Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 CFP - Mini-track: IT Governance and Business-IT Alignment
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Feb '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 CFP - Mini-track: IT Governance and Business-IT Alignment Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 14:04:09 +0100 From: Lazar Rusu <lrusu(a)dsv.su.se> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2019 Cancún, México, August 15-17, 2019 https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/ Mini-track: IT Governance and Business-IT Alignment Track: Strategic and Competitive Uses of Information Technology We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the Mini-track: IT Governance and Business-IT Alignment at AMCIS 2019. Mini-track Description: In many organizations, information technology (IT) is crucial for the running and growth of the businesses that calls for a specific focus on IT governance or enterprise governance of IT. Enterprise governance of IT is defined to be “an integral part of corporate governance, exercised by the Board, overseeing the definition and implementation of processes, structures and relational mechanism in the organization that enable both business and IT people to execute their responsibilities in support of business/IT alignment and the creation of business value from IT-enabled business investments” (De Haes and Van Grembergen, 2015, p.2). But to generate value from IT a company needs to have implemented an effective IT governance in place which is “an actively designed set of IT governance mechanisms” that supports “organization’s mission, strategy, values, norms and culture” (Weill and Ross, 2004, p.2-3). In their research Schlosser et al. (2015, p.129) have identified some specific effective IT governance mechanisms like “top management support for business-IT collaboration and IT representation on the executive board” as key to social business-IT alignment at the operational level. According to De Haes and Van Grembergen (2015) the ultimate outcome of IT governance is business-IT alignment that is defined as “the fit and integration among business strategy, IT strategy, business structures and IT structures” (De Haes and Van Grembergen, 2015, p.4). Concerning the relation between IT governance and business-IT alignment Schlosser et al. (2015, p.126) have found that IT governance mechanisms like “top management support of business-IT collaboration, IT representation on the executive board, and joint IS training” to have the “strongest relationships with business performance” that is explained by a significant degree of two dimensions of social business-IT alignment. The importance of research in business-IT alignment has been mentioned by many researchers. Chan and Reich (2007) have found that organizations that succeed to align their business and IT strategies will outperform those who have not done it. While, Luftman et al. (2017) have found that business-IT alignment has a significant impact on firm performance. In opinion of Leonard and Seddon (2012) there are two motivators of why business-IT alignment continues to be important for organizations. The first one is concerning the strategic benefits brought by business-IT alignment and the second one is related to the fact that IS managers consider business-IT alignment to be a key issue for their organizations (Leonard and Seddon, 2012). In support why business-IT alignment is still a top management concern for executives in organizations around the world are also the findings of the annual study of IT key issues and trends done by Society for Information Management in 2017 (Kappelman et al., 2018). As we noticed the research in IT governance and business-IT alignment has been explored for different motivates that are still important for understanding the contribution of these studies to the research in this area but also how can these studies could be used by practitioners. In this mini-track we are looking to receive papers that reports innovative research studies and new insights into the theories, models and practices in research of IT governance and business-IT alignment. We are welcoming the submission of full research papers and Emergent Research Forum (a research in progress option) papers using a variety of research methodologies. More information about types of submissions you will find at the following link: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: • IT governance structures, processes and relational mechanisms • IT governance roles of the board and executive management • Business-IT relationships and business-IT alignment • Organizational culture influence on IT governance and business-IT alignment • Organizational structure influence on IT governance and business-IT alignment • IT governance and business performance • IT leadership role in business-IT alignment • IT governance and business-IT alignment for digital transformation • IT governance implementation and its impact on business-IT alignment • Theoretical models for studying IT governance and business-IT alignment • Practices and cases on IT governance and business-IT alignment The best papers in this mini-track will be invited for fast track publication in International Journal of IT/Business Alignment and Governance (IJITBAG).

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers for minitrack on Social media and disinformation AMCIS 2019

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers for minitrack on Social media and disinformation AMCIS 2019 Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 04:32:01 +0000 From: Shah, Vishal <shah3v(a)cmich.edu> To: aisworld-request(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld-request(a)lists.aisnet.org>, AISWorld <aisworld-bounces(a)lists.aisnet.org>, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to Social media and disinformation minitrack, under the Information Security and Privacy track of the 2019 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 15-17 August, 2019 in Cancun, Mexico Submission deadline is March 1, 2019. Following is a short description of the minitrack. Minitrack Chair: Rishikesh Jena, University of Alabama, rjena(a)cba.ua.edu This minitrack seeks papers that elaborate an address the underlying causes of disinformation through technological means. Researchers have identified how false information is spread more quickly, deeper, and further due to human nature accepting rumors more quickly over truthful statements (Vosoughi, Roy & Aral 2018). The use of social technologies, which allow for quick dissemination of information further encourages this dynamic by offering strong user engagement but little to no context to users. A balancing act is required in the use of these technologies between mechanisms for disseminating information while allowing us to check the validity of this information. Technological developments (algorithms, big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and smart technologies) hold the promise of combating misinformation. At the same time, artificial intelligence, big data, and algorithms offer little to no access to information that they make inferences about our online actions that are often used to present advertisements or information to us. While the impact of disinformation is mostly believed to influence socio-political opinion, however, it is also likely to affect the world of business. For example, troll farms are buying advertising to disseminate information on a scale that can potentially reach millions of users. Additionally, this information can spread within an organization via “Enterprise Social Media” (ESM) (Leonardi, Huysman, & Steinfield, 2013). ESM can spread disinformation within the organization, hence making internal operations of an organization susceptible to disinformation/misinformation. This can become especially problematic if the organization is in the business of information dissemination such as Facebook and Twitter. What mechanisms frameworks are needed to ensure institutions have immunity against “fake news”. Thus, combating disinformation is a dual challenge, as it can impact the supply and demand side of information dissemination business. We encourage submissions dealing with social media and interaction of “fake news” at an individual level as well as enterprise levels. In this track, we are therefore looking for research on the diverse causes of misinformation/disinformation in social technologies and a variety of ways that these technologies can help us combat it. We welcome articles that detail how technological enterprises such as Facebook or Twitter as a unit) develop strategies to combat disinformation as well as theoretical frameworks we can draw on to develop such strategies. This mini-track welcomes all types of empirical and theoretical contributions. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Enterprise responses to fight disinformation - Case Studies of enterprises that have fallen prey to disinformation campaigns - Technical solutions and their scalability to protect the integrity of information - User education and usage policies in the space of 'fake news" - The ability of ESM to discriminate between real and doctored information given that technical tools (such as algorithms, big data, artificial intelligence etc.) are also used by disinformation campaigns References: Leonardi, P., Huysman, M., & Steinfield, C.

Following is a short description of the minitrack. Minitrack Chair: Gustav Verhulsdonck, Central Michigan University, verhu1g(a)cmich.edu This mini track seeks papers at the intersection of User Experience (UX) design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and disinformation. Design for user experiences is one way to tackle the problem of disinformation. Today’s technological devices may promote the engagement of a user by designers utilizing deep knowledge of the user’s behavior and psychology (Choi & Kim 2004; Chou & Ting 2003). Persuasive design and design for behavior motivate users to stay longer on a platform by “gaming” their behavior or decisions through the design of an interface (Fogg 2002; Lockton et al. 2010). It can range from simplifying a design with a clear call-to-action so that the user makes a purchase, coax them into staying on the platform, or from deceptive practices where threatening language is used to prevent users from opting in/out of policies (aka “confirmshaming”). Often, design practices can serve to clarify things for the user, but they may also utilize disinformation and serve the underlying economic motive of the platform. What mechanisms can help prevent disinformation from a design point of view? Which design practices should UX designers consider to counter disinformation and develop more transparent, ethical design for users? We encourage all types of papers dealing with the design of disinformation exploring issues of agency, platforms, and design in light of the challenges of user experience. This mini-track welcomes all types of empirical and theoretical contributions. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Business models of internet companies and their relation to disinformation/misinformation - Political and societal impacts of disinformation/misinformation - Efficacy of measures to counter disinformation/misinformation - Social bots and their impacts on changes in perception "usser experience" - HCI perspectives on disinformation/misinformation Link to the track/minitrak: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… References: Choi, D., & Kim, J.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers for minitrack on Rhetoric, Technology, and (Dis)information AMCIS 2019 Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 04:33:44 +0000 From: Shah, Vishal <shah3v(a)cmich.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to Rhetoric, Technology, and (Dis)information minitrack, under the Information Security and Privacy track of the 2019 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 15-17 August, 2019 in Cancun, Mexico Submission deadline is March 1, 2019. Following is a short description of the minitrack. Minitrack Chair: James Melton, Central Michigan University, melto1jh(a)cmich.edu This minitrack seeks to explore the relationship between rhetoric, social media platforms, and disinformation. One of the ways to deal with disinformation and to avoid exacerbating biases is to have a general population trained in rhetoric. Because the discipline of rhetoric studies the effects of persuasion on audiences, it can help make those audiences more aware of mechanisms of spreading disinformation. For example, recent papers studied how to inoculate people against misinformation by asking them to play roles such as “clickbait monger” seeking to get clicks themselves or to act as “conspiracy theorist." It was found that when made aware of the ease that misinformation could be spread, people were more likely to be critical of it in the future (Roozenbeek et al. 2018; van der Linden et al. 2017). Such interventions demonstrate that rhetorical awareness of mechanisms that enable the spread of disinformation can help combat bias through awareness. We welcome papers at the intersection of rhetoric, psychology, and information systems that attempt to solve the problem of disinformation from an interdisciplinary standpoint. This mini-track welcomes all types of empirical and theoretical contributions. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Political persuasion using technology - Safeguards against "fake news" - Technical solution(s) to identify and combat disinformation - Impact of dis/misinformation on an individual, group, and societal levels - Changes in the very meaning of "facts" - Interaction of disinformation and supposed "self-expertise" (e.g., Dunning-Kruger Effect) - Technical traps set up by bots to entice social media users, and its behavioral impacts - Frameworks to combat disinformation/misinformation Link to the track/minitrak: https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… References: Roozenbeek, J., & van der Linden, S.

Jenkins, Brigham Young University Jeffrey Proudfoot, Bentley University Joseph Valacich, University of Arizona G. Mark Grimes, University of Houston Jay F. Nunamaker, Jr., University of Arizona Abstract Organizational members who conceal information about adverse behaviors present a substantial risk to that organization. Yet the task of identifying who is concealing information is extremely difficult, expensive, error-prone, and time-consuming. We propose a unique methodology for identifying concealed information: measuring people’s mouse-cursor movements in online screening questionnaires. We theoretically explain how mouse-cursor movements captured during a screening questionnaire differ between people concealing information and truth tellers. We empirically evaluate our hypotheses using an experiment during which people conceal information about a questionable act. While people completed the screening questionnaire, we simultaneously collected mouse-cursor movements and electrodermal activity—the primary sensor used for polygraph examinations—as an additional validation of our methodology. We found that mouse-cursor movements can significantly differentiate between people concealing information and people telling the truth. Mouse-cursor movements can also differentiate between people concealing information and truth tellers on a broader set of comparisons relative to electrodermal activity. Both mouse-cursor movements and electrodermal activity have the potential to identify concealed information, yet mouse-cursor movements yielded significantly fewer false positives. Our results demonstrate that analyzing mouse-cursor movements has promise for identifying concealed information. This methodology can be automated and deployed online for mass screening of individuals in a natural setting without the need for human facilitators. Our approach further demonstrates that mouse-cursor movements can provide insight into the cognitive state of computer users.

These communities are supported by emergency dispatch agencies that share digital traces of task-critical information. However, the communities of responders often comprise an informal network of people and lack structured mechanisms of information sharing. To standardize the exchange of task-critical information in communities of responders, we develop a conceptual modeling grammar. We base the grammar on an activity-theory perspective and ground it in an analysis of emergency dispatch incident reports. The paper contributes to research in dispatch-mediated emergency response literature by (1) developing a framework of elements and relationships to support critical information flow within emergency communities of responders, (2) developing a conceptual modeling grammar for modeling emergency tasks in dispatch-mediated emergency response, and (3) implementing a prototype system to demonstrate the utility of the conceptual modeling grammar.

Storey, Georgia State University Richard L. Baskerville, Georgia State University; Curtin University Abstract Online support communities are popular for consumers of information technology products who might need help identifying or resolving a problem. Information technology products, in general, have their own needs and requirements. Prior research has focused on the intermediate benefits of online support communities to companies, such as knowledge contribution and community participation. This study, in contrast, investigates the less explored issue of value creation by online support communities with respect to consumer postpurchase outcomes. To do so, we develop an affect (emotional) process model to understand how customers’ postpurchase outcomes of information technology products are influenced through cognitive and affective processes after a product failure. Special attention is paid to the roles of affect during the recovery process. An empirical assessment of the model uses two online support communities, with a netnography methodology employed for data collection. The results suggest that consumers’ postpurchase outcomes are influenced by affect and regulation, not just cognition. Key influences emerge as the consumers’ own problem appraisals and affective experiences, the consumers’ social group, and regulation provided by company technicians and/or community experts.

Fwd: [AISWorld] PATCH 2019 - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] PATCH 2019 - CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2019 22:29:52 +0200 From: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org PATCH 2019 - CALL FOR PAPERS The 10th International Workshop on Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage (PATCH 2019), co-located with ACM UMAP 2019, 9-12th June 2019 at Larnaca, Cyprus http://patch2019.di.unito.it/ Abstract and Topics Following the successful series of PATCH workshops, PATCH 2019 will be again the meeting point between state of the art cultural heritage (CH) research and personalization research. For those using any kind of technology, while focusing on ubiquitous and adaptive scenarios, to enhance the personal experience in CH sites. The workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of CH and are interested in exploring the potential of state of the art of mobile and personalized technology (onsite as well as online) to enhance the CH visit experience. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations. Topics (of interest) include, but are not limited to: * Adaptive navigation and personalized browsing in digital and physical CH collections * Recommendation strategies for CH * Adaptation strategies for text and non-verbal content in CH * NLG techniques for mobile user modeling in CH sites * Integration of virtual and physical collections * Ambient CH * Mobile museum guides & personal museum assistants * Context-aware information presentation in CH * Interactive user interfaces for CH applications * Personalization for group of visitors to CH sites * Personalization for collective CH information authoring and management * Creativity and collaboration support in CH * Session-based recommendation for short-term CH personalization * IoT and CHe * The cloud and CH * Living labs in museums * Robots in museums * Augmented Reality for CH * Gestural interfaces for CHapplications * 3D and virtual reality for CH * Community mapping for CH information sharing * Analysis of behaviour patterns to improve CH recommendation * Conversational agents for CH * Accessible personalized CH Motivation CH has traditionally been a privileged area for personalization research. Visitors come to CH sites willing to experience and learn new things, usually without a clear idea of what to expect. CH sites are typically rich in objects and information; much more than the visitor can absorb during the limited time of a visit. There are two main challenges: Firstly, can we support CH exploration for first-time and anonymous visitors, taking into account that many people access cultural sites only once, or they interact with digital services anonymously? Secondly, when it is possible to track users over time, can we provide an engaging experience for the 'digital', 'mobile' and 'traditional' CH visitors before, during and after a visit by exploiting information from previous interactions on CH sites and elsewhere on the ubiquitous Web. Further, an interesting problem to explore is whether this kind of support can be a basis for maintaining a lifelong chain of personalized CH experiences. This is true, not only in "traditional" CH sites, but also in cities, which reflect the varied history of mankind and are rich of places and objects representing shared values for the population, to be preserved and valorized. Actually modern urban planning shows an avalanche of varying initiatives focused on creative urban development. Consequently, it has become fashionable to regard cultural expressions like arts, festivals, exhibitions, media, design, digital expression and research as signposts for urban individuality and identity and departures for a new urban cultural industry. Specifically regarding the first challenge, a lot of information about general user behavior can be acquired by mining previous visitors' interactions and this can help the development of session-based personalization techniques which can be applied to first-time visitors. Submissions Page limits: Long papers 6 pages excluding references; Short papers 4 pages excluding references; Position paper/Demo papers 2 pages excluding references. Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
