IEEE COMPSAC 2020
Madrid, Spain
July 13-17, 2020
Driving Intelligent Transformation of the Digital World
FOR FULL CFP, PLEASE VISIT HTTPS://IEEECOMPSAC.COMPUTER.ORG/2020
COMPSAC is the IEEE Computer Society Signature Conference on 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 2020 is
“Driving Intelligent Transformation of the Digital World”.
Staying relevant in a constantly evolving digital landscape is a
challenge faced by researchers, developers, and producers in virtually
every industry and area of study. Once limited to software-enabled
devices, the ubiquity of digitally-enabled systems makes this challenge
a universal issue. Furthermore, as relevance fuels change, many
influencers will offer solutions that benefit their own priorities.
Fortunately, history has shown that the building blocks of digital
change are forged by those conducting foundational research and
development of digital systems and human interactions. Artificial
Intelligence is not new, but is much more utilized in everyday computing
now that data and processing resources are more economically viable,
hence widely available. The opportunity to drive the use of this
powerful tool in transforming the digital world is yours. Will your
results help define the path ahead, or will you relegate those decisions
to those with different priorities for utilizing intelligence in digital
systems? COMPSAC has been and continues to be a highly respected venue
for the dissemination of key research on computer and software systems
and applications, and has influenced fundamental developments in these
fields for over 40 years. COMPSAC 2020 is your opportunity to add your
mark to this ongoing journey, and we highly encourage your submission!
COMPSAC 2020, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will
focus on technical aspects of issues relevant to intelligent
transformation of the digital world. 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 for a society whose members must continue to learn to live,
work, and play in the environments the technologies produce.
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
2020 J1C2 & C1J2 program. All submissions must adhere to IEEE Publishing
Policies, and will be vetted through the IEEE CrossCheck portal.
*****PAPER FORMATS*****
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 for COMPSAC 2020 J1C2 & C1J2
publication schemes. In accordance with IEEE policy, submitted

Smart and Connected Health (SCH) Symposium @ COMPSAC 2020, Madrid, Spain;
Paper Submissions Due: February 13, 2020
https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2020/sch/
The goal of the Smart and Connected Health (SCH) symposium is to provide
an international forum connecting data, people and systems towards the
development and integration of innovative computer, software and
applications supporting the transformation of health and medicine.
Advances in communications, computer, and medical technology have
facilitated the practice of personalized health, which utilizes sensory
computational communication systems to support improved and more
personalized healthcare and healthy lifestyle choices. The proliferation
of broadband wireless services, along with more powerful and convenient
handheld devices, is helping to introduce real-time monitoring and
guidance for a wide array of patients. Research community and industry
are now connecting medical care with technology developers, vendors of
wireless and sensing hardware systems, network service providers, and
data management communities.
The symposium encourages research and breakthrough ideas in areas of
smart and connected health such as networking, pervasive computing,
analytics, sensor integration, privacy and security, socio-behavioral
models, and cognitive processes and system and process modeling. The
forum will increase more awareness of the constraints arising from
clinical and medical needs, barriers to change, heterogeneity of data,
semantic mismatch and limitations of current cyber-physical systems and
an aging population.
The SCH symposium seeks inter-disciplinary collaborative research that
lead to new fundamental insights; and encourages empirical validation of
new concepts through research prototypes, ranging from specific
components to entire systems. It will open collaborations between
academic, industry, and other organizations to establish better linkages
between fundamental science, medicine and healthcare practice and
technology development, deployment and use.

SUBMISSIONS:
----------- --
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that
concerns the topics mentioned above and all other topics related to
business process modeling, development and support. Three categories of
submissions are welcome:
(1) Full research papers (technical papers or empirical evaluation
papers) should report results in an advanced stage, including at least
partial evaluation.
(2) Experience reports present work completed or being completed in the
context of a real-life organization. The work should have some practical
goal, and should essentially present lessons learnt that can be
applicable in a generalized context.
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “BPM meets data”; should
address completely new research positions or approaches, demonstrating
the shortcomings of current methods, tools, meta-models, etc.
Full papers with up to 15 pages long or short papers with up to 8 pages
can be submitted to these categories. The work must be unpublished and
must not be under review elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Submissions should use
the Springer LNBIP/LNCS formatting templates. Submissions should follow
the guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines and adhere to the
formatting instructions at https://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Please submit your paper in PDF format through the conference management
system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2020.
Note that the topic theme “BPM meets data” is suggested to make this
year’s edition of BPMDS a special forum for this theme, however, it is
mandatory for “idea paper” submissions only.
------------
PUBLICATIONS:
------------
Accepted submissions will be presented during the working conference,
and full papers will be published in a Springer LNBIP proceedings volume
(joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information
Systems Modeling”, as the eleven previous years (LNBIP volumes 29, 50,

----------------------
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
----------------------
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business
processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of
information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued
interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the
success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to
a working conference. The BPMDS series has produced twenty-one events
from 1998 to 2020. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working
conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series are:
1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners
in the areas of business development, and business applications
(software) development.
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations.
3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of
an international journal.

Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS CALL FOR PAPERS MINITRACK: Information
Security Risks to Research
Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2020 14:27:06 -0500
From: James N. Smith <jnsmith(a)bluereefgroup.com>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
CFP Mini-Track: Information Security Risks to Research
AMCIS 2020
Salt Lake City, Utah, August 12-16 2020
https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org
We kindly invite you to submit your manuscript to the AMCIS 2020
mini-track Information Security Risks to Research. The mini-track is
under the Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC) track.
Mini-track Description
Academic researchers around the world are increasingly becoming targets
for information security threat actors, including state-sponsored
espionage targeting research programs. These threats have been
demonstrated to be highly persistent and targeted. Enterprise IT and
information security at many universities are focused on protecting core
functions of the university and may not be focused on tailored
protection for specific research groups.
This mini-track invites the authors to submit papers that address
relevant issues and concerns related to the intersection of academic
research and information security threats.
Topic areas may focus on, but are not limited to:
• What are the most serious cybersecurity issues currently encountered
by universities and what can be done about these issues? What are the
best practices to recognize, protect, detect and respond to threats to
academic research?
• The dimensions of research that expose researchers to increased
information security threats, e.g. intellectual property development,
research topicality, national origin, funding source, and collaboration
networks.
• The nature of the threat actors targeting academic researchers; e.g.
nation state advanced persistent threat (APT) actors, criminal actors,
economically driven corporate espionage and political threat actors.
• Fit and misfit between the threat posed to researchers and the
protection provided by enterprise IT and information security at
universities, including:
Usable security in academia
Access control and authorization
Cyber security awareness training
Organizational and institutional network structures
• Balancing an open culture of academic research vs. protecting valuable
intellectual property.

-- FCA4AI (Eighth Edition) --
``What can FCA do for Artificial
Intelligence?''
co-located with ECAI 2020, Santiago de
Compostela, Spain
June 8 or 9 2020
http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2020
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Information.
The preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (from ECAI 2012 until
IJCAI 2019) showed that many researchers working in Artificial
Intelligence are indeed interested by powerful techniques for
classification and data mining provided by Formal Concept Analysis.
Again, we have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in
Santiago de Compostela, co-located with the ECAI 2020 Conference.
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory
aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a
concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications and
association rules) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge
processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning,
ontology engineering as well as information retrieval, recommendation,
social network analysis and text processing. Thus, there are many
``natural links'' between FCA and AI.
Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around
FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending
the possibilities of plain FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work
on pattern structures and relational context analysis, as well as on
hybridization with other formalisms. These extensions are aimed at
allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, for
solving complex problems in data analysis, classification, knowledge
processing... While the capabilities of FCA are extended, new
possibilities are arising in the framework of FCA.
As usual, the FCA4AI workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues, and
in particular:
- How can FCA support AI activities in knowledge discovery, knowledge
representation and reasoning, machine learning, natural language
processing...
- By contrast, how the current developments in AI can be integrated
within FCA to help AI researchers to solve complex problems in their domain.
TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to:
- Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern
structures, relational structures.
- Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules,
itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, dimensionality
reduction, classification, clustering, and biclustering.
- Pattern mining, subgroup discovery, exceptional model mining,
interestingness measures, MDL-based approaches in data mining.
- Machine learning and hybridization: neural networks, random forests,
SVM, and combination of classifiers with FCA.
- Knowledge engineering, knowledge representation and reasoning, and
ontology engineering.
- Scalable and distributed algorithms for FCA and artificial
intelligence, and for mining big data.
- AI tasks based on FCA: information retrieval, recommendation, social
network analysis, data visualization and navigation, pattern recognition...
- Practical applications in agronomy, biology, chemistry, finance,
manufacturing, medicine...
The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a
better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: March 23 2020
Notification to authors: April 10 2020
Final version: April 30 2020
Workshop: June 8 or 9 2020
SUBMISSION DETAILS:
The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS style.
Submissions can be:
- technical papers not exceeding 12 pages,
- system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not
exceeding 6 pages.
