CALL FOR PAPERS
Submissions: January 15, 2019.
The nature and scope of the Information Security field have evolved over
the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the
technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to
consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of
security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses
in Security, Assurance, and Privacy that will define the moment and provide
a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues.
Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals, and case
studies are invited. All submissions are peer-reviewed and considered for
publication in the Journal of Information System Security (
http://www.jissec.org), European Journal of Management Studies and
Information and Computer Security.
Further details and submission instructions can be found at:

==================================================================
SPeL 2020
13th International Workshop on Social and Personal Computing for
Web-Supported Learning Communities
http://software.ucv.ro/~epopescu/spel2020
In conjunction with MIS4TEL 2020 (10th International Conference in
Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning)
https://www.mis4tel-conference.net
17-19 June 2020
L'Aquila, Italy
* Paper submission deadline: January 31, 2020 (preceded by a mandatory
abstract submission by January 24)
* All accepted workshop papers will be published by Springer in Advances
in Intelligent Systems and Computing series.
==================================================================
MOTIVATION
===========
The workshop follows the previous SPeL 2008, SPeL 2009, SPeL 2010, SPeL
2011, DULP & SPeL 2012, SPeL 2013, SPeL 2014, SPeL 2015, SPeL 2016, SPeL
2017, SPeL 2018 and SPeL 2019 workshops, held in conjunction with the
SAINT 2008 conference, WI/IAT 2009 conference, DEXA 2010 conference, ICWL
2011 conference, ICALT 2012 conference, ICSTCC 2013 conference, ICWL 2014
conference, ICSLE 2015 conference, ICWL & SETE 2016 conferences, ICWL &
SETE 2017 conferences, MIS4TEL 2018 conference and ICWL & SETE 2019
conferences respectively. The general topic of the workshop is the social
and personal computing for web-supported learning communities.
Web-based learning is moving from centralized, institution-based systems
to a decentralized and informal creation and sharing of knowledge. Social
software (e.g., blogs, wikis, social bookmarking systems, media sharing
services) is increasingly being used for e-learning purposes, helping to
create novel learning experiences and knowledge. In the world of pervasive
Internet, learners are also evolving: the so-called "digital natives" want
to be in constant communication with their peers, they expect an
individualized instruction and a personalized learning environment, which
automatically adapt to their individual needs. The challenge in this
context is to provide intelligent and adaptive support for collaborative
learning, taking into consideration the individual differences between
learners.
This workshop deals with current research on the interplay between
collaboration and personalization issues for supporting intelligent
learning environments. Its aim is to provide a forum for discussing new
trends and initiatives in this area, including research about the
planning, development, application, and evaluation of intelligent learning
environments, where people can learn together in a personalized way
through social interaction with other learners.
The workshop is targeted at academic researchers, developers,
educationists and practitioners interested in innovative uses of social
media and adaptation techniques for the advancement of intelligent
learning environments. The proposed field is interdisciplinary and very
dynamic, taking into account the recent advent of Web 2.0 and ubiquitous
personalization, and it is hoped to attract a large audience.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
The workshop welcomes submissions covering aspects of collaboration,
social interactions, adaptivity and personalization in technology enhanced
learning, particularly related to issues about:
* Social learning environments
* Theory and modeling of social computing in education
* Web 2.0 tools for collaborative learning
* Personal learning environments
* Lifelong learning networks

Dear colleagues,
We invite submissions for the Sixteenth Symposium on Statistical Challenges
in eCommerce Research (SCECR 2020) to be hosted in Madrid, Spain on June
18-19th, 2020. Please visit http://www.scecr.org for additional conference
details.
Objective
We communicate using hieroglyphics called emojis rather than words, we
watch for a second blue checkmark against a Whatsapp message rather than
eye contact to signal the receipt of a message, we rely on algorithms to
suggest music and mates. And in its turn, technology grows and learns from
how we have been using it. Human endeavor and not just effort has magnified
thanks to our symbiosis with technology. The theme for this symposium will
be “*Technology + Human*”
We welcome submissions from a broad range of topics, including, but not
limited to, electronic markets, social media, FinTech, digitization of
industries and products, and virtually any data-driven phenomena. We
welcome methodological contributions related to statistics, data mining,
machine learning, econometrics, and other empirical approaches motivated by
data. *Submissions should highlight the statistical and empirical
challenges* that arise from the collection, analysis, and modeling of data.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit abstracts of their work for consideration at
the conference. Abstracts should be a maximum of two pages (excluding
references, figures, and tables), and should outline the research conducted
as well as identify the statistical challenges associated with it. As this
is a work-in-progress symposium, we will evaluate abstracts based on the
fit of the research with the symposium’s goals and its ability to stimulate
lively discussion around the particular empirical challenges and potential
solutions. Submissions will be accepted starting January 1st.

Advanced Modelling of Health Systems and Policies
KES HCIS 2020 Special Session
Split, Croatia - 17/19 June 2020
http://hcis-20.kesinternational.org/index.php
************************************************************************************************************************
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning
health system working in harmony is built on having
trained and motivated health workers, a well-maintained infrastructure,
and a reliable supply of medicines and technologies,
backed by adequate funding, strong health plans and evidence-based
policies. Effective laws and efficient legal component
are important bases in creation and setting up of health systems and
public health policies. Challenges like communicable
and non-communicable diseases must have a legal component.
This session is specialised for researchers of different disciplines,
data scientist, big data experts, policy makers and
clinicians, from academia and industry, oriented in solving the
challenges by multisectoral approach. The session is linked
to Universal health coverage (UHC) and Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Data is a key issue of Agenda 2030 and main
goal of this session is to present novel approaches in modelling and
usage of health big data. Target groups which could be
interested in this session: Governments, Public Health Experts, Policy
Makers, Multi‐National Organizations, Statistical Bodies,
R&D Bodies, Civil Society, Private Providers, Health Providers, Health
Managers, Academics and Scientists.
UHC is defined by WHO as ensuring that all people can use the promotive,
preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative
health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while
also ensuring that the use of these services does
not expose the user to financial hardship.
The task of SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for
all at all ages.
As we live in "data revolution" and new technologies, efficient usage of
health data and evidence-based decision-making tools
can be used in implementation and monitoring of UHC and SDGs.
Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Privacy aware Big Data models
- Role of big data in health systems reforms
- Efficient health systems and SDGs
- SDGs and health data
- Data driven modelling of health policies
- Innovative Big Data usage in UHC
- Security aspects in health systems and Big Data analytics
- Monitoring of SDG 3 – big data approach
- Decision support systems in policy making
- Novel Big data solutions for health-related policy making

annual survey of IS leadership priorities. The mini-track seeks to
explore the various dimensions, theoretical bases, and perspectives on
issues in the IT profession and to advance the state of scholarship on
the issue. Authors are encouraged to submit both conceptual and
empirical papers that employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative
methodologies.

Issues of specific interest to IT practitioners

Advancement
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2020 23:01:58 +0000
From: Taylor, Joseph D <joseph.taylor(a)csus.edu>

CALL FOR PAPERS
***AMCIS 2020: Crowdsourcing for Societal Advancement ***
August 12-16, 2020, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2020
***Mini-track Description***
Crowdsourcing and collaboration through digital platforms afford large
groups of people to contribute to an overarching goal, usually via
virtual communities. Today anyone in the world with basic knowledge or
resources has work opportunities afforded by digital platforms which
link buyers and sponsors with a crowd or community. Though new
innovations in these spaces are unveiling regularly, we have only just
begun to realize their potential benefits. Inspired by the conference
theme of "A Vision for the Future", this minitrack aims to investigate
the high-impact potential of crowdsourcing, the gig-economy, the sharing
economy and virtual communities for people, organizations, and societal
advancement.
All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must
be submitted using the online submission system. For complete
instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the
