-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP HICSS53: Behavioral Economics & Digital Nudging Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:11:29 +0000 From: Weinmann Markus <markus.weinmann(a)uni.li> Reply-To: Weinmann Markus <markus.weinmann(a)uni.li> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> Dear friends and colleagues We would like to invite you to submit to our mini-track on 'Behavioral Economics in the Digital Economy: Digital Nudging and Interface Design' (with fast-tracking opportunities to AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction). Please find the CfP attached. Kind regards, Markus Weinmann, Christoph Schneider, Jan vom Brocke ************************************************************************ BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY: DIGITAL NUDGING AND INTERFACE DESIGN * Part of the Internet and the Digital Economy Track * Link: http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-53/internet-and-the-digital-economy/ * 53rd annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences * January 7–10, 2020 ************************************************************************ FAST-TRACK PUBLICATION * Fast-tracking opportunities AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction * The authors of the best research papers will be invited to submit full paper versions ************************************************************************ MINI-TRACK DESCRIPTION As humans, we constantly need to make decisions about various aspects of our lives--ranging from relatively minor decisions (such as choices between two candy bars) to decisions with long-term ramifications (such as choices between home financing options). At the same time, we face cognitive limitations, and our decisions are influenced by various heuristics and biases, either for the good or bad. In light of humans' bounded rationality, the field of behavioral economics examines the effects of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors on judgment and decision making of individuals and organizations. As decisions are increasingly made in online environments, understanding economic behavior in digital environments becomes ever more important. Behavioral economics has reinforced the point that the context matters when making judgments or decisions. Thus, people's decisions are not only influenced by the content of choices but also the presentation of choices. That is, the design of the decision environment can 'nudge' people into certain behaviors. Coined by behavioral economists, 'nudging' describes how even minor changes to the decision environment influence choices, typically unnoticed by the decision maker. As any decision is influenced by the decision environment the presentation will always (intentionally or unintentionally) influence how people actually make their choices. As decisions are increasingly made online, the concept of 'digital nudging' extends 'nudging' to the digital environment, referring to both the design and effects of nudges in digital decision environments--i.e., the use of user-interface design elements to guide people's behavior on online platforms. The main purpose of this minitrack is to explore and extend, as well as exchange, research related to behavioral economics and nudging in the context of information systems design and the digital economy. Specifically, this mini-track aims to examine the design, main applications, and effects of digital nudging in information systems design, in particular, research with an emphasis on the effects of interface design on users' behavior, judgment, and decision making in Internet-based systems. We welcome papers that draw on or combine behavioral research methods (e.g., experimentation, survey, case study, action research), and design science approaches. ************************************************************************ TOPICS * Applications of behavioral economics concepts to information system design * Design of online choice architectures * Information processing for decision making * Influence of information presentation on consumption behavior (for example, feedback mechanisms in website design and sustainable behaviors) * Framing effects in website design * Impact of anchoring effects on online judgment and decision making * Impact of behavioral economics principles and website design implementation on privacy and trust * Issues related to behavioral design principles and security * Impact of website design on loss aversion and risk perception/evaluation * Impact of digital nudges on online judgment and decision making * Website designs/elements that encourage rational thinking and/or nudge users into certain behaviors * Issues related to dynamic website design and interactive decision making * Website design and preference building effects * Cognitive, emotional, and social factors and information systems design * Applications of behavioral economics principles in online platforms that influence users' behaviors (for example, in online auctions and e-marketplaces, crowdfunding platform, mobility platforms, and others) * Ethical issues of digital nudging ************************************************************************ MINI-TRACK CHAIRS Markus Weinmann (Primary Contact) University of Liechtenstein Email: markus.weinmann(a)uni.li <mailto:markus.weinmann@uni.li> Christoph Schneider City University of Hong Kong Email: christoph.schneider(a)cityu.edu.hk <mailto:christoph.schneider@cityu.edu.hk> Jan vom Brocke University of Liechtenstein Email: jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li <mailto:jan.vom.brocke@uni.li> -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1548-3657; EISSN: 1548-3665; Published by IGI Global Publishing, Hershey, USA www.igi-global.com/ijiit <https://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-intelligent-inform ation-technologies/1089> Editor-in-Chief: Vijayan Sugumaran (Oakland University, USA) Note: The International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT) has an Open Access option, which allows individuals and institutions unrestricted access to its published content.

ARTICLE 1 Automatic Folder Allocation System for Electronic Text Document Repositories Using Enhanced Bayesian Classification Approach Wou Onn Choo (Faulty of Information Technology and Sciences, INTI International University, Nilai, Malaysia), Lam Hong Lee (School of Computing, Faculty of Science and Technology, Quest International University Perak, Ipoh, Malaysia), Yen Pei Tay (School of Computing, Faculty of Science and Technology, Quest International University Perak, Ipoh, Malaysia), Khang Wen Goh (School of Computing, Faculty of Science and Technology, Quest International University Perak, Ipoh, Malaysia), Dino Isa (Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, The University of Nottingham, Semenyih, Malaysia), Suliman Mohamed Fati (INTI International University, Nilai, Malaysia) This article proposes a system equipped with the enhanced Bayesian classification techniques to automatically assign folders to store electronic text documents. Despite computer technology advancements in the information age where electronic text files are so pervasive in information exchange, almost every single document created or downloaded from the Internet requires manual classification by the users before being deposited into a folder in a computer. Not only does such a tedious task cause inconvenience to users, the time taken to repeatedly classify and allocate a folder for each text document impedes productivity, especially when dealing with a huge number of files and deep layers of folders. In order to overcome this, a prototype system is built to evaluate the performance of the enhanced Bayesian text classifier for automatic folder allocation, by categorizing text documents based on the existing types of text documents and folders present in user's hard drive. In this article, the authors deploy a High Relevance Keyword Extraction (HRKE) technique and an Automatic Computed Document Dependent (ACDD) Weighting Factor technique to a Bayesian classifier in order to obtain better classification accuracy, while maintaining the low training cost and simple classifying processes using the conventional Bayesian approach.

This model is based on interest trust, and combines with the Bayesian method to effectively evaluate the model trust, and builds a multi-steady-state agent system based on this. At the same time, it effectively analyzes the evolutionary mechanism of the system, and validates the model's application in combination with comparative experiments. The research shows that the model can effectively improve the success rate of executing tasks and shorten the distance between cooperative agents, thus ensuring the reliability of the selection of cooperative objects and providing theoretical reference for subsequent related research.

(Pondicherry University, Puducherry, India) Knowledge discovery with geo-spatial information processing is of prime importance in geomorphology. The temporal characteristics of evolving geographic features result in geo-spatial events that occur at a specific geographic location. Those events when consecutively occur result in a geo-spatial process that causes a phenomenal change over the period of time. Event and process are essential constituents in geo-spatial dynamism. The geo-spatial data acquired by remote sensing technology is the source of input for knowledge discovery of geographic features. This article performs qualitative inference of geographic process by identifying events causing geo-spatial deformation over time. The evolving geographic features and their types have association with spatial and temporal factors. Event calculus-based spatial knowledge formalism allows reasoning over intervals of time. Hence, representation of Event Attributed Spatial Entity (EASE) Knowledge is proposed. Logical event-based queries are evaluated on the formal representation of EASE Knowledge Base. Event-based queries are executed on the proposed knowledge base and when experimented on, real data sets yielded comprehensive results. Further, the significance of EASE-based spatio-temporal reasoning is proved by evaluating with respect to query processing time and accuracy. The enhancement of EASE with a direction for further development to explore its significance towards prediction is discussed towards the end.

In this article, evolutionary game theory is used to analyse the evolution process of the information sharing behaviour between supply chain network enterprises with different penalties and information sharing risk costs. Analysis and agent-based simulation results show that when the amount of information between enterprises in supply chain networks is very large, it is difficult to form a sharing of cooperation; increase penalties, control cost sharing risk can increase the probability of supply chain information sharing network and shorten the time for information sharing.

The authors propose a practical approach based on ontology modeling and an information toolkit named Karma modeling for fast data integration, and demonstrate an application example in detail. Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is a publicly available conflict event dataset designed for disaggregated conflict analysis and crisis mapping. The authors analyzed the ACLED dataset and domain knowledge to build an Armed Conflict Event ontology, then constructed Karma models to integrate ACLED datasets and publish RDF data. Through SPARQL query to check the correctness of published RDF data. Authors design and developed an ACLED Query System based on Jena API, Canvas JS, and Baidu API, etc. technologies, which provides convenience for governments and researches to analyze regional conflict events and crisis early warning, and it verifies the validity of constructed ontology and the correctness of Karma modeling.

We invite you to submit your paper to our minitrack . A call for papers is attached. http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_53.htm Regards, Anil Aggarwal University of Baltimore USA Doug Vogel Harbin Institute of technology PRC Yuko SJ Murayama Tsuda College Japan CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track Emerging Issues in e-collaboration Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges <http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_53.htm> (Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track ) HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-53<http://www.hicss.org/>) January 7-10, 2020 Grand Wailea Resorts Maui Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration. Distributed teams face many challenges of time, location, infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity, nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks. The mini track will attempt to accomplish these objectives. The mini track will address emerging issue such as diversity, culture, adaptability and agility related to teams in distributed group decision making, as well as the underlying theories of group dynamics, coordination, communications and decision-making in distributed environments, in creation of competitive advantage. Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to): * eCollaboration in distributed teams * Fake news impact on ecollaboration * Swift team collaboration * Sub groups impact on eCollaboration * Big data collaboration * E-government(s) inter- , intra-collaboration * Collaboration through crowdsourcing * Disaster management in distributed teams * Delivering health services through collaboration * Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds * Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making * Can agile teams be globally distributed? * Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams * The "e (internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation of globally distributed teams * Communication and coordination in globally distributed teams * Diversity issues in globally distributed teams * Customer satisfaction, performance and "trust" building in globally distributed teams * Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams * Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore distributed teams * Turbulent economy and its impact on outsourcing * Models of globally distributed agile/adaptable teams * Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally distributed teams * Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams * Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams * Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams * Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally distributed teams Contact Information for Mini-Track Chair: Dr. A.

Introduction A connected vehicle is a vehicle that is equipped with internet access and wireless LAN that allow sharing of data through various devices inside as well as outside the vehicle. The ad-hoc network of such vehicles, often referred to as VANET or Internet of Vehicles (IoV), is a typical application of the IoT technology. It may be regarded as integration of three networks: inter-vehicle network, intra-vehicle network, and vehicular mobile network. Vehicle connectivity in VANET can be of several different varieties including Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). According to one survey, it is expected that there will be around 380 million connected cars on the roads by 2020. The IoV is an attractive aspect of the new smart transportation vision. In this context, the focus of the proposed book is on the new smart transportation system, IoV connectivity frameworks, issues of security and safety in VANETs, future developments in the IoV, technical solutions to address the key challenges, and other related research and development. 2. Suggested Topics Focus of the book is on the development of the IoV paradigm, discussing frameworks, methodologies, benefits, limitations, as well as case studies relating to the IoV/VANET vision. The relevant topics include: * Concepts, history, development and future of IoV * Principles, technologies and architectures relating to VANET * From IoT to IoV – historical perspective * Connectivity of vehicles: protocols and frameworks * IoV essentials: security, trust, safety and privacy * Ad hoc and deterministic networking for mobility * Authentication and authorisation mechanisms * Human machine interactions in automobiles * Road/vehicle/passenger/pedestrian safety in smart transportation * Information security and management relevant to VANET * Challenges and limitations relating to VANET and MANET * Big Data challenges for connected vehicles in IoV * Inter-vehicular and intra-vehicular networks * Vehicular grids and vehicular clouds * Vehicular mobile networks and MANET * Vehicle-Infrastructure and Vehicle to Vehicle networks * Vehicle to Cloud and Vehicle to Everything infrastructures * Smart transportation and vehicular intelligence * Intelligent traffic management * Autonomous operations, AI and machine learning * Sensor technologies and networks * Ambient intelligence in VANET and MANET * Future vehicular networks and virtualisation * And other topics relevant to IoV/VANET/MANET 3.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IJCAI 2019 Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Multi Agent Problem Solving

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IJCAI 2019 Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Multi Agent Problem Solving Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2019 12:08:20 +0100 From: Dominik Bork <dominik.bork(a)univie.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Conceptual Modelling Multi-Agent Problem Solving <cmmaps2019(a)gmail.com> *IJCAI 2019 Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Multi Agent Problem Solving* This workshop is one result of the Dagstuhl Seminar 18471 on Next-generation Domain-Specific Modeling: Principles and Methods <https://www.dagstuhl.de/de/programm/kalender/semhp/?semnr=18471> Call for Papers <http://vienna.omilab.org/repo/files/CM-MAPS/CM-MAPS2019-CfP-v4.pdf> (PDF-Download) One of the initial aspects of artificial intelligence studied was problem-solving by autonomous systems. But it was quickly realized that many problems could not be solved by a single autonomous system, and in fact, a single system may not have a complete understanding of the complete problem being solved. Hence, with this as background, the area of cooperative problem solving, distributed artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems as a comprehensive area have been established. The key point is that the original ideas of the problem are decomposed into sub-problems, agents (humans or systems) being assigned to work on sub-problems, and the need for cooperation among agents to solve the problem. And finally, establish a coordination framework to ensure that cooperation happens as intended, remain. As AI is handling complex applications, like self-driving vehicles, to IoTs driven AI backed smart solutions, the core issues of the problem, sub-problems, cooperation, and coordination will surface, and become very relevant. In the implemented complex solutions, from IBM Watson's based systems to a conversational agent, the problem is attempted to solve made up of multiple subproblems, and yet, the characterization of the subproblems and their interrelationship is not explicitly represented. The representation can be languages that glue the coordination among deployed sub-systems or higher level artifacts that convey the overall cooperation to solve the problem. Conceptual modeling based on a conceptual model has constructs with a well-defined meaning, and an ontology to convey by language or visual diagram the concepts, their attributes, and interrelationships among the concepts. The area of knowledge representation also uses constructs to represent and model knowledge for comprehension and processing. The knowledge graphs are primitive knowledge representation techniques that do not capture the processing and enactment aspects of the problem being solved by a multi-agent system. Further, cooperative frameworks driven AI-based systems provide new capabilities, discover extended relationships among constructs and solve the problems in a novel and creative way. Thus, new computing paradigms are wanted to address the key issues and challenges in modeling and development of new generation multi-agent systems. The aim of the workshop is to bring the conceptual modelers, requirements specifiers, multi-agent language specifiers, formal process modelers, and cooperative problem solvers to get together and open this area of research to help the designers and solution providers of large AI systems to visualize, comprehend, discuss, evolve, and enact the AI system. Our proposed ideas from the workshop can help deploy, manage, monitor and control large AI systems, and work towards efficient and qualitatively better problem-solving multi-agent AI systems. These large AI systems can be orchestrated by the execution of tasks orchestrated by events and coordinated by a workflow management system. The key topics of interest for the workshop are: * Conceptual artifacts to visualize and compose multi-agent problem solvers and their requirements * Languages to specify and reason about high-level problem solving * Cooperation frameworks among multiple agents to solve a problem * Task allocation and quality and efficiency issues * Workflow driven coordination to enact and deploy multi-agent problem solver * Formalisms to bridge conceptual and formal models for decision and learning multi-agent AI systems * Evolution and change management for multi-agent problem solving * Agent Capability modeling * Ontology modelling and specification for agent and problem solving Submission Submitted papers must be formatted according to IJCAI guidelines (check https://www.ijcai.org/authors_kit).
