**Mini-Track Title: Innovation and Project Management**
Track: IT Project Management (SIG ITProjMgmt)
*Description:*
Early researchers such as Peter Drucker defined innovation as firm’s
ultimate *raison d’être*. Innovation creation is considered to be more the
result of a recombination process than of a natural creative process
(Fleming
and Sorenson 2004). Research in this tradition argues that innovative
capabilities are born out of a novel way of combining knowledge(Nelson and
Winter 1982) or out of the ability to reconfigure already existing
combinations (Henderson and Clark 1990). Overall, the innovation process is
difficult, capital intensive, and time consuming. Research acknowledges the
criticality of good project management skills in support of technological
innovation (Lyytinen and Rose 2003). Artifact innovations (such as Apple
iPad, 3D printing, iFit, virtual reality gear) represent the end result of
successful projects. It has also been shown that well managed projects
foster business innovation (Shenhar and Dvir 2007). In the context of
high-tech industries, alliances have been a predominant force driving
innovativeness. Partnerships have also been shown to enhance innovative
capabilities of organizations through means of resources transfer. With
regards to the types of innovation, vast majority of organizations are more
likely to sustain incremental (capability-enhancing) rather than radical
(capability-destroying) innovations (Anderson and Tushman 1990).
*Call for Papers:*

==========================================================================
Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance computing
and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for quantifying
and comparing the performance of different computer systems.
With a large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the
capability of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various
software configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than
science. However, the results of this process drive modern science and are
vital for the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of
applications and systems.
This special session focuses on research work aimed at benchmarking modern
parallel and distributed systems for addressing a number of real world
problems. As such, contributions concerning the definition of new open
platforms, new benchmarks to match modern architectural evolutions, studies
on the aspects of benchmarking different aspects of systems (from raw
runtime performance to energy consumption to energy consumed per data
movement) and mathematical foundations of benchmarking are sought.

Mini-Track Title: IS Leadership Development
Track: IS Leadership and the IT Profession (SIGLEAD)
Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2019
Aims and Scope:
IS Leadership Development is broadly defined to include research on IS
leaders such as CIOs and CTOs, including their roles and careers. Though
articles on IS Leadership Development abound in the practitioner press,
much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic
perspective. IS Leadership Development sets directions, creates
commitment, and adapts the IS unit to fit a changing environment. It is,
thus, an enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike. It is
an issue that should face organizations for many years because
leadership has been a persistent concern of all societies and
organizations. The mini-track seeks to explore the various dimensions,
theoretical bases, and perspectives on IS Leadership Development and to
advance the state of scholarship on the issue. Authors are encouraged to
submit both conceptual and empirical papers that employ a variety of
quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Possible Topics:
CIO and CTO Roles and Careers
* CIO reporting structure
* Strategic positioning within the organization
* Characteristics of a successful leader
* Managing success and failure
Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition)
* Promoting from within the company or hiring from the outside
* Required skills for CIOs and CTOs
* Qualifications for being promoted to CEO
* IS succession planning
Non-Technical Employee Development (i.e. Career Transition for Non-IT
Managers)
* Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and
CTO positions in large enterprises
* Preparation and development of non-technical executives for CIO and
CTO positions for IS as a secondary role in SMEs
* Importance of CIOs to have a "pure" IT background
Important Dates:
* January 7, 2019: System opens for general paper submissions
* March 1, 2019: Paper submissions due (10:00am PST)
* April 15, 2019: Decisions made for Completed Research, ERFs submissions

TRACK DESCRIPTION
Following on the success of this track in 2018, this track serves as the
primary point of contribution and subsequent publication of innovative
meta-research articles. Meta-research (research on research) is a
venerable and valuable research stream within Information Systems.
Meta-research is the discussion that goes on between IS scholars on
issues surrounding the production of IS research. It includes such areas
as discussions of the structure and development of the field, the core
and boundaries of the field, field legitimacy,
scholar/department/journal/ country ranking methods, discussions of
research culture and practices, methods of evaluation of scholarship,
literature reviews and research commentaries.
The purpose of the track includes showcasing unique and leading edge
empirical, theoretical, and commentary papers in the area of
meta-research. Typically, there has not been a good location for these
types of papers within the structure of the usual tracks provided. This
track provides a welcoming space for such papers.
There are three mini-tracks within this track:
Minitrack 1: General Topics in IS Meta-Research
Minitrack Chair: Michael Cuellar, mcuellar(a)georgiasouthern.edu
IS Research is a diverse field, whether it be qualitative or
quantitative, drawing from many theories, methodologies, and uses in
society. Meta-research aims to improve and evaluate research. In this
track, we will accept papers that conduct research on understanding or
evaluating other IS research. This mini-track will serve as a place
where authors can submit their work that may not precisely fit into
other meta-research mini-tracks.
Topics covered in this mini-track might include:
- Core and Boundaries of the Information Systems Field
- Field legitimacy and place within academia
- Methods of evaluating scholarship, tenure and promotion practices e.g
Cuellar (2016), Dennis (2006)
- Scholar/department/journal/ country ranking methods, e.g. Lowry et al
(2007; 2004)
- Research Culture and Practices e.g. Lyttinen (2007)
- Research commentaries- discussions of the state of the art and where
we need to go in research e.g. Orlikowki and Iacono (2001).
Minitrack 2: Literature Reviews in IS
Minitrack Chair: Hirotoshi Takeda, hirotoshi.takeda(a)maine.edu
<mailto:hirotoshi.takeda@maine.edu>
As the Information Systems (IS) discipline makes intellectual
contributions to the academic research field, we need to organize and
reflect on this research in an organized fashion. Understanding specific
contributions to particular areas of the IS field is an important
meta-research exercise.
With all the knowledge that is being created in the IS field, there is a
need to synthesize and organize the existing research in IS. Literature
reviews play the important role of getting a snap-shot look at what we
know, how we know it, and who made the contributions. Literature also
play the important role of providing a basis from where we can start and
identify areas of research that are in need of our researchers’ attention.
The importance of this activity is seen in the publication of literature
review papers in journals. However, traditionally there has been a lack
of venue for these papers. This minitrack was proposed to address this
need. This minitrack will be the basis for IS researcher to conduct
literature review papers and use at the AMCIS conference as a base for
feedback and development of the literature review.
Minitrack 3: Adoption of novel theories into IS
Minitrack Co-Chairs: Michael Cuellar, mcuellar(a)georgiasouthern.edu
Duane Truex, dtruex(a)gsu.edu
As the Information Systems (IS) discipline as an applied discipline
drawing from fields as diverse as engineering, computer science,
psychology, sociology and management has historically brought new and
novel theories and metatheories into the field from those various
disciplines. Understanding how those theories and metatheories have been
utilized in which particular areas of the IS field is an important
meta-research exercise.
With these novel theories being introduced into Information Systems, it
is important to recognize that we need to properly appropriate them into
the field. We must first use them appropriately as developed by the
source field and then expand and enhance those theories and
meta-theories to account for information systems phenomena (Holmström
and Truex 2011).
This mini-track seeks to provide a venue to discuss how novel theories
should be introduced and appropriated into the information systems field.
Minitrack 4: Social Capital in the IS Community
Minitrack Co-Chairs: Michael Chau, mchau(a)business.hku.hk
Jennifer Xu, JXU(a)bentley.edu
Information Systems (IS) has made significant progress in accumulating
social capital, in addition to intellectual capital, as an academic
discipline. Such social capital can be evidenced through various forms
of connections and collaboration among scholars such as working in the
same institution, co-authorship, advisor-student relationship,
conference co-organization, committee co-membership, and editorial board
co-membership. These social interactions weave scholars into a complex
social network in which knowledge is generated, exchanged, and updated.
It is important to understand how the social ties are formed and
maintained, how social capital influences the creation of knowledge in
the field, and the development of the IS discipline in general. This
mini-track aims to solicit papers that are related to such topics as
social network analysis and visualization of the IS scholar
collaboration network, the interplay between social capital and
intellectual capital in IS, and the social identify of the IS discipline.
This mini-track aims to solicit papers that are related to some of the
following important topics:
- Social network analysis on the IS scholar collaboration network;
- Measuring social capital in the IS scholar collaboration network;
- IS scholar social network visualization;
- The relationship between co-authorship and other social ties;
- The past, present and future of social capital development in IS;
- Identifying sub-communities in the IS discipline;
- The social identify of the IS discipline;
- The social capital of IS scholars outside the IS community.

MHDW 2019
8th Mining Humanistic Data Workshop
May 24-26, 2019
Crete, Greece
http://conferences.cwa.gr/mhdw2019/
NEW: Selected papers from MHDW 2019 will be invited to be included in
the indexed Algorithms international journal Special Issue "Mining
Humanistic Data 2019" !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The abundance of available data that is retrieved from or is related to
the areas of Humanities and the human condition challenges the research
community in processing and analyzing it. The aim is two-fold: on the
one hand, to extract knowledge that will help understand human behavior,
creativity, way of thinking, reasoning, learning, decision making,
socializing and even biological processes; on the other hand, to exploit
the extracted knowledge by incorporating it into intelligent systems
that will support humans in their everyday activities.
The nature of humanistic data can be multimodal, semantically
heterogeneous, dynamic, time and space-dependent, and highly
complicated. Translating humanistic information, e.g. behavior, state of
mind, artistic creation, linguistic utterance, learning and genomic
information into numerical or categorical low-level data is a
significant challenge on its own. New techniques, appropriate to deal
with this type of data, need to be proposed and existing ones adapted to
its special characteristics.
Ubiquitous Computing applications (aka Pervasive Computing, Mobile
Computing, Ambient Intelligence, etc.) collect large volumes of usually
heterogeneous data in order to effect adaptation, learning and in
general context awareness. Data matching, fusion and mining techniques
are necessary to ensure human centred application functionality.
An important aspect of humanistics centers around managing, processing
and computationally analyzing Biological and Biomedical data. Hence, one
of the aims of this workshop will be to also attract researchers that
are interested in designing, developing and applying efficient data and
text mining techniques for discovering the underlying knowledge existing
in Biomedical data, such as sequences, gene expressions and pathways.
--------------
Aim and topics
--------------
The single track 1-day workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary
approaches that focus on the application of innovative as well as

rules, ontologies and alignments, clustering, filtering, learning,
classifier systems, neural networks, support vector machines,
preprocessing, post processing, feature selection, visualization
techniques) to data derived from all areas of Humanistic Sciences, e.g.
linguistic, historical, behavioral, psychological, artistic, musical,
educational, social etc., Ubiquitous Computing and Bioinformatics.

SYMPOSIUM*****
IEEE COMPSAC 2019
Hosted by Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
July 15-19, 2019
Data-Driven Intelligence for a Smarter World
CALL FOR PAPERS: WORKSHOP, FAST ABSTRACT, STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
FOR FULL INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT HTTPS://IEEECOMPSAC.COMPUTER.ORG/2019
COMPSAC is the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on Computers,
Software, and Applications. It is a major international forum for
academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and
advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and
software technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2019 is
Data-Driven Intelligence for a Smarter World.
In the era of “big data” there is an unprecedented increase in the
amount of data collected in data warehouses. Extracting meaning and
knowledge from these data is crucial for governments and businesses to
support their strategic and tactical decision making. Furthermore,
artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) makes it possible
for machines, processing large amounts of such data, to learn and
execute tasks never before accomplished. Advances in big data-related
technologies are increasing rapidly. For example, virtual assistants,
smart cars, and smart home devices in the emerging Internet of Things
world, can, we think, make our lives easier. But despite the perceived
benefits of these technologies/methodologies, there are many challenges
ahead. What will be the social, cultural, and economic challenges
arising from these developments? What are the technical issue related,
for example, to the privacy and security of data used by AI/ML systems?
How might humans interact with, rely on, or even trust AI predictions or
decisions emanating from these technologies? How can we prevent such
data-driven intelligence from being used to make malicious decisions?
WORKSHOP PAPERS
COMPSAC 2019 offers 20+ workshops on topics related to computing,
software, and applications. For a full list of workshops, please visit

Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Responsible IS Research for a
Better World
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2019 15:53:39 +0000
From: Prof. Robert M DAVISON <isrobert(a)cityu.edu.hk>
To: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Dear Colleagues
I am pleased to announce a new special issue at the Information Systems
Journal: Responsible IS Research for a Better World
The notion that there is a moral obligation for researchers to make the
world a better place is not new, yet one seldom encounters substantive
research that practically espouses such a view. Noting the lack of such
research, Walsham (2012) makes an impassioned call to arms in a short
article titled "Are We Making the World a Better Place with Information
Systems?". Providing further evidence of the critical need for
responsible research, scholars have formed a new virtual organisation
named "Responsible Research in Business and Management" (RRBM). RRBM has
the avowed focus of "inspiring, encouraging, and supporting credible and
useful research in the business and management disciplines"
(http://rrbm.network).
We suggest that there are many different ways in which responsible
research can lead to a better world. Beyond the interests of individual
organisations, scholars need to also consider the grander scheme of how
research can make the world a better place, not only in economic terms,
but also socially, personally and environmentally. Occasionally we do
come across articles in which it is clear that the authors are pursuing
an agenda that aims to contribute to 'making the world a better place'.
Examples include: Zheng and Yu's (2016) study of the socialised
affordances of social media in the processes of collective action, with
a detailed examination of the 'Free Lunch for Children' charity in
China; Tim et al.'s (2017) exploration of how the boundary-spanning
competences of social media function as a digital response mechanism in
natural disasters; and Díaz Andrade and Doolin's (2016) account of how
Information and Communication Technologies contribute to the social
inclusion of newly settled refugees. But these examples are too far and
few between.
Apart from articles that demonstrate the beneficial impacts of social
media and IT more generally, a stream of 'critical social IS research'
emerged in the 1990s focusing on the social and ethical implications of
technology in organizations and society. Critical IS researchers have
explored how IS that was deployed with the objective of increasing
efficiency and instrumental rationality often also increased managerial
or social control, surveillance and domination, with negative social
consequences in organizations and society (see e.g. Howcroft and Trauth,
2005). Thus, the purpose of critical IS research has been to contribute
knowledge with transformative and emancipatory potential in order to
make a world a better place. Although recognized as a third research
stream (Orlikowski and Baroudi, 1991; Chen and Hirschheim, 2004) that
addressed practically, socially and ethically relevant questions,
critical IS research has remained somewhat outside the mainstream. It is
pertinent to note that the ISJ was one of a few premier journals to
advance critical research by publishing a Special Issue "Exploring the
Critical Agenda in IS Research" (Cecez-Kecmanovic, Klein and Brooke, 2008).
Notwithstanding these attempts, it does not seem to be an exaggeration
to suggest that, for most IS researchers, the notion that they can make
the world a better place with IS is far from both their intellectual
comfort zone and their scholarly intentions. For instance, Clarke (2017)
suggests that much research in data markets and e-commerce takes the
view that consumers' privacy rights are mere barriers to corporate
profits: researchers assist organisations to find ways to persuade
consumers to give up these rights for as little compensation as
possible. Some scholars take this a step further and suggest that
customers can be persuaded to disclose confidential and private
information voluntarily (i.e. without any compensation) if the
organisation is able to establish a dyadic and reciprocal relationship
with the consumer. As Zimmer et al. (2010, p.404) note, individuals have
the "inherent tendency to socially orient themselves toward another. ...
People are biologically wired to respond in kind to polite social
advances provided those advances follow socially acceptable guidelines".
Organisations can thus leverage these inherent tendencies to solicit
private information. But does research that suggests ways in which
individual privacy can be undermined really help to make the world a
better place?
Meanwhile, research into 'green IS' often takes the view that a green
image can help the corporate bottom line, yet fails to consider whether
there are any net benefits for the environment (cf. Elliot and Webster,
2017). Similar concerns afflict other instances of IS research, notably
in the management-employee tensions that characterise the implementation
of enterprise systems. We are not suggesting that IS researchers should
shun these topics, but we do suggest that researchers need to consider
whose interests they are privileging or protecting: there are multiple
valid stakeholders (organisations, employees, customers) that can be the
focus of research. As noted in an editorial in this journal, researchers
often unconsciously succumb to the interests of the hegemonic forces
(usually corporate entities) embodied in the de facto powers associated
with the contexts that we investigate (Davison, 2018).
Another example of a missed opportunity to make the world a better place
relates to the technology-based start-ups that continue to drive
entrepreneurship. McKendrick (2017) suggests that the rapid growth of
this sector depends on a variety of technological factors such as: cloud
services, low cost open source software, and big data analytics
capabilities. In parallel, social entrepreneurship also continues to
grow (Zimmer & Pearson 2018), yet there is little evidence that the
latter is a focus of IS researchers, who seem instead to be enchanted by
the technology. If we are to make the world a better place, it is
imperative to study both the technological drivers and the social
aspects of entrepreneurship in the context of a broader ecosystem.
In striving to make the world a better place, it is possible that
researchers may make impossible demands from the digital economy leading
to confusion, policy paralysis and regulatory overreach (cf. Bhagwati,
2004). This research often criticises digital enterprises and
initiatives (especially in developing countries) for their generation of
unequal outcomes, exploitation of employees, provision of inadequate
working conditions and engagement in a host of other unethical practices
(Sandeep and Ravishankar, 2018). We suggest that this is a different
category of irresponsible research: it usually ignores compelling
evidence of how commercial digital endeavours create social impact when
such findings are inconsistent with researchers' preferred worldviews.
In such research we often encounter situations where researchers claim
to speak on behalf of beneficiary stakeholders yet provide little
evidence that they speak with the same stakeholders in order to help
them understand the potential impacts of IS on their lives (cf.
Peticca-Harris et al., 2019).
In this special issue, we seek articles that both embody principles of
responsible research and contribute explicitly to demonstrating how IS
research contributes to our understanding of how IS makes the world a
better place. Following Majchrzak et al. (2016), we suggest that
contributing authors should not limit their research designs and thus
contributions to the scholarly community. They should also consider the
practical and policy implications for a wide range of practitioners (not
only managers) as well as the broader social world. Finally, they can
consider the non-human world of the environment, given our focus on
making the world a better place through IS research.
While the principles for responsible research may be contested, we refer
to a number of prominent examples. For instance, the Lund declaration
(https://era.gv.at/object/document/130) suggests that 'Europe must speed
up solutions to tackle grand challenges through alignment, research,
global cooperation and achieving impact', with a strong emphasis on
innovation. We echo this call and hope that contributing authors will
consider how they can contribute to grand challenges in innovative ways
that will help to make the world a better place.
A more detailed set of principles is offered by the RRBM Network, who
note
(https://rrbm.network/position-paper/principles-of-responsible-science/)
that "responsible research depends on an ecosystem that supports,
recognizes, and rewards, in a coordinated fashion, the following seven
principles.
Principle 1: Service to Society: Development of knowledge that benefits
business and the broader society, locally and globally, for the ultimate
purpose of creating a better world.
Principle 2: Stakeholder Involvement: Research that engages different
stakeholders in the research process, without compromising the
independence of inquiry.
Principle 3: Impact on Stakeholders: Research that has an impact on
diverse stakeholders, especially research that contributes to better
business and a better world.
Principle 4: Valuing Both Basic and Applied Contributions: Contributions
in both the theoretical domain to create fundamental knowledge and in
applied domains to address pressing and current issues.
Principle 5: Valuing Plurality and Multidisciplinary Collaboration:
Diversity in research themes, methods, forms of scholarship, types of
inquiry, and interdisciplinary collaboration to reflect the plurality
and complexity of business and societal problems.
Principle 6: Sound Methodology: Research that implements sound
scientific methods and processes in both quantitative and qualitative or
both theoretical and empirical domains.
Principle 7: Broad Dissemination: Diverse forms of knowledge
dissemination that collectively advance basic knowledge and practice".
A broader set of goals has been established by the United Nations. These
17 sustainable development goals
(https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-edevelopment-goals/<https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/>)
include several that are salient to the work undertaken by IS
researchers. For example, Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
may relate to IS research on Smart Cities, and Goal 13: Climate Action
may relate to research undertaken in Green IS.
A final set of ideas comes from the UK Government's Research Evaluation
Framework, which covers five broad areas of relevance including:
economic growth; health and welfare; public policy; culture; and quality
of life and work.
Recognition of these prominent principles (or others) and a deliberate
attempt to adhere to (some of) them in research design and reporting
will be taken as one form of evidence that a submitted article is in
scope for this special issue. We expect that authors will explicitly
address such principles in both the text of their research articles and
in the cover letter.
Topics that are relevant to this call for papers include, but are not
limited to, demonstrations of how IS can bring about positive impacts in
such domains as:
· Poverty alleviation
· Providing banking services for the unbanked
· Enhancing or protecting the environment
· Creating social value for individual citizens, especially in
marginalised communities
· Catering to the legitimate workplace needs of employees
· Supporting social entrepreneurship
· Enforcing protection of data privacy rights of individual data subjects
· Developing policies that strengthen the rights of employees and
citizens in civil society and the rights of non-human actors (fauna,
flora, natural ecosystems) in the environment.
· Contributing directly to one or more of the SDGs (e.g. health)
· Critiquing existing projects as to whether and how they support
equity/inequity' (e.g. Aadhar in India)
· Proposing new methodological or theoretical approaches to
understanding the 'better world' concept (e.g. critical realism)

Mini-track Title: Strategic Implications of Blockchain, Bitcoin, and the
Internet of Things (IoT)
Track: Strategic and Competitive Uses of Information Technology
Mini-track Description
It is widely speculated that the Blockchain distributed data architecture
will be both important and disruptive with wide ranging applications. The
Blockchain structure takes advantage of cryptography, redundancy, and
self-validation to create an amazingly robust, secure, and potentially
anonymous distributed data structure. The security of the Blockchain
structure has been proven in the extreme environment of cryptocurrency,
where it serves as the backbone of Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has become a
legitimate currency accepted in thousands of stores, its true test of data
security is that it has been accepted in some of the least reputable
transactions in the world. Bitcoin is sometimes called a "trustless"
technology, not because it is trustworthy, but because it reduces or
eliminates the need for parties to trust each other and the need for banks,
governments, or other 3rd parties to verify data and transactions.
The ability to have absolute confidence in data and transactions without a
centralized clearinghouse can radically affect accounting, auditing, risk
management, information systems, banking, financial services, national
sovereignty, currency markets, supply chains, marketing, and privacy.
Blockchain may also provide an appropriate backbone for the much heralded
"internet of things (IoT)." Future IoT applications will depend more heavily
on the level of trust between devices and people. Papers in this mini-track
would investigate the role of blockchain as an enabling technology for
financial transactions, cryptocurrencies, and the proliferation of the
Internet of Things. A wide range of theoretical perspectives and research
methods are welcome within this mini-track.
