-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2020 CFPs: Information Systems Education and the Future of Work minitrack (corrected) Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 17:22:32 +0000 From: Radwan Ali <rali(a)kennesaw.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Greetings Colleagues, Please consider submitting a manuscript to the Information Systems Education and the Future of Work minitrack ( # 5 under IS in Education, Curriculum, Education, and Teaching Cases (SIGED)). This track is interested in scholarly work that focuses on IS education from the perspective of workforce development. Due to the evolving nature of information technologies in an era of data analytics, open source development, social media, and cybersecurity, the IS curriculum is seemingly lagging. It does not address the new technological advancements and changing workplace requirements quickly enough. This, along with rise of micro-credentialing in non-standard IS settings implies that evolving the IS curriculum becomes an existential necessity. The field as a whole cannot consider itself to be immune to national and local level conversations that evolve around cost of higher education, workforce preparation, and value of degrees. Having a curriculum that is able to address these issues in an innovative fashion is the only long term strategy. This track intends to produce models for future-centered curricular guidelines. We envisage research projects that investigate the IS discipline's identity through its curriculum and this curriculum's place with respect to other computing disciplines (Computer Science and IT), and as importantly, how these curricular guidelines address the modern workplace. Proposals for this track may include curriculum research, course planning and materials, case studies, and other IS education-relevant projects in addition to others: * Curriculum (design, planning, implementation, etc.) * Pedagogy * Course planning and design * Case studies * IS projects * Mobile IS learning * Information literacy * IS vs. IT vs. CS discussion * Experiential IS learning * IS planning for workplace preparation * Challenges of IS education for the workplace Paper must be submitted through the conference website. For more information about the process, please visit: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ Please note the following important dates: * January 6, 2020: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2020 begin. * February 28, 2020: manuscript submission deadline for authors at 5:00pm MST. * April 13, 2020: Track Chair recommendations due. * April 22, 2020: Camera-ready papers are due at 5:00pm MST. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Mini-track chairs: Radwan Ali (rali(a)kennesaw.edu<mailto:rali@kennesaw.edu>) and Humayun Zafar (hzafar(a)kennesaw.edu<mailto:hzafar@kennesaw.edu>) Thank you for your consideration.

The dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), their focus on important and timely topics and the quality of their writing. IMPORTANT DATES January 15, 2020: Papers due January 20, 2020: Workshops, tutorials, and panel proposals due March 1, 2020: Application deadline for 2020 doctoral colloquium March 1, 2020: Notifications of acceptance March 15, 2020: Posters and demos proposals due April 1, 2020: Poster/demo author notifications April 5, 2020: Camera-ready manuscripts due May 5, 2020: Early registration closes! THEMES AND TRACK TOPICS The 21st Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of "Intelligent Government in the Intelligent Information Society". The advent of the intelligent information society will introduce new technologies that combine artificial intelligence (AI) with Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data. Along with the development of such intelligent information technologies, governments will increasingly face unprecedented challenges and complex problems in all areas of the society. This conference will focus on the role and capacity building of government and the new governance that would be required to timely address the challenges and opportunities that are brought by the new technologies and also to construct a trust-based society by achieving sustainable development in the intelligent information society. Specifically, we will propose capacity building activities in government and discuss the government’s role in addressing the digital divide and social inequality, resulting from the aforementioned technological advancements, and in providing user-friendly public services that are based on big data analysis. Moreover, we intend to discuss the implications of private and public partnerships on new governance in the information society. In this endeavor, the event will embrace discussions on both theoretical frameworks and practical applications that deal with the government and related issues at the local, regional, and global level. Track 1. Social Media and Government Chairs: Andrea Kavanaugh and Rodrigo Sandoval-Almazan Governments and constituents have been using social media and associated affordances to broadcast information, promote perspectives and policies, share ideas, and to garner (or sometimes disrupt) support for collective action. For this year’s theme “Intelligent Government for the Intelligent Information Society” we especially welcome papers related to machine learning, big data, and related analytics that can support smart government practice and design for civic engagement. The more routine use of social media has created new challenges for all users, including continuous changes in technology and platforms, bigger and more complex data, regulations and policies, and government’s capacity to capture and accommodate more diverse perspectives and feedback. With the more pervasive use of social media by governments and constituents also comes the expectation that government will respond rapidly and meaningfully to posts, comments, likes, images. Being responsive may require news skills (technical, legal, social) in house or outsourced. Analysis of communication behavior, messages, systems and institutions, should help to increase our knowledge and understanding of the ways that these media are affecting collective problem solving and public policy development and service delivery. This track addresses a range of similar or related research questions, topics and practices regarding social media, and the analysis of content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance this area of research. We welcome research and practice papers on such new topics as fake news, ethics, e-profiling from a governance perspective, and links between citizen and government use of social media and big data. Track 2: Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Chairs: Jing Zhang, Lei Zheng, Chris Hinnant To build intelligent government and intelligent society, public organizations employ advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders such as residents, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies. The adoption and implementation of new ICTs by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, infrastructure, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, stakeholder involvement, organization’s structure and culture, as well as inter-organizational dynamics if the initiative cut across multiple organizations. Similarly, the adoption of ICTs in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations, as well as the smartness of the government and the society. In this context, this track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation, and impact of new and emerging innovative technologies such as smart governance, artificial intelligence, open data, social media, citizen-centric technologies, and other novel technologies that rely on open and large data sets. Furthermore, this track seeks research on the adoption of innovative policies or practices that seek to facilitate the strategic use of various ICTs by public organizations. Track 3: Smart Cities: Intelligent Innovation and Transformation Chairs: Leonidas Anthopoulos, Wookjoon Sung, Soon Ae Chun Data and technologies drive cities to innovate and transform not only the economic productions and activities, but also citizen expectations in terms of information, services, governance participation. The cities around the globe are adopting cutting edge technologies in their attempts to enhance their efficiency, their competitiveness and the local quality of life. Industry 4.0 technologies, IoT, AI, 5G-readiness and big open data are only some of the key infrastructure that cities deploy, while digital skills and extensive collaboration among the city stakeholders are key-elements that are being utilized for the digital transformation and for the smart governance of the local digital ecosystem. This track invites research and practices in smart cities that describes smart cities development strategies, policy models, citizen engagement, and technology innovations. Topics include but not limited to industry 4.0 technologies for smart cities, mobility, energy, health, education, public safety, structures, natural environment, and business, as well as related issues of cybersecurity and privacy, community-based infrastructure resilience, urban informatics and governance. Specific interest areas include smart governance and smart city governance, smart city infrastructure and standards, applications and collaborations based on the "internet of things"; Smart sensors; Big data analytics; The Civic Technology Movement, and Intercity and intergovernmental collaborations; International cooperation and the spread of smart cities; Machine learning, AI, Blockchain and Robotics for cities and governments. Track 4: Ethical Approaches to Intelligent Government: Strategies and Implementation Chairs: Robert J. Domanski, Teresa M. Harrison, Evgeny Styrin As digital government evolves in the direction of intelligent government, computationally “intelligent” systems are rapidly being integrated into numerous facets of public policy and management. These technologies - including artificial intelligence, machine learning, facial recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics - have the potential to yield great benefits, but pose substantial challenges to privacy, autonomy, governance, equity, and fairness. In this track, we invite scholarly papers that explore the ethics of computational strategies in digital and intelligent government. The track’s objectives are to 1) identify real-world examples/cases of real or potential ethical problems, 2) seek to place such cases in the context of existing ethical frameworks for analysis, 3) create actionable recommendations for researchers, professional developers, and digital government practitioners, and finally, 4) institutionalize recommendations in digital government research and practice. Possible topics include but not limited to: Responsible uses of AI, machine learning, facial recognition, robotic process automation, and related technologies as strategies in government contexts; Ethical guidelines for digital government practice and research; Ethical challenges posed by enumeration, one-stop, and other government IT programs; Creating a culture of ethics in digital governance; Assessing data for fitness in use; Issues in integrating data sets; Impacts of AI, IT, and other computing strategies on citizens’ experience of government; Values in digital government practice and research; Conflict resolution in public intelligent systems practices and implementation. Track 5: Beyond Bureaucracy: Progressing Governance through Disruptive Innovation Chairs: Alois Paulin, Adeyinka Adewale, Zach Bastick The “Beyond Bureaucracy” track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance and e-democracy research paths and priorities. Where well-established research ambitions in fields such as e-government, e-governance, or e-democracy focus on providing and/or studying technology that supports the work and mission of government agencies and governmental or political agents, “Beyond Bureaucracy” addresses the question on how technology can empower citizens and the conceptual sovereign-body to actively control (rather than passively observe) public-domain agencies and -agents. The Beyond Bureaucracy track aims to outline the pending technological (design science) challenges, promotes the economic potentials of new technological ecosystems, discusses ethical implications of existing and potential future models of public governance, and serves as a platform for pro/contra deliberations on Beyond Bureaucracy thought and knowledge. Track 6: Open Government Data – Maturity and Sustainability Chairs: Tobias Siebenlist, Christine Meschede Maturity and sustainability promote each other. An Intelligent Information Society benefits from Intelligent Government and vice versa. Open Government Data and its usage to create information and knowledge is a viable factor for an intelligent Information Society. As thus it builds a foundation for transparency and participation and a foundation for the creation of information services for citizens. In the area of analysis of open data sets, artificial intelligence, which requires reliable data to function, can be used to make predictions about future developments and usage patterns. The importance of these factors and their different manifestations is increasing as more and more open data sets are published, new portals are set up, services and applications are developed based on or with regard to the data sets, and existing solutions are maturing. The diversity of both factors facilitates a broad range of aspects that can be covered within this track. Another perspective is the usage of Open Government Data for sustainable development. The United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which consist of 17 specific goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Open Government Data can be used to measure the progress of achieving the goals on different administrative levels and to create value added services related to the SDGs. In particular, by providing open data, it is also possible to calculate the progress of the SDG objectives at urban and municipal level. Track 7: Artificial Intelligence for Innovating Smart and Open Governments Chairs: Sehl Mellouli, Adegboyega Ojo, Marijn Janssen Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new research trend for Governments which has the potential to affect every aspect of government. It brings new techniques and tools such as: machine learning, natural language processing, or robotics and that can be applied in different domains for example transport, healthcare, security, or energy. AI innovation is already transforming the way governments operate, make decisions, and deliver public services. For this, we should take steps to ensure this is done in a more effective and transparent way that reassures citizens that these systems will produce fair outcomes, as well as higher quality services. Governments are not only looking at the applications of AI but also at the impacts that AI can on different levels of governments including both the front-office and the back-office. The purpose of this track is to investigate how AI can be used in all aspects of governments and how it will result in a smarter and open government. The track will also examine fundamental changes in practice and new research on approaches and mechanisms necessary for fostering AI innovation and implementation by governments for a greater transparency, accountability, service delivery, and citizen’s trust. The topics of this track are, but not limited to: AI adoption and acceptance in governments, AI for improving policy making and participation, Legal issues related to AI, AI and data in governments, AI and security in governments, Openness, transparency and accountability of algorithms, AI impacts on IT teams in governments, AI maturity models for governments, Bots for governments. Track 8: Governance of Technologies and Data in Social Innovations Chairs: Loni Hagen, Iryna Susha, Efthimios Tambouris We have recently observed various social innovations that cross traditional business boundaries or extend beyond social practices through technologies and data. For example, Uber experimented with a courier service that delivered luggage on-demand in some cities like New York. Civic hackathons emerged as a viable solution for problem-solving in local governments in several U.S. cities, such as Las Vegas and St. Louis. Several big data or computational modeling projects have been initiated on the globe. While they are innovative and promising, critical problems surrounding algorithms, data, and intelligent machines have not been examined thoroughly or discussed in scientific or policy communities. These advancements often have outpaced the way they need to be governed and what policy frameworks must be in place for their desired use. Governments tend to respond to these developments reactively and struggle to find the right balance between regulation (or encouragement) and innovation. This track calls for papers that address the governance and policy issues of, or frameworks for, technologies and data that are associated with various social innovations. We welcome empirical and conceptual studies that define the social innovation of the author’s interest in a specific context clearly and provide solid analysis, evidence, and discussion of policy issues or implications for government decision-making. Track 9: Artificial Intelligence Challenges and Implications for Public Management and Policy Chairs: Michael Ahn, Yu-Che Chen, Albert Meijer “Artificial Intelligence Challenges and Implications for Public Management and Policy” and Algorithm-based decision-making are expected to dramatically transform our government into a new and intelligent form of institutional arrangement. For this track, the development and the key attributes of the emerging AI technologies and their implications are best contextualized in the broader history of public administration. In that context, AI technologies as an instrument of decision-making could transform or replace/complement traditional government bureaucracy. Moreover, this track seeks to elucidate the meaning as well as policy and management implications in the evolution of digital government. For instance, this track aims to examine the key attributes of AI technologies that distinguish them from other Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their impacts on government data collection, decision making, and policy implementation. In addition, this track invites insights into the identification of the key challenges to government brought by AI and their potential policy solutions. This track welcomes research papers as well as management and case study papers that address any of its focal areas. Track 10: Data-driven Society: Balancing Prosperity and Security Chairs: Hun-Yeong Kwon, Ki-Yeong Min, Michael Reiterer Today’s society is largely driven by data. In the global market the capacity to use data has become a power force. Governments of many countries have already recognized the value of data and are competing against each other to gain the upper hand. However, it is also true that data has been the major cause of privacy breaches, as it is so easy to process information easily and quickly using data. Of equal consequence, concerns over security in information systems, services and networks that contain and transmit such data need to be addressed. Uncertainty arising from the complexities of a data-driven society is bringing new challenges and threats not only to ordinary citizens but also to governments. In this sense, this track is seeking to solicit theoretical research papers and case studies on law and policies on data and personal information protection, privacy, information security, cyber security, etc. This track will address these issues from a multi-disciplinary perspective such as legal, policy, ethics, politics, public administration, computer engineering. Topics include, but are not limited to: Data Policy, Evidence Based Policy, Personal Information Protection, Privacy, Information Security, Cyber Security, Security Policies, Public Sector Efforts for Data Society, Data Industry Challenges by Private Companies, Artificial Intelligence, Legal Informatics etc. Track 11: Development and Measurement of Intelligent Government Index Chairs: Choong-sik Chung, Dongwook Kim Various types of E-government related index including UN Digital Government Development Index, E-participation Index, and Smart City index have been developed and utilized in the corporate and industrial sectors. The development of these indexes has been based on electronic services and their scope of application, and it facilitates to measure the performance and levels of advancement in different digital government projects and to conduct comparative scoring of governments. On the other hand, the development of an intelligentization index that covers the entire scope of making governments intelligent, which includes indicators such as the use of IoT, Cloud computing, Big-data analytics and AI utilization, has not been actively discussed and implemented yet. This track aims to address two important issues that can be applied to both public and private sector. First, this track intends to address the conceptual frameworks of intelligent governments that go beyond existing E-government digitalizations and other related indices. Second, this track aims to discuss and develop the key indicators that comprise an index, and the issue of measurability associated with key indicators. Topics include, but are not limited to, development of E-government, E-Participation and smart city related indexes, intelligentization and competitiveness index, development of digitalization index in central or local government, service or process intelligentization index, conceptual frameworks and validations of the intelligentization index, AI utilization index in government, measurement methods and reliability issues of evaluation methods. Track 12: Open Data for Sustainable Development Goals Chairs: Kyung Ryul Park, Carla Bonina Open data have been recognized as a key component of digital intelligence governance. However, the benefits of emerging digital technologies and data revolution are found to be unevenly distributed, diverse socio-political issues including digital inequalities, lack of citizen engagement, information capability, and data and statistical literacy need to be addressed. This track focuses on the role and impacts of data revolution and digital intelligence governance in achieving UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). It will investigate new forms of power dynamic and policy challenges that data revolution creates and how extant digital governance theories can be applied to make sense of it. We invite diverse research methodologies including a cross-national analysis, a theory-driven research, as well as in-depth interpretive case study directly related to each seventeen SDGs goals, but are not limited to: Monitoring and evaluation of SDGs; Global digital governance in SDGs data and indicator; The political economy of open data and power dynamics in digital governance; Critical approach to the concept of open data and the theoretical links between open data, digital governance and sustainable development; How national and international open data policy address the UN Sustainable Development Goals; How academia, media, citizens and civil society organizations to use open data for sustainable development and hold their leaders accountable for their actions; What are the statistical, technical and information systems challenge in using open data for SDGs; What are the institutional, legal, coordination challenge and cultural resistance in maximizing the benefit of open data in sustainable development. Track 13: Innovation of Public Service Design and Delivery in an Era of Intelligent Government Chairs: Kwangho Jung and Hyunsub Kum Government faces an increasing burden and demands for smart digital process, innovative policies and services. Rapid ICT advancements and ICT democratization have created new opportunities for creative solutions for many areas in public and private sectors and enhanced efficiency, reliability, transparency and accountability. To make the innovation work, government faces a multifaceted network that involves network-based collaboration among many stakeholders, including federal government, state governments, private vendors, retail merchants, and citizens who are affected by the innovations, as seen in the U.S. Electronic Benefit Transfers (EBT) system. Smart governance is required to facilitate the innovative service and policy designs, to implement them effectively across organizational and cultural boundaries, and to manage network efficiency, security, privacy, and equity issues. This track is to explore (1) how government initiates, implements and adopts public policy and service delivery systems, managing the networked collaborations, (2) what critical factors matter to the diffusion process, (3) how the ICT technologies can be leveraged to innovate the bureaucratic process of the public service; and (4) how the grass-root citizen participations with collective intelligence can create and manage opportunities for innovations. We call for (quasi-) experimental research and various theory-testing case studies that can touch these issues or comparative research to identify differences and similarities of smart governance for public innovation projects across developing and developed countries. Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Chairs: Wookjoon Sung and Loni Hagen Dg.o workshops are half- or full-day facilitated discussions. Discussions are typically stimulated by short presentations by workshop participants. Individuals proposing workshops will assume the responsibility of identifying and selecting participants for the workshop and for conducting workshop activities. Dg.o tutorials are half- or full-day presentations or hands-on experiences offering deeper insight into the scientific or government domains, research topics or methods, technologies or field experiences of veteran digital government researchers and practitioners. Panels Chairs: Kwangho Jung and Taewoo Nam Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: 6th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 6th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 10:38:52 +0000 From: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (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.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Second Call for Papers - Understanding UX through Implicit and Explicit Feedback - Multimodal Technologies and Interaction [Special Issue] Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2019 13:11:42 +0000 From: Mark Graus <mp.graus(a)maastrichtuniversity.nl> Reply-To: Mark Graus <mp.graus(a)maastrichtuniversity.nl> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de * Please forward to anyone who might be interested * * Apologies for cross-posting. * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In collaboration with the MDPI journal "Multimodal Technologies and Interaction", we are bringing researchers together to contribute to a Special Issue on: *Understanding UX through Implicit and Explicit Feedback* Guest Editors: Dr. ir. Bruce Ferwerda, Jonkoping University, Jonkoping, Sweden Dr. ir. Mark Graus, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/special_issues/UX_feedback Submissions are ongoing with the final submission deadline for manuscripts to be considered on 31 March 2020. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue aims to explore the opportunities and challenges of combining implicit and explicit feedback to understand and design user experience (UX) in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Measuring UX is important to understand how successful applications and systems are in reaching their goals. In general, there are two main approaches to measure UX: 1) explicit feedback (i.e., using data measured through surveys, interviews and focus groups) and 2) implicit feedback (i.e., using data describing users' observable interaction behavior measured through, for example, telemetry). Measuring explicit feedback is costlier, requires user input, and thus relies on smaller scale studies. However, it allows to gain deeper information and understanding about the relationship between user characteristics, their needs and preferences, their behavior and their experience. Although, implicit feedback can be collected automatically, it allows for limited understanding of the relationship between user behavior, user traits and user experience. Implicit and explicit feedback can be combined to effectively measure and understand UX factors; implicit feedback can facilitate the breadth (by quantitatively indicating how designs influence UX) while explicit feedback can facilitate the depth (by providing insight how user behavior, user characteristics and user experience are related). The combination of these two approaches result in an understanding with a high level of detail with the cost efficiency of quantitative research. Specific areas in which the combination of implicit and explicit feedback is valuable is in personalized and adaptive systems: systems that adapt itself based on users' interaction behavior to match their preferences or needs. A prominent direction using this approach is the field of recommender systems in which historical behavioral data (implicit feedback) is used to alter the order of items in a catalog (from highest predicted relevance to lowest predicted relevance), with the goal of helping users to find relevant items more easily or making them consume more items. In this case, implicit feedback (behavior) is used to make inferences about concepts that normally can only be measured through explicit feedback (preferences). We encourage authors to submit original research articles, case studies, reviews, theoretical and critical perspectives, and viewpoint articles within the domain of HCI on topics including but not limited to: - Deriving metrics for measuring UX from qualitative research - The interplay between user characteristics/user behavior and UX - Combining explicit and implicit feedback for UX Research - Empirical studies incorporating UX factors, user behavior and/or user characteristics (e.g., A/B testing) - Explicit and implicit feedback in personalized/adaptive systems - Implicit feedback for UX design (e.g., data-driven design) - Explicit feedback for UX design (e.g., theory-driven design) For more information about the Special Issue, please see: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/special_issues/UX_feedback For information on manuscript preparation and related matters, please see the instructions for authors: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/instructions Although the deadline for submission of manuscripts to the Special Issue is 31 March 2020, papers will be reviewed and published as they are received.

It's under the Cognitive Research in IS track. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is occurring in a wide range of solutions and applications. While algorithms are necessary for the development of an artificially intelligent system, they are not sufficient. Understanding human interaction with the system is the key to develop an AI system that looks and behaves like humans. There is an enormous potential for information systems researchers to contribute to this emerging field. To help increase understanding about this topic, we invite submission of research studying the cognitive aspects involved in the interaction between humans and AI systems. We welcome a broad range of empirical and conceptual work, drawing on a range of research methods, including qualitative, quantitative, design science research, and other relevant approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * The role of humans' cognitive processes in defining user interaction with AI systems * The effect of human cognitive processes and cultures on the design of AI systems * The formation of emotional attachments toward an AI system * The association between AI systems on human's cognition and information processing capability * Theoretical framework for understanding the interactions and relationships between human and AI systems * Ethical issues surrounding the interaction between humans and AI systems * The role of AI systems in influencing human's performance * The effect of human factors on machine's cognitive states * Collaborative decision making between human and machine * Human-centered design approach to artificial intelligence to enhance decision-making * The effect of AI systems on human creativity * Using AI and machine learning to predict user behaviors * Fairness, moral judgment, and AI * The joint impact of humans and AI systems collaboration on job performance Paper must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ Important dates: * January 06, 2020: System opens for general paper submissions * February 28, 2020: Deadline for paper submissions. PCS closes for authors at 5:00 p.m. MST * April 13, 2020: Notification of initial decision on submitted papers * April 22, 2020: Deadline for camera-ready revisions If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Decentralised Web Symposium: Call for Lightning Talks and Posters Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2019 19:30:39 +0100 From: Sabrina Kirrane <sabrina.kirrane(a)wu.ac.at> To: lab-community(a)alice.wu-wien.ac.at, privacylab(a)alice.wu.ac.at, ipm(a)wu.ac.at ----------------------------------- Call for Lightning Talks and Posters ----------------------------------- Decentralised Web Symposium Vienna University of Economics and Business January 17, 2020 ----------------------------------- Abstract ----------------------------------- Over the last few years the notion of a decentralised Web has emerged: where individuals and organisations are empowered to control and manage their digital assets. We are in the process of establishing an interdisciplinary network of researchers to have a common dialogue on the technical issues related to this decentralised Web and how these issues relate to social, economic, and policy aspects. The Decent(ralised) Web Symposium will serve as the initialisation of our common activities. As such we would like to invite researchers with an interest in technologies associated with our concept. In particular envisage the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics being covered: * Decentralised infrastructures * Multi-agent systems * Collective intelligence * Blockchains and the Web * Cyber Physical Social Systems * Impact on Society, Economics, and Privacy ----------------------------------- Format ----------------------------------- The symposium will comprise keynotes and talks from prominent invited speakers, and will also feature a time slot for 10-12 lightning talks to allow participants to share their vision, challenges and/or current work. If you are interested in giving a lightning talk, please submit title and abstract of your proposal using this form (https://adecentweb.org/events/decentralised-web-symposium/) before 18th December 2019 for review by the organising committee. We will send notifications of decisions on 20th December 2019. ----------------------------------- Organising Committee ----------------------------------- * John Domingue, The Open University * Sabrina Kirrane, Vienna University of Economics and Business * Luis-Daniel Ibañez, University of Southampton * Elena Simperl, University of Southampton * Allan Third, The Open University * Ruben Verborgh, Ghent University — imec * Olaf Hartig, Linköping University -- Senior Postdoctoral researcher, Institute for Information Business Vienna University of Economics and Business Tel: +43-1-31336-4494 E-mail: sabrina.kirrane [at] wu.ac.at Homepage: www.sabrinakirrane.com
