Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been defined as any
device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize
its chance of success at some goal (Russell & Norvig, 2016). Such
technologies include, among others, machine learning, rule-based
systems, natural language processing, and speech recognition (Eggers,
Schatsky, & Viechnicki, 2017).
After a series of rises and falls in popularity, AI technologies are now
experiencing a surge in diffusion, and are also beginning to be adopted
in areas of the public sector (Desouza, 2018). These include, for
instance, public education (Rockoff, Jacob, Kane, & Staiger, 2010),
social policy (Chandler, Levitt, & List, 2011), public health regulation
and healthcare provision (Kang, Kuznetsova, Luca, & Choi, 2013; Meskó,
Hetényi, & Győrffy, 2018), law enforcement (Goldsmith & Crawford, 2014),
and tax services (Nuance Communications, 2016).
Despite the wide array of areas of the public sector in which AI has
potential transformative effects, research on AI and government is still
scarce, and assumptions on the impacts of AI in government are still far
from conclusive. On the one hand, AI applications are seen as increasing
efficiency and effectiveness by automating cognitive labour, freeing up
high-value work, providing predictive capabilities for decision-making,
and improving services to citizen queries (Eggers et al., 2017). On the
other hand, the introduction of AI is accompanied by fears related to
the destruction of jobs caused by automation (McClure, 2018), the
infringements of privacy caused by digital surveillance (The Economist,
2016), and the reinforcement of biases in policy-making caused by
algorithmic governance (Janssen & Kuk, 2016). Few existing empirical
accounts have started to provide a general mapping of challenges of
adopting AI in the public sector (Sun & Medaglia, 2018).
This Special Issue of the Social Science Computer Review calls for
research that can unbox the potentials, challenges, impacts, and
theoretical implications of AI in government. We welcome research from
different social science perspectives, including Public Administration,
Information Systems, Sociology, Information Science, and Management,
that can combine relevant research foci, with rigorous methodological
approaches. Interdisciplinary submissions and submission with novel
theoretical implications are also encouraged.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
* Organizational Factors and Adoption Challenges of AI in Government
* AI for Public Policy and Services
* AI and Algorithmic Public Governance
* AI and Public Regulation
* AI, Data and Advanced Analytics in Government
* AI and Data Management and Stewardship in Government
* Maturity and Sustainability of AI in Government
* Smart Cities in the Age of AI
* The Ethics of AI in Government
* The Dark Side of AI in Government
* Theoretical Implications of AI in Government
Reviewing process
The Special Issue will apply a two-step reviewing process.
* In the first step, we require the submission of an extended abstract
of maximum 2000 words (excluding references) that presents the study’s
research question(s), theoretical framework, methodology, preliminary
and/or expected findings, and expected contributions to research and
practice. This extended abstract is mandatory and will be used by the
editors for selecting which abstracts will be invited to make full paper
submission. The Guest Editors will make selections based on topic
relevance, novelty, and potential contributions of the study.
* In the second step, the completed submissions will be managed by the
Guest Editors, and will be reviewed by at least two expert reviewers per
paper, in a double-blind process. The submissions will undergo a maximum
of two rounds of review. Papers with a final acceptance are expected to
be published online in the second half of 2020.

Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2019 Mini Track: Business Simulation in
Higher Education
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 09:32:01 +0000
From: Anabela Mesquita <abmesquita(a)gmail.com>
To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
CC: Paulino Silva <paulinosilva123(a)gmail.com>
Dear colleagues
There are still a few days to submit your manuscripts to the AMCIS 2019
Mini-track, Business Simulation in Higher Education.
The AMCIS 2019 conference will take place in Cancún, México, between
15th and 17th of August 2019.
Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED)
Minitrack 1: Business Simulation in Higher Education
Nowadays, the development of soft skills is considered as important as
the more technical and theoretical knowledge in order to become
employable and competitive. Employers are looking for professionals that
possess practical knowledge and understand clearly the business where
they are entering in. One possible solution to help students to develop
those capabilities is through the use of business simulations as these
simulate the real situation, where the student potentially might enroll,
helping key actors to feel and learn as if they were in the world of
work. This mini track is an opportunity for educators, researchers,
students and practitioners to share and exchange ideas, techniques and
experiences regarding business simulation, its development, application
and pedagogical approaches.
More and more, the world of work is demanding soft skills as a requisite
to enter the job market. As a consequence, higher education institutions
are introducing changes in the pedagogical approaches and teaching
methods in order to meet these needs and expectations. One solution that
is being used is the incorporation of Business Simulation methodologies
in the most diverse courses, including management and accounting at
undergraduate and graduate levels, and in MBAs. These type of solutions
enables students to develop important skills, together with practical
knowledge. Competences such as teamwork, critical thinking and analysis,
innovation and creativity are some examples of what can be developed and
is valued by employers, nowadays. This mini track provides an
opportunity for educators, researchers, students and practitioners to
exchange ideas, techniques and experiences concerning the use of
Simulations as a way to acquire practical knowledge and develop soft
skills. Different submission topics and formats are welcome, ranging
from more theoretical papers describing the approaches behind those
games and simulations, to papers presenting technological possibilities
and even the description of the use of such solutions in higher education.
Suggested topics related with Business Simulation:
Games and business simulation in education
• Virtual learning environments
• Available solutions and technologies
• Pedagogical and methodological issues
• Assessment of the learning outcomes
• Teaching cases
• Theories behind the development and use of business simulation
• Ethical issues
• Challenges faced by educators and students
• Mobile business simulation
• Integration of students in the job market

Subject: [AISWorld] NeuroIS.org Training Course 2019
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 08:58:39 +0000
From: Fischer Thomas <Thomas.Fischer(a)fh-steyr.at>
To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
NeuroIS Training Course 2019
A Pre‐Event of the NeuroIS Retreat 2019
THEME: Getting Started with NeuroIS: Choosing Tools, Methodologies, and
Theories
June 4, 2019, 09.00 – 16.00
Schloss Wilhelminenberg, Vienna, Austria
Tutors: Fred D. Davis, Pierre-Majorique Léger, René Riedl
Because the NeuroIS field is still in a relatively early stage of
development, it is important that interested researchers have
opportunities to learn NeuroIS concepts, including knowledge on human
neurobiology and neuroscience tools. Based on a reasonable degree of
neuroscience knowledge, academics can develop insight that is necessary
to evaluate the potential of neuroscience for specific research areas in
the information systems (IS), design science, and computing disciplines,
and to choose appropriate tools, methods, and theories. Solid knowledge
is indispensable for researchers, reviewers, and journal editors.
The NeuroIS Training Course 2019, an offer of the Society for NeuroIS,
is designed to give participants a basic foundation in major concepts,
methods, and tools related to NeuroIS research. This course is
specifically designed to collaborate in actively developing NeuroIS
research strategies for early-stage research ideas of interest to the
participants. Participants are asked to submit research ideas in
advance, and to come prepared to briefly present and discuss their ideas
in a workshop atmosphere. The tutors – Prof. Fred D. Davis (Texas Tech
University, USA), Pierre-Majorique Léger (HEC Montréal, Canada), and
René Riedl (University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and University
of Linz, Austria) – will provide feedback and suggestions based on the
nature of the research ideas. Participation should provide value for IS,
computer science, and management PhD students and faculty. There are no
specific prerequisites for participation. English is the course language.
The course uses an interactive teaching approach, and it covers
fundamental themes, including the following questions: Why do we need
NeuroIS? How to conduct NeuroIS studies? What constitutes a good NeuroIS
contribution? The course takes a beginner rather than an expert approach
to the material presented, and it is mainly based on the following book:
Riedl, R. & Léger, P.-M.: Fundamentals of NeuroIS: Information Systems
and the Brain. Springer, 2016.
Research ideas must be submitted in English to
info(a)NeuroIS.org<mailto:info@neurois.org> not later than May 10, 2019
(please send a WORD or PDF file). Research idea documents may not exceed
2 pages of text and should include author name(s) and contact
information, as well as a description of: (1) problem statement, (2)
research question(s) and/or hypotheses, (3) intended methods/tools, (4)
expected contribution, and (5) key references. Participants must be
prepared to present their research ideas at the course (the presentation
must not exceed 10 minutes). Based on this presentation, the tutors will
provide their comments and recommendations. Based on this interactive
format, it is hoped that participants get a maximum of feedback on their
research ideas. Please note that it is possible to participate without
submitting a research idea document.
To register for the course, please follow the instructions provided at
www.NeuroIS.org<http://www.neurois.org/pre-event-training-course/>.
Attendees receive a certificate of participation. This course is a
pre‐event of the NeuroIS Retreat 2019; the retreat starts with a
reception and dinner in the evening of June 4.

Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Fifth International Workshop on
Serverless Computing (WoSC)
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 21:47:53 -0500
From: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)gmail.com>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC) 2019
Part of 39th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
(ICDCS 2019)
The workshop will take place in Dallas, Texas, USA.
Over the last four to five years, Serverless Computing (Serverless) has
gained an enthusiastic following in industry as a compelling paradigm
for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent
shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and
micro-services. Many of the major cloud vendors, have released
serverless platforms, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions,
Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM Cloud Functions. There is, however,
little attention from the research community. This workshop brings
together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and
thoughts on future directions.
Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control,
cost, and flexibility. For example, this requires developers to more
carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute,
memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in
contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which
is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent
when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to
monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless
architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and
development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that
developers face are the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to
their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into
the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better
performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable,
and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear,
including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an
important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results
and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be
applied to composition in a serverless environment.
Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers,
demonstrations, or position papers.
The latest version of this CFP is available at
https://www.serverlesscomputing.org/wosc5/cfp/
Topics
This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the
state of practice and state of the art in serverless computing. Topics
of interest include but are not limited to:
* Infrastructure and network optimizations for serverless
applications
* Debugging serverless applications
* Programming models
* Use cases, experiences
* Benchmarks
* Cost models, pricing models, and economics of serverless
* DevOps
* Other topics related to serverless computing
Important Dates
Paper Submission: March 25, 2019
Notification of Acceptance: April 25, 2019
Final Camera-Ready Manuscript: May 1, 2019
Author registration deadline: TBD
Conference: July 7-10, 2019
Papers and Submissions
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished
research/application papers that are not being considered in another
forum.
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed six (6) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point
size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style ), including
figures, tables, and references.
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format. All manuscripts
will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality,
technical strength, rigour in analysis, quality of results, quality of
presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.
Papers conforming to the above guidelines can be submitted through the
paper submission system
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcs2019 select "Workshop
on Serverless Computing" Track after clicking New Submission (top right
button in toolbar).
All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program
committee members. Accepted papers (from both tracks and workshops)
with confirmed presentation will appear in the conference proceedings
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be made available
online through the IEEE Digital Library, as well as through the ACM
Digital Library.
Review policy
IEEE Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the
contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be
disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with
access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the
special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts
submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as
privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference
Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.
Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate
forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers.
An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference,
or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be
present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that
circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its
presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on
time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some
cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance
registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.

**** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE APRIL 15, 2019 ****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STPSA 2019: The 14th IEEE International Workshop on Security, Trust, and
Privacy for Software Applications
In conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Computers, Software, &
Applications (COMPSAC)
Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, July 15-19
Workshop Website: https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2019/stpsa/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goal of the workshop
-----------------------------
This workshop will bring researchers from academia and industry to
discuss methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals
of both pervasive and non-pervasive software applications. This workshop
will focus on techniques, experiences, and lessons learned with respect
to the state of art for the security, trust, and privacy aspects of both
pervasive and non-pervasive software applications along with various
open issues.
Scope of the Workshop
-------------------------------
Information security has become a major concern for software and
applications. Software systems must be engineered with reliable
protection mechanisms with respect to security, privacy, and trust,
while still delivering the expected value of the software to their
customers. The traditional approaches to secure a system (e.g., IDS,
firewalls) are no longer sufficient to address many security, trust, and
privacy (STP) issues. These issues should be addressed by building more
effective STP-aware software applications. The principal obstacle in
developing STP-aware software is that current software specification,
design, implementation, and testing practices do not include adequate
methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals.
Further, emerging techniques such as blockchain bring on new challenges
to adopt them into developing STP-aware software and applications. In
this workshop, we welcome papers on existing and emerging challenges and
requirements of security, privacy, and trust for software applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Security, trust, and privacy specific software development practices
- Security, trust, and privacy requirements elicitation and specification
- Models and languages for STP-aware software specification and design
- Architecture for STP-aware software development
- STP challenges for pervasive software applications
- Testing security, trust, and privacy properties of software applications
- STP management and usability issues in software applications
- User interfaces for STP-aware pervasive and non-pervasive software
- STP challenges in e-services, e.g. e-health, e-government, e-banking,
e-commerce, e-marketing and other web-based and pervasive applications
- STP challenges in mobile software applications
- STP challenges in sensor-based software applications
- User interfaces for secure and privacy-aware pervasive computing
applications
- STP-aware service discovery mechanisms for pervasive computing
environments
- Models for ensuring security, trust, and privacy in pervasive software
applications
- STP issues for handheld device software applications such as healthcare
- Offensive security and attacks on software applications and mitigation
techniques
- Application of blockchain technologies for STP-aware software development
