to examine how digitization can or cannot create an inclusive and sustainable world that respects fundamental human values of liberty, equality and fraternity, and where the potential for harm is both understood and addressed. In a digitalized world dominat ed by centralization is there a way to re-decentralize the web and systems? The track invites both completed research papers and research-in-progress papers. Possible Topics Examples of topics include the following (but are not limited to): * e-participation in digitization * Levelling playing field in digital world * Values and ethics in digitization * Trust and distrust in digitization * Collective and societal risks from digitization * Empowerment and exploitation through digitization * Autonomy and agency in digitization * Digitization and social identity * Values for AI, drones and robotics * Philosophical perspectives on digitization * Political, legal and regulatory ramifications of digitization * Ethics theories in digitization * Ethics of digital artefacts * Ethics and morality of digital exclusion * Ethics-washing of digitization * Privacy and surveillance * Fake news and post-truth * Algorithmic control * Future of work * Data justice * Ethics of digital technology * AI and natural intelligence interactions * Tech, law and ethics * Design of design choices * Privacy and dark patterns * Social capital, trust and digitization * Value of peer to peer versus centralization Please contact any of the track chairs for more information.
