-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] KR2020 & ML - CFP Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2020 19:30:32 +0200 From: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Reply-To: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Organization: University of Patras To: taravanis(a)upatras.gr Call for Papers **Special Session on Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning** at the 17th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2020) September 12-18th, 2020 Rhodes, Greece https://kr2020.inf.unibz.it/ ------------------ Important Dates ------------------ Submission of title and abstract: 4 March 2020 Paper submission deadline: 11 March 2020 Author response period: 4--6 May 2020 Notification: 27 May 2020 Camera-ready papers: 24 June 2020 Conference dates: 12--18 September 2020 ----------- Description ----------- Over the last two decades Machine Learning (ML) has made incredible advancements showing to be very effective in solving specific tasks and robust in many experimental learning applications. Deep learning, statistical (relational) learning, reinforcement learning and (logic-based and/or probabilistic) learning are among the many ML approaches that are witnessing such advancements. On the other hand, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) has continued to be at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research providing solutions for explicit declarative representation of knowledge and knowledge-based inference, which have theoretical and practical relevance in many aspects of AI as well as in new emerging fields outside AI. The synergy between these two areas of AI has the potential to unlock new advancements on foundations of AI that offer new insights into open fundamental challenges included, but not limited to, learning symbolic generalisations from raw (multi-modal) data, using knowledge to facilitate data-efficient learning, supporting interpretability of learned outcomes, federated multi-agent learning and decision making. This year, for the first time, KR2020 will host a special session on "Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning". This special session aims at providing researchers and industrial practitioners with a dedicated forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas, research experience and emerging results on topics related to computational learning and symbolic knowledge representation and reasoning. This special session provides the opportunity for fostering meaningful connections between researchers from these two main areas of AI and, at the same time, offering the possibility to learn about progress made on these topics, share their own views and learn about approaches that could lead to effective cross-fertilisation among research in ML and KR and new innovative solutions to key AI research challenges. ---------------------- Expected contributions ---------------------- The Special Session on KR and ML at KR2020 invites submissions of papers across KR and ML on advancements in one of these areas for the purpose of addressing open research challenges in the other, integration of computational learning and knowledge representation and reasoning, and the application of combined KR and ML approaches to solve real-world problems, including case studies and benchmarks. We welcome papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: -- Learning ontologies and knowledge graphs -- Learning action theories -- Learning common-sense knowledge -- Learning spatial and temporal theories -- Learning preference models -- Learning causal models -- Learning tractable probabilistic models -- Probabilistic reasoning and learning -- Graphical models for knowledge representation and reasoning -- Reasoning and learning over knowledge graphs -- Logic-based learning algorithms -- Neural-symbolic learning -- Statistical relational learning -- Multi-agent learning -- Machine learning for efficient knowledge inference -- Symbolic reinforcement learning -- Learning symbolic abstractions from unstructured data -- Machine-learning-driven reasoning algorithms -- Explainable AI -- Transfer learning -- Multi-agent learning -- Expressive power of learning representations -- Knowledge-driven natural language understanding and dialogue -- Knowledge-driven decision making -- Knowledge-driven intelligent systems for internet of things and cybersecurity -- Application of knowledge-driven ML to question answering and story understanding -- Application of knowledge-driven ML to Robotics --------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria --------------------------------------------- The special session emphasizes KR and ML, and welcomes contributions that extend the state of the art at the intersection of KR and ML. Therefore, KR-only or ML-only submissions will not be accepted for evaluation in this special session. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members, who are active in KR and ML. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art. In this special session, the selection process of the highest quality papers will apply the following criteria: * Importance and novelty of using knowledge representation and reasoning to advance machine learning, or novelty of using machine learning solutions to advance knowledge representation and reasoning. * Applicability of the proposed solutions in real-world. * Reusability of datasets, case studies and benchmarks for systems and/or application papers. * Proved theoretical or empirically demonstrated practical advancement of the proposed solution with respect to baseline pure KR or ML approaches. ------ Chairs ------ Alessandra Russo (Imperial College London, UK) Guy Van den Broeck (UCLA, USA) -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

These various technologies are intended to improve or enhance life of humans. In one way or another, they contribute to a smarter life. Until now, digital technologies have been brought into the game as silo solutions. Reasoning holistically about information in the context of a bank or a manufacturing plant is routine practice. However, it is less common with emerging technologies for everyday life public digital application. We deeply believe that methods, models and techniques inherited from IS engineering research could considerably improve the way human interact with the digital world and would change the user experience. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in the application of disruptive technologies to Smarter Life. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to, the application and emerging concepts of rising digital technologies to different fields of life through the perspective of information systems: ·Cultural Heritage, ·Traditional and Urban Farming, ·Patient Experience Design and Health, ·Sustainable Development ·Digital Education and Teaching Experience Design for World Wide Audience, ·Smart Home/ Smart Buildings and so on. As this holistic approach mixing human life and digital systems is a challenge for the 21st century and the society we are building, we are also inviting contributions about: ·Societal Applications of Robots, ·Serious Games and User Experience, ·Performance Augmentation for Individuals and Groups, ·Social Networks for Smarter Life, ·Sustainable Artificial Intelligence, ·Ethical and Philosophical Aspects of New Technologies Usage with Humans. We invite both research and practice-oriented papers focused on digitalization of various aspects of life. *Submission:* The length of the paper should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices) for full papers, or 6 pages for short papers.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: JMWAIS Special Issue on Information Security and Privacy - The Challenge of New Technologies Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 15:48:19 +0000 From: Biros, David <david.biros(a)okstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE JOURNAL OF THE MIDWEST ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JMWAIS) THEME: INFORMATION SECURITY AND PRIVACY - THE CHALLENGE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES Description: The recent proliferation of new information technologies such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), cryptocurrencies, blockchain and cloud storage and computing have created new challenges for advocates of information security and privacy. Traditional controls such as demilitarized zones, intrusion detection systems, patch management systems, and firewalls may not be sufficient to protect data, systems, and privacy. Existing research extolls the benefits of these new technologies in a variety of scenarios and contexts. Smart home automation can be beneficial to the handicapped and elderly. Home security camera can protect property and belongings, and have even been used to help law enforcement solve crimes. Wearable technologies like smart watches with ECG technology can warn users when a serious health issue may be present. Other new technologies like cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin) and cloud computing promise new opportunities for business and commerce. However, research to date has yet to consider the security and privacy implications of these promising new technologies. For example, recent news reports of major data breach in fitness-tracking apps (Dickey 2018) and wearable devices data compromising the location of secret military bases (Taylor 2018) underscore the security consequences and instigate a lack of trust. It has been reported that an AI algorithm lead to the erroneous firing of teachers (Thomas 2019). In another report, a company AI human resource recruiting initiative concluded that all female applicants were unacceptable for corporate leadership positions (Harrer 2018). In other cases, home security camera that are easy for users to install are also easy for hackers to exploit. Along with the security implications are the privacy issues. Wearables and other IoT devices enable the collection of vast amounts of data involving millions of people. Users need to understand these privacy implications in order to make informed choices with respect to the devices used and configured. This special issue calls for research papers that investigate the information security and privacy challenges that accompany the new generation of technologies. We seek completed research papers in topics including but not limited to: * Privacy and Security risks posed by home automation on personal data. * Proliferation of security risks posed by home automation to organizations. * Future of cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism in the age of ubiquitous technologies. * Privacy and Security risks posed by wearables on personal health information. * Policy considerations for new technologies such as IoT * Privacy and Security risks posed by cryptocurrencies on financial information. * Policy considerations for cryptocurrencies. * Implications of sharing economy on information privacy and security. * Feasibility of expansion of existing security controls to IoT. * Privacy and Security standards in IoT-enabled devices that contain cameras and microphones. * Ownership and Informed consent of information generated by IoT and Ubiquitous technologies * Security Implications of novel financial technologies (FinTech) including mobile payments and blockchain. * Security considerations for cloud computing and storage * Cloud storage security configurations * Legal and contractual issues in cloud storage * Security implications when aggregating large data sets for analytics * Public knowledge and perceptions of artificial intelligence * Ethical issues of artificial intelligence and machine learning * Risks and mitigation strategies for artificial intelligence and machine learning * Unintended consequence of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP 1st International Workshop on Next Generation Information Systems: Modeling, Monitoring and Management in Cloud and Fog Computing (NeGIS 2020) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 17:29:15 +0100 From: Monica Vitali <monica.vitali(a)polimi.it> Reply-To: Monica Vitali <monica.vitali(a)polimi.it> Dear Colleagues, this is an invitation to submit a research paper to the NeGIS workshop at CAiSE'20. I hope this can be of interest to you. You are kindly invited to spread the information. CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================== 1st International Workshop on Next Generation Information Systems: Modeling, Monitoring and Management in Cloud and Fog Computing (NeGIS 2020) Co-located with CAiSE'20 June 9th 2020 Grenoble, France ========================================================== SCOPE ====== The amount of data and services supported by Information Systems (ISs) has increased exponentially during the last few years. To improve their efficiency and reduce costs, modern organizations have been shifting their services, with part of their ISs, to the Cloud. More recent developments have shown an inversion towards decentralization and distribution of applications and services in the huge pool of devices and computing facilities available nearer to the customers. This shift is due to the impact of Internet of Things, which is further increasing the amount of data to be stored and computed. Fog Computing is the last frontier for ISs, where data and services can be moved in the continuum of resources between the cloud and the edge. In this workshop, we aim to collect contributions investigating issues related to the management of cloud and fog computing in modern information systems with a focus, but not limited, on energy efficiency, security, and privacy, their relations and trade-off with other requirements such as response time and throughput. In doing so, we are considering both the application components of the information system with their complexity, as well as the management of the data used by such applications. We also consider the impact of the human in the loop, looking at how the awareness and the behaviors of users and designers in socio-technical systems can affect the effective adoption of energy and security policies. Topics include but are not limited to: - Modelling Cloud and Fog computing solutions for modern Information Systems - Monitoring and Managing Information Systems in Cloud and Fog Computing - Models, methods, and tools for data management in Cloud and Fog Computing - Energy-awareness and sustainability in Information Systems: metrics and measurements - Quality of Service, energy efficiency and security in Mobile Edge Computing - Methodologies and tools for energy efficiency and security compliance in Cloud and Fog computing - Adaptive approaches to manage energy consumption, QoS, and security of applications and systems - Energy and Security aware blockchain solutions - Energy and security requirements in Information Systems and Socio-Technical Systems Energy and security behaviours in Socio-Technical Systems Negis2020 will be co-located in Grenoble with the 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems (CAISE'20, 8-12 June 2020). BEST PAPER AWARD ================= The best paperwill be considered for publication in a high level international journal. To be selected the paper must include a validation of the proposed approach.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: AMCIS 2020: Mini-track: Problems in Financial Information Technology (PFIT ’20) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 17:08:29 +0000 From: Templeton, Gary <GTempleton(a)business.msstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org) <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Track: Decision Sciences and Analytics (SIGDSA) 26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug. 12-16, 2020 Salt Lake City, Utah This mini-track solicits papers using methods to critically examine issues hampering the emergence and understanding of financial information technology (FIT) in research and practice. Authors are encouraged to identify and investigate three specific problem areas in finance that affect modern organizations: technology (“FinTech”), analytics and messy data. What are the problems and solutions in these areas? What can researchers do to move beyond the current state of research and practice concerning these IS-relevant issues? In what ways do specified problems impact important IS theories and streams, such as the productivity paradox, IT business value, and information economics? What are the pros and cons and comparative performance of any proposed solutions? These are the types of questions that may be explored in this mini-track. We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research addressing the conference theme, New Frontiers in Digital Convergence. Therefore, we hold at a premium papers advancing our understanding of organizations engaged in digital convergence for value creation. In particular, we are interested in information technology firms since they engage in digital convergence out of competitive necessity. We encourage thought provoking papers utilizing the wealth of archival data (e.g., Compustat and CRSP) accessible by many in the IS research community. We especially value thought provoking papers pushing known boundaries of the three mentioned FIT themes (FinTech, analytics and messy data) in order to improve IS practice. For these reasons, we are interested in high quality papers that illuminates and addresses the effects of the following issues (among others) on modern organizations: FinTech * Finance-Technology alignment * Resistance to change * Barriers to innovation * Systems scalability * FinTech success * Outsourcing FinTech * Issues specific to FinTech firms * Compliance management * FinTech application frontiers * Blockchain and cryptography Financial Analytics * Workflows * Queries * Data storage * Analytical efficiency and economics * Analytical skills * Data security and privacy * User-friendliness of big data * Artificial intelligence and machine learning * Big data analytics * Analytical procedures Messy Financial Data * Non-normality * Missing data * Imputation * Inflated frequencies * Variables with low levels (i.e. binary) * Outliers * Negative denominators * Measurement bias * Illogical values Mini-Track co-chairs Gary Templeton, Mississippi State University gft4(a)msstate.edu Brian Blank, Mississippi State University dblank(a)business.msstate.edu Andrew Miller, Mississippi State University asm357(a)msstate.edu Martin Kang, Mississippi State University mkang(a)business.msstate.edu Submission Instructions: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ Important Dates: January 6, 2020: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2020 begin February 28, 2020: Manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST March 5, 2020: All papers have assigned reviewers April 24, 2020: Revised, camera-ready papers are due _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
