CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track
Emerging Issues in e-collaboration Distributed Group Decision-Making:
Opportunities and Challenges<http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_54.htm>
(Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track )
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
(HICSS-54)
Grand Hyatt Kauai
Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is
coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing
long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from
outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to
deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team
configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able
to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and
deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By
definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed
teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration.
Distributed teams face many challenges of time, location,
infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is
further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity,
nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new
challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such
as information systems, social sciences, international management,
leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one
individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very
challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research.
Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential
to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying
theory and frameworks. The mini track will attempt to accomplish these
objectives.
The mini track will address emerging issue such as diversity, culture,
adaptability and agility related to teams in distributed group decision
making, as well as the underlying theories of group dynamics,
coordination, communications and decision-making in distributed
environments, in creation of competitive advantage.
Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision
making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to):
* eCollaboration in distributed teams
* Fake news impact on ecollaboration
* Swift team collaboration
* Sub groups impact on eCollaboration
* Big data collaboration
* E-government(s) inter- , intra-collaboration
* Collaboration through crowdsourcing
* Disaster management in distributed teams
* Delivering health services through collaboration
* Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds
* Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making
* Can agile teams be globally distributed?
* Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams
* The "e (internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation of globally
distributed teams
* Communication and coordination in globally distributed teams
* Diversity issues in globally distributed teams
* Customer satisfaction, performance and "trust" building in globally
distributed teams
* Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams
* Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore
distributed teams
* Turbulent economy and its impact on outsourcing
* Models of globally distributed agile/adaptable teams
* Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally
distributed teams
* Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams
* Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams
* Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams
* Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally
distributed teams

Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical
and Inclusive Digitised Society
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 22:33:41 +0000
From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2021
Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society
1st – 3rd September 2021
NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland
www.I3E2021.com<http://www.I3E2021.com>
AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and unintended
or negative consequences for individuals and society (cf. Ransbotham et
al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These opportunities and consequences
have not been evenly distributed.
Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered by AI
and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns. Ethics
permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to use, to how to
represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the insights to create
economic and social value. Ethical concerns (i.e. illegitimate
surveillance, invasion of privacy, unemployment, malicious use etc.) are
frequently used to portray AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’.
These concerns warrant the attention of the academic community who are
in a privileged position within society to raise awareness about the
responsible design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT.
At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of exclusion
and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and communities
excluded from the digitised society. For example, digital exclusion is
part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a growing phenomenon which
carries with it a series of deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor
lifelong earnings and an increased risk of marginalisation). There are
many who are currently excluded for reasons of low income and education,
location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various disabilities
(European Commission).
Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a comprehensive
approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive society. The 20th IFIP
Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society aims to bring
together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and
communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Responsible AI
and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society.
To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to
submit and present their papers and findings to the 20th IFIP Conference
on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2021 at
NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland. Theoretical and empirical papers employing
quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed.

------------------------
Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and
continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science,
technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of
ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry,
reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal
mechanisms
enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives
insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future
scenarios.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of
logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from
the study of causality and explanation. We welcome the submission of
papers on
systems, tools, and applications of logic programming methods for causal
reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage submissions
presenting
recent developments, including works in progress. The workshop will present
the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide
opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and
relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Explainable AI,
Diagnosis,
Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science).
An important
expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from
theICLP
community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and
explanation in
the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry.

*PURPOSE AND SCOPE*
Virtualization has become the foundation of cloud computing. The scale of
cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used in High
Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores, tens of
thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high speed
interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have shown that
the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization can be the key
to increasing resource utilization and managing massive infrastructures
efficiently.
GPU vendors have introduced virtualized versions of GPUs. FPGAs are being
deployed in virtual infrastructure. These and other developments in the
field, along with future exascale systems, will provide increasing degree
of virtualization within the systems.
The goal of this special session is to be an opportunity to discuss and
exchange research on the different virtualization technologies and how they
can be efficiently applied in High Performance Computing. Theoretical
research, engineering solutions dealing with practical tradeoffs, and
complex system implementation papers are welcomed.

Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your work to the following minitrack:
HICSS-2021 MINITRACK: Business Intelligence, Business Analytics and Big
Data: Innovation, Deployment and Management
Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science (HICSS-54)
January 5-8, 2021
Grand Hyatt, Kauai
http://hicss.hawaii.ed<http://hicss.hawaii.edu>u
This minitrack, now in its 31st year, is the longest running HICSS
minitrack related to business intelligence, business analytics and more
recently big data. Its main focus remains on the organizational issues
of BI/BA and big data implementations, rather than the data science and
IT perspectives. This particular focus, as well as its long history of
research embedded in Decision Support Systems and other research
predecessors of contemporary BI/A, creates a minitrack with a rich
comprehensive view of organizational issues.
The minitrack remains relevant, thought provoking, collaborative and
innovative as new developments and the evolution of data and
technologies in the business intelligence (BI)/ business analytics (BA)
and big data space continue to create new opportunities and challenges
for individuals, organizations and society. More than ever,
organizations are facing new data-related and analytics challenges that
span the whole life cycle of BI/BA/big data applications and projects.
Emerging trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), augmented
analytics powered by machine learning and AI and DataOps, which are
enhancing the entire analytics life cycle, are all urging companies to
identify new use cases, applications and business models to take
advantage of (big) data and analytics. At the same time, companies are
experiencing an unprecedented shortage in skills and analytical
capabilities, which in turn limit their potential.
This minitrack will accept papers focused on the business,
organizational and societal aspects of business intelligence, business
analytics and big data as well as challenges related to BI/BA/big data
workforce including their education and ongoing professional
development. Contributions from the fields of theory building, design
research (methods and models), action research as well as analyses of
existing or innovative applications are welcome. We invite papers that
investigate topics which include, but are not limited to, the following:
· - Innovation and Emerging Trends in Business Intelligence, Business

Minitrack: Design and Appropriation of Knowledge and AI Systems
(https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial…)
Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems
The objective of this minitrack is to contribute to the body of
knowledge that helps scholars and practitioners increase their
collective understanding of:
- How knowledge and AI systems are planned, designed, built,
implemented, used, evaluated, supported, upgraded, and evolved;
- How knowledge and AI systems impact the context in which they are
embedded; and
- The human behaviors reflected within and induced through both (1) and (2)
By knowledge and AI systems, we mean systems in which human participants
and/or machines perform work (processes and activities) related to the
creation, retention, transfer and/or application of knowledge using
information, technology, and other resources to produce informational
products and/or services for internal or external customers. Such
systems may include, but are not limited to, knowledge management
systems, decision systems, social media, expert systems, machine
learning systems, and other AI systems as well as any other IT-enabled
knowledge processes.
We welcome both design science and design theory research in knowledge
and AI systems as well as behavioral research related to the
appropriation of knowledge and AI systems in order to span the entire
lifecycle of such systems. Topics relevant for submissions include, but
are not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical models, methodologies, tools as well as technological and
managerial practices for planning, designing, building, implementing,
using, evaluating, supporting and upgrading knowledge and AI systems
- Case studies focusing on the planning, designing, building,
implementing, using, evaluating, supporting and upgrading of knowledge
processes and technologies (e.g., virtual reality, social media, expert
systems, data analytics, AI, machine learning, e-learning)
- Systems design for social knowledge creation and use (e.g. social
media system architectures)
- Development of frameworks for classifying knowledge and AI systems
- Incorporating and/or integrating knowledge services and mashups,
social media, Web 2.0/3.0, cloud computing, and/or ubiquitous
technologies in knowledge and AI systems
- Appropriation and use of social media upon individual users, groups,
businesses, and governments for supporting knowledge processes
- Diversity aspects of designing and appropriating knowledge and AI systems
- Changing organizational cultures and structures through knowledge and
AI systems
- Design, evaluation, and/or use of processes, semantic technologies,
knowledge retrieval and representation methods, and/or systems to map,
track and/or visualize social networks and/or work systems in order to
facilitate knowledge creation and sharing and quick problem solving
(e.g., when unexpected coordination breakdowns emerge)
- Risks and challenges of knowledge and AI systems for knowledge
practices (e.g. information overload, ‘operator hand-off’ problems,
technostress, and protection of information assets)
- Design processes, representations, and/or kernel (reference) theories
for co-designing and/or co-evolving knowledge and AI systems
- Technology-in-practice outcomes and processes across both
technology-centric and socio-centric approaches to knowledge and AI
systems design (as related to, but not limited to, various affordance
and agency/agential frameworks, computer-supported cooperative work, etc.)
- Human-computer interaction in a knowledge and AI systems context
- Issues in, limitations of and barriers to accessing tacit knowledge
with knowledge and AI systems
- Human behaviors reflected within human-machine structuration phenomena
