AMCIS 2020 CFP - Mini-Track: Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-25
Track: Systems Analysis and Design
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA August 12-16, 2020
It is fair to say that agile methodologies – in some form or manner –
have been widely accepted in industry. We are farther along in our
understanding of various aspects of agile development, including but not
limited to its adoption, adaptation, scalability, social aspects,
project management, distributed development, and enterprise agility.
However, the emergence of new technologies, the increase in regulatory
requirements, and the enormous changes that have occurred in the
development landscape present opportunities for new areas of research.
For example, the advent of DevOps and its interplay with agile has
scarcely been empirically investigated. Likewise, agile methodologies
appear to be a natural fit for Business Analytics projects. Yet, there
is not much empirical research on their efficacy on such projects. This
mini-track provides a forum for researchers to address fundamental
issues regarding DevOps and agile development practices as well as
contemporary topics raised by its widespread acceptance and use.
Suggested Topics
* Agile versus traditional project management * Agile methods in
Business Analytics/Dashboarding applications * Knowledge Management in
agile development
* Agile methods - theory versus practice
* Decision-making and governance issues in agile development
* Self-organizing principles/practices of agile teams
* Integrating HCI concepts with agile development * Economics of agile
development
* Role of agile methods in large-scale, mission critical systems
* Scalability of agile projects
* Agile development in regulated environments
* Distributed agile development - challenges, risks, and opportunities
* Lean practices in agile development
* Ability of agile practices to deal with project disruptions
* Theoretical foundations of (agile) software development * Agile in
Open Source Software (OSS) development
* DevOps and agility

Happy New Year to All!
The 2020 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
IFIP WG8.11/WG11.13 Friday October 2 – Saturday October 3, 2020
Ames, Iowa
CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
will continue the efforts to advance the discipline of information
systems security through the creation, dissemination, and preservation
of well-formed research, following the success of the first eleven
Information Systems Security Research Workshops (University of Cape
Town, 2009; Bentley University, 2010;
Virginia Tech, 2011; Brigham Young University, 2012; University at
Buffalo, 2013; Newcastle University, 2014; University of Delaware, 2015;
University of New Mexico, 2016; University of South Florida, 2017;
University of Cape Town, 2018; Louisiana Tech University, 2019).
The active discussions in the workshop are intended to provide
participants specific and actionable feedback on their research. We
anticipate that this process will facilitate the successful development
of workshop papers for further consideration at important journals (See
https://ifip.byu.edu/ for past DRW papers which have been published in
journals). Selection for the workshop is competitive, and only authors
of the accepted papers and the active working group members will be
invited to participate.
Anchoring the workshop to information systems means that the research
will attend to and extend the social, organizational, and managerial
literature in the focal area. Note that this is not an appropriate venue
for papers with a purely technical, design-science, or econometric
approach. While we assume an effective foundation in information
security technology, we regard information systems risk broadly, for
example, computer crime, employee misconduct, cyber warfare, cyber
terrorism, human error and/or accident, natural events, etc. We also
address information systems security broadly, for example, policies and
policy compliance, diverse security behaviors, privacy, awareness,
strategy, audit, planning and control. These and related research topics
will be the focus of this workshop.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The 2020 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
• Theoretical and empirical analyses of information security behavior
• Adoption, use, and continuance of information security technologies
and policies
• Compliance with information security and privacy policies, procedures,
and regulations
• Investigations of computer crime and security violations
• Motivators and inhibitors of employee computer crime
• Forensic analysis of security breaches and computer crimes
• Individual, organizational, and group information privacy concerns and
behaviors
• Legal, societal, and ethical issues in information security
• Neurosecurity (NeuroIS) investigations of information security behavior
• Behavioral analyses of design science treatments enhancing or
balancing security and privacy tradeoffs

Beijing, China, July 8-9, 2020
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2019 16:15:46 +0000
From: Hossain Shahriar <hshahria(a)kennesaw.edu>
To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Second IEEE Digital Health as a Service Symposium
In conjunction with 2020 IEEE World Congress on Services
Beijing, China, July 8-9, 2020
Please join us in the second IEEE Digital Health as a Service Symposium
(DHAASS) which will be organized within the 2020 IEEE World Congress on
Services (IEEE SERVICES), The Congress will take place July 7-11, 2020,
in Beijing, China (https://conferences.computer.org/services/2020/).
DHAASS, which will be held July 8-9, 2020, aims to bring together
leading researchers, community leaders and visionaries from academia and
industry, end-users, and healthcare professionals, in the area of
digital health to share their research, practical experience, and
visions of the future of sustainable health and social care transformations.
About DHAASS
Looking at the health and integrated care system through services’
spectacles reveal significant opportunities for engaging digital health
to affect an ecosystem shift in which a new health delivery model is
unleashed. Engaging multiple and new roles, including communities and
individual patients in their own integrated healthcare services delivery
is one of the promising opportunities which can be made possible by the
microservices structuring of the health and care system . Broadly
speaking, related discovery, composition and provision of healthcare
services will need to be based on cutting-edge computer technologies and
digital media/data so that quality factors including timing,
granularity, scale, cost-effectiveness, safety, security, privacy, and
precision are integral parts of the healthcare value chain ecosystem.
Digital Health services can include, among many other innovative
methods, preventive and predictive capabilities of machine learning
based data analytics, actionable recommendations based on in-situ
monitoring and assessment of an individual’s real-time physical and
cognitive performance, trade-off analysis between cloud-based versus
edge-based sensory data streaming and data analytics.
Scope
DHAASS will embrace a broad spectrum of issues and concerns, including,
but not limited to, the following topics related to digital health as
services:
• Microservices models and architectures of health and integrated care
services
• Disease/condition-specific provider microservice design (e.g.,
diabetes, obesity, COPD, dementia, post cancer treatment, allergies,
Ear, Nose and Throat Conditions (ENT))
• Patient/user-side microservices design (user needs, social isolation,
assistive living for older adults and individuals with special needs,
emergencies)
• Standardizing provider-side and user-side microservices. FHIR
resources, profiles and extension for digital health as a service
• Microservices-based delivery pathways co-design and provider acceptability
• Informatic, cybernetic and mediatic digital health platforms
supportive of implementing microservices architecture
• Community crowd-sourcing for delivery of health and care microservices
• Microservices crowd-sourcing platforms
• Worker training and selection, reputation management, and micropayments
• Mediation technology for peer group support (peer-sourcing)
• Qualifying and activating user-side microservice requests:
eligibility, fairness, properness, among other qualifications including
irrational service user models (e.g., a dementia patient requesting the
microservice repeatedly and forgetfully)
• mHealth services and applications which include the use of mobile
devices o in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of
healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients,
• for real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and the direct
provision of care (via mobile telemedicine)
• for training and collaboration of health workers.
• Health economics of microservices-oriented care delivery systems o
Scalability issues for adopting digital health as services
• Empirical study on savings in unit and total cost realized by patient
and community engagement
Submissions
Submitted papers must be solely the work of the author(s), must not have
been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration
for publication elsewhere. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary work
involving end-users, health professionals, care providers and/or
clinicians. We also encourage sharing of research tools and reproducible
data as supplementary materials.
Four types of main track submissions:

BAM Human Resource Management SIG International Symposium
WEBSITE LINK: https://www.bam.ac.uk/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=3661
Description
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Schwab, 2017) has given rise to many
polarized debates about the world of work and how employing
organisations manage people. On the one hand, the emergence of
artificial intelligence and digitization creates opportunities for new
occupations, efficiencies in the production and supply chain, as well as
reduction of human error (Colbert, Yee, & George, 2016; Wang & Siau,
2019). On the other hand, a large number of jobs are at risk of
obsolescence, the skills gap accentuates, and adverse working conditions
within the gig economy intensify (OECD, 2019; Wood, Graham, Lehdonvirta,
& Hjorth, 2019). The role of data analytics also has strong implications
for productivity and experience of work for workers through performance
instantaneous monitoring and management interventions. At the same time,
global and multi-layered developments increase the need for more
sustainable, aligned and contemporary human resources management (HRM)
and employment relations (ER) practices. For example, the changing
demographics in the workforce caused by ageing workforces and conflict-
or disaster-induced mass human displacements resulting in the need for
labour market integration of immigrants and refugees, present employing
organizations with both opportunities and challenges of how to
effectively access novel and rare talent (UNHCR, 2019). In addition,
climate change and global warming have given rise to governmental and
corporate green policies with clear implications for designing,
implementing and championing green HRM practices (Leidner, Baden,
Ashleigh, 2019). Also, the changing nature of work, in part driven by
digital innovations, has increasingly resulted in the growth of
non-standard forms of employment (40% of the total economy in OECD
countries) and subsequently, the need to extend social protection and
the opportunity for collective bargaining to an increasing segment of
workers (OECD, 2019).
This symposium offers an opportunity for dialogue among academics,
practitioners and policy makers to engage with current and future
challenges and identify potential HRM and ER strategies to address such
challenges. We welcome both empirical and conceptual papers that may
examine relevant topics at micro-, meso- or macro-level. All
methodologies are welcome.
Topics likely to be examined include (the list is not exhaustive):
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and job automation
- Ethical use of artificial intelligence and data analytics in workplaces
- Changing workplace demographics, inclusion and diversity in the global
economy
- Training and development of a workforce for the future of work
- Responsible HRM practices in the context of climate and demographic change
- Designing, implementing and promoting HRM practices for the the
digital age
- Opportunities and challenges for talent management in the changing
world of work
- The gig economy and its implications for HRM in a global context
- The role of HRM in sustainable and responsible employing organisations
- HRM and employment practices across different organization forms and
systems
- Big data: opportunities and challenges for workforces
- Roles of institutional actors in regulating digital platform work
- Workers’ voice in the digital age
Keynote speakers will include:
- Thomas A. Kochan, George M. Bunker Professor of Management,
Co-Director, Institute for Work and Employment Research, MIT Sloan
School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.
- Jacqueline O'Reilly, Professor and Co-Director, Digital Futures at

Call for Papers
Annals of Operations Research
Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence in Operations Management
The Annals of Operations Research seeks submissions for a special issue
on "Artificial Intelligence in Operations Management". The deadline for
submission is February 15, 2020.
The recent and exponential increase in the number of adopters of digital
technologies, thanks to information and communications technology (ICTs)
advances, has been drastically changing the field of operations
management (OM). Even though it has been already studied for decades,
artificial intelligence (AI) has gained high momentum only in the recent
decade, in the wake of an unprecedented development of the Internet and
social networks. So, organizations definitely started to incorporate AI
techniques into the management of their various operations.
The main objective of this special issue (SI) is to unlock the potential
of AI applications in the OM field. Scholars and practitioners
interested in providing and sharing the finest and latest advances in
the Interplay of AI in the OM field are therefore invited to submit
their work.
High-quality original research papers are expected. We would especially
welcome innovative contributions based on survey research, in-depth real
cases, multicriteria methodologies, and research based on mixed-methods
approaches.
The main topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* In-depth real cases reporting the main types of AI used in OM
* In-depth real cases reporting machine learning applications in OM
* In-depth real cases reporting AI adoption and implementation in the OM
field
* In-depth real cases reporting on the use of the Internet of Things in OM
* Surveys exploring the diffusion stages of AI in the OM field
* Surveys exploring the barriers of AI adoption in OM
* AI heuristics for the optimization of the OM service level
* Frameworks to support AI implementation
* AI and big data analytics applied in OM
* AI and blockchain technologies applied in OM
* The application of disruptive technologies in OM
* Multicriteria decision analysis applied in the interplay of AI and OM
* Applications of AI in supply chain management
* Main risks related to AI in OM
* Benefits and improvement of AI in supporting decision-making process in OM
* Critical success factors of AI adoption and implementation and
diffusion in OM
Instructions for authors can be found at:
http://www.springer.com/business/operations+research/journal/10479
Authors should submit a cover letter and a manuscript by February 15,
2020, via the Journal's online submission site. Manuscripts submitted
after the deadline may not be considered for the special issue and may
be transferred, if accepted, to a regular issue.
Please see the Author Instructions on the web site if you have not yet
submitted a paper through Springer's web-based system, Editorial
Manager. When making a comment, please select the article's type "S.I. :
