-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers: JAIS - MISQE Joint Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence in Organizations Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 21:10:00 +0000 From: Stella Pachidi <s.pachidi(a)jbs.cam.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) – MISQ Executive (MISQE) Joint Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence in Organizations: Opportunities for Management and Implications for IS Research Guest Editors: Hind Benbya, Stella Pachidi, Tom Davenport, Sirkka Jarvenpaa Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a fundamental, pervasive economic and organizational phenomenon that holds many theoretical and practical opportunities and challenges for management and information systems scholars. Recent advances in AI have given rise to a diverse set of technologies able to perform human-like tasks such as complex decision-making, reasoning and learning, sophisticated analytics and pattern recognition, visual acuity, speech recognition and language translation as well as emotion detection (Anderson, Rainie and Luchsinger, 2018). Today, companies across industries increasingly rely on AI technologies to automate structured and repetitive work processes, gain insights through extensive analysis of large datasets and engage with customers and employees in new ways (Davenport, 2018). Firms also combine different AI technologies to perform tasks as diverse as selecting suitable applicants for organizational positions, advising clients on financial products, performing financial transactions, deciding which customers to insure, scheduling complex logistics, diagnosing patients and suggesting therapies, and forecasting technological developments. As the adoption of AI technologies across organizations is increasing, AI may alter working and organizing in significant ways. Current debate centers on the extent to which AI technologies would substitute or complement humans in the workforce (Larson, 2010; Aleksander, 2017). Research is required into the effects of AI technologies including transforming expertise in organizations (Beane, 2018), offering novel forms of coordination and control (Faraj, Pachidi and Sayegh, 2018), and changing the nature and the future of work (Schwartz et al. 2019). The conditions under which new human-machine configurations can or cannot have effects such as amplify human ability, perform key processes autonomously, contribute to innovativeness and affect both short-term and sustained competitive advantage remain to be explored (Benbya and Leidner, 2018; Yan et al. 2018). The experiences of early adopters of AI technologies demonstrate that such technologies may produce no, unknown, or unexpected outcomes, raising new challenges and concerns about the long-term impact of investments in AI in organizations. Emerging challenges include addressing ethical concerns such as AI bias, trust, and transparency (Daugherty et al. 2018); altering how people and things are valued (Tegmark 2017); and eroding expertise and occupational boundaries (Faraj et al. 2018). It is therefore important to improve our understanding about the potential effects of AI technologies in organizations (such as transforming dynamics, patterns and structure of organizations, management), and the broader societal, legal, and ethical implications of AI. Advancing both practitioner and academic work in these areas is of key importance at this particular moment in time, as practitioners and academics are just beginning to understand the transformative potential of AI technologies. This joint JAIS-MISQE special issue seeks original research on “Artificial Intelligence in Organizations: Opportunities for Management and Implications for IS Research.” Some of the topics of interest of this joint special issue include (but are not limited to): * Transformative effects of AI technologies * Emergence of new configurations of human-machine interactions and their impact on working and organizing * Failures and errors with AI technologies * Usage and consequences of different AI technologies (e.g., robotics, machine learning, chatbots, digital twins, etc.) across industries * Unintended consequences of AI implementation and use * Psychological, social and cultural aspects of human computer and robot interactions * Organizational, societal and ethical implications of AI * Challenges of AI for decision making * Impact of AI use on knowledge and expertise * Design approaches combining human-machine capabilities to elevate performance * Paradoxical effects of algorithmic technologies * Embedding smart machines into products, services, strategies, cultures and behaviors Rationale for the JAIS-MISQE Joint Special issue A major mission of the information systems discipline is to produce knowledge that is both academically rigorous and applicable to IS managers. To bridge the research-practice divide, the editors and guest-editors of this joint MISQ Executive and the Journal of the Association of Information Systems special issue, offer IS scholars a unique opportunity to develop both a theoretical contribution (targeted at JAIS) and practical implications (targeted at MISQE) on the topic of Artificial Intelligence in Work and Organizations. To be considered for the joint SI, authors are invited to use the same cases or data sets to develop two papers: a theoretical contribution for JAIS and a practical contribution for MISQE. The special issue is open to any type of research and methodological approach and encourages innovative research methods and designs that allow both rigor and relevance into this phenomenon. There will be opportunity for interested authors to discuss their research plans with members of the editorial team of the special issue at the pre-ICIS 2019 workshop in Munich. Participation in this event is highly recommended and requires sending an email with an extended abstract of the research to one of the editors by September 1st 2019. This summary should include: key phenomena and research question, methods and case material, plan for the JAIS submission (e.g. theoretical and conceptual framing and expected contributions), plan for the MISQE submission (e.g., conceptual framework, unique insights and lessons learned). Logistical details regarding location and timing for the Munich session will be provided to the participants in due course. While submission to the workshop is not a requirement, prospective authors are encouraged to send their extended abstracts to the Special Issue editors for development feedback before submission. Deadlines * Extended Abstracts submission for the joint JAIS-MISQE SI- September 1, 2019 (Pre-ICIS workshop) MISQE * MISQE full paper submission deadline – March 1, 2020 * First editorial review sent to authors – May 1, 2020 * Paper resubmission based on editor feedback deadline – July 1, 2020 * Second editorial review, decision and suggestions to authors – August 1, 2020 * Final submission of accepted papers deadline – September 15, 2020 * MISQE publication – December 2020 JAIS * JAIS full paper submission deadline – February 1, 2020 * First editorial review sent to authors – April 1, 2020 * Paper resubmission based on editor feedback deadline – June 1, 2020 * Second editorial review, decision and suggestions to authors – July 15, 2020 * Final submission of accepted papers deadline – October 1, 2020 * JAIS publication – December 2020 For more information: Joint SI website with guidelines and Q&A: https://jaismisqeartificialintelligence.home.blog/call-for-papers-jais-misq… JAIS website: https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/ MISQE website: https://aisel.aisnet.org/misqe/ -- Stella Pachidi Lecturer in Information Systems Judge Business School, University of Cambridge Trumpington Street, CB2 1AG, Cambridge, UK E-mail: s.pachidi(a)jbs.cam.ac.uk<mailto:s.pachidi@jbs.cam.ac.uk> Tel: +44 1223 766923 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

ITIL is criticized as being appropriate for large enterprises and less for SMEs. Thus, it calls for tailoring this framework while taking into consideration the specific realities of small companies. In this context, this article provides a practical tool formally developed according to the design science research approach, and it addresses an area of relevance to both practitioners and academics and suggests solutions that can help managers to personalize IT service practices to suit the characteristics of small scale enterprises. Results show that the flexible nature of the proposed framework has enabled to overcome the main difficulties of ITIL components implementation in small scale environments. It is found that the integrated use of balanced scorecard perspectives and ITIL practices can help SMEs to better implement ITIL components, achieving in that way a better alignment between the business and the IT.

It reduces the costs and optimize the hardware provisioning level. Software defined networking (SDN) is a growing network paradigm which divides the usual monolithic control and data plane found in the classical network paradigm. It improves and simplifies the network management process. This research addresses a specific problem in SDNs regarding Quality of Service (QoS) target achievement in backup operations between data centers (inter-site). This fundamental backup activity has special QoS requirements. The aim of this article is to provide a new cost-efficient inter-site backup model for cloud networks using the SDN technique. It helps in choosing a path to perform the backup in the current network according to customer's and provider's requirements, while taking the QoS parameters into consideration simultaneously, in order to achieve an efficient-cost solution.

(Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore, India), Mohan S. (Department of Computer Engineering, Al Yamamah University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), Dinesh Peter J. (Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore, India), Martina Rebecca Nittala (Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore, India) Cloud users expect high Quality of service (QoS) levels within their budget and the cloud service providers (CSPs) to maximize their profits, always strive for the cost and energy minimization and better resource utilization. Any error in the management of resources causes Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations, high penalties, low customer satisfaction, and long-term losses. The objective of this article is to present a literature review on various resource provisioning strategies and also to present a novel cluster-based resource provisioning (CB-RP) technique that satisfies the needs of both cloud users and CSP. CB-RP employs a heart algorithm to cluster the arriving requests based on its characteristics. The CB-RP technique aims to analyze the requests and provision the resources according to the request category. Simulation results show that our technique produces significant improvements in terms of cost savings, resource utilization and turnaround time compared with state of art technique.

Miller (Muhlenberg College, Allentown, USA), Kurt J. Engemann (Iona College, Rochelle, USA) In this article, the authors discuss how business continuity methodologies can be used by data centers to respond to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and accidents. Because organizations depend on computing services, which may become unavailable when disasters strike, prudent risk management processes can provide for continuation and recovery of operations. With a focus on data centers, this article discusses the business continuity plan development process. This article also considers elements of a business continuity management plan, which includes strategy development, preparedness, mitigation, exercises, and response and recovery, and discuss business continuity strategies for colocation and cloud-based data center architectures. Finally, the authors discuss how the ordered weighted average (OWA) methodology can be used to incorporate a decision makers risk profile when confronted with decisions related to the processes discussed.

An online survey was completed by 169 Latin American companies. Questions focused mainly on the current perceptions and assessment of ITIL benefits. A descriptive statistical analysis approach was employed. Evidence suggests that the main challenges of implementing ITIL are the time devoted by the information technology staff involved in the project, their understanding of ITIL purposes, and the support they receive from senior management. Participants suggested that the existence of a service management office (SMO) could represent a way of addressing these challenges and to more effectively realize ITIL benefits.

Not grasping correctly and exhaustively an enterprise system would inevitably lead to consequent software failures. It is therefore claimed that software generation should essentially have its roots in corresponding enterprise engineering models. ====================================================== In 2019, BMSD will be held in LISBON, PORTUGAL, following previous events in Austria (Vienna, 2018), Spain (Barcelona, 2017), Greece (Rhodes, 2016), Italy (Milan, 2015), the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg, 2014), The Netherlands (Noordwijkerhout, 2013), Switzerland (Geneva, 2012), and Bulgaria (Sofia, 2011). ====================================================== We welcome paper submissions from but not limited to the following areas and topics: 1.
