-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Participation: 1st IEEE Int. Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) 2019 Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 06:14:20 +0200 From: laura.juliff(a)unimelb.edu.au Reply-To: laura.juliff(a)unimelb.edu.au To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2019) Aachen (Germany) 24-26 June 2019 https://icpmconference.org/ https://icpmconference.org/wp-content/uploads/icpm_trailer_final.mp4 The International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) is the first conference devoted to the rapidly growing process mining discipline. All thought leaders working on process mining will be present at ICPM 2019. The program includes a fully packed industry day next to exciting scientific talks by the leading scientists in the field. The conference is supported by the main vendors providing process-mining software. However, the conference is neutral and provides insights that are tool independent. This makes ICPM 2019 “the place to be” for anyone working on process mining. Moreover, it provides a great stepping-stone of those that are new to the topic. Next to a range of excellent speakers, there will be the possibility to see the state-of-the-art in action (e.g., dozens of tool demonstrations) and discuss real-life process mining experiences. You can now register for this unique event via https://icpmconference.org/registration/. The early bird rate ends on May 1st. ICPM 2019 will be three days (24-26 June). Tuesday June 25th will be a special “Industry Day” showcasing lessons learned from larger process mining initiatives. The following industry speakers have been confirmed: • Marc Kerremans (Gartner): Process Mining in the Era of the Digital Twin of an Organization • Gia-Thi Nguyen (Siemens): Unlocking Digital Transformation – the Human Touch • Julian Lebherz (Deloitte): Process Mining at Scale – the plea for a technical Process Mining reference model • Michael Wiese (Ernst & Young): Opportunities and challenges applying Process Mining in financial audits • Piergiorgio Grossi (Credem Banca): Credem Digital Transformation with DTO and Process Mining • Marc Gittler and Patrick Greifzu (DHL): How to add Process Mining to the Auditors’ toolbox • Carsten Schöne (Merck): Entrepreneurial behavior in a DAX company. Can Process Mining be established bottom up only? • David Whyte (Canadian Financial Services): Practical implementation of Process Mining at Large North American Financial Services enterprises • Bart Prudon (Medtronic): Process mining at Medtronic – The power of true collaboration and partnership On Monday June 24th and Wednesday 26th, carefully selected presentations will be given, showing the state-of-the-art in process mining. These presentations have been selected by a program committee lead by Josep Carmona (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain), Mieke Jans (Hasselt University, Belgium), and Marcello La Rosa (The University of Melbourne, Australia). The program committee is composed of the globally leading process mining scientists, see https://icpmconference.org/icpm-2019/call-for-papers/organizing-committee/. On Monday and Tuesday there will also be tool demonstrations, and various challenges and competitions. On Sunday, there will be an additional doctoral consortium. ICPM 2019 is supported by Celonis, Deloitte, ProcessGold, SAP, myInvenio, Fluxicon, Everflow, Minit, PuzzleData, PAFnow, Software AG, StereoLOGIC, BrightCape, Logpickr, Mehrwerk, QPR, KPMG, LanaLabs, Wintec, RWTH, Fraunhofer FIT, Gartner, AvH, DFG, IEEE, and many more organizations. The conference will take place in conference area of the Tivoli football stadium close to the city center of Aachen. This beautiful venue will provide a unique atmosphere with great views and excellent conference facilities. In the same week, also the 40th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency (PN 2019), the 19th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design (ACSD 2019), and the workshop Algorithms & Theories for the Analysis of Event Data (ATAED) will take place at the same location.

Fwd: [WI] Call for Papers: Electronic markets: evolution and perspectives - new submission deadline
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Apr '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers: Electronic markets: evolution and perspectives - new submission deadline Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2019 18:25:58 +0200 From: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> Reply-To: Electronic Markets <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> To: 'Electronic Markets' <editors(a)electronicmarkets.org> --- Apologies for cross-postings--- *Electronic Markets – The International Journal on Networked Business* ** *Call for Papers: Electronic markets: evolution and perspectives* ** *Guest Editors* * Rainer Alt, Leipzig Universityig, Germany, _rainer.alt(a)uni-leipzig.de <mailto:rainer.alt@uni-leipzig.de>_ * Hans-Dieter Zimmermann, FHS St. Gallen, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland, _hansdieter.zimmermann(a)fhsg.ch <mailto:hansdieter.zimmermann@fhsg.ch>_ *Theme* In 2020, the Electronic Markets journal will enter its 30^th year of publication. Along with the journal, the entire field of electronic markets and networked/electronic business has evolved impressively. Contrary to the early days in the 1980s, digital value chains and platforms are inherent in most of today’s business models. Nowadays referred to as digitalization or digital transformation, this includes the networking with customers via mobile and online channels, the use of electronic (real-)time linkages in multi-tier supply chains as well as the emergence of electronic markets and communication platforms. Companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon (“GAFA”) or Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (“BAT”) have become dominant players and illustrated the logic of network effects, which are typical for networked business models. Besides these well-known IT companies, many start-ups have emerged during the last decades and digital transformation has spread among traditional businesses as well. At this point, perception of being a part of digital ecosystems or even shaping new ecosystems has grown and become critical for competitive advantage in many industries. This special issue aims to take the opportunity of the journal’s 30^th volume to call for papers that reflect on the field from a retrospective (e.g. Clarke and Pucihar 2013, Fischbach et al. 2011) and a prospective (e.g. Alt and Puschmann 2012, Spiekermann et al. 2015) point of view. While the former primarily aims to learn from analyzing past developments, the latter opens the perspective to upcoming developments. This might relate to future technological innovations – for instance, in the field of search engines and marketplaces or semantic web (“The next Amazon” or “The next Google”) – as well as to innovations in various business areas such as on, how marketing, distribution, logistics or needs as mobility and wellbeing or entertainment are taking place. *Central issues and themes* Possible topics of submissions for this special issue focus on the past and future evolution of electronic markets as well as of networked business. Topics may include but are not restricted to: *Evolution of digital ecosystems and the app economy *Digital transformation of specific industries (e.g. retail, banking, healthcare) *Evolution of digital business models (e.g. usage and data driven models) *Digitalization of business processes (e.g. end-to-end and real-time processes) *Modeling and managing digital transformation and innovation *Decentralization and the future of markets, including risks *Development of data protection and privacy (e.g. in social media) *Perspectives from artificial intelligence (e.g. smart mobility, deep learning and trans humanism) *Management of digital data (e.g. ownership, linking and quality) *Analyses on the relationship between technological and organizational change We encourage contributions with a broad range of methodological approaches, including conceptual, qualitative and quantitative research. Please also consider that position papers and case studies might be especially suited for this special issue. All papers should fit the scope of Electronic Markets (for more information see http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/) and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the special issue, please contact the guest editors. *Submission* Electronic Markets is a SSCI-listed journal (IF 3.818) and requires that all papers must be original and not published or under review elsewhere. Papers must be submitted via our the journal’s electronic submission system at http://elma.edmgr.comand conform to Electronic Markets publication standards (see instructions and templates at http://www.electronicmarkets.org/authors). Please note that the preferred length for research articles is around 8,000 words, excluding references. *Important deadline* * Submission Deadline: May 19, 2019 *References* Alt, R. & Puschmann, T.

Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMinDIT 2019 - Workshop on Business Process Management in the era of Digital Innovation and Transformation
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Apr '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BPMinDIT 2019 - Workshop on Business Process Management in the era of Digital Innovation and Transformation Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2019 08:59:07 +0200 From: Oktay Turetken <o.turetken(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** *BPMinDIT 2019 - International Workshop on Business Process Management in the era of Digital Innovation and Transformation: New Capabilities and Perspectives * In conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2019), Vienna, September 1-6, 2019 https://sites.google.com/view/bpmindit The fundamental nature of many organizations is being rapidly transformed with the ongoing diffusion of digital technologies. In this era, organizations in many domains are challenged to question their existing business models and to improve or revolutionize them using new technologies. Many IT-based initiatives, such as Uber, Car2Go, DriveNow, Udacity, or Airbnb emerge, and disrupt traditional markets by making use of those digital technologies. To stay ahead of their competitors, even ICT giants, such as Google or Amazon, face the need to constantly evaluate and improve the value they offer for their customers. These developments are also challenging the role of BPM. Advances in data analytics and AI, uptake of new technologies (such as blockchain, internet of things, 3D printing), increased adoption of cloud and mobile technologies, and new business paradigms, such as service-dominant logic, open the path for new business processes and new possibilities – or even necessities - for the application of BPM. We see, for example, how automated business process management can be used to tightly link business analytics and business execution in short process-based iterations to follow quickly changing markets, how real-time data from physical entities (‘things’ in the IoT sense) is directly injected into decision making in business processes, or how agile, IT-reliant business models are directly mapped to executable business processes. However, the traditional role of BPM in structuring and optimizing (operational) processes often falls short in making use of these opportunities. This can risk the position of BPM to act as the driving force in digital innovation and transformation initiatives. New BPM capabilities that reflect an explorative-dominant (instead of exploitation-dominant) view may help in addressing the emerging opportunities and challenges of digitalization. In this workshop, we question and investigate the new role of BPM in the digital era. The goal is to advance our understanding of the BPM capabilities that organizations require to explore emerging opportunities of digital innovation and transformation, and cope with related challenges. We seek contributions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: * New BPM capabilities to address the opportunities and challenges that companies are facing due to digital transformation * The role of BPM practitioners in conceiving, leading and executing digital innovation and transformation initiatives * The interplay between business models, processes, and services in the context of digital transformation * Process (re)design methods to foster digital innovation * The mapping of business model innovation to business process implementation (from business models to business process models) * The alignment of digital capabilities and business services, and their composition into processes * Achieving agility in the engineering of business models, services, and processes * The role of organizational process orientation in driving digital innovation and transformation initiatives * The support and evaluation of new business models using BPM methods, tools or techniques (e.g., process simulation, process mining) * The positioning BPM systems in digital technology platforms, e.g., from an architectural perspective * The role of BPM in exploiting digital technologies such as AI, IoT or blockchain * BPM capabilities in adaptive, distributed, open socio-technical digital ecosystems * New process and governance structures for digital innovation in business network and ecosystem settings The intended audience covers both researchers in the BPM field - particularly those interested in the managerial and architectural aspects of BPM - and practitioners that initiate, participate in, lead, or execute digital innovation and/or transformation initiatives. Experience or application papers that incorporate case studies, focus groups, Delphi studies, surveys, and employing design science research or action research methodologies are highly encouraged. *Important Dates:* * Workshop papers submission deadline: May 24, 2019 * Workshop papers notification deadline: June 28, 2019 * Workshop camera-ready papers deadline: July 12, 2019 * Workshops: September 2, 2019 *Organizers: * * Oktay Turetken, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands * Amy Van Looy, Ghent University, Belgium * Paul Grefen, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands *Program Committee:* * Marco Comuzzi, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea * Peter Fettke, Saarland University, Germany * Paul Grefen, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands * Andrej Kovacic, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia * Rob Kusters, Open University, The Netherlands * Peter Loos, Saarland University, Germany * Amy Van Looy, Ghent University, Belgium * Monika Malinova, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria * Charles Møller, Aalborg University, Denmark * Baris Ozkan, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands * Hajo Reijers, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands * Maximilian Röglinger, University of Bayreuth, Germany * Estefania Serral, KU Leuven, Belgium * Mojca I.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Minitrack on Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2019 00:20:33 +0000 From: Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L <Sirkka.Jarvenpaa(a)mccombs.utexas.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> TRACK: ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY Minitrack: Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies 8-11 January, 2020 Grand Wailea Maui http://hicss.hawaii.edu Within the 53rd Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies. The 53rd HICSS, one of the most prominent conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held January 8-11, 2020 at Grand Wailea Maui (http://hicss.hawaii.edu). We seek to address advances in Advances in Research on Trust, Trusted Systems, and Digital Technologies. How do new advancements in both hardware and software technologies change the way we trust and trust-related processes? What forms will digital trust and trust in digital environments take? What shapes trust and its consequences? What are the various risks and vulnerabilities to trust imposed by emerging algorithmic capabilities, cloud-based platforms, complex platform infrastructures, and highly distributed peer-to-peer systems? What are the implications for trust as technologies take on capabilities with both social and moral agency? Some digital technologies may replace the trust we now have in institutions, as trust shifts from humans and central organizations to computers and anonymous decentralized organizations that know no geographic boundaries. When do trust in technology and trust in humans complement each other? For example, can trust and control complement each other in AI adoption? How do trust in humans, organizations, and technology interact with each other? How can digital platforms build swift trust? How do trust processes in in digital platforms and sharing economy context differ from traditional interpersonal trust models? How does trust in humans differ from trust in technology? Is it possible that human-like systems exacerbate rather than compensate weaknesses common in trust assessments? How does blockchain technology change the way we think about trust? How does trust evolve as an interplay of trust in different trust referents, e.g. individuals, technological systems and societal institutions? We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of different forms of trust in technology-mediated environments, including in societal, organizational, inter-organizational, network, platform, collective, and interpersonal contexts. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that take a cross-level, multi-referent, and/or inter-disciplinary and/or process perspective. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following: · Understanding issues of digital trust and risk in the context of sharing economy and other platform-based organizations, e.g., in the digital platform, among the users of the platform, in the organization behind the platform, and in societal institutions. · Understanding the relationship between an organization's handling of its users' data, e.g., privacy/integrity/security, use of the cloud, and trust in the organization. · Understanding the relationship between trust in an organization and trust in the organization's technology-based offerings and understanding the difference between trust in humans, organizations, and trust in technology. · Understanding how regulation and policy at the national and international levels influence issues of digital trust and the penetration of technology, e.g., in private and public sector, and the sharing economy, and vice versa. · How to leverage trust levels by implementing new forms of digital trust tools online? How can trust in AI based applications and services be supported? · Understanding trust relationships between users and emerging technologies, e.g., personal robots, smart toys, wearables, personal voice assistants, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, drones. · Understanding the role of trust in the development and implementation of algorithms, e.g., functions, openness of coding, data collection and implementation of new services. · Investigating new digital trust cues that can signal and form trust, and the interplay of digital and human trust cues. · Understanding the relationship between trust and the development and dynamics of self-regulated, decentralized, peer-to-peer networks. · How does trust change in blockchain technology and cryptography contexts? · How does trust evolve in complex and multi-layered environments such as digital platforms and ecosystems? · Understanding the relationship between national culture and institutions and trust in technology and digital environments that know no geographic boundaries. · Understanding the relationship between trust, identity, control, and influence in digital environments.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: ECRA Special Issue on Cloud-Connected Smart Toys Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2019 09:11:58 +0000 From: Patrick Hung <Patrick.Hung(a)uoit.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Many Thanks! Call For Papers Special Issue on Cloud-Connected Smart Toys =================================================================== Electronic Commerce Research and Applications (ECRA) URL: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/electronic-commerce-research-and-applicat… Toys have been a part of human existence for thousands of years, across every culture, and have been uncovered as far back as ancient Egyptian times. A toy is an item or product intended for learning or play, which can have various benefits to childhood development. Children's toys have become increasingly sophisticated over the years, with a growing shift from simple physical products to toys that engage the digital world, as with the Internet of Things, and have become connected to cloud computing. For example, an invention called a Google Toy, a cloud-connected teddy bear or bunny, is an anthropomorphic device, with speech and facial recognition functions, that has the ability to control smart home appliances and other devices. Toy makers are developing products that combine the characteristics of traditional toys, such as dolls and stuffed toys, with cloud computing, to produce smart toys. A smart toy consists of a physical toy component in an electronic form that connects to clo ud services through networking and sensory technologies to enhance the functionality of a traditional toy. A smart toy can easily capture a player's physical activity state (walking, standing, running), store personalized information (location, activity patterns) through its camera, microphone, GPS and various other sensors. Some examples include Mattel's Hello Barbie, CogniToys' Talking Dino, and Fisher-Price's Smart Toy Bear. U.K.-based Juniper Research has reported smart toys and related applications are a new key market for toy companies, and that their sales will grow from US$2.8 billion in 2015 to US$11.3 billion by 2020. This virtual special issue (VSI) on cloud-connected smart toys will examine challenging research issues from both the technical and sociotechnical perspectives. Its goal is to present novel industrial solutions to challenging technical and sociotechnical issues, as well as compelling computing technologies in cloud-connected smart toys and related applications, such as Amazon Echo, Google Wifi, and Drone. This VSI will share related practical experience and provide evidence that computing technologies are playing an ever-increasing and critical role in supporting smart toys. The work reflects a new cross-disciplinary research topic in Computer Science, Information Systems, Social Science, and Design Science. Deadline for authors to submit papers: *** April 30, 2019 *** Contact Guest Editor: Patrick C. K.
