Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2020 Final CFP Decision Agility and Market
Adaptation mini track
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2020 23:54:44 +0000

Dear colleagues,
As part of AMCIS 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah, we would like to invite
you to submit your research to the Decision Agility and Market
Adaptation mini-track, within the Digital Agility track.
Mini-track description:
Agile organizations are able to sense market discontinuities and respond
to significant shifts in core technical knowledge. The primacy of
organizational agility to IT management practice and scholarly work is
reflected in dynamic capabilities, information processing, and other
theoretical frameworks. As incumbent and new organizations seek to
become more agile, a poorly understood question pertains to the
interface between sensing and responding. There is likely a time delay
between sensing and responding and a tension underlying the use of
scarce resources such as IT. While sense and response capabilities are a
feature of agile organizations, the presence of these capabilities does
not answer the question of how long it takes for a firm to sense and
respond to new market threats or opportunities. When should IT managers
plan and when should they adopt a more dynamic, adaptive approach to
IT-related decisions? So far, empirical research on decision-making
agility remains scarce.
This mini-track welcomes both conceptual and empirical submissions using
novel theories and different methods that explore pressing issues around
decision-making agility and adaptation to market change. Suggested
topics include, but are not limited to the following:
* Data analytics and agile decision making
* Technological and organizational barriers to decision-making agility
* Negative impacts of partial or incomplete decision-making agility
* Rapid consensus building around markets threats and opportunities
* Influence of organizational inertia and risk aversion on
decision-making agility
* Cloud technologies and sensing agility
* Decision-making agility, IT leadership, and interpersonal influences
* Sensing overload versus incomplete sensing
* Consensus building and decision-making agility
* Decision making tools
* Approaches to IT agility that seek to mitigate, cope with or
capitalize on uncertainty
* Firm performance and decision-making agility

Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2020 CFP - Computational Social Science
Research through Analytics minitrack
Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2020 15:11:16 -0800
From: Au Vo <auvo1001(a)gmail.com>
To: This is the AISWorld List Server <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Dear Colleagues:
Please consider submitting a manuscript to the Computational Social
Science Research through Analytics minitrack under the AMCIS 2020 Data
Science and Analytics for Decision Support Track. AMCIS 2020 will take
place in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 12-16. The online submission
system opens on January 6 and closes on February 28. Following is a
short description of our minitrack and if you have any other questions,
do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you in Salt
Lake City in 2020.
Computational social science research has garnered much interest from
multiple disciplines through the use of massive, multi-faceted, and
authentic data. A recent trend in understanding social phenomena using
computational social science research, especially through the use of
analytics has led to many discoveries of, and confirmation of hypotheses
and theories. The interdisciplinary nature of computational social
science research is suitable for our field, for Information Systems has
the ability to demonstrate both rigor and relevance of answering social
science questions through innovative use of data analytics. As a
discipline, Information Systems enable the collection, processing, and
analyzing trace data, which are event-based records of activities of
transactions that could be found in systems across organizations and the
Internet. Therefore, our field are poised to explicate interesting and
valuable insights.
Thanks to the implosion in data analytics tools such as data mining,
machine learning, artificial intelligence, researchers have the ability
to augment understanding of existing problems and elucidate current
perplexing issues. Large-scale problems are no longer a hard-to-reach
problem, but an interesting one with a plethora of research directions.
In general, the guideline for computational research has percolated
through various disciplines via leading research outlets like Nature,
Information Systems Research, Management Information Systems Quarterly,
and Communications of the ACM have started to solicit calls in this
nascent research field to attract more researchers to work on
interesting problems and theory building from data.
This minitrack encourages research on the utilization of data to
explore, and potentially answer social phenomena. Submissions may focus
on descriptive research process, novel algorithm designs, questions
forming, new and interesting directions in computational social science.
In addition, nascent theory forming through a bottom up approach using
data is especially encouraged. Research in any domains are welcome,
including but not pertaining only to, persuasion, ethics, equality,
social benefit distribution, and humanitarian efforts.
Below is a list of recommended topics, however, other relevant topics
are also welcome:
* Algorithm designs in Computational Social Science
* Computational Social Science strategies and research processes
* The role of Information Systems in Computational Social Science
* Computational Social Science interdisciplinary research
* Computational Social Science with Big Data applications
* Computational Social Science in changing and/or influencing human
behaviors
* Ethics of Computational Social Science research on human behaviors
* Nascent theory and hypothesis forming through the use of data
(quantitative grounded theory)

Track: Organizational Transformation and Information Systems
Minitrack: Digital Transformation through Data Analytics, Artificial
Intelligence and Other Epistemic
Technologies<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Famcis2020…>
(see Minitrack #6).
Please consider submitting your paper to our minitrack on how analytics,
AI and other Epistemic Technologies transform organizing at AMCIS 2020.
This minitrack aims to explore how the use of new epistemic technologies
in organizations influence key aspects of organizing, including
processes of information processing, insight generation, decision
making, organizational structuring, and strategizing. We define
epistemic technologies as tools that play a key part in the ongoing
construction of knowledge (Anthony 2018). Such technologies include, for
example, big data analytics tools, Artificial Intelligence tools,
augmented reality applications, and technologies that leverage the
Internet of Things (IoT). The reliance of these new epistemic
technologies on data and algorithms poses unique challenges for
organizations and has given rise to several debates in the academic
community (Günther et al. 2017). The emergence of new epistemic
technologies calls for a better understanding of distinct digital
practices that are enacted as organizations actually leverage such
technologies in practice (Baiyere et al. 2017), as well as how this may
or may not allow organizations to actually create social and economic
value (Sumbal et al. 2019).
To understand how organizations may leverage such technologies requires
examinations of the processes around the information value chain (Abbasi
et al. 2016) as they take place in organizational context. The minitrack
is open to any methodology that suitably examines the phenomenon
including quantitative, qualitative as well as conceptual papers. We
highly value work that takes a longitudinal perspective and aims to
understand how organizations, and people, actually work with epistemic
technologies in practice. In doing so, scholars may rely on different
types of data and a range of (mixed) methods, such as qualitative
observations, document content analysis, and advanced analytical
techniques to model and understand people's actions and behavior.
Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary studies that bridge the
domains of organizational theory and information systems as well as
information sciences. Broadly the topics of interest include but are not
limited to the following:
* Data-driven decision-making v/s intuition-based decision-making in
organizations
* New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational
decision-making processes
* New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational
decision-making structure
* New epistemic technologies and transformation of strategizing /
strategy making processes
* New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational as
well as individual identity
* New epistemic technologies and the emergence of data science as a new
occupation
* New epistemic technologies and insights generation processes

Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration
Minitrack: Virtual Collaborations for Knowledge Sharing and Learning
Description:
Virtual collaborations can facilitate knowledge sharing and shared
understanding to support learning and training. It also provides
opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate learning.
Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals to collaborate
and acquire information in a variety of domains. These environments
present new channels to educate others on various topics, as well as
learn about a particular domain from others’ knowledge and experiences.
Organizations are utilizing virtual collaborations to support knowledge
sharing with existing and potential customers, stakeholders, partners,
and employees. However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and
performance issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual
environments.
Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the
issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and
learning. We encourage paper submissions that study the development,
use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in
learning and training contexts from a variety of perspectives (e.g.,
individual, organizational, and international). We welcome papers that
study the application of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing
and learning as well as challenge such applications. This minitrack is
open to both theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all
research methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation).
Potential topics may include (but are not limited to):
* Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations for
knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts
* Theoretical models describing the development, use, and assessment of
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and data
analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of virtual
collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along with factors
influencing these activities
* Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the implications for
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
* Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual collaborations
for knowledge sharing and learning

======================================================================

= June 9, Santiago de Compostela, Spain (Part of ECAI-2020)
======================================================================
* Submission deadline extended to March 10 (strict) *
SYNOPSIS
--------
In June 2018, the European Commission has appointed a "AI High Level
Expert Group" (AI-HLEG) to support the implementation of the European
Strategy on Artificial Intelligence. One of the first results of the
AI-HLEG has been to deliver ethics guidelines on Artificial Intelligence
(https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-consultation/guidelines).
These guidelines put forward a human-centered approach to AI, and list
seven key requirements that human-centered, trustworthy AI systems
should meet, summarized by the following headers:
1. Human agency and oversight
2. Technical robustness and safety
3. Privacy and data governance
4. Transparency
5. Diversity, non-discrimination and fairness
6. Societal and environmental wellbeing
7. Accountability
Many of today's most popular AI methods, however, fail to meet these
guidelines: making them compliant is a scientific endeavor that is as
crucial as it is challenging and stimulating. Systems based on deep
learning are a case in point: while these systems often provide
impressive results, their ability to _explain_ these results to the user
is very limited, challenging requirements 4 and 7; in most cases we lack
ways to formally _verify_ their correctness and assess their boundary
conditions, challenging requirement 2; and we don't yet have methods to
allow humans to _collaboratively_ influence or question their decisions,
challenging requirement 1. Similar criticalities are present in many
other popular AI methods.
This full day workshop will collectively address the fundamental
questions of what are the scientific and technological gaps that we have
to fill in order to make AI systems _human-centered_ in terms of the
above guidelines.
