In 2021, we will hold the 1st ISJ Trending Topics Workshop immediately before ECIS 2021. This workshop is scheduled to occur from 1.30-4:30pm on Sunday, June 13, 2021. The workshop will be conducted virtually via a video conference with breakout sessions. Workshop information: The ISJ encourages research that reflects the wide and interdisciplinary nature of the IS field and is looking for submissions that integrate technological advancements and digital innovations with social, contextual and management issues, based on research using appropriate research methods. With our new paper development workshop format, we aim to put a particular emphasis on the rapidly advancing technological development that may help us to deal with massive societal and health-related challenges but also confronts us with increasing complexity and unwanted side effects of technology use. Thus, this paper development workshop promotes scholarship that focuses on high-impact research on new trending topics in the IS field. Workshop participants will discuss drafts of their corresponding research work with ISJ editorial board members, and other workshop participants. Please see a list of topics of interest, below. Authors are not obliged to submit their work to ISJ, although the journal is a top-quality outlet that welcomes both conceptual and empirical papers. It is the ISJ objective that those papers receiving feedback during the workshop will be ready for submission and publication consideration in ISJ afterwards. In fact, we are confident that a decent number of workshop papers will be published in the journal, year by year. Prior to the workshop, participants whose papers have been accepted for discussion in the workshop, will receive one to three papers to read and review for their virtual roundtable. During the workshop, participants meet in small groups where participants receive feedback from ISJ editorial board members and provide feedback on other participants’ papers. The ISJ Senior and Associate Editors will facilitate the discussion such that each participant has equal time to receive comments from the group’s members. Please see a list of all involved ISJ editorial board members, below. Selection for the ISJ Trending Topics Workshop is competitive. This workshop primarily addresses trending topics and significant societal issues wrapped in a high-quality and high-impact research piece. To be considered, a paper must demonstrate a significant contribution to IS research, with or without data. We do not consider papers that are currently accepted, under review, or under revision at other journals or conferences. Topics of interest (include but are not limited to): * Inclusive digital initiatives * The impact of artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning * Cryptocurrencies and digital money * Implications of blockchain and distributed ledger technology * IS in social and political protests and issues of (in)equality and marginalized groups * Dark side of technology including addiction, victimization, surveillance * IS for a greener society, government, and/or industry * IOT, wearable devices and their impacts on lifestyle, diets and exercise habits * Psychological, social and cultural aspects of human computer and robot interactions * Designs for wearable, pervasive, and ubiquitous systems and computing * Social cyberwarfare and cybersecurity * Ethical uses of data and algorithms * Automation and augmentation of tasks, work and occupations * Critical views of consequences of new work arrangements on workers and society * Social media and digital collaboration for political participation and societal changes * New organizing forms enabled by sharing economy, platforms, and crowds * IS to fight global health crises (e.g., COVID-19) * The role of IS for climate change Application details: The application deadline is Saturday, March 13, 2021. Papers should be line spaced at 1.5 with wide margins on one side of the page. A manuscript should not exceed around 10,000 words for the main text, not counting the appendices and references.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Journal of Information Technology (JIT) December 2020 Issue (35:4) Published
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Journal of Information Technology (JIT) December 2020 Issue (35:4) Published Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 09:42:28 +0000 From: Daniel Schlagwein <schlagwein(a)sydney.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, The December 2020 issue of the Journal of Information Technology (JIT) has been published. This is the TOC: Debate: Robo-Apocalypse cancelled? Reframing the automation and future of work debate<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220925830> Leslie Willcocks pp. 286–302 Robotics and the automation of knowledge work, often referred to as AI (artificial intelligence), are presented in the media as likely to have massive impacts, for better or worse, on jobs skills, organizations and society. The article deconstructs the dominant hype-and-fear narrative. Claims on net job loss emerge as exaggerated, but there will be considerable skills disruption and change in the major global economies over the next 12 years. The term AI has been hijacked, in order to suggest much more going on technologically than can be the case. The article reviews critically the research evidence so far, including the author’s own, pointing to eight major qualifiers to the dominant discourse of major net job loss from a seamless, overwhelming AI wave sweeping fast through the major economies. The article questions many assumptions: that automation creates few jobs short or long term; that whole jobs can be automated; that the technology is perfectible; that organizations can seamlessly and quickly deploy AI; that humans are machines that can be replicated; and that it is politically, socially and economically feasible to apply these technologies. A major omission in all studies is factoring in dramatic increases in the amount of work to be done. Adding in ageing populations, productivity gaps and skills shortages predicted across many G20 countries, the danger might be too little, rather than too much labour. The article concludes that, if there is going to be a Robo-Apocalypse, this will be from a collective failure to adjust to skills change over the next 12 years. But the debate needs to be widened to the impact of eight other technologies that AI insufficiently represents in the popular imagination and that, in combination, could cause a techno-apocalypse. Commentaries: Robo-apocalypse cancelled? Commentary<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220925832> Kristine Dery pp. 303–304 Robo-apocalypse cancelled?<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220925096> Stefan Klein, Mary Beth Watson-Manheim pp. 305–306 Information systems research on artificial intelligence and work: A commentary on “Robo Apocalypse cancelled? Reframing the automation and future of work debate”<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220926511> Marleen Huysman pp. 307–309 The robo-apocalypse plays out in the quality, not in the quantity of work<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220923677> Kai Riemer, Sandra Peter pp. 310–315 How do offshoring-related changes in job characteristics affect onshore managers’ affective organizational commitment? The moderating role of perceived organizational valence<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220942237> Angelika Zimmermann, Eleni Lioliou, João S Oliveira pp. 316–336 Offshoring—the transfer of work activities to providers in offshore countries—has for some time affected the nature of work in onshore locations. Not much is however known about the reactions of onshore job incumbents to such changes. In this article, we use a survey of UK firms to examine the relationship between perceived changes in onshore managers’ work characteristics induced by information systems offshoring and managers’ affective organizational commitment. We found that a perceived increase in onshore managers’ job complexity was associated with higher affective organizational commitment only if managers also perceived organizational valence, that is, only if they believed that information systems offshoring benefited their organization. A perceived increase in cross-cultural work was associated with higher affective organizational commitment, and this association was positively moderated by managers’ perceptions of organizational valence. Using the offshoring context, our findings provide insights into consequences of contemporary changes in the nature of work in developed countries and to explain the diverse reactions of onshore job incumbents to such changes. Is code law? Current legal and technical adoption issues and remedies for blockchain-enabled smart contracts<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220924669> Daniel Drummer, Dirk Neumann pp. 337–360 Blockchain technology has enabled so-called smart contracts between different parties on a decentralized network. These self-enforceable and self-executable computerized contracts could initiate a fundamental paradigm shift in the understanding and functioning of our legal practices. Opportunities for their application are increasingly understood, and numerous tests of feasibility have been completed. However, only very few use cases have yet been implemented at scale. This article—as the first of its kind—comprehensively analyzes the underlying challenges and locates a key reason for the slow adoption in the discrepancy between legal requirements and IT capabilities. Our work combines a wide range of academic sources and interviews with 30 domain experts from IT, the legal domain and private industry. First, we establish that smart contracts still fall within the boundaries of the general legal framework. We then systematically dissect current shortcomings of smart contracts on three distinct levels, namely, (1) how smart contracts are likely to cause conflicts with existing laws, (2) how smart contracts are intrinsically limited on an individual contract level and (3) how they are impeded by their current technical design. Across those levels, we dissect 20 distinct issues concerning the current implementation of smart contracts for which we derive potential remedies. We further outline implications for policy-makers as well as IT management, and examine how information systems research can play an important role in advancing smart contracts. Finally, we show how managerial and organizational issues might represent an ongoing challenge for the widespread adoption of smart contracts. A ‘conversation’ between Frank Land (FL) and Antony Bryant (AB): PART I<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0268396220908274> Antony Bryant, Frank Land pp. 361–375 The ‘conversation’ offers an important contribution to the archaeology of information systems, both in practice as an academic domain or discipline, and a focus on the genealogy of the field, including some of the accidents and deviations that marked later developments. It is derived from a series of conversations and later exchanges that I arranged with Frank Land. The substantive aspects date from the late 2017 and were then developed in a series of exchanges in 2018; although in effect he and I have been developing this conversation over many years, during which he has been continually challenging, expansive and forthcoming. Comments forthcoming from readers of earlier drafts indicated some perplexity regarding the genre and the objectives of our contribution, so it is important to note that the term ‘conversation’ is something of a conceit. It is not an interview per se, nor is it a biographical account. The core of what follows developed from our verbatim exchanges both face-to-face, and later via email. Some sections, however, have been reworked and enhanced to clarify and augment the issues raised. In addition, we have sought to provide a good deal of background and narrative to guide readers through the text, offering pointers to further resources. The overall contribution is intended to provide an informed and, we hope, informative contribution to people’s understanding of key social and technical issues of our time.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: UKAIS 2021 Annual Conference 23-24 March 2021 – Online Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 18:25:17 +0000 From: Crispin Coombs <C.R.Coombs(a)lboro.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Savvas Papagiannidis (savvas.papagiannidis(a)newcastle.ac.uk) <savvas.papagiannidis(a)newcastle.ac.uk> Call for Papers: UKAIS 2021 Annual Conference - Navigating the ‘new normal’ – Information systems for a post-pandemic world Date & Venue: 23-24 March 2021 – The conference will be online Submission Deadline: Friday 15th of January 2021 https://www.ukais.org/ukais-conference/ukais2021/ The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has caused unprecedented impacts on health and global economies. These impacts have resulted in a renewed interest in the use of Information Systems and Information Technologies (IS/IT) to respond to the health crisis and mitigate its effect on many industries and society. Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have been deployed as part of the healthcare response, to understand COVID-19 transmission, improve detection rates, develop trial vaccines and treatments, and assess the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic (Bullock, Luccioni, Hoffmann Pham, Sin Nga Lam, & Luengo-Oroz, 2020). Semi-autonomous robots have delivered food, medication and equipment and helped with cleaning and sterilisation in hospitals (OECD, 2020). Mobile robots have reminded parkgoers of social distancing requirements in Singapore, delivered food to residents staying at home in urban areas in the UK and represented isolating students at university graduation ceremonies in Japan (Tucker, 2020). Business continuity responses due to the unavailability of human workers have deployed AI for support content monitoring on YouTube, and chatbots are being used for customer service work (Howard & Borenstein, 2020). There has also been a significant shift in the use of IS/IT, such as video conferencing tools to maintain contact in the workplace and for social interactions. The widespread and rapidly increasing application of IS/IT in many aspects of our lives is reinvigorating existing and creating important new debates. For example, whether COVID-19 will be the tipping point for increased use of AI and robotics to automate work (Coombs, 2020) how big data may be organised and shared without compromising human rights (Günther, Mehrizi, Huysman, & Feldberg, 2017), how the balance between office based and remote working may evolve, and whether COVID-19 will spark a transformation in the accessibility and delivery of global higher education (The Guardian, 2020). While the post COVID-19 future remains uncertain, it is clear that IS/IT will be at the heart of the global recovery. IS scholars have an essential role in providing timely research insights that can help governments society and business navigate this new normal. To this end the UKAIS 2021 international conference welcomes submissions that explore how IS/IT may be used to navigate the new normal. For example, submissions may consider the post-covid impacts on: * Artificial Intelligence systems * Bridging the Digital Divide: emancipatory IS * Business Intelligence and Decision Support * Business Process Management * eBusiness and Competitive Strategy * Economics and the Value of IS * eGovernment Solutions to the Citizen * Enterprise Systems * European and Cultural Issues in IS * Healthcare Information Systems * Human-Computer Interaction * Inter-Organizational Systems * Innovative Applications of IS in Teaching * IS Diversity and Diversity in IS * IS Artefacts and IS Artefact Design * IS Innovation, Adoption and Diffusion * IS Governance and Sourcing * Research Methods and Philosophy * Project Management and IS Development * Social Media * Service Engineering and Service Management * Ubiquitous and Mobile Information Systems * Technologies to Promote a Healthy and Secure Society We invite full papers and developmental papers. * Full papers of 5000-7000 words should document established results and will be presented according to the highest academic standards. Allocation of a 20-minute presentation time, followed by a Q&A. Each paper will be uploaded to the AIS eLibrary. * Developmental papers of 1500-2000 words should document research in progress and will be presented according to the highest academic standards. Allocation of a 20-minute presentation time, followed by a Q&A. UKAIS actively encourages submissions from early career researchers. The purpose of development papers is to enable researchers to discuss their work whilst it is in an early stage, so comments and feedback obtained at the event can be incorporated in the final stages of research and writing up. All accepted full-papers will be available internationally through publication in the official AIS electronic library. The UKAIS affiliation with AIS offers our authors a global reach to their work, as all papers are part of the AIS eLibrary: https://aisel.aisnet.org/ukais/.

Observable, measurable, objective interaction behavior plays a central role in the design of these systems, in both the predictive modeling that provides intelligence (e.g., predicting what web pages a website visitor will visit based on their historic navigation behavior) and the evaluation (e.g., decide if a system performs well based on the extent that predictions are accurate and used correctly). When designing more conventional systems (following approaches such as user-centered design or design thinking), designers rely on latent user characteristics (such as beliefs and attitudes, proficiency levels, expertise, personality) aside from objective, observable behavior. By relying on qualitative studies (e.g., observations, focus groups, interviews) they consider not only user characteristics or behavior in isolation, but also the relationship among them. This combination provides valuable information on how to design the systems. HUMANIZE aims to investigate the potential of combining the quantitative, data-driven approaches with the qualitative, theory-driven approaches. We solicit work from researchers that incorporate variables grounded in psychological theory into their adaptive/intelligent systems. These variables allow for designing adaptive systems from a more user-centered approach in terms of requirements or needs based on user characteristics rather than solely interaction behavior, which allows for: Explainability Any adaptive system that relies solely on the interaction behavior data can be explained in terms of expectations, perceptions, variables and models used from theory and define the users as entities, their thinking and feeling, while undertaking purposeful actions (and reactions) regarding e.g., learning, reasoning, problem solving, decision making. Fairness Any adaptive system that considers a human-centred model in its core may consider and respect the individual differences, enabling the design and creation of environments, interventions and AI algorithms that are ethical, open to diversity, policies and legal challenges, and treating all users with fairness regarding their skills and unique characteristics. Transparency Any adaptive system that utilizes the full potential of its human-centred model in terms of definition and impact on decisions made by AI algorithms may facilitate the visibility and transparency of the subsequent actions bringing the control back to the users, for regulating, monitoring and understanding an adaptive outcome that directly affects them. Bias Any adaptive system's AI algorithms and adaptive processes which are designed and developed considering human-centred model characteristics, the impact and relationships of subsequent variables, may facilitate informed interpretations and unveil possible bias decisions, actions and operations of users during their multi-purpose interactions. # TOPICS OF INTEREST A non-exhaustive list of topics for this workshop is: - Identifying theory (e.g., personality, level of domain knowledge, cognitive styles) that can be used for user models for personalizing user interfaces. - Investigating the impact of incorporating psychological theory on explainability, fairness, transparency, and bias - Modeling for inferring of user variables from observable/measureable/objective data (e.g., how to infer personality from social media, how to infer level of domain knowledge from clickstreams). - Designing better adaptive systems from inferred user variables (e.g., altering the number of search results, ordering of interface elements, visual versus textual representations). - User studies investigating one or more of the aspects mentioned above. # TYPES OF PAPERS For this workshop we encourage three kinds of submissions: - Full papers (anonymized 6-8 pages) - Short papers (anonymized up to 4-6 pages) - White papers/Position Statements (anonymized up to 2-4 pages) * page count is excluding references Submissions should follow the standard SigConf format.

Remarkably, the successful utilization of mobile and ubiquitous computing technologies provides acceptable, sustainable, and inexpensive ways for organizations to collect, store, monitor, and process health-related data (WHO 2019). At the same time, software and services such as online platform, mobile, and smartwatch apps, and VR/AR emerged in this context allow organizations and users to exploit and explore these masses of data and offer them immersive interactions (Liu et al. 2019; Steinhubl 2013). There is some early evidence shows that e-health and m-health, in isolation and in combination, benefit organizations and users in an increasing variety of aspects such as care provision, chronic disease management, patient empowerment, information sharing across organizational boundaries (e.g., Free et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2019). For instance, e-health and m-health services powered with AI technologies have achieved primary effects in combatting the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus (Time 2020). However, the increase in e-health and m-health comes with increased uncertainties and risks. How to make full use of e-health and m-health in an efficient, economical, and privacy-preserving manner is still a fundamental challenge for both academics and businesses. Therefore, we need more advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual understanding for e-health and m-health management (Chen et al. 2019; Liu et al. 2019; Gefen et al. 2011; Hair et al. 2019; Shiau et al. 2019; Khan et al. 2019; Shiau and Chau, 2016). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this special issue is to present ideas, innovations, and applications of utilizing e-health and m-health technologies for improving the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of healthcare, and shed light on how the value from e-health and m-health technologies can be captured and amplified. We welcome submissions of original manuscripts that advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to the role of e-health and m-health and how it can lead to value creation in areas such as patient empowerment, elderly and chronic disease management, and epidemics management. Manuscripts must have strong implications for theory and practice. RECOMMENDED TOPICS Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Adoption, diffusion, and use of e-health and m-health • Organizational, clinical, and financial implications of e-health and m-health • E-health and m-health and their impacts on lifestyle, diets, and exercise habits • E-health and m-health and patient empowerment • E-health and m-health and epidemics management (e.g., COVID-19, Ebola) • Elderly healthcare and chronic disease management • User-generated content and its impact on healthcare practices and providers • Safety, security, and privacy of e-health and m-health • Mobile technology and patient-centered healthcare management • Applications of big data, IoT, and AI in healthcare (e.g., to combat the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus) ADVISORY EDITORIAL BOARD Rajiv Kohli, College of William & Mary Meiyun Zuo, Renmin University of China Xitong Guo, Harbin Institute of Technology Zhaohua Deng, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Shao-Jen Weng, Tunghai University SUBMISSION PROCESS Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on *E-Health and M-Health Management* on or before *December 31st, 2020*.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: IEEE COMPSAC 2021 Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 14:49:52 +0000 From: Maria Valero de Clemente <mvalero2(a)kennesaw.edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *****Apologies for multiple postings***** COMPSAC 2021 INTELLIGENT & RESILIENT COMPUTING FOR A COLLABORATIVE WORLD https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2021/ JULY 12-16, 2021 ***CALL FOR PAPERS*** Computers, Software, and Applications. It is a major international forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2021 is “Intelligent and Resilient Computing for a Collaborative World”. The global COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how we work with each other on a regular basis. Limitations on in-person interactions have caused a dramatic increase in our use and reliance on collaborative technology to enable normal communication. Family and friends have conversations via video chat, students utilize online learning instead of in-person instruction, and medical professionals treat patients remotely. These are only a few examples of how interactive software and applications have provided the foundation for continued normal day-to-day activities. But as use of these tools has rapidly accelerated, some limitations and shortcomings have also been discovered. Many components support online collaborative services, including bare-metal hardware, massive back-end storage, and high-speed, high-throughput networking, as well as the software required to administer these components efficiently. In many cases, the resilience of these underpinnings has been tested by unprecedented levels of demand, stressing systems and exposing weaknesses. As computer researchers, we see these weaknesses as opportunities to fill gaps in how software and applications are developed, utilized, and supported. How to improve the resiliency of these components across a wide range of use domains is a significant challenge we suddenly find ourselves facing. How do we design systems that are able to withstand the stress of global-scale use, and still provide robust and secure services to end-users? For over 40 years, COMPSAC has been an outlet for researchers to share and discuss innovative and novel approaches to problems such as these, and we look forward to hearing your ideas in 2021! COMPSAC 2021, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will focus on technical aspects of issues relevant to computers, software and applications, with an emphasis on topics related to improving collaboration with intelligence and resilience. The technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on emerging and important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that will address the technical challenges facing researchers and practitioners who are driving fundamental changes in intelligent systems and applications. Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges with respect to computing and collaboration raised by rapidly changing communication norms. ***SUBMISSION*** Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work, as well as industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted in the COMPSAC 2021 J1C2 & C1J2 program.
