-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Workshop "Hybrid Collaboration - Moving Beyond Purely Co-Located or Remote Collaboration" @ ECSCW '19 Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 10:50:45 +0000 From: Neumayr Thomas <Thomas.Neumayr(a)fh-hagenberg.at> Reply-To: Neumayr Thomas <Thomas.Neumayr(a)fh-hagenberg.at> To: abis(a)l3s.de <abis(a)l3s.de>, fgcscw(a)lists.lrz.de <fgcscw(a)lists.lrz.de>, fg-cscw(a)lists.gi.de <fg-cscw(a)lists.gi.de>, wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu>, eusset(a)listserv.zimt.uni-siegen.de <eusset(a)listserv.zimt.uni-siegen.de>, cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk <cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk>, cscw-all(a)jiscmail.ac.uk <cscw-all(a)jiscmail.ac.uk> [Apologies for possible crosspostings] Call for Participation Workshop "Hybrid Collaboration - Moving Beyond Purely Co-Located or Remote Collaboration" @ ECSCW 2019, Salzburg, Austria More info:https://ecscw2019workshop.projekte.fh-hagenberg.at <https://ecscw2019workshop.projekte.fh-hagenberg.at/> *) Important Dates Deadline for submission of position papers: April 15, 2019. Notification of acceptance: May 2, 2019. Date of Workshop: June 8, 2019. *) Introduction New collaborative practices and technologies increasingly blur the traditional boundaries between co-located and remote collaboration. Using technologies such as connected interactive whiteboards and mobile devices, team meetings are increasingly partially distributed with co-located and remote members. Collaboration tools such as Slack also invite users to transcend the dichotomy of synchronous and asynchronous team work. In a first attempt to frame this new kind of collaborative practices, Neumayr et al. (2018) have formulated their framework of “Hybrid Collaboration” to enable the description and analysis of current hybrid collaboration practices. Still, there is a considerable knowledge gap in the field of hybrid collaboration although it is daily common practice. This one-day workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on empirical research methodologies and currently existing practical use cases of hybrid collaboration while ultimately striving for a high level of usability and UX in the tools we develop in the realm of either co-located or remote collaboration settings. *) Workshop Topics The topics dealt with in this workshop include but are not limited to: - What are the opportunities and challenges of researching hybrid collaboration today? - How can collaborative practices in hybrid meetings/events be studied in naturalistic environments? - How can we prototype hybrid collaboration and conduct controlled experiments? - Which established, alternative, or entirely novel research methods can help to tackle those challenges? - How can we reach a shared conceptualization and understanding of hybrid collaboration, meetings and events? These concepts are often expressed through other similar terminologies such as remote, online, hybrid, or virtual collaboration, meetings, and events in partially distributed teams, virtual teams, etc. *) Call for Participation Please consider contributing to this workshop: Participants will be selected based on their position paper submissions (up to 4 pages in length using the recent ACM SIGCHI Extended Abstracts format:https://sigchi.org/templates/). The submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and judged by their quality concerning relevance and potential to stimulate discussion at the workshop. Submissions should be sent to thomas.neumayr(at)fh-hagenberg.at <http://fh-hagenberg.at/>and banu.saatci(at)cc.au.dk <http://cc.au.dk/>in .pdf format on or before April 15, 2019. The notification to the workshop participants will be distributed on May 2, 2019. Accepted position papers will be distributed among the participants well before the workshop to allow a familiarization with each others’ topics. In this process, participants are asked to reflect on the other submissions and bring questions with them. *) Organizers Thomas Neumayr, Mirjam Augstein, Hans-Christian Jetter, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Hagenberg Campus, Austria Banu Saatci, Clemens Klokmose, Aarhus University, Denmark Gabriele Anderst-Kotsis, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Sean Rintel, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Fwd: [WI] 2nd Call for Papers TPSIE Workshop
by Gustaf Neumann 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd Call for Papers TPSIE Workshop Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 08:36:51 +0000 From: Koschmider, Agnes <agnes.koschmider(a)kit.edu> Reply-To: Koschmider, Agnes <agnes.koschmider(a)kit.edu> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Workshop on Trust and Privacy Aspects of Smart Information Environments (TPSIE) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://tpsie.com/ Workshop description --------------------- Personalized support and services, based on data analytics, have been on the rise the last decade. The scale and dimensions of data gathering and shared in smart information environment (SIE) is sometimes hard for users (data subjects) to fathom and leaves them wondering when, why and how data was collected, or information generated. Much of this is due to the combined power of an abundance of data, data analytics methods and machine learning. Machine learning may, for example, be used to support (or automate) repetitive work, warnings of potential errors, and sense non-compliant behavior. Despite the many advantages that such smart information environments offer, there are concerns about the responsible use of the data collected. Specifically, the new European regulations on data protection and privacy, GDPR, have raised awareness on privacy issues and causes concerns for designers and developers of smart information systems. In the age of information and digital technology, the focus of privacy has been on the protection of data directly or indirectly pertaining to a person; i.e. protection of personal information and reduction of risks for data subjects. Emphasis has been on data security and several methods, frameworks and techniques have been developed for ensuring appropriate data security. However, in the age of big data, machine learning, ubiquitous computing and social networks, such a data-centric view is inadequate and the need for a more user-centric view of privacy and protection of user data are required. In fact, with increasing availability of data, technology to aggregate and the possibility to conduct sophisticated analyses, the need to protect data and informational privacy is more important than ever before. This is also critical to build smart information environments that users can trust. For a user-centric view, research has shown that there is a mismatch between legitimate concerns about privacy and actual behavior when it comes to sharing personal information (the "Privacy Paradox"). For those building systems it is necessary to navigate the (users) needs for personalization and wishes to remain anonymous ("Personalization Paradox"). It is indeed this paradox that SIE designers and organizations are faced with when designing services to support people in the various arenas in their personal or work lives and to enhance and foster knowledge sharing among people. Many appreciate the personalized recommendations on websites or personalized messages and notifications received through social media and other online services but oppose the invasion of their privacy. This in turn requires IT designers and developers of SIE to practice privacy-by-design or privacy-by-architecture within the design of SIE and calls for anonymization and cryptographical data protection techniques for log files. Workshop goals --------------- The need to discuss issues related to privacy and trust in smart information environments is an important and highly relevant topic. This workshop's main objective is to start a dialogue and bring together a multi-disciplinary group of researchers, industry and practitioners to share their research, ideas, experiences and concerns in area of organizational and technology privacy and trust in smart information environments. The topics of interest for this workshop, but not limited to, are provided below. Workshop topics - Privacy and trust by design in SIE - Privacy and trust in SIE - System design for privacy awareness - Privacy and trust in (big) data analytics - Privacy-preserving data/process mining - Privacy engineering for (event) logs - Privacy and trust in machine learning - Privacy and trust in data aggregation - Privacy and trust in personalized services - Privacy and trust at the workplace - Privacy and trust and human factors - Privacy and trust in organizational data collection - Empirical analysis of GDPR compliance in service repositories - End-user privacy and trust control/management in SIE - Techniques for GDPR compliant modeling - Methods and techniques for privacy and trust management in SIE Important dates --------------- Paper submission deadline: 31 March 2019 Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2019 Early Bird Registration: 30 May 2019 Workshop day: between 18-20 September *Deadlines correspond to anywhere on earth ('AoE' or 'UTC-12') Submission guidelines Authors should submit original, unpublished research papers.

We have chosen this location and dates to make it easier for colleagues attending ICIS 2019 (Munich, Germany) to attend the GSW 2019. The workshop will aim to explore how new and emerging forms of (out-)sourcing and offshoring, challenge sourcing practices and theories, and consequently identify new directions for research and practice. This workshop aims to bring together viewpoints from various disciplines, including IB, Strategy, OM, OB and IS on global sourcing of IT, Business Services and Innovation. We also focus on teaching aspects related to outsourcing and offshoring with fast track for publishing high quality teaching cases in Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases<http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jittc/index.html>. Paper Track We invite research articles, work in progress and ‘focus on practice’ papers that investigate topics relating to global (out-)sourcing and offshoring. In particular, the workshop will endeavour to present the views from client, supplier and advisory viewpoints, from strategic, operational and social perspectives. Some of the specific themes that are of interest in this workshop are: * Sourcing decision making * Sourcing configurations (multi-sourcing, plural sourcing, etc.) * Supplier and client capabilities and competences * Contractual and relational governance * Sourcing eco-system * Impact sourcing * Cloud services * Crowdsourcing * New and emerging sourcing models including robotic process automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence * Captive (in-house) and shared service centres * Backsourcing/re-shoring * Knowledge-intensive services and innovation in outsourcing/offshoring * Cultural and social aspects of sourcing practice * Emerging topics and concepts in sourcing not covered above We are interested in papers that are both conceptual and empirically-based. Teaching Cases Track We are interested in teaching cases on outsourcing and offshoring which we would consider for publication in Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases<https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-information-technology-teaching…> (JITTC). Since 2010 we have been publishing selected papers as book chapters in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing<http://www.springer.com/series/7911> (by Springer<http://www.springer.com/>). It is likely that we will publish another book based on the papers from this Workshop. Furthermore, selected papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their paper to be considered for publication in Journal of Information Technology<https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-information-technology/journal2…> and high quality teaching cases in JITTC<http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jittc/index.html>.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - Discipline-Agility Balance for Software-System Development Methods - special issue Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:40:13 -0500 (CDT) From: mmora(a)securenym.net To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: roconnor(a)computing.dcu.ie, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de, buchalc(a)vse.cz ***************** CALL FOR PAPERS ****************** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: August 31, 2019 SPECIAL ISSUE ON Discipline-Agility Balance for Software-System Development Methods International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach (IJITSA) MOTIVATION While Agile Software-System Development methods (such as Scrum, XP) have permeated in the Software Engineering academic and professional communities in the last 10 years (Hoda et al., 2018), they have been also criticized for trying of using them in all kind of software engineering projects (Boehm, 2002; Meyer, 2018) and by their large learning curve to be mastered (Ganesh & Thangasamy, 2012). Even inventors of the main agile methodologies have indicated subtly that agile methods do not imply easiness of utilization. For instance, Beck (1999; chapter 24) reported “XP is simple in its details, but it is hard to execute”. Similarly, Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland (2017; p. 3) “SCRUM is: lightweight, simple to understand, (but) difficult to master”. Additionally, while some studies (Schwaber, K., & Beedle, 2002; Holvitie et al., 2018) have reported that agile software-system development methods help to reduce the negative effects of technical debts, other studies have also reported (Schwanke et al., 2013; Guo et al., 2016) that agile software-system development methods are prone to introduce technical debts by “an emphasis on quick delivery and architecture and design issues” (Behutiye et al. 2017; p. 154). Consequently, balanced discipline-agility methods and approaches have been proposed by researchers (Boehm & Turner, 2004; Rodriguez-Martinez et al., 2012) and some particular adaptations (maturity models, scalation models, enhancement models) to agile methods have been also explored (Boehm & Turner, 2005; Campanelli & Parreiras, 2015; Galvan-Cruz et al., 2017; Özcan-Top & Demirors, 2019; Dingsøyr et al., 2018; 2019). Furthermore, new ISO/IEC standards like the ISO/IEC 29110 standard, pursue similar aims (Munoz et al., 2018; O'Connor, 2019). However, because both software engineering approaches relies in very separate assumptions, their straight integration is not a trivial task (Siau et al., 2015). We hypothesize that in the spectrum of types of software engineering projects, some can be better addressed with disciplined methods, others can be better with agile ones, but others can take advantages of balanced ones. Furthermore, the high dynamic context of the software-system customer demands and the emergence of highly related information technology and innovations such as cloud computing (Younas et al., 2018), internet of things (Jacobson et al., 2017), microservices architecture (Pautasso et al., 2017), and DevOps approach (Dingsøyr, T., & Lassenius, 2016) claim for a reconsideration of the adequate utilization of disciplined vs agile vs balanced software-system development methods. Nevertheless, these concerns have been few explored. Thus, in this special issue we call for conceptual frameworks which help to clarify the theoretical foundations of balanced methods, as well as empirical cases (exploratory and confirmatory ones) where evidence on success or learned lessons on failed cases of these balanced methods be reported.

The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such: theories of concepts underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and the impact of conceptual modeling techniques on databases, business strategies and information systems development. ** Conference Venue The 38th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2019) will occurs in Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia, in the Northeast region of Brazil, in the period of November 4-7, 2019. Salvador was the first capital of Brazil and is the 3rd largest city in the country. It is a very attractive tourist destination, due to its history, culture and gastronomy, all strongly influenced by the first African slaves and the Portuguese culture. It has 25 km of urban beaches and several not-to-miss historic venues, like Pelourinho, Farol da Barra, Ilha de Itaparica, historical churches, museums, and Candomble centers. It is also close to other touristic destinations in Bahia, like Morro de São Paulo, Praia do Forte and Boipeba with very beautiful beaches and natural swimming pools. The region time zone is the same as Brazil's capital, Brasilia, which is three hours behind GMT. The climate is classified as temperate, with an average annual temperature varying between 23C (73F) and 30C (86F), with relative humidity ranging around 65-75%. Night temperatures usually drop to around 18C (65F). The conference venue is the Hotel Mercure Rio Vermelho, a wonderful, paradise-like location, central and close to several social and gastronomic places in the bohemian neighborhood of Rio Vermelho. ** Target audience and the scope We solicit submission of original research, as well as experience and vision papers, from both researchers and practitioners, welcoming any topic where conceptual modeling is a major theme.

Note however, that while novel work is highly valued, constructive replication of previous studies can also be a significant contribution, and a new interpretation or evaluation of previously-published work can make a good contribution. The submission site for ISSEP 2019 will be available soon on the conference web site. Call for Manuscripts Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the conference. All papers will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors. There are three different submission categories: • Research and theory papers • Best practice papers / country reports • Work in progress / discussion papers Submissions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style guidelines using LaTeX. The maximum length of the paper (including references, but excluding the optional appendix) is 12 pages. For online Latex editors, see e.g. Overleaf and ShareLatex. Abstract length — 200-300 words. Submissions are reviewed using a double-blind process. Authors should leave their names and affiliations blank in the articles submitted for review, and take care to avoid details in the article that could be used to identify the authors. These include institution information, specific funding information and clear self-citations. When using the LNCS style, do not change the margin size or the font, do not make a separate title page, etc.: use the LNCS style file as given. However, please do add page numbers, which can be done, for example, by adding \pagestyle{plain} just before \begin{document}. Accepted papers will be included in the ISSEP 2019 local proceedings. Selected top quality papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Authors will also have the possibility to extend their work and publish it in the journal “Computer Tools in Education Journal”.
