Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: AMCIS 2020: Mini-track: Problems
in Financial Information Technology (PFIT 2020)
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 20:21:21 +0000
From: Templeton, Gary <GTempleton(a)business.msstate.edu>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org)
<aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Track: Decision Sciences and Analytics (SIGDSA)
26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug. 12-16, 2020
Salt Lake City, Utah
This mini-track solicits papers using methods to critically examine
issues hampering the emergence and understanding of financial
information technology (FIT) in research and practice. Authors are
encouraged to identify and investigate three specific problem areas in
finance that affect modern organizations: technology (“FinTech”),
analytics and messy data. What are the problems and solutions in these
areas? What can researchers do to move beyond the current state of
research and practice concerning these IS-relevant issues? In what ways
do specified problems impact important IS theories and streams, such as
the productivity paradox, IT business value, and information economics?
What are the pros and cons and comparative performance of any proposed
solutions? These are the types of questions that may be explored in this
mini-track.
We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research
addressing the conference theme, New Frontiers in Digital Convergence.
Therefore, we hold at a premium papers advancing our understanding of
organizations engaged in digital convergence for value creation. In
particular, we are interested in information technology firms since they
engage in digital convergence out of competitive necessity.
We encourage thought provoking papers utilizing the wealth of archival
data (e.g., Compustat and CRSP) accessible by many in the IS research
community. We especially value thought provoking papers pushing known
boundaries of the three mentioned FIT themes (FinTech, analytics and
messy data) in order to improve IS practice. For these reasons, we are
interested in high quality papers that illuminates and addresses the
effects of the following issues (among others) on modern organizations:
FinTech
* Finance-Technology alignment
* Resistance to change
* Barriers to innovation
* Systems scalability
* FinTech success
* Outsourcing FinTech
* Issues specific to FinTech firms
* Compliance management
* FinTech application frontiers
* Blockchain and cryptography
Financial Analytics
* Workflows
* Queries
* Data storage
* Analytical efficiency and economics
* Analytical skills
* Data security and privacy
* User-friendliness of big data
* Artificial intelligence and machine learning
* Big data analytics
* Analytical procedures
Messy Financial Data
* Non-normality
* Missing data
* Imputation
* Inflated frequencies
* Variables with low levels (i.e. binary)
* Outliers
* Negative denominators
* Measurement bias
* Illogical values

CALL FOR PAPERS for the Mini-track: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in
Information Security Research
2020 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Salt Lake City,
12-16 Aug, 2020 https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/
Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the mini-track: Moving
Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research, under the
Information Security and Privacy track of the 2020 AMCIS conference, which
will take place on 12-16 August, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Track: Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)
Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security
Research
Employees are organizations' core assets that interact with Information
Systems (IS) in order to perform their tasks; however numerous studies have
reported that employees noncompliance of IS security policies is the main
cause of security breaches within organizations. Over the last decade, the
IS research community has contributed substantial research in order to
understand the causes underlying IS security noncompliance. Most of this
research draws upon the General Deterrence Theory and Theory of Planned
Behavior theory to explain the behavior that motivates IS security
compliance. Even though the existing research has significantly contributed
to the understanding of the phenomenon of IS security noncompliance, several
studies have reported non-convergent findings. The purpose of this
mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss theoretical models,
methodologies, and empirical cases concerning employees' behaviors and
noncompliance with IS security policies.
This mini-track aims to investigate new theories and constructs that have
not been explored in IS security compliance literature. Therefore, we invite
innovative papers that explore new constructs and theories that address a
variety of issues pertaining employees' behaviors towards IS security in
organizations. The goal is to advance our understanding of the IS security
noncompliance phenomenon. Cross-cultural studies or comparative studies
highlighting differences and similarities regarding employees' behaviors
with IS security in emerging and developing countries are also welcome.
Papers must be submitted through the conference website:

CALL FOR PAPERS
CLEOPATRA 2020 1st International Workshop on Cross-lingual Event-centric
Open Analytics
in conjunction with Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2020)
May 31st or June 1st 2020, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
More Info: http://cleopatra-workshop.l3s.uni-hannover.de/index.php/cfp/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aim and Scope:
The modern society faces an unprecedented number of events that impact
countries, communities and economies around the globe, across language,
country and community borders. Recent examples include sudden or
unexpected events such as terrorist attacks, political shake-ups such as
Brexit as well as longer ongoing and evolving topics such as the
migration crisis in Europe that regularly spawn events of global
importance affecting local communities. These developments result in a
vast amount of event-centric, multilingual information available from
heterogeneously sources on the Web, in the Web of Data, within Knowledge
Graphs, in social media, inside Web archives and in the news sources.
Such event-centric information differs across sources, languages and
communities, potentially reflecting community-specific aspects,
opinions, sentiments and bias.
The theme of the CLEOPATRA workshop - event-centric multilingual
analytics - includes a variety of interdisciplinary challenges related
to analysis, interaction with and interpretation of vast amounts of
event-centric textual, semantic and visual information in multiple
languages originating from different communities. The objective of the
workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested
in the development of methods for analysing event-centric multilingual
information.
We are interested in approaches for extracting, validating,
contextualizing and interlinking of event-related information. We aim to
discuss technologies addressing the use of knowledge graphs in
conjunction with NLP methods and visual analytics aiming to analyse
event-centric information in multiple languages as well as developing
novel methods for user interaction with multilingual information.
Topics of Interest:
The topics of interest of CLEOPATRA 2020 include the aspects related to
processing multilingual event-centric information along the entire
processing pipeline, starting with information extraction, through
enrichment and user interaction to event analytics:
* Event extraction, co-reference and linking
* Relation extraction and linking
* NLP methods and tools for low-resource languages
* Sentiment analysis
* Fact verification, especially in connection with events
* Knowledge graph population
* Event representation in knowledge graphs
* Vocabularies for events
* Image-text relations for event analysis
* Event-centric Question Answering
* User interaction with multilingual data
* Human computation methods for multilingual data
* Propagation of event-centric information
* Language-specific bias
* Use of knowledge graphs in event analytics
* Use of knowledge graphs in cross-lingual and cross-cultural analytics
* Visualization techniques for event analysis
* Case studies for cross-lingual / cross-cultural event-centric analytics
Submission Guidelines:
We welcome the following types of contributions.
Short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 15 pages) research papers
Poster abstracts and system demonstrations should not exceed 4 pages
All submissions must be written in English and must be formatted
according to the Springer LNCS proceedings style. Each submission will

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.

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA August 12-16, 2020
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.
