Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - ECIS 2021 Track N°11: Digitization of Education, Private Industries, and Society
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - ECIS 2021 Track N°11: Digitization of Education, Private Industries, and Society Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2020 15:38:11 +0000 From: Fedorowicz, Jane <jfedorowicz(a)bentley.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers on Digitization of Education, Private Industries, and Society Track Description Recent developments in digital technology have reshaped almost all aspects of our lives: our education, our work, and our social life. Despite the benefits afforded by digital technologies, they often produce challenges and barriers that the academic community cannot ignore. This track concentrates not only on the opportunities that digitization creates, but also on deciphering how the information systems community can aid in tackling these challenges and barriers. Moreover, the goal of this track is to raise awareness and generate scholarly debate about the opportunities and challenges for fostering digital inclusion in our increasingly interconnected world. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not only essential to achieve fairness in society and assimilate communities, they also drive the proliferation of skillsets fundamental to the realization of a truly digital society in the foreseeable future. Although the role digital technology plays in society has received attention in the past couple of years, research in this area is still rather fragmented. We do not yet have a coherent body of literature that theorizes about the consequences of digital technology on individuals, communities, and the broader society. This track closely aligns with the conference theme, Human Values Crisis in a Digitizing World, in its aspiration for a more just society, in which digital technologies constitute an integral component. This track also considers topics touching on the intersections between age, culture, disabilities, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, and how they relate to education, industries, and society in general. We welcome submissions – either as full research papers or research in progress – that analyse the equalizing role digital technologies play in different aspects of contemporary life. Submissions could include theory development, literature reviews, or practical teaching cases from various research traditions, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, or design science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Opportunities and challenges of digitizing of education, industries, and society * Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, industries, and society * Ethics of digitization of education, industries, and society * Digital transformation and the future of work * Digital and social inclusion in the digital era * Online learning platforms for digital inclusion * Digital inclusion of marginalized groups * Inclusion/exclusion dichotomy of social media * Political freedoms in the digital space * Humane computing * Policy and regulations for promoting inclusiveness * Bridging diversity or inclusivity gap through digital technologies Submission In this track, we welcome submissions - either as full research or research in progress. Submission instructions and templates are found under the link (http://www.ecis2021.com/paper-submission). Important Dates * Paper submission deadline: 18 November 2020 * Acceptance notification: 03 March 2021 * ECIS conference: June 14–16, 2021 Looking forward to your submission to our track at ECIS 2021.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: ECIS 2021 - Track "Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age" Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2020 16:21:34 +0000 From: Urbach, Nils, Prof. Dr. <nils.urbach(a)fim-rc.de> Reply-To: Urbach, Nils, Prof. Dr. <nils.urbach(a)fim-rc.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de>, wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de <wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de> CC: ulrich.remus(a)uibk.ac.at <ulrich.remus(a)uibk.ac.at>, Martin Wiener <martin.wiener(a)tu-dresden.de> (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 29th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2021) Track: Rethinking IS Strategy and Governance in the Digital Age June 14-16, 2021, Marrakech, Morocco (https://www.ecis2021.com/tracks-description <https://www.ecis2021.com/tracks-description>) **************************************************************************** TRACK CHAIRS Ulrich Remus, University of Innsbruck, Austria, ulrich.remus(a)uibk.ac.at <mailto:ulrich.remus@uibk.ac.at> (corresponding track chair) Nils Urbach, Frankfurt UAS & Fraunhofer FIT, Germany, nils.urbach(a)fim-rc.de <mailto:nils.urbach@fim-rc.de> Martin Wiener, TU Dresden, Germany, martin.wiener(a)tu-dresden.de <mailto:martin.wiener@tu-dresden.de> DESCRIPTION In the digital age, innovative technologies influence and change established work processes, products, services, and business models by connecting individuals, organizations, machines, and other ‘things’ in new ways, as well as by enabling novel working, collaboration, and automation models (Fitzgerald et al. 2014). To succeed in this highly competitive and dynamic environment, organizations must unfold the potential of advanced digital technologies in their business strategies, transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that are central to their value propositions (Legner et al. 2017). In short, pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations in general, and IT functions in particular. Besides ensuring regular IT operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into marketable solutions – and with that to directly contribute to their organization’s value proposition (Urbach et al. 2017). In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems), novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., IT consumerization, human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance (Markus 2017; Newell & Marabelli 2015). For instance, while cloud services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of governing the design and use of such services and associated IT resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev 2016). Digital business models and gig economy platforms that revolve around resource sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor 2014). Similarly, while AI-based algorithms can automate business processes, they also highlight the need for data and process governance (Tarafdar et al. 2017). At the same time, in organizations where more ‘traditional’ technologies and work arrangements are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges remain highly complex and important (Wiener et al. 2016). The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. First, from a scholarly research perspective, the objective is to foster and promote novel concepts and theories on IS strategy and governance, with a particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Second, the track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage emerging digital technologies, to respond to digitalization challenges, and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources. The track is open to all types of contributions—including research in progress—studying IS strategy and governance topics from different stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g., for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, project, program, organizational, network, ecosystem, and societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual, design-oriented, and empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the conference theme “Human Values Crisis in a Digitizing World” by discussing and expanding our understanding of how digital technologies (e.g., those used for control or governance purposes) and human values influence each other and sometimes conflict, whether at the individual, the organizational and/or the societal level. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities, sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic objectives into governance practices and structures) • Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on business models, governance structures, and processes, etc. • Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g., new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies operating with coexisting ‘brick and mortar’ and digital business models) • Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g., ‘digital race’ between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT relationships) • Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic management of work processes, technology-mediated control) • Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, IT consumerization, IT-enabled product-service systems, resource sharing, etc.) • Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development, human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g., crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing) • Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and policies for critical infrastructures) • Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional side-effects (e.g., technostress) • Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age (e.g., truly ‘new’ features and challenges of digitalization, links to traditional research streams) • Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden, or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the digital age REFERENCES • Fitzgerald, M., Kruschwitz, N., Bonnet, D., & Welch, M.

In this regard knowledge is still important or becomes even more important. Especially, due to shorter product life cycles the half-life period of knowledge declines. This is a challenge for organizations as well as for the individual and generates new requirements to knowledge management (KM). Additional powerful digital technologies such as cheap sensors generating big amounts of data and advanced data analytic approaches for knowledge discovery have led to substantial changes in knowledge sharing practices. This track raises the questions whether and how digitization in general change the socio-technical aspects related to managing organizational knowledge. To reach new horizons, with respect to digitization, the question is how advanced data analytic approaches and AI can support knowledge creation and especially help to externalize implicit knowledge. Further, data-driven technologies seem promising in context detection and, thus, in the delivery of suitable training artefacts and in connecting people. We welcome both full research papers and research-in-progress papers.

To succeed in this highly competitive and dynamic environment, organizations must unfold the potential of advanced digital technologies in their business strategies, transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that are central to their value propositions (Legner et al. 2017). In short, pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations in general, and IT functions in particular. Besides ensuring regular IT operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into marketable solutions – and with that to directly contribute to their organization’s value proposition (Urbach et al. 2017). In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems), novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., IT consumerization, human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance (Markus 2017; Newell & Marabelli 2015). For instance, while cloud services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of governing the design and use of such services and associated IT resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev 2016). Digital business models and gig economy platforms that revolve around resource sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor 2014). Similarly, while AI-based algorithms can automate business processes, they also highlight the need for data and process governance (Tarafdar et al. 2017). At the same time, in organizations where more ‘traditional’ technologies and work arrangements are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges remain highly complex and important (Wiener et al. 2016). The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. First, from a scholarly research perspective, the objective is to foster and promote novel concepts and theories on IS strategy and governance, with a particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Second, the track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage emerging digital technologies, to respond to digitalization challenges, and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources. The track is open to all types of contributions—including research in progress—studying IS strategy and governance topics from different stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g., for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, project, program, organizational, network, ecosystem, and societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual, design-oriented, and empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the conference theme “Human Values Crisis in a Digitizing World” by discussing and expanding our understanding of how digital technologies (e.g., those used for control or governance purposes) and human values influence each other and sometimes conflict, whether at the individual, the organizational and/or the societal level. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities, sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic objectives into governance practices and structures) • Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on business models, governance structures, and processes, etc. • Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g., new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies operating with coexisting ‘brick and mortar’ and digital business models) • Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g., ‘digital race’ between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT relationships) • Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic management of work processes, technology-mediated control) • Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, IT consumerization, IT-enabled product-service systems, resource sharing, etc.) • Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development, human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g., crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing) • Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and policies for critical infrastructures) • Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional side-effects (e.g., technostress) • Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age (e.g., truly ‘new’ features and challenges of digitalization, links to traditional research streams) • Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden, or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the digital age REFERENCES • Fitzgerald, M., Kruschwitz, N., Bonnet, D., & Welch, M.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfps: Special issue on Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to Combat a Pandemic Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2020 08:32:53 -0600 From: Jeet Gupta <guptaj(a)uah.edu> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Journal of Data, Information, and Management* *Call for Paper for Special Issue on* *Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to Combat a Pandemic* COVID-19 has become a global public health pandemics, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and trillions of dollars of economic damage. Scientists, researchers, doctors and healthcare experts around the world are studying this pandemic and its impacts on individuals, organizations and societies. While there is no cure yet for the virus, contact tracing has become an important part of the response to the covid-19 pandemic. This has led to calls for new technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, capable of detecting, tracking, and isolating Covid-19 cases, to slow the spread of the coronavirus. This also includes performing predictive analytics on relational, temporal and/or spatial data (medical encounter data, hospital admission data, social media data, mobile apps data and others) and use the insights from it to understand and monitor the epidemic. Further, the impact of Covid-19 is not limited just to the healthcare sector as all other sectors of any economy of the world are affected as well. Therefore, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the need to understand different things in a new way has also created pressure to develop analytical tools. In particular, research has been done on how the virus spreads among the population and what health problems are caused by viral infections, as well as how different treatment measures affect the disease. Recently, however, other problems caused by the Covid-19 virus, such as economic and social problems, have also arisen. These various problems are constantly accumulating a considerable amount of data, which can be either a well-defined or fragmented news stream. In this special issue of the *Journal of Data, Information and Management* on the theme of “Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (including machine learning) to combat Covid-19” is intended to obtain insights and viewpoints from scholars and practitioners on the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning for the prevention or reduction of the negative impact of COVID-19. We seek for articles that apply artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science concepts and techniques to study the pandemic and its effects on individuals, organizations or the supply chain at large. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: · The behavioral, temporal, societal, and organizational aspects of the pandemic · Predictive modeling of COVID-19 spread based on hospital data · Location-based human mobility data (e.g. social media, mobile) to track COVID-19 · Use of AI and machine learning enabled devices to detect COVID-19 · Analysis of disease transmissions and interventions · Data analysis of the impact of various (non)government intervention policies (e.g. stay-at-home, mask mandate) on the COVID-19 transmission · How enterprise systems (i.e. ERP, SCM, CRM) complement, the ever increasing need to work from home. · Urban logistics · Sustainability issues · Supply Chain Flexibility · Food Supply Chains · Distant work (productivity and social impact) · Innovation in the supply chain · Globalization of supply chains · Supply Chain Risk · Innovative strategies to limit risk of epidemic disease propagation · Simulation of outbreak events · Big data-driven health system response to epidemic outbreaks on operations risk identification · AI-based epidemic network analysis · MCDM models in field of healthcare risk management · IoT application in healthcare · Humanitarian logistics dealing with uncertainties · Other topics related this special issue *Important Dates:* December 15, 2020: Submission deadline for paper submission January 31, 2021: First round of reviews to the authors March 31, 2021: Submission of the revised papers May 15, 2021: Notification of the acceptance decision August 1, 2021: Publication of the special issue *Guest Editor-in-Chief:* Jatinder N.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE The official language of the event is English, however, papers on issues related to text and speech processing in languages other than English are strongly encouraged. LOCATION Olomouc is a beautiful place on the Morava river with more than a thousand-year-long history. Once a capital of Moravia - one of the three historical Lands of the Bohemian Crown - nowadays, it still somehow waits to be rediscovered. The world-renowned tourist guide Lonely Planet alerted to this fact by putting Olomouc onto the list of TOP 10 tourist destinations not to be missed during a visit to Europe. It even claimed Olomouc is one of the most unappreciated destinations in the Czech Republic. By its beauty, Olomouc can, however, easily compete with not only Prague but any other most sought spots around Europe. It certainly deserves our attention. One can find there the second most important urban conservation zone in the Czech Republic, surrounded by splendorous parks, an incredible concentration of ecclesiastical structures, UNESCO-protected monuments, and even a horolog with a history maybe more interesting than the Prague one. All together safe from the neverending bustle of large cities... The most important monument in Olomouc is the Holy Trinity Column standing in the central square. It represents the largest group of Baroque statues in one structure in Central Europe. Apart from many historical buildings such as Olomouc castle with the gothic cathedral of St. Wenceslas or the former Olomouc fortress, another interesting point about Olomouc is the astronomical clock, designed in the spirit of Socialist Realism. The city of Olomouc has a convenient location close to the geographic centre of Moravia (a historical region in the east of the Czech Republic), on the banks of the river Morava. The place forms an important highway and railroad junction; thus, it is easily accessible using both individual and public means of transport. Olomouc lies 260 km (162 mi) eastwards from the Czech capital Prague, and 210 km (130 mi) from both the Slovakian capital Bratislava and the Austrian capital Vienna. The closest international airports are 77 km (48 mi) away in Brno, and 202 km (126 mi) away in Katowice in Poland. We are very excited about the fact that the TSD2021 is going to take place in such a fabulous, unique and rich in history city as Olomouc. ABOUT CONFERENCE The conference is organized by the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen; the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno; and the Faculty of Arts, Palacky University, Olomouc.
