-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 3rd Call for Chapters on "Advancing IS Theories: Theories and the Process of Theorizing in IS" Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 09:03:42 -0500 From: Nik Rushdi Hassan <nhassan(a)d.umn.edu> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, This is the third call for chapters for the "Advancing IS Theories" volume launched at the last ICIS in San Francisco. Leslie Willcocks and I are collecting chapters for a multi-volume Springer series on the same topic. We already have commitment from authors for chapters in these volumes and looking for more. Because many are busy getting their submissions to ICIS ready, so we are moving the deadline to Sunday, May 19th. Please read details below for content and schedule deadlines. Theories and the Process of theorizing in IS schedule Submit first draft May 19, 2019 Submit final draft after review June 31, 2019 Expected published by: Aug 31, 2019 Sincerely Nik R. Hassan and Leslie Willcocks Edited Series: Advancing Information Systems Theories The title of this planned Springer series of volumes on information systems (IS): “Advancing Information Systems Theories” is phrased in such way to emphasize its intended goal. The focus of this series of volumes is on “information systems (IS) theories” not just “theories in IS.” In the context of the IS field, the phrasing implies significant differences. It is well known that the IS field has been debating the nature and role of theories for some time with intense debates regarding whether or not a theoretical core is necessary (King & Lyytinen, 2004; Lyytinen & King, 2004; Lyytinen & King, 2006; Weber, 2006), disagreements concerning whether or not the field can speak of native theories (Grover, et al., 2012; Straub, 2012), and what constitutes IS theory and the role of theories in IS (Avison & Malaurent, 2014; Bichler, et al., 2016; Gregor, 2014; Holmström & Truex, 2011; Lee, 2014; Markus, 2014). What is not up for debate is how the field undertakes its research using theories from its “reference disciplines.” By borrowing from these reference disciplines “the theories and methods of these disciplines serve to set the standards by which the quality and maturity of IS research should be measured” (Baskerville & Myers, 2002, p. 1). Whether it is the theory of reasoned action (TRA) or its derivative, the theory of planned behavior, from social psychology, resource based view (RBV) and absorptive capacity theory from strategic management, game theory and transaction cost theory (TCT) from Economics, innovation diffusion theory (IDT) from communications, or social cognitive theory and activity theory from psychology, the IS field has consistently borrowed (Lim, et al., 2013), often uncritically (Hassan, 2011; Markus & Saunders, 2007) to legitimize its research. The goal of this series of volume is to advance IS research beyond this form of borrowed legitimization and derivative research towards fresh and original research that naturally comes from its own theories – information system theories. It is inconceivable for a field so relevant to the era of the hyper-connected society, disruptive technologies, Big Data, social media and "fake news" to not be brimming with its own theories. To move the field forward, the foundations surrounding theory have to be unambiguously clear, for how can theory be advanced if theory itself is misunderstood? Any advancement of theory has to begin with some form of agreement with regard to IS theories from thought leaders of the IS community. Although much progress has been made (Gregor, 2006; Gregor & Jones, 2007; Hassan, 2014; Hassan & Lowry, 2015; Mueller & Urbach, 2013; Weber, 2012), many questions remain unanswered. The major questions that will be addressed include: What can we agree on with regard to theories? What constitutes theories and what doesn’t? Why do we need theories? Why bother with theories? How can one go about developing theories? What does an IS theory look like? The answers to these kinds of questions will be discussed in this series of volumes on “Advancing IS Theories.” For purely demonstrative purposes, a tentative list of chapters and topics are provided below along with the names of authors who have either submitted abstracts to the editors or had presented at the Special Interest Group on Philosophy of IS (SIGPHIL@ICIS) workshop on “Advancing IS Theories” in San Francisco, on December 13-14, 2018. These authors have yet to submit their full chapters, which will in turn be reviewed, and we expect more chapters to be reviewed and added to all three volumes. We expect these works to trigger other works of even higher quality that will eventually find their way into our top journals and help advance the field forward. *Advancing Information Systems Theories-Theories and the Process of theorizing in IS* The first volume addresses what theories are and why bother with theories. Included in this volume is the process of theorizing itself because the process cannot be divorced from the product of that process. As Weick (1995) argues, the process of theorizing is what will help illuminate what theories are. Introduction: Why theories? (Hassan, Gregor & Willcocks) 1 Theoretical and practical contributions in IS (Agerfalk) 20 Causality in IS theorizing (Markus and Rowe) 40 Theorizing the digital experience (Kreps) 60 The art of crafting theory (Rivard) 80 IS theorizing as discursive practice (Hassan, Mathiassen & Lowry) 100 Philosophical and methodological approaches to concept analysis (Wynn) 120 Theorizing design science (Sjöström) 140 IS theorizing in strategy (Galliers, Moeini, Simeonova, Wilson) 160 Pluralist theory building (Mathiassen) 180 ...... *Advancing Information Systems Theories-The Products of Theorizing in IS* The second volume concerns efforts that approach theories – what Weick (1995) calls “interim struggles.” This volume comes out of the realization that the process of theorizing can be long and arduous and like all great things, will not be built in a day, much less in an edited volume. So, although they may not be called theories with a capital “T,” they nevertheless approximate theory and should not be dismissed. They may be called “principles,” “propositions,” “models,” “paradigms,” “concepts,” “frameworks” or what have you. They are the products of theorizing and are precursors to strong theory, and as long as they are fresh and original, they go a long way in advancing IS theories. Introduction: The products of IS theorizing (Hassan, Mathiassen & Lowry) 1 Against paradigms? Reevaluating IS paradigms (Hassan & Mingers) 20 Theories and kernel philosophies (Haj-Bolouri) 40 Design principles in design science (Gregor and Hevner) 60 > From models to theories of IS success (DeLone, McLean and Petter). 80 IS Concepts: Declaring IS to the world 100 Mapping an IS research framework 120 Models and contexts of discovery in IS 160 IS constructs and variables 160 A collection of IS propositions 180 ........ *Advancing Information System Theories: Information Systems Theories* The third volume intends to showcase the IS theories themselves and what they might look like if one were to stumble upon them in the dark. Discussions on advancing existing IS theories such as media richness theory (MRT), media synchronicity theory (MST) and other theories developed within the IS field can be included in this volume. Purely based on the name of the field of study – Information Systems – and its history and origins, one would expect that some form of information theory or systems theory would qualify as an IS theory. Or, since systems relate to technology, some kind of theory of technology would be an imperative for the IS field. Or, the combination of information in the form of signs and with human cognitive processing as in semiotics, would qualify as an IS theory. We expect to see some of these theories in this volume. Thus far, theories related to information, systems, or technology have not made headlines within the IS field, and reference discipline theories from psychology, social psychology, communications, management and economics dominate and consume most of the energy of our best and brightest. If the struggles in existing journals are any indication, this third volume may be the riskiest of the three. However, that is the point pushing this effort in the form of a multi-volume book so as to collect as many works that even if they appear to be speculative, they represent original thinking at the highest quality of scholarship. The shape of IS theories (Hassan, Gregor & Willcocks) 1 Indigenous IS theories (Grover & Lyytinen) 20 Against theory? A history of IS theories (Hirschheim and Hassan) 40 System theory foundations for IS theories 60 IS theories of technology 80 IS theories in sociomateriality (Cecez-Kecmanovic) 100 IS theories and semiotics (Mingers & Willcocks) 120 The shape of IS process theories (Niederman) 140 Mertonian middle-range theories in IS (Hassan and Lowry) 160 Information theories in the IS field (McKinney) 180 Systemic Complexity theory (Hassan) 200 ......... Publishing Schedule and DeadlinesThis multi-volume text will be published on a rolling schedule. Each volume will be given its own submission, review and publishing schedule. To start, the schedule below refers only to the first volume. However, authors can submit earlier for later volumes to allow for simultaneous review and enable the editors to organize the submitted chapters into appropriate volumes based on their content. Please submit all full chapter drafts to both Nik R. Hassan (nhassan(a)d.umn.edu) and Leslie Willcocks (willcockslp(a)aol.com) before the date specified below. Authors may be asked to review chapters from other authors in their requested volume or other volumes. We also welcome abstracts, suggestions and expressions of interest for chapters in all volumes.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Complex service modelling, composition, and engineering @ ICSTCC 2019 Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 16:18:28 +0200 From: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> Reply-To: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Second Call for Papers Invited Session "Complex service modelling, composition, and engineering" http://icstcc2019.cs.upt.ro/authors/invited-sessions/ @ 23rd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC 2019) October 9-11, 2019 Sinaia, ROMANIA Keywords: service systems engineering, complex systems, complex service, digital technologies, artificial intelligence Service, the law of interaction among the large number of society-level entities, grounded on data, supports the creation of value via information interactions fundamentally. A complex service is built upon several services, and its systems, including its digital system, are composed upon their systems. Therefore, the information is an important source of innovation, and the digital means enable to introduce new functionalities which were difficult or impossible to offer before. Technology, as an operant resource, leverage information sharing across service ecosystems at society level, enabling data-driven value co-creation as a service strategy. This session is inviting original submissions addressing the entire development cycle of complex services and their service systems, enacting new types of knowledge exchange that would advance society in its complexity. Society is facing today critical situations for which its systems must be purposely reshaped. Complexity, a fundamental characteristic of the world we live in, must be understood against society needs and new tools for analyzing and describing it are required today. Authors are encouraged as well to present developed practices, mechanisms, methods, toward increasing the engagement in teaching, learning, research and institutional activities to support digital skills formation in industry fostering new services and jobs creation. In this perspective, it concerns important properties of Service Science, which induce situations where knowledge, skills, activities and jobs can emerge to surmount challenges in identifying the growing share of increasingly complex services that characterize the digital economy. IMPORTANT DEADLINES - April 26, 2019: Submission of papers - June 28, 2019: Notification of acceptance for papers - July 26, 2019: Final camera ready manuscript and registration payment of at least one of the authors - October 9-11, 2019: Conference PAPER SUBMISSION http://icstcc2019.cs.upt.ro/authors/initial-papers-submissions/ Papers submitted to the special session on "Complex service modelling, composition, and engineering" will be reviewed in the same manner as the regular papers.

Today, a variety of software applications ranging from social analytic tools, workflow management systems, content management to ERP systems and others are used for this task. These applications are helpful for managing relevant social media (e.g. touch points with followers, leads, professional communities or influencers), for extracting information (e.g. number of “likes”, occurrences of key words in postings, identification of simple sentiments, social logins) and for interacting with social web users (e.g. co-marketing, service management, community building, influencer management or social sales). Often, their low interoperability limits the automation degree and business contribution in a specific scenario. Integrated Social CRM systems aim to overcome the existing shortcoming through the integration of relevant functionalities in best-of-breed approaches or within single complex software suites. Available systems in the CRM market (e.g. Salesforce or Microsoft) demonstrate some of the potential benefits, such as AI-based decision support grounded on internal and external information, collaboration in workflows, proactive service offerings, customer managed tasks, robot automation in processes/touchpoints or seamless omni-channel-management. Topics of interest ****************** Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: * CRM process support on the social web * Service engineering for Social CRM * Business value of Social CRM * Success factors of Social CRM * Value of data analysis in Social CRM * Innovative Social CRM tools * Requirements and current shortcomings of Social CRM analytics * Novel data analysis algorithms * Data integration and fusion in Social CRM * Privacy-preserving analysis * AI in Social CRM * Robot Automation in Social CRM * Data quality in Social CRM * Crowdsourcing in data analysis and CRM process tasks * Customer journey design and modelling in Social CRM * Privacy management in Social CRM * Case studies representing current and new scenarios in Social CRM Submission guidelines ********************* * Research papers (up to 8 pages) * Research in progress (up to 4 pages) * Case studies (up to 4 pages) * Teaching cases (up to 4 pages) * Prototypes, including an extended abstract (up to 4 pages) Papers must be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icrm2019-bis19) in PDF format according to Springer LNBIP template (http://bis.ue.poznan.pl/bis2019/submission-guidelines).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: SAICSIT 2019 Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 09:45:33 +0200 From: Carina deVilliers <carina.devilliers(a)up.ac.za> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> SAICSIT 2019 Nombolo Mdluli Conference Centre, Skukuza, Kruger National Park, South Africa 16 – 18 September 2019 The Department of Informatics at the University of Pretoria is the host for SAICSIT 2019 (https://saicsit2019.org.za) and we are celebrating 40 years since the first SAICSIT conference in 1979. SAICSIT 2019 is the annual research conference of the South African national computing society of the same name (*www.saicsit.org* <http://www.saicsit.org>). It presents researchers with a forum for presenting research in computer science, information systems, information technology, software engineering, and computer engineering (as defined in the ACM, AIS, and IEEE-CS). SAICSIT 2019 is an international conference and contributions from all parts of the world are warmly welcomed. The theme of the conference is “Digital eco-systems gone wild”. We inhabit a digital ecosystem of connective social media: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and many other platforms have become deeply embedded in our lives. We inhabit an ecosystem of Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). An ecosystem of networks, of physical objects embedded with electronics, software, and sensors enabling interconnected linkages of supply chains, markets, and businesses. We inhabit an ecosystem of Big Data – from a world of terabytes to a world of exabytes. Our challenge: To make sense of increasingly ubiquitous technology and data-rich environment, which if left unchecked, can unleash a host of unintended consequences. The conference programme will include research paper sessions, plenary keynote addresses, panel discussions, industry papers/case studies and workshops - to cater to a broad audience of participants. The first day – Monday 16 September 2019 - is devoted to tutorials, workshops, and an all-day Masters and Doctoral Symposium. The main conference will be held from Tuesday 17th of September to Wednesday 18th of September 2019. We hereby invite you to submit a research paper, industry paper, panel proposal or workshop proposal for SAICSIT 2019. 1 February 2019 Call for papers 6 May 2019 Submission of research papers, panels, industry papers, workshops 30 June 2019 Submission of Masters and Doctoral symposium papers 16 September 2019 Masters and Doctoral symposium 17 – 18 September 2019 SAICSIT 2019 conference Submission deadlines Full research papers / industry papers / case studies / workshops / panels: *6 May 2019* (notification by 17 June 2019) Masters and Doctoral symposium: *30 June 2019* (notification by 31 July 2019) Submission format All submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts. English is the official conference language - all submissions must, therefore, be in English. Submissions in all categories of the SAICSIT 2019 Main Conference and the Postgraduate Symposium must follow the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series prescribed format - MS-Word or LaTeX format (with no additional libraries or special fonts). The template and guidelines for papers are located on the website at https://saicsit2019.org.za Papers that do not follow the template may be excluded from the conference proceedings. The maximum paper length as stipulated in the various submission categories will be strictly enforced. All submissions must be made through the online submission system on the conference web site https://saicsit2019.org.za. We invite the submission of FULL PAPERS (maximum of 10 pages) to report original previously-unpublished work in the topic areas of the conference. Full papers typically report on completed and mature research results. All full paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts. The review process will retain the anonymity of authors and reviewers. The program committee will consider the following criteria when evaluating submitted papers: originality of contribution; relevance to the conference; technical/scientific merit; and presentation and clarity. Accepted full research papers must be presented at the conference by either the main author or one of the co-authors. Authors should guarantee the anonymity of their submissions (by removing names and affiliations from the first page and elsewhere in the paper, as well as in the name that the paper is saved as that would allow reviewers to easily identify authors). Master’s and Doctoral Symposium SAICSIT 2019 offers postgraduate students at master’s and doctoral levels the opportunity to actively engage with their peers and established researchers on the first day of the conference.

The digitization of the horizontal and vertical organizational value chains transforms the whole organization including managerial, operational and decisional activities as well as business objects, resources and IT capabilities at all organizational levels. Today enterprises are facing the impact of a new industrial technology-based revolution named Industry 4.0 (I4.0). I4.0 is associated to what it is called the smart industry which joins in digital and real worlds. For instance, I4.0 combines internet of things for interconnecting business objects with the standardization of digital tools, Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS), cloud computing, the exploitation of organizational data for monitoring and increasing cooperative business functioning. The I4.0 revolution aims to arrange business and IT goals and intentions into the same direction, thus, it implicitly targets to succeed business strategies by taking advantage of the newest and smartest IT. These kinds of innovations enable enterprises to create new business value, products and services by exploiting new embedded information technologies. Accordingly, managers, at all business levels, are able to know, analyze and supervise current business units’ capabilities and performance, to exploit internal and external data, to register business information sources, as well as to backup and align business decisions to business goals and strategies. The goal of the workshop is to investigate how the theories and practices of Business Informatics may be adapted to face the new business context of an Industry 4.0 evolution and, in general, of business digitization and transformation. Almost all sub-fields of Business Informatics are concerned by these new challenges, specially, enterprise modelling and information systems engineering, business process management, Industry Applications and Business Innovations and Digital Transformation. *List of topics:* Areas of interest for this workshop include all topics related to the Industry 4.0 revolution and digitization applied to Business Informatics.

P. Sundarraj, Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, rpsundarraj(a)iitm.ac.in Dr. Kaushik Dutta, Information Systems and Decision Sciences Department, University of South Florida, duttak(a)usf.edu Theme The rapid digital transformation of businesses and society creates new challenges and opportunities for Information Systems (IS) research, with the designing of system becoming a strong focus. Technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, and wearable devices have spawned a paradigmatic shift in the design of information systems. Thus, design science research in IS has evolved to become a mature yet thriving area of research. Design science seeks to extend the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by designing new and innovative constructs, models, methods, processes, and systems. Scholars having diverse backgrounds in fields such as information systems, computer science, software engineering, energy informatics, and medical informatics are actively engaged in generating novel solutions to interesting design problems in IS. As digitization grows from its current initial roots, so will the range and complexity of IS-based theories and problems pertaining to design. The wide scope of design science has a natural engineering-management orientation, which covers a range of topics from creative system-building to the management of innovative resources that can benefit an organization. At a conceptual level, these aspects are well-aligned to the different phases of design science research in IS, such as problem identification, artifact development, design evaluation, and communication. Although papers on the design science are seen regularly in the scientific literature, a compendium of papers in a single volume will serve as an important point of reference for researchers in the area. We therefore seek high-quality papers on design science research (DSR), particularly as they pertain to information systems and technology. The relevant DSR theories and approaches have been expounded by different authors (see reference list below). Topics include and not limited to the following: * DSR in Healthcare * DSR in Cyber Security * DSR in Service Science * DSR for HCI * DSR in Data Science and Business Analytics * DSR Foundations * DSR & Emerging ideas * DSR in Domain Specific Applications * DSR for ICT in Developing Countries Submission Process: Please prepare the manuscript according to IEEE-TEM's guidelines (http://ieee-tmc.org/tem-guidelines)<http://www.ieee-tems.org/guidelines-for-authors/> and submit to the journal's Manuscript Central site (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tem-ieee). Please clearly state in the cover letter that the submission is for this special issue.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: 7th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019) Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:56:48 +0100 From: FiCloud Conference <ficloud.info(a)gmail.com> To: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org ----------------------Call for Papers (Final Call)------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.
