by Gustaf Neumann 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] ACM RecSys 2020 4th Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions and COVID Update Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2020 18:01:51 +0000 From: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br Reply-To: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its physical component and go fully virtual. To support authors through these stressful times, deadlines are extended. The ACM RecSys 2020 Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. We invite students who feel that they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their work to apply for this unique opportunity, which will allow them to share their work with their peers as well as with senior researchers in the field. The strongest candidates will be those who have made some research progress, but who are not so far along that they can no longer make changes in their research plans. Typically, this means that they have defined their topic and have completed some research, but still have at least a year of research remaining before completing a dissertation (in many universities this corresponds to the dissertation proposal stage). The feedback from attendees in previous years has been very positive and the Doctoral Symposium has been considered very useful in providing research guidance. The symposium has the following objectives: 1. Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students’ current research and guidance on future research directions. 2. Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution. 3. Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. 4. Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events. Student participants will have their extended abstracts published in the conference proceedings. They will also present a poster of their work at the conference. SYMPOSIUM FORMAT AND PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS Participants are expected to attend the entire symposium, including the dinner, and are also expected to attend the ACM RecSys 2020 conference. Accepted participants will be considered for travel support for the RecSys 2020 conference directly from the ACM. The format of the symposium will be primarily student presentations supplemented by one or two panel sessions to provide advice and Q&A opportunities with senior researchers in the field. Student presentations will be structured to provide maximum feedback. In particular: * Presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by 20-25 minutes for feedback and discussion. * Two of the symposium faculty will be assigned to provide "primary" feedback for each presenter; following this primary feedback there will be a period of open feedback from all participants. * Students will be expected to take notes for another participant so that each of you can focus on interacting during the discussion surrounding your presentation. * During the main conference, students will also present their dissertation work and plans in the form of a poster presentation. Being accepted into the symposium is an honor, and involves a commitment to giving and receiving thoughtful commentary with an eye towards shaping the field and upcoming participants in the research area. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Applications are invited from graduate students pursuing a PhD project who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their doctoral research by a panel of established researchers. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Application. Applications should include the following: 1. An extended abstract (see below). 2. A curriculum vitae. 3. A one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation, including questions regarding your dissertation that you would like to ask your symposium mentors. 4. A brief letter of recommendation from your doctoral advisor, focused on how your participation in the doctoral symposium will benefit your dissertation research. Submit these four items in a single PDF file to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on June 15th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the submission deadline. Extended Abstract. Your extended abstract will be evaluated with regard to: 1. Originality of the work with respect to current concepts and techniques (provide relevant citations). 2. Importance of the work with respect to fundamental issues in recommender systems (clearly identify the problems you are trying to solve). 3. Rigor and validity of claims, argumentation, methodology, results, and interpretations. 4. Clarity and persuasiveness of expression. Please write your extended abstract to the same quality standards as a regular RecSys submission. Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. Following the new ACM publication workflow, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. The maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your submission using the Submission Template (Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is required at this point. * LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Master Article Template - LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the "manuscript" option with the \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command to generate the output in a single-column format which is required for review. Please see the LaTeX documentation and ACM's LaTeX best practices guide for further instructions. To ensure 100% compatibility with The ACM Publishing System (TAPS), please restrict the use of packages to the whitelist of approved LaTeX packages. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide "alt text" (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author as well as it broadens the reader base for the author's work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. Accepted extended abstracts will be later submitted to ACM's new production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. Confidentiality. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until two weeks prior to the start of the conference. Submissions should contain no information or materials that are proprietary at publication time. SELECTION CRITERIA To provide maximum feedback to each student, participation in the doctoral symposium is limited. Selection is based on two broad criteria: * Value of the symposium to the student: * The degree to which the applicant is positioned to benefit from participation, including the student’s position in the doctoral process (the greatest benefit is for students with a developed research idea but much of the work yet undone). * The degree to which the student may otherwise lack access to a diverse set of feedback and input on his or her research plans (e.g., availability of local experts and advisors). * Value of the student’s participation to other students. * The quality of the extended abstract (as identified above), both as a model of excellent research and as an indication of the student’s potential in the field. * Diversity of participation, including diversity by institution, country, research topic and approach, and demographics. In general we will limit participation to one or two students per institution, depending on the number of applicants. * Evidence that the student will be an effective and active participant, providing feedback to others and helping to build a research network. APPLICATION CHECKLIST Well in advance of the deadline: 1. Write an extended abstract according to the formatting instructions above. The maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Note that the student is the sole author of the abstract. Advisor(s) can be thanked in the acknowledgments. 2. Write a curriculum vitae. 3. Write a one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation. 4. Obtain a letter of recommendation from your advisor. By the deadline (June 15th, 2020, 23:59 AoE): 1. Submit items 1-4 above in a single PDF file to PCS. SUPPORT Accepted students will receive free registration to RecSys 2020. Students receiving support will be requested to be part of the student volunteer cohort. IMPORTANT DATES * Doctoral symposium submission deadline: June 15th, 2020 * Doctoral symposium submission notification: July 13th, 2020 * Camera-ready abstract deadline: July 27th, 2020 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers: CSCW in Manufacturing and Industry Settings (JCSCW) Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 10:08:28 +0000 From: Ludwig, Thomas, Jun.-Prof. Dr. <thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de> Reply-To: Ludwig, Thomas, Jun.-Prof. Dr. <thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de> To: specialissue(a)cscw-research.com <specialissue(a)cscw-research.com> /[apologies for cross-posting]/ ** Call for papers for a special issue on: ** *Cooperation on the Shoopfloor: CSCW in Manufacturing and Industry Settings* (A Special Issue of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices, https://www.springer.com/journal/10606) Guest Editors: Thomas Ludwig (University of Siegen), Myriam Lewkowicz (Troyes University of Technology), Doris Aschenbrenner (Delft University), Torkil Clemmensen (Copenhagen Business School) Website: http://industry.cscw-research.com/ <http://industry.cscw-research.com/> [Detailed information] This special issue takes steps towards examining how workers, tasks, structures, and technologies have changed within manufacturing settings within the last years. We invite participants from a diversity of disciplines and perspectives to contribute with insights about cooperation on the shopfloor and the impact of novel manufacturing technologies within these settings. We aim to deepen our understanding of actual work practices and relations in contexts such as manufacturing, knowledge-intense production processes and related practices such as engineering or work preparation. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): •Skills, qualifications and competences of human workers. What are the novel digitalization skills that workers need to in order to shape their work processes? How to ensure that ‘operator 4.0’ employees’ experiences do become not worse, but better than before? •Tools, processes, services and architectures for supporting the cooperation on the shopfloor: What are the tools, services and architectural infrastructures for supporting the work and conflicts in manufacturing settings? What are the impacts of cyber-physical systems on cooperation? What are the characteristics of tools that support articulation work and coordination processes during work practices? •Social and organizational factors influencing cooperation issues: Work within industry settings heavily relies on social and organizational structures. What are the social and organizational aspects that foster cooperation in industry? How is labor distributed? How could social and organizational aspects shape the cooperation on the shopfloor? How do workers interact with and collaborate with semi-autonomous systems? •On the one hand, emerging technology is intended to simplify work, but on the other hand, there are a multitude of knowledge-intensive work processes which can be traced back to rising productivity requirements and increasing product complexity. Therefore, the question of an adequate support of knowledge-intensive work and the technical design of this support arises: What are suitable tools to manage knowledge and share expertise? How can the experience of experts be processed and which tools can be used? •Methodological challenges and innovative methodologies: Design- and technology-oriented research and its prototypes are often developed with the employees for the actual workflows of the shop floor. However, the evaluation of the prototypes is difficult, as machines and thus capital are lost in case of errors. How can the claim between participatory design with iterative steps and the expectation of a finished product be met? All contributions will be rigorously peer reviewed to the usual exacting standards of JCSCW. Further information, including JCSCW submission procedures and advice on formatting and preparing manuscripts, can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/10606, Manuscripts are submitted via the online manuscript system at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu/[SI: Cooperation on the shopfloor] Important dates: •Submissions due: 30 September 2020 •Reviews due: 31 December 2020 •Notification to authors: 9 January 2021 •Revised version due: 1 March 2021 Contact: specialissue(a)cscw-research.com <mailto:specialissue@cscw-research.com> Best regards (on behalf of all editors), Thomas Ludwig. -- Prof. Dr. Thomas Ludwig Professor for Cyber-Physical Systems University of Siegen, Institute for Information Systems Kohlbettstr. 15, 57072 Siegen, Room US-D 112 Phone: +49 271 740 4763 Mobile Phone: +49 176 62656570 E-Mail: thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de <mailto:thomas.ludwig@uni-siegen.de> Web: http://www.cps.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de <http://www.cps.wineme.fb5.uni-siegen.de/> -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

04 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CFP - VISSOFT 2020: 8th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2020 00:32:40 +0200 From: David Baum <david.baum(a)uni-leipzig.de> Reply-To: David Baum <david.baum(a)uni-leipzig.de> Organization: Universität Leipzig To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu ====================================== 8th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2020) September 28-29, 2020, Adelaide, Australia http://vissoft20.dcc.uchile.cl/ ====================================== CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development practices, evolution, structure, and software runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and data science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to the visualization of software. VISSOFT 2020, co-held with ICSME 2020, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical studies, applications, case studies, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. ====================================== TOPICS OF INTEREST - Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks such as StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data. - Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, program comprehension, software testing, and debugging. - Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization. - Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education. - Integration of software visualization tools with development environments. - Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye tracking. - Industrial experience with using software visualization. - Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented/mixed reality, gamification, and artificial intelligence. - Analytical approaches to understand software-related aspects based on data science concepts. We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tool Demonstrations (TD) track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. ====================================== SUBMISSION TYPES **Technical papers**: A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, otherwise a URL to the video should be provided. After the notification, authors can also submit an artifact (tool, data, model, etc.) Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2020 **NIER/TD Track**: The NIER/TD Track of VISSOFT accepts two types of contributions: New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) and Tool Demonstrations (TD). Both NIER and TD contributions have a page limit of 5 (including bibliography). NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors are encouraged to include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas. A sound evaluation is not required for NIER contributions. One of the goals of the NIER Track is to foster collaboration among different research groups. Tool Demonstrations describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on the architecture of the tool or its use to gain new insights. During the conference, we will organize an informal tool demonstration session where authors of TD papers are requested to demonstrate their tools. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to show the interaction possibilities offered by the tool. ====================================== IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: June 22, 2020 Technical paper submission: June 26, 2020 NIER/TD paper submission: June 26, 2020 Artifact submission: August 1, 2020 Author notification: July 24, 2020 Camera-Ready: August 7, 2020 Conference date: September 28-29, 2020 ====================================== **Statement on COVID-19 (Coronavirus)** The VISSOFT Organizing Committee is aware of the current COVID-19 situation. At this time, the conference is planned to take place as scheduled. The committee will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates if plans change. Stay safe & we hope to see you at VISSOFT 2020!

Although the IoT and DLT, of which blockchain is a popular example, are two very different technologies, the fusion of DLT and IoT technologies is an unprecedented paradigm shift that is expected to disrupt both current and future systems in various fields. In particular, DLT has exactly what is needed to fix the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of IoT, in particular in terms of security. Although the convergence of IoT and DLT can potentially tackle major shortcomings of today’s solutions, its adoption is still in its infancy phase, suffering from various issues, including lack of scalability, consensus algorithms, data privacy, efficiency, availability, storage, interoperability, standardization, as well as the lack of consensus towards any reference models or best practices that specify how DLT should be utilized in IoT, among others. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and experts in order to foster the investigations on cutting-edge IoT-DLT solutions and allowing one to contribute to advancing the convergence of DLT and IoT. Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers containing original work from either academia or industry reporting novel advances in (but not limited to) the following topics: - The recent development in DLTs | Architectures/platforms for DLT and IoT - Applications of DLT and Blockchain in edge, fog and cloud computing - Development of DLT-IoT enabled sensor networks - DLTs and Blockchain in peer-to-peer and M2M communications - DTLs and Blockchain in embedded and real-time systems - Provisioning of sensor-enabled blockchain-IoT architecture - DLT-based IoT security and privacy solutions, key management, identity management, authentication, authorization, and access control - System design and implementation methods for blockchain-based IoT systems - Performance evaluation and experimental analysis of DLT/blockchain IoT schemes - Novel development of smart contracts in the blockchain-IoT ecosystem - Deployment of IoT-based sensor-data management - Machine Learning Approaches for Convergence of IoT and DLT - Performance evaluation and experimental analysis of Blockchain IoT schemes - Case studies (e.g., healthcare, energy, smart home, smart building, smart city, Industry 4.0, finance, transportation, and logistics) *Submission Format and Guideline* All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

The integration of IoT and Cloud Computing has created another paradigm, the cloud IoT, to address some of the major challenges of IoT, such as advanced analytics capabilities and big data storage. However, in the cloud IoT model, the massive amount of data coming from “smart things” needs to be uploaded to the cloud, demanding a considerable amount of available communication bandwidth. Cloud-based IoT model cannot meet the strict computing time requirement in latency-critical applications requiring a real-time operation. An excellent example of such a case is eHealth applications such as arrhythmia monitoring and classification in which volume, variety, and velocity, as well as end-to-end response time and communication bandwidth, should be handled efficiently. Edge or Fog Computing has emerged as a solution to address the drawbacks of Cloud-based IoT solutions in which computing and storage resources are located not only in the cloud but also at the edges near the source of data. Hierarchical collaborative edge-fog-cloud architecture brings tremendous benefits as it makes possible to distribute the intelligence and computation —including data analysis, machine learning (ML) training, and decision making—to achieve an optimal solution while satisfying the given constraints (i.e., optimization for energy versus optimization for latency) of each use case. However, due to the hierarchical, cross-layer, and distributed nature of this IoT model, many challenges from smart things, to network, architecture, algorithms/software, and security still need to be addressed to develop consistent, suitable, scalable, safe, flexible and power-efficient systems. The main objective of this Special Issue (SI) is to address all important aspects of emerging technologies for edge-fog-cloud computing in IoT covering architectures, techniques, protocols, policies, applications, distributed machine learnings, as well as the interaction between edge, fog and cloud analytics. Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers containing original work from either academia or industry reporting novel advances in (but not limited to) the following topics: - Distributed architectures and reference models. - Resource Management Mechanisms. - Service placement, migration and adaptation. - Low-latency High-reliability energy-efficient network protocols and communications in edge-fog-cloud. - The impact of 5G technology on edge-fog-cloud interplay. - Edge-fog-cloud management protocols and policies for workload communication and distribution. - Privacy and security issues including secure firmware, communications, and strategies to detect and mitigate attacks, as well as Over the air updates for safety IoT devices. - Trust-Oriented Designs of next-generation hierarchical IoT systems. - Optimization of the utility-privacy tradeoffs. - Big-data analytics, machine learning algorithms, and scalable/parallel/distributed algorithms. - Collaborative distributed machine learning and data analytics from Edge to Fog and Cloud. - Privacy-preserving Machine Learning and Data Processing solutions in hierarchical IoT solutions. - Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning (PPML) and Multi-party computation (MPC) techniques. - Performance monitoring & evaluation. - Real-world experiences and use cases (eHealth, automotive, transportation and logistics, retail, industry 4.0, etc.) *Important Dates* Submissions Deadline: June 15, 2020 Revision Due: September 15, 2020 Final Manuscript Due: October 30, 2020 First Reviews Due: August 15, 2020 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 15, 2020 Publication Date: 2020 *Submission Guidelines* Solicited original submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP - ACIS (2020) - Track: DataAnalytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - ACIS (2020) - Track: DataAnalytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 09:11:10 +1200 From: Nazim Taskin <nazimtaskin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, Call for Papers *ACIS (2020) - Track: Data Analytics, Knowledge Management, and Strategic Decision Making* The goal of the Data Analytics, Knowledge Management and Strategic Decision-making track is to advance our knowledge of the complexity of the disruptive technologies of data analytics and their role in the advancement of KM for better strategic decision-making. Aligned with the conference theme, the emphasis of the track is on how individual and organizational knowledge can be distilled from and incorporated into data analytics for making more effective decisions and guidance to “navigate our digital future”. Therefore, we encourage submissions that offer significant theoretical and practical contributions on how organisations can utilise emerging and analytics technologies to create value and knowledge more effectively. Data by itself is worthless unless business users analyse it and transform it into practical knowledge that delivers value to their organizations. That’s where data analytics and KM come into the picture. The success of business decisions and government policies relies heavily on the quality of the data and knowledge that underlie the decisions and policies. For this reason, gathering, analysing and considering reliable data and more importantly, transforming them into usable knowledge and expertise is increasingly critical in strategic decision-making (Intezari & Gressel, 2017; Nicolas, 2004). Due to the extensive uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk associated with strategic decisions (McKenzie et al., 2011), the role of data analytics tools and technologies in KM has much to offer to help businesses and government agencies to succeed in their strategic decision-making (Li, Goh, & Jin, 2018). Nevertheless, the transformation of data into knowledge and the use of analytical tools in incorporating data and knowledge into strategic decisions is an underdeveloped field. While offering significant promises, data analytics poses new challenges for both practitioners and scholars. Therefore, it is important and timely that the fields of decision-making and KM respond to the profound changes that big data and analytics are bringing to organizations (Pauleen & Wang, 2017). We are particularly interested in the incorporation of KM systems into strategic decisions and policies, as well as the use of analytic tools and techniques in fully supporting and successfully operationalizing people’s knowledge. This track invites submissions that address the challenges and opportunities associated with data analytics and KM, and their implication/incorporation into business processes and decision-making practices at the individual and organisational levels. The papers should address the conference theme. The track accepts empirical papers, as well as conceptual papers that offer deep theoretical insights into the areas of interest. The track is open to papers employing various research methods; and accepts completed research papers, as well as research-in-progress papers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Data analytics across decision-making levels: strategic, tactical, and operational - Data analytics and emerging research philosophies and methodologies - Methodologies, techniques, and analytical tools for individual and group decision-making - The integration of data analytics and KM for strategic decision-making: techniques, challenges and opportunities - Organizational barriers and enablers of the use of data analytics and KM in managerial and strategic decision-making - KM initiatives for managerial and strategic decision-making - Design, development, and use of KM technologies to support data-driven decisions and strategies - Organizational barriers and enablers of the use of data analytics for KM in managerial and strategic decision - Analytical tools and techniques, such as text analytics and sentiment analysis for analysing knowledge and disseminating expertise - Visualisation of structured and unstructured data and knowledge - Big data velocity and real-time analysis of data in decision-making at the individual and organisational levels - KM innovation, standards and challenges in managing data-driven decisions - Data Mining in explicit knowledge - Cultural challenges in organizations merging initiatives in analytics and KM - Individual, intra-, and inter-organizational data analytics and KM technologies Conference website: https://www.acis2020.org/ Deadline (please check conference website for updates): - August 10: Paper submission deadline - September 30: Notification of acceptance - December 1-4, 2020: Conference in Wellington, New Zealand Track co-chairs: Dr Ali INTEZARI, University of Queensland, a.intezari(a)uq.edu.au Professor David PAULEEN, Massey University, d.pauleen(a)massey.ac.nz Dr Tiong-thye GOH, Victoria University of Wellington, tiong.goh(a)vuw.ac.nz Dr Hamed JAFARZADEH, Massey University, h.jafarzadeh(a)massey.ac.nz References: - Intezari, A., and Gressel, S. 2017. “Information and Reformation in KM Systems: Big Data and Strategic Decision-making,” *Journal of Knowledge Management* (21:1), pp. 71–91. - Li, L., Goh, T.
