Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific program is independently established by the workshop organizers. They will be responsible for advertising the workshop and reviewing and selecting the contributions. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their application in information science or other areas. Together, the JOWO workshops can address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats. Previous JOWO editions were held as independent events in 2019 in Graz (Austria), in 2017 in Bolzano (Italy), and in conjunction with FOIS 2018 in Cape Town (South Africa), with FOIS 2016 in Annecy (France), and at IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires (Argentina). As in earlier years, all contributions to JOWO workshops will be published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, as part of the new IAOA series (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html). We welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners interested in the theory, practice, development and/or application of ontologies and related areas are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. We encourage several forms and length of workshops (the list is non-exhaustive): - workshops that focus on an established research area, including continuations of workshops that were held in the past; - workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications, or on open research questions and challenges; - workshops that aim to create cross-disciplinary research fostering exchange of ideas between groups otherwise mostly disconnected. SUBMISSION Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be no more than 2 pages in length, and must contain the following information: - title of the workshop/tutorial; - select one primary conference affiliation: EKAW, FOIS, or ICBO (for reviewing and scheduling purposes; a brief description of each conference can be found below); - names of the workshop/tutorial organizers; - brief description of experience in workshop/tutorial organization; - description of the workshop/tutorial topic; - brief description of the expected audience (please give an estimate of the expected number of participants and their background and interests, if applicable please relate this to participation in similar prior events); - intended duration of the workshop (between half a day and a full day); - timeline for the workshop (submission dates, notification dates), taking into account the proposed "important dates" below. Workshop proposals should be sent to jowo.steering(a)gmail.com by February 15, 2020. EVALUATION Submissions of workshop proposals will be evaluated by the workshop chairs of JOWO 2020 using the following criteria: - Scientific relevance and utility to attendees; - Quality of the proposal; - Likelihood of success of the workshop; - Overlap and complementarity with other workshops. IMPORTANT DATES - February 15, 2020 – Workshop proposal submission deadline - March 1, 2020 – Workshop acceptance notification - March 16, 2020 – 1st call for papers to be distributed by workshop organizers - September 14-20, 2020 – Workshops in Bolzano in conjunction with EKAW, FOIS and ICBO FURTHER INQUIRIES In case of further questions please contact jowo.steering(a)gmail.com DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF EKAW, ICBO, AND FOIS The International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW) is concerned with all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modelling and managing knowledge, as well its role in the construction of knowledge-intensive systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, etc. The focus of EKAW 2020 will be “Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering”. EKAW workshops should provide an informal setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. EKAW tutorials should enable attendees to appreciate, evaluate, or utilize relevant trends, methods, tools, models, etc. The International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO) is a premier annual conference series that brings together researchers, students and professionals involved in the development and application of ontologies in all areas of biology, medicine, diseases, human health, genome biology, environment, biomes, nutrition, food, plants, agriculture and others. ICBO workshops provide the opportunity to discuss and progress a variety of issues at the forefront of biomedical ontologies and to build communities around specific topic areas. ICBO tutorials should provide a rich forum for education, training and dissemination to advance the next generation of biomedical ontologists and share knowledge about infrastructure, standards and platforms for advanced tooling. The International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information System (FOIS) is a biennial conference, which is dedicated to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to specific domains. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA). Given its scope and since FOIS is a single track conference, presentations at FOIS typically cover a broad range of subjects. FOIS workshops complement the main conference by providing a venue for presentations and discussions on a particular subject area. FOIS tutorials should provide an introduction to methods, theories, standards, infrastructure or tools that are of interest to FOIS participants. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Beard (Iowa State University) jwbeard(a)iastate.edu<mailto:jwbeard@iastate.edu> Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the identification, specification, and implementation of an information technology solution. The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems and, as such, is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline, including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital technologies. The SIGSAND track provides a forum for discussing research related to systems development tools, methodologies and other activities throughout the systems development life cycle (SDLC). This includes requirements determination, modeling techniques and languages, agile systems development practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user involvement in systems development, open source development, design of systems architecture, and other technical and organizational issues in systems development. Topics include, but are not limited to: − Systems Analysis and Design: Methodologies and Design Processes − Systems Analysis and Design: Empirical Evaluations, Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages − Systems Analysis and Design: Requirements Elicitation, Modeling, and Validation − Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises − Micro-service-based Development − Contemporary Issues in Agile Development − Strategic Software Management: Issues, Experiences, and Theory − Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development − User Participation and Involvement in Information Systems Development − Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use (e.g., adoption, information quality) − Application of SAND concepts and principles beyond IS development (e.g., in data analytics) − Organizational Issues in Systems Analysis and Design General Systems Analysis and Design − New and Emerging SAND Tools and Approaches Manuscripts can be submitted for the broad Systems Analysis and Design track, or they can be submitted to a more focused mini-track within the SAND track. Two more focused mini-tracks that are a part of the Systems Analysis and Design Track are: SIGSAND Minitrack 1: Contemporary Issues in DevOps and Agile Development Minitrack Chairs: Sridhar Nerur (snerur(a)exchange.uta.edu) Venugopal Balijepally (balijepa(a)oakland.edu) 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. SIGSAND Minitrack 2: Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods, Techniques, and Tools Minitrack Chairs: Dominik Bork (dominik.bork(a)univie.ac.at) John Erickson (johnerickson(a)unomaha.edu) Xin Tan (xtan(a)fdu.edu) Keng Siau (siauk(a)mst.edu) This minitrack recognizes the important role modeling languages, methodologies, methods, and tools play in SAND. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the areas of modelling language development, use, modification, and evaluation. We are particularly interested in papers that combine conceptual modelling with emerging trends like Artificial Intelligence and in pieces that target the changing role modelling and models can take now and in future. An objective of this minitrack is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field while also considering recent developments in domain-specific conceptual modelling. We welcome empirical, conceptual, theoretical, and technical pieces, and are open to all research methods. The most promising submissions will be invited for a fast-track to the Journal of Database Management or Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling. Please let us know if you have any questions. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CHI2020 Workshop - Final Call for 3rd Body as Starting Point: Exploring Inbodied Interaction Themes Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 16:29:32 +0000 From: Aaron William Tabor <Aaron.Tabor(a)unb.ca> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CHI2020 - Sunday, April 26 - short position papers due Feb 11 Dear colleagues, we invite you to year three of: Body as Starting Point: Exploring Inbodied Interaction Themes on SUNDAY, APRIL 26 at CHI2020, Honolulu, Hawaii - https://wellthlab.soton.ac.uk/inbodied3/ Inbodied Interaction aims to align the design of interactive technology with an understanding of our body’s internal processes and how they influence performance. What would these systems look like? Imagine how we might design HCI tools and interventions that: - Target performance rather than prevention-only focused health and wellness - Aim to promote continual adaptation and self-awareness through minimal data doses instead of outsourcing to constant/pervasive data tracking - Go beyond the simple good vs. bad dichotomy often framed around foods / exercises / behaviors To design these systems, it really helps to know a few things about how we work under the hood, as the physio-neuro-electro-chemical social systems we are. Come to this workshop to contribute your knowledge, build new ideas and skills, and explore this new area of HCI where we take the body as a starting point. Visit our website to learn more and register: https://wellthlab.soton.ac.uk/inbodied3/ We look forward to seeing you.

Fwd: [AISWorld] SAICSIT 2020 Conference - Call for papers
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SAICSIT 2020 Conference - Call for papers Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 09:09:22 +0200 From: Jan Kroeze <jan.kroeze(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear AISWorld readers SAICSIT 2020 - CALL FOR PAPERS ‘Interfacing with Digital Africa’ www.saicsit2020.org.za Venue: Christel House, Cape Town, South Africa Conference dates: 14-16 September 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS The Faculty of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology is pleased to announce the hosting of the 2020 South African Institute for Computer Scientists and Information Technologists (SAICSIT) conference. It will take place from the 14th to the 16th of September at Christel House in Ottery, Cape Town. The theme is 'Interfacing with Digital Africa'. With the rapid increase of technology-for-development related research, interfacing can enable or constrain lines of communication. As such, academic researchers in Africa enjoy an important responsibility in directing the flows of novel research in IS and CS. Both Africanisation and the decolonial turn point to the importance of developing knowledge from African contexts. This can be interpreted as an extension of information that encapsulates relevance and context for the benefit of all its citizenry. The development of local knowledge requires an understanding of the context in which IS/CS solutions are to be applied by incorporating the four dimensions of digital technology (computing, connectivity, content and capacity). Researchers in Africa enjoy special opportunities for interfacing with a diverse range of perspectives and realities by engaging these four dimensions and closing related gaps in literature. Such research may develop into unique contributions that range from developing novel theoretical knowledge to trialling IS/CS innovations. In contrast, local researchers might also face severe constraints that mitigate against interfacing outside the dominant academic understanding of the Global North or the needs of 'universal' software development and its users. Interfacing with Digital Africa seeks to address how the work of computer science and information technology researchers interfaces with unique opportunities and challenges on the continent. It also aims to spotlight the gaps and challenges for our research community’s exploration of under-resourced settings and marginalised communities outside the defaults of 'standard' computing and information technology environments. The conference programme will include full paper sessions, plenary keynote addresses, panel discussions, and workshops. The first day (Monday 14 September 2020) will be devoted to workshops, an AISSAC Seminar, and a Postgraduate Symposium. The main conference will be held from Tuesday 15 September to Wednesday 16 September 2020. We hereby invite submissions for empirical research papers, conceptual papers, panel proposals, workshop proposals or postgraduate abstracts. Topical questions to address may include: 1. What progress are software developers making in Southern Africa to interface with African contexts and users? 2. How is computer science and information technology research responding to African realities more broadly? 3. What are the gaps in African CS and IS research and what constraints do these suggest? 4. How are African solutions for African problems meeting the world? 5. What are the enablers and constraints that influence interface design for Africans? 6. How are developers catering for previously neglected communities through custom interfaces and African language libraries? 7. How might software development for marginalised, African communities be developed as sustainable projects? 8. Among many African IT start-ups, could any grow into high performing technology companies like the FAANGs? 9. How is African computer science and information technology research rebalancing 'global' understandings developed in very different settings? 10. How can transdisciplinary research contribute to understanding of IS and CS dynamics in African contexts? 11. What are the underlying theories and philosophies of Africanisation in the technology domain? IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submission (all papers): 11 May 2020 Notification of acceptance (papers): 15 June 2020 Deadline for M&D submissions: 29 June 2020 Registration deadline (papers): 13 July 2020 Deadline for M&D acceptance: 3 August 2020 Registration deadline (M&D): 24 August 2020 Conference: 14-16 September 2020 SUBMISSIONS All submissions will be peer-reviewed by a national and international panel of experts. English is the official conference language. Submissions in all categories must follow the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series prescribed format. The template and guidelines for papers are located on the website at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template For all tracks, only anonymised PDF files must be submitted for review.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of Internet Research on Interpretable AI-enabled Online Behavior Analytics (Li, Mengxiang)
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of Internet Research on Interpretable AI-enabled Online Behavior Analytics (Li, Mengxiang) Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 06:05:39 +0000 From: Mengxiang Li <mengxiang.li85(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special issue call for papers from Internet Research Guest Editors Wei Xu, Renmin University of China, Email: weixu(a)ruc.edu.cn Jianshan Sun, Hefei University of Technology Email: sunjs9413(a)hfut.edu.cn Mengxiang Li, Hong Kong Baptist University Email: mengxiangli(a)hkbu.edu.hk Overview of Special Issue In the era of big data, the proliferation of online behavior data enables the development of profound implications for both the scholars and practitioners alike in enhancing the effectiveness of business operations. Online behavior data varies in forms and quantities, thus signifying the importance of the application of advanced analytics approach to process data and generate meaningful results. As one of the promising advanced analytical techniques, AI-enabled analytics with big data has gained notable attention in various fields. However, there is still a lack of research in examining interpretable AI-enabled data analytics in the extant literature. Thus, it is imperative to investigate the interpretable AI-enabled online behavior analytics because data analytics without creating an interpretable model/value/approach are difficult to make significant contributions and actionable implications to the field. Interpretable AI-enabled online behavior analytics should make direct benefits (Lau et al., 2018) or provide competitive advantages (Timoshenko and Hauser, 2019) to the stakeholders. The call for research on interpretable AI and the related application has also been echoed in other fields such as computer science (Rudin, 2019), and healthcare (Jia et al., 2019). Therefore, the aim of this special issue is to deepen and broaden the current understanding of the embedded business value of the interpretable AI-enable analytics with online behavior data. The focus is on how the AI-enabled online behavior analytic methods are applied for supporting business operations, as well as how to demonstrate the real impact of AI-enabled online behavior analytics. We are interested in interpretable AI-enabled online behavior analytics in various contexts (e.g. online social media, e-commerce, and digital government), and its main impact (e.g., users’ reactions, customers’ experience, and government policy). All theoretical and empirical (both qualitative & quantitative) approaches are equally appreciated, and we particularly welcome multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions that cover different issues relevant to management, marketing, finance, and communication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • The benefits and challenges of interpretable AI on online behavior analytics • The impact of online behavior analytics on user decision making • The impact of online behavior analytics on customers’ experience • The impact of online behavior analytics on social governance • The impact of online behavior analytics on business innovation • The dark side of using interpretable AI on online behavior analytics • The efficiency and effectiveness of interpretable AI-enabled online behavior analytics • The particular technologies (e.g., blockchain, big data, deep learning) and online behavior analytics • Business redesign through interpretable AI-enabled online behavior analytics • Interpretable AI-based online behavior prediction • Interpretable AI-based online recommendation • Multimodal-based online behavior analytics • Social media analytics for online behavior Deadline and Submission Details *** We recommend prospective author(s) submit abstract prior to the full paper submission deadline. The submission of abstract is fully optional, and it will not affect editorial decisions afterward. *** Abstract Submission: February 1st, 2020 (optional) Abstract Notification: March 1st, 2020 (optional) Full Paper Submission: June 1st, 2020 Author Notification: August 1st, 2020 Revised Version: October 1st, 2020 Final Notification: November 1st, 2020 Camera Ready Version: December 1st, 2020 Abstract format and submission If the prospective author(s) intend to submit abstract to the guest editor(s), they shall provide the following items in the abstract: title, author(s), 1-page synopsis of the content of the article including methodology and results.

Fwd: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue CFP: Technology and Social Inclusion
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue CFP: Technology and Social Inclusion Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 05:05:53 +0000 From: Windeler, Jaime (windeljb) <windeljb(a)ucmail.uc.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ACCESS THE FULL CFP AT: https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/SocialInclusionSI.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Special Issue Call for Participation: Technology and Social Inclusion: Building a dialectic on the role of technology in inclusion and exclusion from societies, organizations, economies, and academe DEADLINE: 15 March 2021 GUEST EDITORS Arlene Bailey, University of the West Indies Michelle Carter, University of Alabama Jason Thatcher, University of Alabama Cathy Urquhart, Manchester Metropolitan University Jaime Windeler, University of Cincinnati CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Social inclusion-the ability to participate fully in one's social world-presents tremendous challenges in our increasingly digital world and for the IS field. This special issue represents a rallying cry to the IS community; we call for research that theorizes about social inclusion and the critical role of information systems in enabling or preventing individuals and social groups from participating in the societies in which they are embedded. For more detail on the background and topics of interest, see: https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/SocialInclusionSI.pdf SUBMISSION PARAMETERS We seek new theories and explanations for how ICT enables exclusion and affords opportunities for inclusion. We encourage authors to frame, theorize, and when possible, measure concepts relating to inclusion/exclusion. Including demographic moderators in existing models and offering "social inclusion explanations" for these differences is not sufficient because this approach is largely atheoretical (Trauth 2013). A social inclusion lens should pervade the research--driving the research questions, theory, model development, and explanation of findings. We particularly emphasize the need for social inclusion theories--imported or indigenous--that provide a strong grounding for research studies. We invite researchers who do not consider themselves "social inclusion scholars" to apply a social inclusion lens to their area of expertise. As we extend this invitation, we also offer an assurance that we understand the difficulty of studying social inclusion and recognize the perceived risks surrounding the topic area: fear of saying the wrong thing, of unintentionally offending an audience or reviewer, or not having a "right" to speak about certain topics because one does not come from the context of study. This special issue represents the intentional creation of space for difficult conversations with a team of open-minded editors and reviewers equipped to mediate such conversations. We welcome submissions from various research traditions, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and design science research. We will consider four types of articles: 1. Research Articles, i.e., traditional empirical scholarly work 2. Review/Theory Articles, i.e., development of new theory that may not be empirically tested and/or synthesis of an area of research. See JAIS's manuscript categories page for more detail: https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/authorinfo.html 3. Editorials/Issues and Opinions, i.e., identifying opportunities for future work and/or critiques of current research 4. Policy Papers, i.e., frameworks based on an analysis of evidence that offer prescriptive comments on how to create a more socially inclusive, equitable society related to IS/IT Please contact the editors if you are not sure whether your research falls in the scope of the call. In the spirit of inclusion, we will consider any submission that examines diversity and inclusion challenges in the IS field, from any perspective, and then apply the high editorial standards of JAIS.

Teo, National University of Singapore Eileen Trauth, Pennsylvania State University Manuel Wiesche, TU Dortmund University SUBMISSION PROCESS This special issue aims to support the further development of research on social inclusion, and it is anticipated that there may be a large number of submissions. Prior to the submission deadline of 15 March 2021, there is an optional pre-submission feedback process. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit a 1-page abstract by 30 May 2020. Papers that fit with the goals of the special issue will be asked to submit a 5-8 page extended abstract for feedback and will be invited to participate in a JAIS Special Issue Paper Development Workshop at ICIS 2020. Extended abstracts (5 - 8 pages) should be submitted by 1 December 2020 for circulation among participants and discussion at round tables at the Workshop at ICIS 2020. While participation in the pre-submission feedback process is optional, it is nevertheless strongly encouraged as it enables a dialogue between authors and editors and helps shape the paper. If authors cannot attend the workshop, one-on-one meetings with editors at AIS conferences or via Skype may be possible, depending on availability. OPTIONAL PRE-SUBMISSION FEEDBACK TIMELINE 30 May 2020 - 1-page abstracts due 01 August 2020 - Notifications of invitation to workshop 01 December 2020 - Extended abstracts due TBD December 2020 - ICIS research development workshop SUBMISSION/REVISION TIMELINE 15 March 2021 - Submissions due 19 July 2021 - First round decisions made 15 November 2021 - 1st Revision due 14 March 2022 - Second round decision made 18 July 2022 - 2nd Revision due 14 November 2022 - Final decisions rendered Address all communication, including abstract and manuscript submissions to: JAISinclusion(a)gmail.com<mailto:JAISinclusion@gmail.com> _________________________________ Jaime Windeler, PhD Associate Professor of Information Systems Carl H.
