The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud
(FiCloud 2020)
24-26 August 2020, Rome, Itlay
http://www.ficloud.org/2020/
Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand computing
services to service consumers over the Internet. Computing services
include, for example, storage, memory, compute power, databases, and
networking among others. Cloud services are generally provided using SaaS
(Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS
(Infrastructure-as-a-Service). Unlike conventional distributed computing,
cloud offers flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service
provisioning.
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides 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.

CC: darkside.si.ijec(a)gmail.com
Dear Colleagues,
This is a gentle reminder that the deadline for full paper submission for
this special issue is approaching. If you have not submitted an extended
abstract for your paper, you can still submit your full paper.
The guest editors are available at HICSS 2020 to answer any questions you

*Call for Papers*
*Special Issue of International Journal of Electronic Commerce:*
*“Dark Sides of Digitalization”*
Digitalization of individuals (i.e., the proliferation of digital
technologies in the lives of individuals), organizations (i.e.,
digitalization of work and the business environment) and societies (i.e.,
the digital economy) has been enabled by information technologies (IT) such
as smartphones, social media, cloud-based systems, robots, and artificial
intelligence. The adoption and use of these technologies have reshaped
human’s perceptions, actions, and environments; and are associated with a
myriad of benefits for individuals, organizations, and societies (e.g.
connectivity, enhanced decision-making, increased productivity and economic
growth). Despite the conspicuous benefits, digitalization has also unveiled
“dark sides” at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. While
the bright sides of digitalization have received much academic attention,
the literature on the dark sides of digitalization is in its early stages
and in need of further research. This special issue intends to provide a
forum for studies focusing on the dark side of digitalization at all levels
of analysis. The objective of this special issue is to focus on the
drivers, processes, and consequences of the dark side of digitalization as
well as the potential strategies and ways for rectifying them. Some of the
proposed research topics include, but are not limited to:
• Issues related to the problematic, addictive, and deviant patterns of use
of IT.
• Security and privacy concerns associated with digitalization and
e-commerce, including surveillance and appropriation of personal behavior
traces for corporate use.
• The dark side of artificial intelligence and interacting with robots,
such as diminished human control and loss of jobs.
• Deceptive computer-mediated communication and fake online contents and
their associated costs.
• Social fissures, inequality, and concentration of power due to
digitalization.
• De-democratization and polarization of society due to digitalization.
• The adverse effects of e-commerce and sharing economy for individuals,
organizations, and society.

<mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu>Overview of Special Issue
Information Systems Development (ISD) has been part of the intellectual
core of information systems for over 40 years (Obrand et al., 2018;
Sidorova et al., 2008). Its chequered history of successes and failures
has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community
(Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to
improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the
desired effect (Lim et al., 2011).
There is anecdotal evidence that business analytics can help project
managers to (i) understand the dynamics and collective state of complex
projects, (ii) detect and forecast trends, (iii) improve the
effectiveness of risk models, (iv) evaluate the effectiveness of a
change to the development process, and (v) distinguish questions of
‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’ (Davenport et al., 2010).
Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques,
technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that
analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand
its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012,
p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the
technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and
their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to
be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019).
This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a
highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is
continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler
et al., 2017).
This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest
developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business
analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and
other project stakeholders.
Indicative List of Anticipated Themes
This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse
project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different
aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The
following questions are of interest for the special issue:
• How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD
projects?
• What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and
development teams?
• What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with
traditional and agile methods and practices?
• What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to
be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation?
• Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods
and practices less valuable or even obsolete?
• What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to
manage and control ISD projects more effectively?
• How can business analytics enable organisational learning and
innovation in the context of ISD?
• How are business analytics being applied in various types
(distributed, large scale) of ISD projects?
• How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects?
• What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that
need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities?
• How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects?
• What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD
projects?
• How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision
making?
• What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the
implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects?
These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are
intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in
the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from
participants in individual projects through projects, programs,
portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions
that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of
business analytics and ISD project management.

Paper Development Workshop
Only invited authors can attend this workshop. Authors will have the
opportunity to present their extended abstracts and receive feedback on
how best to develop their article for submission to the special issue
with Information Technology & People.
Extended abstracts (1,500 - 3,000 words) must use the ECIS 2020
(completed research) paper template. This word limit does not include
references, tables, or figures. There is no specific structure but the
extended abstract must address the following:
• What is the theoretical lens of your research and how does this theory
help us to better understand the nature of the research phenomenon?
• What are the specific contributions that your research will make to
academia and practice?
• What are the intended implications of your research for academia and
practice?
We welcome studies using the range of investigative methodologies
qualitative and quantitative, case study, with data collected by survey,
interview, observation, analytic analysis. Technical papers and
systematic literature reviews are not within the scope of this special
issue. If you have any further questions, please consult any of the
guest editors.
Submission of extended abstracts in PDF format is via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/). Submission of full papers in PDF format is via
Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itp). While there is
no guarantee that work presented at the workshop will be published in
the special issue, it is expected that some will eventually be published
in Information Technology & People, once further developed. It is
possible to submit a full paper without having submitted an extended
abstract but we advise submitting an extended abstract.

Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2020 Minitrack: Virtual Collaborations
for Knowledge Sharing and Learning
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2020 22:03:53 +0000
From: Brenda Eschenbrenner <eschenbrenbl(a)unk.edu>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Call for Papers
Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS’20)
August 12-16, 2020
Salt Lake City, Utah
Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration
Minitrack: Virtual Collaborations for Knowledge Sharing and Learning
Description:
Virtual collaborations can facilitate knowledge sharing and shared
understanding to support learning and training. It also provides
opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate learning.
Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals to collaborate
and acquire information in a variety of domains. These environments
present new channels to educate others on various topics, as well as
learn about a particular domain from others’ knowledge and experiences.
Organizations are utilizing virtual collaborations to support knowledge
sharing with existing and potential customers, stakeholders, partners,
and employees. However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and
performance issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual
environments.
Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the
issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and
learning. We encourage paper submissions that study the development,
use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in
learning and training contexts from a variety of perspectives (e.g.,
individual, organizational, and international). We welcome papers that
study the application of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing
and learning as well as challenge such applications. This minitrack is
open to both theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all
research methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation).
Potential topics may include (but are not limited to):
* Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations for
knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts
* Theoretical models describing the development, use, and assessment of
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and data
analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of virtual
collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along with factors
influencing these activities
* Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the implications for
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual collaborations
for knowledge sharing and learning
Submission Process:
Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020
