-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: The 8th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2019 15:33:39 +0000 From: FiCloud Conference <ficloud.info(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) 24-26 August 2020, Rome, Itlay http://www.ficloud.org/2020/ Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand computing services to service consumers over the Internet. Computing services include, for example, storage, memory, compute power, databases, and networking among others. Cloud services are generally provided using SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service). Unlike conventional distributed computing, cloud offers flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service provisioning. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing. CONFERENCE TRACKS: 1. Cloud Services Models 2. Security, Privacy and Trust 3. Software Systems, Models and Architectures 4. Blockchain in Cloud and IoT 5. Data and Knowledge Management 6. Context-aware Systems 7. Software-defined Networking 8. Performance Evaluation and Modelling 9. Networking and Communication Protocols 10. IoT Services and Applications 11. Smart Environment 12. Machine learning in Cloud and IoT 13. Energy Efficiency 14. Federation and Virtualization 15. Fog and Edge Computing 16. Industry Track 17. General Track – Future IoT and Cloud Computing Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 12 March 2020 Authors Notification: 20 May 2020 Final Manuscript Due: 15 June 2020 Paper submission and Publication: Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience.

Some development programs that sought to use IS for a good cause have been highly successful, but many other projects, even those well designed and well-funded, have never gotten off the ground (Chipidza & Leidner, 2019). This track is dedicated to research on how IS has been used for good, how and when it is successful, and how and when it tends to fail. The contribution of the track is the development of theory and methods for improving the outcomes when IS is used for Good. What we are looking for We welcome papers that theoretically, conceptually, or empirically advance research on the impact of IS on society when IS and ICTs specifically target the improvement of social welfare. Papers may use any acceptable methodology and theory. Submissions are encouraged at any level of analysis or progress. Both full papers and emerging research are encouraged so that authors can gain valuable feedback for moving their projects forward. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to): * The role of Fintech in economic development * Projects or systems focused on the digital divide * Social connections of geographically distant groups with a common cause * Digital strategies to fight disenfranchisement and marginalization * Corporate social responsibility success and failure * Digital activism that advances human rights * Information systems that focus on financial inclusion * The impact of digital saviors (those who think they know best and impose systems on a community for their own good) Minitrack Co-Chairs Jordana George (Primary Contact), Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, jgeorge(a)mays.tamu.edu Wallace Chipidza, Claremont Graduate University David Gomillion, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Dwayne Whitten, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Co-Chair Biographies Jordana George is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University.

According to Immanuel Kant, ethics is concerned with the question, “What ought I to do?”, as opposed to the other three basic questions “What can I know?”, “What can I hope?”, and “What is human?”. “What ought I to do as a Business Informatics researcher?” therefore is the central question of the theme “Ethics and Morality in Business Informatics”.As this question is fundamentally philosophical in nature, it does not only concern judgments about proper conduct in specific situations. Instead, the questions invites reflections at a higher level of abstraction, enabling a critical reflection about methodological principles of our discipline from a distinctively philosophical outlook. For example, it is possible to examine how basic principles and concepts of Business Informatics are related to more encompassing concepts of human life in general. In this vein, concepts like process, architecture, decision model, algorithm, and organizational rule can be studied against the backdrop of concepts like Weltanschauung, human rights, and values. The workshop “Ethics and Morality in Business Informatics” is meant to address questions of this kind. (Deutsche Version s.u.) Topics Submissions to the workshop are invited to discuss ethical and moral questions arising in the whole spectrum of topics of Business Informatics. The following suggestions provide an impression of the intended orientation of the workshop, but you are cordially invited to propose additional topics. - Are the subjects of Business Informatics associated with specific ethical questions? As the subjects in Business Informatics typically are intangible, does this raise a need for specific procedures to justify proper conduct of Business Informatics research? - Do (research) methods in Business Informatics involve specific value statements or Weltanschauung? - Which implications for classical moral philosophies arise from recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research? - What challenges arise from the availability of IT-supported machines that should act as stand-alone agents (autonomous cars, drones)? Are there any pitfalls in Machine Learning based decision support? - Are certain species of moral philosophies (e. g., deontologist or consequentialist moral theories) especially relevant for Business Informatics? Do typical decision models in Business Informatics implicate the basic principles of specific moral theories (e. g., consequentialism)? - What kind of statements could a „Code of Ethics“ for Business Informatics professionals include (as opposed to the “Code of Ethics” of ACM)? - What experiences in relation to ethical questions were made in previous Business Informatics research projects? - What initiatives concerning ethical values in Business Informatics do already exist in academia and industry? What are the results of these initiatives? - How are ethical topics considered in Business Informatics curriculums at universities world-wide? ...and many more. Submission The workshop invites submissions that discuss actions or principles of actions as manifested in methodological assumptions and commitments in Business Informatics from an ethical point of view. This also includes experience reports about concrete projects in academia and industry where questions about right and wrong conduct played a significant role. Submissions are both invited to raise questions and to report about situations where questions have already been answered in specific ways. Philosophical methods of inquiry are welcome, but not required. Each submission will be reviewed by 3 members of the program committee. Accepted submissions must be presented by at least one author at the workshop, and will be published in a supplementary volume of the main conference proceedings. The maximum page number of submissions is 10 pages (including title, abstract, bibliography, appendixes, author names and affiliations and acknowledgments). Short papers with a size up to 4 pages are also welcome. The abstract should not exceed 150 words. Keywords are optional.

Als ethische Frage mit philosophischem Anspruch gestellt geht es dabei nicht nur um kontextbezogene methodische Einzelaussagen. Die Frage kann auch auf einer Abstraktionsebene oberhalb der methodischen Prinzipien unserer Disziplin gestellt werden, mit philosophischer Distanz und unabhängig von spezifischen kontextuellen Gegebenheiten. Um dieses Abstraktionsniveau zu erreichen können beispielsweise fachliche Grundprinzipien der WI in Bezug zu übergreifenden Konzepten des menschlichen Lebens gesetzt werden. Dazu zählen die Reflexion über Begriffe wie Prozesse, Architekturen, Algorithmen und organisationale Regeln vor dem Hintergrund von Weltanschauung, Menschenwürde und Werten. Der Workshop bietet eine Plattform für die ethische Reflexion von Themen aus dem gesamten fachlichen Spektrum der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Er versteht sich damit als Querschnitts-Workshop mit großer thematischer Breite. Themen Einreichungen zum Workshop sind eingeladen, ethische und moralische Fragen aus dem gesamten thematischen Spektrum der Wirtschaftsinformatik zu behandeln. Die nachfolgend aufgeführten Themenvorschläge gebeneinen Eindruck über die Ausrichtung des Workshops, können aber gerne ergänzt werden. - Sind die Betrachtungsgegenstände der WI mit spezifischen ethischen Fragen verbunden? Ergeben sich aus den zumeist intangiblen Betrachtungsgegenständen der WI besondere ethische Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Begründbarkeit und Rechtfertigung des Handelns von Wirtschaftsinformatikern? - Manifestieren sich in den Methoden der WI spezifische Wertesysteme oder Weltanschauungen? - Welche Implikationen haben jüngere Entwicklungen wie z.B. Ergebnisse der Künstliche Intelligenz (KI)-Forschung für klassische Moralphilosophien? - Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich aus der Verfügbarkeit von IT-gestützten Maschinen, die als eigenständige Agenten auftreten sollen (autonome Autos, Drohnen)? Liegen Gefahren in einer auf Machine Learning basierenden Entscheidungsunterstützung? - Sind spezifische moralphilosophische Theorieströme (z. B. deontologische und konsequentialistische Moraltheorien) für die WI von besonderer Relevanz? Manifestieren sich in einschlägigen Entscheidungsmodellen der WI Grundprinzipien bestimmte Moraltheorien (z. B. des Konsequentialismus)? - Auf welche Aspekte sollte ein „Code of Ethics“ für die Wirtschaftsinformatik, ggf. in Abgrenzung zum „Code of Ethics“ der ACM, besonders eingehen? - Welche individuellen Erfahrungen haben Wirtschaftsinformatiker mit ethischen Fragen bei der Lösung fachlicher Aufgabenstellungen gemacht? - Welche Initiativen zum Umgang mit ethischen Werten der WI existieren auf akademischer und industrieller Ebene? Und welche Auswirkungen haben sie bisher? - Welche Berücksichtigung finden ethische Themen in WI-Lehrplänenweltweit? u. v. a. m. Einreichung Der Workshop heißt alle Einreichungen willkommen, die Handlungen von Wirtschaftsinformatikern oder Handlungsprinzipien in methodologischen Annahmen und Festlegungen der WI aus ethischer Perspektive thematisieren. Das beinhaltet auch Berichte aus konkreten Projekten in Wissenschaft und Praxis, in denen Fragen nach dem richtigen oder notwendigen Handeln eine Rolle spielen. Es können ebenso offene Fragen gestellt werden wie über Situationen berichtet werden, in denen ethische oder moralische Fragen bereits beantwortet wurden. Die Anwendung spezifisch philosophischer Untersuchungsmethoden ist nicht erforderlich, aber selbstverständlich willkommen. Jede Einreichung wird von 3 Mitgliedern des Programmkomitees peer-reviewed. Die angenommenen Beiträge müssen von mindestens einem Autor im Workshop vorgestellt werden und werden in einem Ergänzungsband zu den Proceedings der Hauptkonferenz veröffentlicht. Einreichungen dürfen eine Länge von 10 Seiten nicht überschreiten (inklusive Titel, Abstract, Literaturverzeichnis, Anhängen sowie Autorendetails und Danksagungen für überarbeitete Beiträge) und müssen ein Abstract von max. 150 Wörtern voranstellen. Kurzpapers mit einer Länge von bis zu 4 Seiten sind ebenfalls willkommen. Keywords sind optional.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: AMCIS 2020: Mini-track: Problems in Financial Information Technology (PFIT ’20) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2019 17:35:51 +0000 From: Templeton, Gary <GTempleton(a)business.msstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org) <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Track: Decision Sciences and Analytics (SIGDSA) 26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug. 12-16, 2020 Salt Lake City, Utah This mini-track solicits papers using methods to critically examine issues hampering the emergence and understanding of financial information technology (FIT) in research and practice. Authors are encouraged to identify and investigate three specific problem areas in finance that affect modern organizations: technology (“FinTech”), analytics and messy data. What are the problems and solutions in these areas? What can researchers do to move beyond the current state of research and practice concerning these IS-relevant issues? In what ways do specified problems impact important IS theories and streams, such as the productivity paradox, IT business value, and information economics? What are the pros and cons and comparative performance of any proposed solutions? These are the types of questions that may be explored in this mini-track. We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research addressing the conference theme, New Frontiers in Digital Convergence. Therefore, we hold at a premium papers advancing our understanding of organizations engaged in digital convergence for value creation. In particular, we are interested in information technology firms since they engage in digital convergence out of competitive necessity. We encourage thought provoking papers utilizing the wealth of archival data (e.g., Compustat and CRSP) accessible by many in the IS research community. We especially value thought provoking papers pushing known boundaries of the three mentioned FIT themes (FinTech, analytics and messy data) in order to improve IS practice. For these reasons, we are interested in high quality papers that illuminates and addresses the effects of the following issues (among others) on modern organizations: FinTech * Finance-Technology alignment * Resistance to change * Barriers to innovation * Systems scalability * FinTech success * Outsourcing FinTech * Issues specific to FinTech firms * Compliance management * FinTech application frontiers * Blockchain and cryptography Financial Analytics * Workflows * Queries * Data storage * Analytical efficiency and economics * Analytical skills * Data security and privacy * User-friendliness of big data * Artificial intelligence and machine learning * Big data analytics * Analytical procedures Messy Financial Data * Non-normality * Missing data * Imputation * Inflated frequencies * Variables with low levels (i.e. binary) * Outliers * Negative denominators * Measurement bias * Illogical values Mini-Track co-chairs Gary Templeton, Mississippi State University gft4(a)msstate.edu<mailto:gft4@msstate.edu> Brian Blank, Mississippi State University dblank(a)business.msstate.edu<mailto:dblank@business.msstate.edu> Andrew Miller, Mississippi State University asm357(a)msstate.edu<mailto:asm357@msstate.edu> Martin Kang, Mississippi State University mkang(a)business.msstate.edu<mailto:mkang@business.msstate.edu> Ted Lee, University of Memphis elee(a)memphis.edu<mailto:elee@memphis.edu> Submission Instructions: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ Important Dates: January 6, 2020: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2020 begin February 28, 2020: Manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST March 5, 2020: All papers have assigned reviewers April 24, 2020: Revised, camera-ready papers are due _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
