-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: 2020 HITS- Health Information Technology Symposium (Formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2020 13:57:31 +0000 From: Matt W. Wimble <mwimble(a)suffolk.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: 2020 HITS- Health Information Technology Symposium (Formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop) An AIS SIG-Health Sponsored Workshop December 15, 2020, Online HITS (formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop) is a pre-conference activity of the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) hosted by the Special Interest Group Health IT (SIGHEALTH). It provides a forum for those working on information technology in the context of healthcare. We welcome both research-in-progress and completed work on a broad range of topics and methodologies. Authors do not have to be SIG-Health members to participate. Please note that papers do not need to be specific to the conference theme. Any paper on health IT is acceptable. The papers will not be included in conference proceedings and so authors retain all copyrights to their work. However, accepted papers will be listed with author names, affiliations and title on the AIS SIG-Health website. Authors will have the option to include their final extended abstract on the website as well. The workshop is typically restricted to 40 participants and will include presentations and round-table discussions. All submitted work will be reviewed by the co-chairs and other workshop authors. All accepted papers will then be presented and discussed during round-table discussions to provide authors with help, feedback, suggestions, and to facilitate future collaborations. We will have 3-5 authors per table to facilitate discussion. The paper with highest review scores may be presented to all workshop attendees. The interactive format of the workshop is geared towards providing a high degree of feedback to authors with promising early-stage work, but is certainly open to developed and completed research as well. Workshop Registration Fees: TBD Submission Instructions We will request extended abstracts for presentation at the workshop. Papers must be in English, and need to contain original research. Submit your work at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hits2020. Create a single pdf file containing an extended abstract that is no longer than six pages (blinded, 11-pt font, one-inch margins on four sides, double-spaced). Please note the extended abstract format of this workshop. Manuscripts which fail to comply with the formatting requirements will likely be rejected. Do not send full length papers. This workshop is designed to given authors of papers at many stages of development timely feedback, therefore authors need to adhere to the format guidelines to facilitate a timely review process. Also note: 1) By submitting, the author team agrees to perform two reviews of other abstracts submitted to the workshop and we have a quick . This is done to ensure each manuscript gets at minimum two reviews. 2) we do not hold copyright, but we do produce an informal proceedings to facilitate discussion at the workshop.

Fwd: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue on Data Science for Social Good - Second CFP with updates on Editorial Board
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue on Data Science for Social Good - Second CFP with updates on Editorial Board Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 10:16:09 -0400 From: Jennifer Xu <jiexu2(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to submit your research to the special issue on *Data Science for Social Good *at the Journal of Association for Information Systems (JAIS). https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/JAISSIonDataScienceforSocialGood.pdf *Submission deadline*: *February 15, 2021* *Special Issue Co-Editors* - Ahmed Abbasi, University of Notre Dame (aabbasi(a)nd.edu) - Roger H.L. Chiang, University of Cincinnati (roger.chiang(a)uc.edu) - Jennifer Xu, Bentley University (jxu(a)bently.edu) *Scope and Focus of the Special Issue* Data science is an interdisciplinary field that applies mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and data visualization techniques to extract insights and knowledge from data that are normally big and encompass both structured and unstructured formats. Jim Gray, a 1998 Turing Award winner, promoted data science as a new, fourth paradigm for scientific discovery in response to the large amounts of data generated by scientific experiments in many disciplines (Hey et al., 2009). In this vein, data science complements experimental, theoretical, and computational science as an emerging research paradigm for understanding nature and society (Bell et al., 2009). The inherently interdisciplinary nature of data science, and the fact that it is a catalyst for business transformation and technology disruption, presents many research opportunities for a diverse discipline such as Information Systems (IS). This has spurred a call for greater IS research on business data science (Saar-Tsechansky 2015). Similarly, there is a need for IS research on the development and evaluation of data science artifacts (e.g., models, methods, and systems) that address broader societal challenges. A lingering question remains: what societal challenges can IS-oriented data science research contribute towards - and how can we conduct such research to maximize impact and relevance? It is generally accepted that the primary goal of scientific discovery and technological innovation are to improve the human condition and the overall well-being of society. As the world deals with unprecedented pandemics and grapples with painful centuries-old social justice inequities, the importance of data science for social good has once again come front and center. For example, the U.S. National Institute for Health's data science resource page lists many available datasets and computational resources ( https://datascience.nih.gov/covid-19-open-access-resources). This data is being used to develop models and methods to diagnose likelihood of infection, detect outbreak hot spots, and forecast intensive care unit bed capacities. Similarly, social justice projects are attempting to democratize data science in key contexts such as crime analytics. However, it must be pointed out that data science for social good (DSSG) is not merely about applying data science techniques to data sets of societal importance. As a recent McKinsey report noted, data science/AI work exploring social good use cases cannot rely solely on a "social-first" or "tech-first" approach, but rather, must consider the amalgamation of these two perspectives (Chui et al., 2018). The IS field has noted the importance of taking a more holistic approach to such research that encompasses a socio-technical lens (Abbasi et al., 2016) spanning context, people, process, and technology. Accordingly, for this special issue, some of the major themes include: *Novel Data Science Artifacts for Social Good* IT artifacts include constructs, models, methods, and instantiations (Hevner et al., 2004). Novelty lies at the intersection of artifact design as well as its application (Gregor and Hevner 2013). Whereas application domains like health and the environment have received some attention, many key areas remain underexplored (Chui et al., 2018). Examples include education, economic empowerment, security and justice, crises response, infrastructure, and hunger. For DSSG, the novel data science artifacts include new models, methods, and systems applied to interesting and timely social good use cases that enhance our knowledge and understanding of the state-of-the-art in meaningful ways. *Measuring Social Impact* Data science artifacts are often evaluated and validated based on how well they perform across a set of well-established performance metrics (e.g., accuracy and sensitivity). The importance of such metrics has been further amplified in recent years with the rise of data analytics competitions, crowd-sourcing platforms, and leaderboards. While such metrics are important, and in some respects, they constitute the "price of admission" for artifact design, they often fail to consider key downstream implications - humanistic outcomes and societal impact. This is what some IS scholars have described as "going the last research mile...using scientific knowledge and methods to address important unsolved classes of problems for real people with real stakes in the outcomes" (Nunamaker et al., 2015, p. 11). Research geared towards measuring social impact might include (but is not limited to) new methods, constructs, or case studies that enhance our understanding of how to quantify and assess the social impact of data science artifacts. *Data Science Ethics and Governance Considerations* Important data science considerations related to trust, explainability, bias, fairness, privacy, and ethical use are beginning to garner a fair amount of attention from policy makers, academia, and the business community - and for good reason. However, much work has taken a univariate tunnel-vision perspective that fails to consider the interplay between these factors. As one example, through immersive longitudinal field research, we know that DSSG projects examining the efficacy of interventions geared towards health disparate populations should consider the intersections between factors such as trust, bias, privacy, and fairness (Abbasi et al., 2018; Taylor et al., 2018). We welcome research that explores the complexity of ethical challenges and governance considerations related to the application of data science in interesting societally impactful contexts. *Topics of Interest* The DSSG follows a tradition of IS research that examines how the advancement of information technology and systems address societal challenges such as digital divide and social inclusion. Data science has a great potential to provide tremendous social benefits in the future. This special issue advocates the need for more IS research in studying DSSG, and encourages the creation and evaluation of data science artifacts to examine and address societal challenges in a variety of contexts and domains. In addition, this special issue seeks to promote collaborations between IS researchers that are technically focused and those with more of a social/people focus. Our hope is that this special issue sparks in-depth examination about where data science capabilities can be applied to address societal challenges in ways that are unique, thought-provoking, and impactful. This JAIS special issue welcomes original research for addressing societal challenges in various domains and areas, including, but not limited to, the following: - Crises response - Healthcare and welfare - Public transportation and safety - Education and employment - Security and law enforcement - Urban planning and development - Environmental protection, clean energy, and sustainability - Not-for-profit organizations and government agencies' services - Ethnical and social biases embedded in datasets and analytics methods - Social justice, disparities, inequality and poverty *Submission Process and Timelines* In the extended abstract and full paper submission, authors should clearly justify the novelty and significance of their work. We encourage prospective authors to read the recent JAIS editorial on "What's in a Contribution?" to justify their research's significant and novel contributions to the IS discipline regarding Data Science for Social Good (Leidner 2020). All submissions must be original and not be published or under review elsewhere. Papers should be submitted following the standard JAIS submission procedure (http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/). All JAIS submission guidelines must be met. Although optional, authors are strongly encouraged to contact the co-editors with a 1-3 page extended abstract by November 15, 2020 to evaluate research fit with the special issue. The co-editors also plan to organize an online paper development workshop in the summer of 2021. Authors of invited to submit a revision for a second round of review will have an opportunity to present their work at this workshop. The exact date and format of this online workshop will be determined after the first round of review.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - ECIS 2021: The Token Economy - Blockchain Applications beyond Fintech Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 05:50:22 +0000 From: Horst Treiblmaier <Horst.Treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS ECIS2021 The Token Economy - Blockchain Applications beyond Fintech European Conference on Information Systems, June 14-16, 2021 Marrakech, Morocco http://www.ecis2021.com/tracks-description Track Description : Blockchain technologies enable the creation of cryptographic tokens, namely representations of tangible (e.g., real estate) or intangible (e.g., patent) assets as tokens that are easy to purchase and trade. A multitude of potential use cases that go far beyond financial applications are currently envisioned and pilots tested, but numerous technical, organizational and legal hurdles still exist which might impede the widespread adoption of a token economy. Furthermore, acceptance among non-institutional end users is still low. The token economy thus raises numerous important questions, ranging from a critical evaluation of the capabilities and limitations of tokens from a technical perspective toward its applicability to transform economic structures through the tokenization of business processes, real-world assets, and property rights. Additionally, legal and trust issues exist, which are exacerbated by the borderless nature of blockchain technologies. Given the novelty of the token economy, numerous questions regarding the nature of the technology and its potential socio-economic implications need to be solved. To address these gaps, this track calls for academic research on blockchain-based tokens and their potential technical, economic and social implications. We invite innovative and relevant empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual/theoretical papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Token economy and new forms of economic organizing (e.g., co-ops, decentralized platforms, public good provision) Socio-technical systems view of the token economy Token-based business models and use cases beyond finance Economics of tokenized networks Institutional and user acceptance of cryptographic tokens Factors influencing the success of token-based business models Token taxonomy Token-based entrepreneurship The role and impact of tokens on venture capital (e.g., ICOs, STOs, IEOs) Macroeconomic implications of the token economy Tokens as incentive mechanisms Governance of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their potentials and limitations Security and privacy issues of tokens Legal implications and challenges of a token economy Philosophical perspectives of a token economy Track Chairs : Horst Treiblmaier, Modul University Vienna, Austria, horst.treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at<mailto:horst.treiblmaier@modul.ac.at> Johann Kranz, LMU Munich, Germany, kranz(a)bwl.lmu.de<mailto:kranz@bwl.lmu.de> Melanie Swan, Purdue University, US, swan3(a)purdue.edu<mailto:swan3@purdue.edu> IMPORTANT DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: 18 November 2020.

In addressing IS research questions, these papers are expected to use theories and methods from the cognitive and psychological sciences. The future of the Information System discipline is bound to involve human cognition as more and more systems are being used to meet our social needs. Human cognition deals with how we know things, through processes such as reasoning, perception, and judgment. *SIG Cognitive Research* is intended to represent and support researchers in information systems who view understanding human cognition as a critical component to the successful design and implementation of information systems. As such, the questions of interest that are relevant to this SIG group focus on IS problems in terms of the process of knowing. There is a wide range of diverse topics from which these questions can come. This year, our SIG CORE workshop offers the theme of *Cognitive IS, Positive Design, and Sustainable Development*, in response to the AIS Grand Vision Challenge <https://aisnet.org/news/474400/The-25-for-25-Campaign-10-AIS-Grand-Vision-C…>. We welcome research that addresses the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals <https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs> from the cognitive research perspective to achieve human flourishing and sustainable organizational growth. These include, but are not limited to, the ones listed below. * Cognitive research and positive design for human flourishing * Cognitive research and positive design for sustainable organizational growth * Cognitive aspects of learning and innovation * Creativity and creative cognition * Cognition in wearable technology and exoskeletons * Cognitive perspectives on human or computer-mediated knowledge-sharing * Cognitive perspectives on decision processes * Cognitive perspectives on knowledge management * Cognitive perspectives on the design or use of information systems * Cognitive processes of programmers/systems developers * Cognition in Virtual Worlds * Cognition in worlds of augmented reality * Group and individual cognition in collaborative work * Research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS * Design of user learning and training interventions * Group and individual decision support systems * Group and individual problem-finding, problem-solving * Human factors in information environments * Human-computer interaction or human factors perspectives involving cognition or perception * Situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition While preference will be given to submissions within the Sustainable Development theme, the organizing committee will also consider submissions in other cognitive research domains. *TRACKS:* *Full papers:* Papers should be limited to 10,000 words, including tables, figures, and references. Authors must also include an abstract not exceeding 300 words. Papers are to be submitted electronically to jiashen(a)rider.edu with the subject line "CORE Submission". *Student track*: To encourage student participation, students may submit full papers, research in progress, or proposals. Research in progress and proposals will be allocated shorter presentation times but will allow students to get feedback. When you submit please indicate if you are a student. *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *Send all submissions electronically to jiashen(a)rider.edu with the subject line "CORE Submission". Before submitting, please format papers so that: 1. the first page contains only the paper title, author names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses 2. the second page contains only the paper title and abstract, without author names 3. identifying information is removed from the file properties 4. all comments are removed and changes are accepted (if necessary) Papers may be submitted in MS Word or Acrobat formats. If submitting in Acrobat, please submit the title page with author information separately. *REVIEWING *Submissions will be double-blind reviewed. The organizing committee will participate in and coordinate the review process. Submitting authors agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested. *WORKSHOP FORMAT *The workshop is intended to serve as a showcase of leading cognitive research in information systems. There are no separate tracks or concurrent presentations. The format of the workshop is designed to enable open and constructive discussions of the research, in a spirit of collegial community-building. The workshop will run for half-day. Our business meeting will be held at the end of the workshop. *EXTENDED ABSTRACTS* This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers to help authors publish their papers in top academic journals. To prevent copyright issues for subsequent publication, authors of accepted papers will be required to submit an extended abstract which will be distributed at the workshop and made available on the SIG website. The purpose of this extended abstract is to highlight key aspects of the papers presented for discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis of the theoretical background, methods and findings of the full paper. The extended abstract should not exceed 2 pages of single-spaced text including any tables, figures and references. *IMPORTANT DATES **Submission deadline*: November 8, 2020 *Acceptance notification*: November 20, 2020 *Submission of extended abstracts for program*: December 4, 2020 *Workshop*: Sunday, December 13, 2020 *Questions?* Contact Jia Shen (jiashen(a)rider.edu) *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* Jia Shen Rider University jiashen(a)rider.edu Luca Iandoli St. John’s University iandolil(a)stjohns.edu Emre Yetgin Rider University eyetgin(a)rider.edu Cindy Riemenschneider Baylor University C_Riemenschneider(a)baylor.edu Bob Otondo Mississippi State University rotondo(a)business.msstate.edu Jia Shen, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Chair Department of Information Systems, Analytics, and Supply Chain Management Norm Brodsky College of Business Rider University Phone: (609) 895-5535 Email: jiashen(a)rider.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
