We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to use this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation. The consortium will be organized with 8 to 12 student presentations selected by the Student Consortium chairs and potentially other reviewers. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along in their research so that they can still update their research topics or methods. The final version of accepted SC submissions will be included in the main conference proceedings published in the ACM DL. Complimentary/reduced conference registration will be available for students. Student Consortium participants will also be given high priority when applying for the student travel awards. Moreover, we are working to provide partial reimbursement of travel/accommodation expenses specifically for the participants of the Student Consortium. Objectives The objectives of the student consortium are to: 1. Serve as a supportive setting to provide/receive feedback on students' current doctoral and masters' research and guidance on future research directions 2. Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside of their own institution 3. Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research 4. Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events Submission Instructions To apply for the Student Consortium, please submit to the URL below a single PDF containing the following (in order): 1. A brief cover letter containing your full name, contact details, affiliation, web page, expected graduation date and target degree, the name of your thesis advisor, gender (optional), home country (optional), and whether you are a member of an underrepresented minority group (optional) - one page maximum. 2.

Dear Colleagues: We cordially invite you to share your latest research results at the 2020 IoTBDS Conference. --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------- The internet of things (IoT) is a platform that allows a network of devices (sensors, smart meters, etc.) to communicate, analyse data and process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or organisations. The IoT network can generate large amounts of data in a variety of formats and using different protocols which can be stored and processed in the cloud. The conference looks to address the issues surrounding IoT devices, their interconnectedness and services they may offer, including efficient, effective and secure analysis of the data IoT produces using machine learning and other advanced techniques, models and tools, and issues of security, privacy and trust that will emerge as IoT technologies mature and become part of our everyday lives. Big Data (BD) has core values of volume, velocity, variety and veracity. After collecting much data from IoT, BD can be jointly used with machine learning, AI, statistical and other advanced techniques, models and methods, which can create values for people and organizations adopting it, since forecasting, deep analysis and analytics can help identify weaknesses and make improvements based on different analysis. Maintaining a high level of security and privacy for data in IoT are crucial and we welcome recommendations, solutions, demonstrations and best practices for all forms of security and privacy for IoT and BD. Conference Areas: 1 - Big Data Research 2 - Emerging Services and Analytics 3 - Internet of Things (IoT) Fundamentals 4 - Internet of Things (IoT) Applications 5 - Big Data for Multi-discipline Services 6 - Security, Privacy and Trust 7 - IoT Technologies With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers : Schahram Dustdar, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Rajiv Ranjan, Newcastle University, United Kingdom Amir Hussain, Edinburgh Napier University, United Kingdom ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Regular Papers Paper Submission: December 13, 2019 Authors Notification: February 12, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: February 27, 2020 Position Papers Paper Submission: January 29, 2020 Authors Notification: March 5, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: March 18, 2020 Workshops Workshop Proposal: December 22, 2019 Paper Submission: March 3, 2020 Authors Notification: March 17, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: March 25, 2020 Doctoral Consortium Paper Submission: March 11, 2020 Authors Notification: March 24, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: April 1, 2020 Special Sessions Special Session Proposal: December 22, 2019 Tutorials Tutorial Proposal: March 24, 2020 Demos Demo Proposal: March 24, 2020 Panels Panel Proposal: March 24, 2020 Open Communications Paper Submission: March 11, 2020 Authors Notification: March 24, 2020 Camera Ready and Registration: April 1, 2020 European Project Space Paper Submission: March 15, 2019 Authors Notification: March 25, 2019 Registration: April 4, 2019 Note: All dates refer to AOE time, i.e. "Anywhere on Earth" ---------------------------- CONFERENCE TOPICS ---------------------------- Area 1: Big Data Research - Big Data Fundamentals: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity and Value - Modeling, Experiments, Sharing Technologies & Platforms - Analytics, Intelligence and Knowledge Engineering - Data Center Enabled Technologies - Networking and Social Networks - Data Management for Large Data - Software Frameworks (MapReduce, Spark Etc) and Simulations - Social Science and Implications for Big Data Area 2: Emerging Services and Analytics - Health Informatics as a Service (HIaaS) for Any Type of Health Informatics, Computation and Services - Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) including Frameworks, Empirical Approaches and Data Processing Techniques - Big Data Algorithm, Methodology, Business Models and Challenges - Security as a Service including Any Algorithms, Methodology and Software Proof-of-Concepts - Financial Software as a Service (FSaaS) including Risk and Pricing Analysis;

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: IFIP Joint Working Conference 2020, Hyderabad (India), 10-11 Dec. 2020 Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 22:51:36 +0530 From: Divya Sharma <divya.sharma(a)iimrohtak.ac.in> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *The future of digital work: the challenge of inequality* Second call for papers for Joint Conference of IFIP Working Groups: 8.2 Information Systems and Organization 9.1 ICT and Work 9.4 Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries Hyderabad, India, December 10. – 11. 2020 Keynote speakers: *Renana Jhabvala*, social activist associated with the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) *Michael Barrett*, Professor from U. of Cambridge, UK with a long-standing interest in digital work and innovation Program chairs: Rajendra Bandi, Eric Monteiro, Ranjini Raghavendra Digital technologies, so much more than mere ‘tools,’ seep into and shape our everyday lives in unprecedented, hence uncharted, manners. Digitalisation is both an enabler and multiplier for far-reaching transformation of private and professional lives, at individual, community, organizational, industry-wide and societal levels. However, digital transformation also raises challenges of better or worse quality of life and work, social inclusion/exclusion, (non)discrimination, (un)employment, and civic (non)participation. Digitalisation plays a key role in the way we live our lives and is transforming what it means to work. From new ways of restructuring existing work including an increasing ability to work from virtually anywhere, to collaborating across geographical regions. At the same time, job-matching sites are changing and expanding the way individuals look for work and how companies identify and recruit talent. Independent workers are increasingly choosing to offer their services on digital platforms challenging conventional ideas about how and where work is undertaken. Advances in robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are ushering a new age of digitalisation and automation as machines match or outperform human performance in a range of work activities, including ones requiring cognitive capabilities. Digitalization will have far-reaching impact on the global workforce involving independent contractors, freelance gig workers, fissured work and outsourced services. The changing nature of work through digital platforms is leading to new ways of control, coordination and collaboration within and between organisations and individual workers. The changes will not only challenge the existing work models, but also influence wages, income and skills. Major transitions lie ahead and could lead to income polarisation and inequality. Technology hubs and online work centres tend to be located in urban areas and operate in English, encouraging investment by policy makers in infrastructure such as roads and transport while neglecting to support the more traditional sectors such as agriculture or artisanal industry in rural areas. This implies digitalization is deeply implicated in the changes required to address our global challenges such as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for health, education, wellbeing and security or as put by Thomas Piketty (2014),* the challenges of inequality*. The notion of the ‘digital divide’ between the global South and North, while much discussed in academic and policy literature raises numerous issues as a result of the changing nature of work (Allen 2017; Avgerou and Walsham 2017; Roberts et al. 2014). Differences in opportunities are presented to individuals, communities, or organisations by technologies, mainly as a consequence of deficits in access to the technologies, capacity to use them, relevant contextual content and appropriate application. How then does inclusion into the digital economy operate? Inclusion is not just a mirror image of exclusion, and that to achieve inclusion, it is not sufficient to curb exclusion mechanisms, but to enhance positive measures of inclusion. As Herbst (1974) put it to underscore the social significance of work, “the product of work is men”. However, participation in work-life is highly varied across a number of dimensions including gender, developed vs developing regions, temporal vs permanent employment, migrant workers, entrepreneurship opportunities. The dichotomy between online and ‘real’ life is dismantling, making our online behaviour embedded into rather outside of our everyday lives (Faraj et al. 2011). Digital online platforms are vehicles for community building and sharing, for instance in the form of open source or crowdsourcing. Simultaneously, the traces we willingly if not always consciously leave of our online lives is the source of tech companies’ harvesting of behaviour data for their own commercial purposes (Zuboff 2019). The IFIP Working Groups 8.2, 9.1 and 9.4 have a long history of supplementing the dominant technology-push accounts of digitalization with socially informed ones. This joint conference brings together these three groups for the much-needed analysis of the social pre-conditions, engagement and consequences of digitalization visibility. With increasingly vocal proclamations of the consequences of digitalisation, there is a need for socially informed analysis of the uptake of digitalisation for work and everyday life in the manner traditionally promoted by all three of the IFIP working groups. The conference seeks to stimulate and encourage critical discussion of potential shifts in the changing world of work, organisations and its implications in the developing world. The venue for the joint IFIP conference is Hyderabad, India. Hyderabad and Bangalore are key manifestations of the ongoing struggle of the Global South to tap into, not to say drive, the new digital economy. The conference will facilitate a reflection and discussion about the experiences with India’s efforts so far. With a population exceeding 1.2 billion, India is important in itself but even more so as an early and ambitious example of engaging in the value generation of the digital economy. For the joint IFIP WG 8.2, 9.1 and 9.4 conference in 2020 we are seeking rigorous and relevant empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as conceptual and theoretical papers apprising digitalisation in terms of the future of work, organizing and development. We solicit full research papers with maximum length of 8000 words. The submission site will open in early March and close on May 27, 2020. Notification about acceptance will be sent on July 30. The accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings. We also solicit research-in-progress papers in the form of extended abstracts, with maximum length of 2000 words plus references. The submission deadline for these is September 10, with notification of acceptance a month later. These papers will be worked on in thematically grouped Paper Development Sessions and they will not appear in the proceedings. If coming from a developing country as classified by the United Nations, authors with accepted papers can apply for travel grants. *Important dates*: December 9, 2019 Second call for papers distributed May 27, 2020 Deadline for submitting full papers July 30, 2020 Notification of accepted full papers September 10, 2020 Deadline for submitting research-in progress papers October 20, 2020 Notification of accepted research-in-progress papers December 10 – 11, 2020 Conference in Hyderabad, India *References:* Allen, J.P.

It also provides opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate learning. Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals to collaborate and acquire information in a variety of domains. These environments present new channels to educate others on various topics, as well as learn about a particular domain from others’ knowledge and experiences. Organizations are utilizing virtual collaborations to support knowledge sharing with existing and potential customers, stakeholders, partners, and employees. However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and performance issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual environments. Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning. We encourage paper submissions that study the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts from a variety of perspectives (e.g., individual, organizational, and international). We welcome papers that study the application of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning as well as challenge such applications. This minitrack is open to both theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all research methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation). Potential topics may include (but are not limited to): * Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts * Theoretical models describing the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and data analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along with factors influencing these activities * Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the implications for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning Submission Process: Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020 Manuscript Submission Site https://new.precisionconference.com/ais. Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system. Important Dates: Jan. 6, 2020: Submission system opens Feb. 28, 2020: Completed Research and ERF submissions due (5:00p.m. MST) April 22, 2020: Camera-ready papers due (5:00p.m. MST) More information is available at http://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/ or by contacting the minitrack co-chairs.

This is one of the keystones of information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference.The BPMDS series has produced twenty-one events from 1998 to 2020. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series are: 1.BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development. 2.The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3.Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4.Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal.
