-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP - 6th WebAndTheCity ACM International Workshop – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 10:14:11 +0200 From: Leonidas Anthopoulos <lanthopo(a)teilar.gr> Reply-To: Leonidas Anthopoulos <lanthopo(a)teilar.gr> Organization: University of Thessaly, Greece To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-posts) ----------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 6th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities In conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW’20): 30th World Wide Web International Conference, Taipei, April 21, 2020 http://webandthecity.home.blog/ Important Dates ------------------------- Submissions due: Jan 20, 2020 (23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone) Notification of Acceptance: Jan. 31, 2020 Camera-ready version due: Feb. 17, 2020 Workshop authors’ registration and camera-ready papers: Feb. 17, 2020 Workshop day: April 21, 2020 Workshop Objective ---------------------------- This is the 6th edition of the workshop series with the label “Web Applications and Smart Cities” (previous name: AW4City), which started back in Florence in 2015 and kept on taking place every year in conjunction with the WWW conference series. Last year the workshop was in San Francisco during The Web Conference 2019. The workshop series aim to investigate the role of the Web and of Web applications in smart city growth. This year, the workshop changes its label to “WebAndTheCity” and expands its scope beyond typical web applications and Apps, with the inclusion of Web Intelligence that enables self-evolving smart services in SC: services that vary from typical government transactions and petitions, to mobility applications (e.g., parking and route location) and to smart living apps (e.g., transact with buildings) can utilize machine learning and data in order to self-evolve, adapt to citizen needs and even transform to custom and more efficient and effective. WebAndTheCity aims at gathering researchers from the fields of SC that are related to this year’s conference topics, to think about the obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of SC trends with regard to the WWW role (web-based, Apps, platforms and web intelligence). Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the “big picture” of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop. WebAndTheCity is timely since the SC emerges rapidly with the contribution of all the scientific fields, while ISO37120 and ISO37122 attempt to certify and measure the performance of SC services. Last but not least, customer satisfaction from SC services is being measured real-time with corresponding data collection. All these issues are being supported by data, the Web, Apps and recently with AI and it is important to focus on future achievements. Additionally, an increasing criticism is that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local governments with big technological vendors. Articles can deliver a clearer view of smart city reality, while innovative applications can strengthen the existence of opportunities for new entrants in the SC market. We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions’ or apps’ development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the research communities. Standards for web applications’ development in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to): • Enhancing citizen and visitor experience with Web Applications and Services, especially controlled by AI; • Apps and services that support mobility, sharing, crowd-sourcing etc.; • Smart City platforms (e.g. parking; traffic management; environment etc.); • Smart and Self evolving services (e.g. self-responsive government services); • Practices of Web applications, Apps and AI in smart cities; • Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards; • Creative partnerships, creative industries and industry 4.0 in Smart City with a focus on application development and AI (Internet Economics and Monetization); • Pervasive Web for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., user behavior analytics, energy, water, waste, transportation etc.) • The role of city stakeholders for smart city applications development and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data); • Web Infrastructure and AI service standardization; • The role of standards on smart city data mining; • Smart city information quality and evolution in social content; • Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications and Apps. Submission ------------------------------------- We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers. Full papers should be up to 10 pages long, including the abstract and appendices. Discussion papers may be short (up to 6 pages), but should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to Smart City research including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies.

The goal of DCPerf is to promote a community-wide discussion to identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable performance optimizations. Submissions on any topics of datacenter, cloud and bigdata performance are welcome. Submission site will remain open until Jan. 8th, 2020. Cloud data centers are the backbone infrastructure for tomorrow's information technology. Their advantages are efficient resource provisioning and low operational costs for supporting a wide range of computing needs, be it in business, scientific or mobile/pervasive environments. Because of the rapid growth in user-defined and user-generated applications and content, the range of services provided at data centers will expand tremendously and unpredictably. Particularly, big data applications and services, e.g., social and environmental sensing, and IoT monitoring, present a unique class of challenges in the Cloud. In addition, the high volume of mixed workloads and the diversity of services offered render the performance optimization of data centers even more challenging. Moreover, important optimization criteria, such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs, are often conflicting. The increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas adds another dimension to optimizing big data and cloud applications. The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems for hosting big data analytics in the cloud. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Big data applications and services - Emerging IoT applications - Data flow management - Processing platforms - Empirical studies - Cloud systems - Novel architectures - Resource allocation - Content distribution - Evaluation/modeling methodology - Big data and cloud performance - Cost/pricing design - Power/energy management - Reliability/dependability - Performance evaluation/modeling - Big data in the cloud - Intra/Inter communication - Network protocols - Security - Real-time analytics Important Dates: Paper Registration and Abstract Submission: Jan. 8th, 2020 Full Paper Submission: Jan. 15th, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 15th, 2020 Final Manuscript Due: March 6, 2020 Submission Guideline: Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11-inch format. Accepted papers will be published in the combined INFOCOM 2020 Workshop proceedings and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ESOCC 2020 - 2nd CFP Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:24:46 +0200 From: Kyriakos Kritikos <kritikos(a)ics.forth.gr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org =============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== 8th European Conference and Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2020) April 1-3, 2020, Heraklion, Crete, Greece https://www.esocc-conf.eu --------- Scope --------- Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralized sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on-demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service-oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. --------- Tracks --------- - Main conference: three days full of invited talks, panels, and presentations of selected research papers, including a dedicated day to satellite workshops. - PhD Symposium: an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence getting fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities - European Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers around Europe to disseminate the latest research developments in their projects and meet representatives of other consortia.

Rakibul Hoque & Ed Bashaw (Emporia State University, USA) To be published by IGI-Global in 2020 Proposals Submission Deadline: December 1, 2019 Introduction With the advancement in globalization, the internet connectivity, international payment system, logistics and shipping process, the cross-border e-Commerce industry has been thriving fast since the establishment of China based e-Commerce site knows as Alibaba.com in 1999. The most common reason that the consumers purchase from cross-border e-Commerce sites is that unavailability of specific products and services in their home countries. About 67% of the global consumers reported that they purchase from foreign online vendors on the e-Commerce sites because of having lower price outside their country. And while comparing the cross-border purchase of tangible goods and services, the report shows that about 12% and 50% of the global purchases occur on the e-commerce platforms. This book would bring the perspectives, issues, reviews and case studies that are contemporary and specific to cross-border e-Commerce industry. In this process, the book proposes for incorporating the chapters that would enhance knowledge of the stakeholders of cross-border e-Commerce. The book would start with providing an overview of the inception of the cross-border e-Commerce industry and its future. As the regulations, policies, taxation system, degree of technology integration, law and logistic frameworks vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, this book would cover their impacts on the cross-border e-Commerce consumers’ motive, suppliers, pricing, custom clearance, and marketing strategies. Moreover, the existing theoretical studies on the cross-border e-Commerce would be reviewed. Furthermore, the framework and facilities needed for developing a digital logistic system would be discussed. This book would also provide a guideline on how to launch a cross-border business and conduct digital marketing targeting the international online consumers and finally end with some case studies on how the artificial intelligence, drop-shipping idea and the mega project like One Belt and One Road initiative by China are facilitating the growth of cross-border e-Commerce industry.

Fwd: [AISWorld] [AISWORLD] Final Call for Paper ECIS2020 Knowledge Management and Digitization
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [AISWORLD] Final Call for Paper ECIS2020 Knowledge Management and Digitization Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2019 07:37:37 +0000 From: Thalmann, Stefan (stefan.thalmann(a)uni-graz.at) <stefan.thalmann(a)uni-graz.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS-2020 Track: Knowledge Management and Digitization European Conference on Information Systems, June 15-17, 2020, Marrakech, Morocco https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/ ************************************************************************************************************ Main goal of the track is to gather current research with an emphasis on how digitization impacts KM in the context of a changing business and social environment focusing on emerging trends such as sharing society and economy. KM has become an interdisciplinary research field - the traditional gap between researcher from a technology-oriented versus a human-oriented angle has been bridged by holistic, socio-technical approaches. We currently see strong developments towards research on data-driven technologies, AI, changing digital tools (such as the use of social software or machine learning for business and private purposes) as well as towards entire digital business models (such as multi-sided online platforms or networks and online communities) fostering knowledge sharing across organizations. Due to digitization, organizational and national boundaries become more blurred and knowledge can be diffused much easier. Openness and inter-organizational collaboration build the digital pathway of rich, contextualized and sustainable knowledge sharing activities among networked persons within and beyond organizational boundaries. Besides benefits of the increased sharing also risks of losing competitive advantage arise. Hence, organizations should carefully balance their activities to promote and control knowledge sharing, to protect their competitive knowledge. This track aims to promote multi-disciplinary contributions dealing with a managerial, an economic, a methodological, a cultural or a socio-technical perspective. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research are encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Requirements of digitization towards KM * KM in the context of data-driven business models * Knowledge risks arising along digitized supply chains * Balancing knowledge sharing and knowledge protection for inter-organizational collaboration * From technology-oriented towards human-oriented KM in digital environments * Social and behavioral issues in the context of KM and digitization * KM and technology enhanced learning * AI for technology-mediated social collaboration * Knowledge life cycle and data-driven decision support * Cross-organizational, cross-border and cross-cultural KM in digitized worls * AI to capture and share knowledge in social networks and distributed contexts * Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM maturity models, and KM performance * KM and risk management * KM for digital competency development We solicit full research papers and research in progress papers for this track.

Fwd: [WI] Final CfP: Business Analytics and Big Data @ ECIS 2020
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Final CfP: Business Analytics and Big Data @ ECIS 2020 Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:24:16 +0000 From: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> Reply-To: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> Final Call for Papers 28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2020) June 15th – 17th 2020 / Marrakesh, Morocco Track: Business Analytics and Big Data (https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/ <https://ecis2020.ma/ecis-2020-tracks/>) *Track Description* Applications benefitting from data, information, and knowledge constitute the foundation for the datafication of our society reshaping the nature of information systems. While the datafication can help the drive towards a sustainable and inclusive future enabling Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitizing World, the use of data can also lead to threats to our freedoms, to fairness, and to community. Consequently, ethical consideration in novel and advanced approaches for collecting, storing, managing, and analyzing data are required and challenge practitioners and academia as more and more data (big data) becomes available. This trend, as well as digitalization in general, fosters the assimilation and further development of business intelligence and business analytics approaches within organizations and across various industries. In addition, governments and non-profit organizations can benefit from new opportunities raised by analytical applications and technologies. Many scholars are now emphasizing the importance of business analytics and big data approaches as well as information assets for efficient and effective decision support, management, and leadership. Business analytics is essential for an organization’s daily business, directly influencing firm performance and business development in a global world. The application of business analytics and big data approaches enables us to integrate, analyze, visualize, and ultimately understand and improve the complex processes that make up our digitized world. Such approaches are enablers for knowledge discovery benefitting societies, organizations, and individuals leading to smart technologies. Improved communication, more sustainable processes, as well as new business models are examples for the innovative use of disparate data sources (such as mobile, the Internet of Things, streaming data or social media data). Furthermore, the availability of seemingly endless computing and cheaper storage capabilities available through cloud computing enables new opportunities in providing a global gateway to information as a service. Over the past few years, there has much enthusiasm around business analytics as organizations explore how they can leverage their data to create and maintain a competitive advantage. As such, today’s companies try to collect and process as much data as possible, with the aim of improving their decision-making processes. Nevertheless, while there is some empirical evidence that business analytics can create value, the thesis that it leads to performance gains requires deeper analysis. To date, there is limited understanding of how organizations need to change to embrace these technological innovations, and the business shifts they entail. As big data tools and applications diffuse into the organizational fabric, they will inevitably change long-standing ideas about decision making, management practices, and most importantly competitive strategy formulation. Motivated by the explosion of interest in these emerging fields, the present track aims to promote multidisciplinary contributions dealing with socio-economic, organizational, technological, cultural, and societal perspectives. Furthermore, outcomes that demonstrate critical success factors on the organizational impact of business analytics and big data in terms of competitive performance, innovativeness, increased agility, and market capitalizing competence are encouraged. We welcome submissions based on quantitative and qualitative work, theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioral research. We are especially interested in papers that discuss and expand our understanding of how digital technologies are influencing and impacting fundamental human values, whether at the individual, the organization and/or the societal level. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * The role of business intelligence, business analytics, and big data for liberty, equality, and fraternity in a digitizing world * Strategic and change management issues stemming from business analytics and big data * Business value and success of business analytics and big data * Emerging and changing concepts and methodologies for business analytics and big data * Use cases and innovative applications for business analytics and big data * Adoption, routinization, maturity, and use of business analytics and big data * Data privacy, data quality, and data governance * Opportunities and challenges of sharing data and of open data * Big-data-driven business model innovation and the digital ecosystem big data * Data visualization, visual analytics * Business analytics in the cloud, business analytics as a service * Data, text and social media analytics for business analytics * Process mining and the benefits of robotic process automation * Digital manufacturing and the Internet of Things * Operational, real-time, or event-driven business analytics *Special Issue* Following ECIS 2020, selected papers will be invited to submit a considerably enhanced and extended revision of the paper reflecting the discussion at ECIS to the Journal of Business Analytics (JBA). JBA encourages empirical papers focusing on real problems using real data to provide innovative methodological contributions.
