-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers: CAIS Special Section: Special Section: COVID-19, Learning, Pedagogy, and Educational Systems Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 15:28:25 -0500 From: Craig Vanslyke <crvanslyke(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers Special Section: COVID-19, Learning, Pedagogy, and Educational Systems Communications of the Association for Information Systems Guest editors: Craig Van Slyke, Louisiana Tech University (vanslyke(a)latech.edu) Heikki Topi, Bentley University (htopi(a)bentley.edu) Mary Granger, George Washington University (granger(a)gwu.edu) Editorial Review Board Toon Abcouwer, University of Amsterdam Asli Akbulut, Grand Valley State University Tom Case, Georgia Southern University Carina de Villiers, University of Pretoria Geoff Dick, St. John's University Wafa Elgarah, Al Akhawayn University Lee Freeman, University of Michigan - Dearborn Alexandre Graeml, Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná Ann-Therese Hedqvist, Linnaeus University Blake Ives, University of Houston Lesley Land, University of New South Wales Roderick Lee, Penn State University - Harrisburg Alanah Mitchell, Drake University Jeff Proudfoot, Bentley University Guillermo Rodríguez-Abitia, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Sumarie Roodt, University of Cape Town Jan Seruga, Australian Catholic University Venky Shankararaman, Singapore Management University Gary Spurrier, University of Alabama Riana Steyn, University of Pretoria Rhonda Syler, University of Arkansas Andrew Urbaczewski, University of Denver and United States Air Force Academy Elizabeth White Baker, Virginia Commonwealth University Overview COVID-19 has changed the world abruptly and (possibly) irreversibly. Higher education has not escaped the impacts of COVID-19, with virtually all institutions making mid-term shifts to online delivery of courses. In some cases, faculty had to adapt their courses in as few as two days. Although jarring and challenging, the adaptation has the potential to ultimately strengthen information systems education as new, effective practices and ways of thinking emerge. At the same time, the rapid shift may have exposed broader ethical and practical challenges that must be addressed. The goal of the special issue is to provide an opportunity to share experiences and lessons that facilitate transfer of knowledge within our community and, perhaps, beyond. No higher education stakeholders have escaped the impacts of COVID-19.We are interested in insights gained regarding all dimensions of this situation, including students, courses/classes, programs/departments, institutions, society at large, and tools or classes of tools. We are interested in observations from online teaching that will inform improvements you intend to make in in the environment you will be facing when you return to campus, whenever and in whatever form it may happen. We are open to being surprised if you have made discoveries or created inventions not easily captured by this short list of possibilities. Please note that the emphasis is on relatively short discussions rapidly developed and published in a timely manner to be helpful to those in the process of adapting to “the new normal”. This is in keeping with the overall *CAIS* mission of serving the IS community with useful, timely, and relevant ideas, opinions, and factual material. Submission Types We seek two types of papers for this special issue: Practice papers and Opinion papers. *Practice papers* should focus on communicating effective practices related to adapting to the challenges faced by teaching in the time of COVID-19. Practice papers should emphasize providing insights and advice that others can put into practice. Practice papers should address the following: - Clear description of the problem, challenge, or opportunity - Description of the practice that includes sufficient detail to allow others to adapt and apply the practice - Discussion of your experiences - A “lesson(s) learned” section Some potential topics are shown below. Other relevant topics are welcome. - Mitigating negative impacts on students - Adapting to fully distributed work (e.g. telework) for teaching and research - Maintaining academic integrity and rigor - Applying innovative technologies to the rapid shift to remote learning - Innovative approaches to teaching IT specific skills such as coding, testing, system integration, and the like - Adapting accommodations for students and faculty with disabilities - Maintaining family-work balance - Knowledge sharing practices among faculty and students - Adapting administrative practices, policies, and procedures (e.g. faculty evaluation, promotion and tenure) - Maintaining social connections among faculty, staff, and students - Adaptations of specific learning practices, such as collaborative learning, active learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning - Integration of synchronous and asynchronous tactics - Facilitating exams and exam questions for online administration - Helping students cope with rapid change - Adapting recruiting and placement activities - Assessment and evaluation of student learning - Role of teaching and learning labs in the distributed context - Providing tutoring in an on-line environment - Effectively shifting face-to-face labs and demonstrations to online environments - Leveraging online learning materials to enhance face-to-face learning environments *Opinion papers* should focus on “big picture” issues that were brought on or exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The opinions expressed in these papers should be well developed and, where appropriate, supported by evidence, while keeping in mind that these are opinion pieces rather than traditional research papers. The list below provides some examples of possible Opinion papers. We welcome other relevant topics. - Exposing and exacerbating issues related to digital divides - Ethical decision-making in the context of extreme time pressures - Long-term impacts on information systems education - Long-term impacts on information systems employment - Impacts on diversity and inclusion in information systems education and the information systems profession - Opportunities for information systems education improvement and growth - Relationships between information systems and other academic disciplines - Collaboration opportunities between institutions *Examples of encouraged paper topics:* - Program or course policies—difficulty assessing attendance and participation, coping by developing an ad hoc student self-administered spreadsheet log, return to the classroom with multiple avenues for demonstrating participation in class and/or online. - Student populations—dealing with time zones and a mixture of people who are local and at a great distance; mixing synchronous and asynchronous tactics; return to the classroom with a broader array of access points to pedagogical materials - Recognizing and mitigating the impact of varying contexts in which students are performing their work when online - Using the impact of the pandemic as a mechanism for expanding educational opportunities for students from a broader range of contexts Although our emphasis is on sharing solutions, even ones that are not thoroughly tested outside the specific environment in which they were developed, some problems that have not been solved (yet) may also generate stimulating thought and perhaps future prescriptive advice. Example of not-encouraged topics: - Issues with hiring new faculty during the pandemic - Issues regarding whether online versus classroom teaching is more effective - Issues regarding expectations from non-IS faculty for supporting their technology use We are likely to favor articles that are not so specific to a particular location that others aren’t likely to be able to use their lessons; but also, not so general to education that they don’t address the concerns of IS, MIS, CIS, and related areas of study. Submission and Review Submissions should be 1,000 - 2,500 words, exclusive of references. Submission should be in English and follow CAIS submission guidelines. Author guidelines for submission to the CAIS are available at http://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/format.html. All papers should be submitted to the online review system of CAIS (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cais). Authors should select “Special Section” as the Department. Submissions will be subject to an initial screening for suitability. Suitable papers will be peer reviewed by members of the special section editorial review board. Based on those reviews, submissions will be accepted, invited for revision, or declined. Tentative Schedule - July 15, 2020: Submissions due - August 15, 2020: First round review notification - September 15, 2020: Revised papers due - October 15, 2020: Second round review notification - November 15, 2020: Final acceptance notification If logistically possible, articles will be published as accepted rather than in a single batch. -- Craig Van Slyke crvanslyke(a)gmail.com "See your possibilities, not your limitations." _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Blockchain Technology and Applications Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 17:40:08 +0100 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Please consider submitting to the EMCIS 2020 track on Blockchain Technology and Applications Due to COVID-19, the conference will be run on-line. Blockchain Technology and Applications A Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that saves transactions on thousands of computers around the globe. Blockchain, the technology underlying the infamous Bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been receiving considerable attention in recent years, as new use cases in the public and private sector are identified. What started as a mechanism to avoid the double spending problem with digital money is being experimented in scenarios where a trusted third party (e.g. a notary or a bank) was normally required. Using this technology, transactions are securely registered in a ledger distributed across a network of peers that validate the entries using a consensus mechanism. The high importance of blockchain has attracted the attention of organizations in different sectors and has resulted in the development of innovative organizations and new job positions. Currently, few if any could predict the full extent of the disruptive innovations that would emerge fostered by Blockchain technology. This track seeks to serve as an annual venue that will enable the discussion on the trends, challenges and developments of Blockchain technology. In doing so, it aims to speed up the study and accelerate the adoption of this technology. Topics of interest include the following but are not limited to: • Blockchain case studies • Blockchain infrastructure • Blockchain and mobile banking • Blockchain and peer-to-peer transfers • Blockchain and digital currencies • Blockchain and Internet of Things • Blockchain and markets • Blockchain and marketplaces • Blockchain and healthcare • Blockchain applications • Blockchain and e-government • Blockchain and Banking sector • Fintech applications • Blockchain and regulatory frameworks • Barriers to blockchain adoption • Smart contracts • Innovation in blockchain • Privacy, Security and Identity in blockchain Important Dates: Electronic Submission Deadline: 20 July, 2020 Notification of Acceptance to Authors: 10 September, 2020 Camera Ready Copy: 18 September, 2020 Author Registration Deadline: 18 September, 2020 Track co-Chairs: Paulo Rupino da Cunha, University of Coimbra, Portugal Klitos Christodoulou, University of Nicosia, Cyprus For additional information, please check http://emcis.eu <http://emcis.eu/> Paulo Rupino da Cunha Professor Auxiliar com Agregação Assistant Professor w/ Habilitation Universidade de Coimbra • Departamento de Engenharia Informática Pólo II | 3030-290 COIMBRA • PORTUGAL Tel.: Phone +351 239 790 050 E-mail: rupino(a)dei.uc.pt <mailto:rupino@dei.uc.pt> eden.dei.uc.pt/~rupino <http://eden.dei.uc.pt/~rupino> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Olszak, Jozef Zurada, Dilek Cetindamar Kozanoglu The development of the Internet, social media, distributed databases, and a variety of mobile devices has caused a huge increase in data. Much of this diverse data in unstructured and structured forms has a high business value and, if properly utilized, can become an important organizational asset. It contains various information about customers, competition, labor market, and development trends for industries, products and services, as well as the public and political mood. For innovative and sustainable development, it is essential for organizations to utilize this data to increase sales, identify future opportunities and new markets, outperform the competition, enhance products and services, recruit talent, improve operations, perform forecasting, protect the brand, and identify areas for improvement to name a few. However, many organizations make a limited use of this valuable data available to them either because they lack necessary tools or do not understand the value of this d ata. The main objective of this mini-track is to provide organizations a theoretical, conceptual, and applied grounded discussion of Business Intelligence and Big Data (BI & BD) to aid in innovative and sustainable development as well as effective decision-making. This mini-track addresses the following questions: * What is the substance (nature) of BI & BD? * What is the added-value of BI & BD to development of organizations and their decision-making process? * How to support organizational creativity, innovation and decision-making using BI & BD? * How to design intelligent information systems and build decision support systems based on BI & BD? * How to use BI & BD tools and solutions to achieve innovative and sustainable development of organizations? This mini-track invites papers focused on, but not limited to: * Theoretical foundations for BI & BD development * BI & BD to improve innovative and sustainable development of organizations; * Challenges and opportunities of applying BI & BD for innovative and sustainable development of organizations * Development of BI & BD analytics capability * BI & BD driven strategies * BI & BD-enabled business transformation * Business value of BI & BD * BI & BD engineering for business model innovation * Practical approaches, solutions, methods, and tools to foster innovative and sustainable development of organizations by using of BI & BD * Cognitive technologies in organizations * Social networks Important dates (https://hicss.hawaii.edu/): * July 15, 2020 (Hawaii Time) Submit full manuscripts - the review is double-blind * August 17, 2020 Acceptance notice is emailed to authors by the review system * September 22, 2020 Submit final paper for publication in the conference proceedings * January 5-8, 2021 HICSS Conference Mini-track Co-Chairs: Celina M.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ISIC 2021 Springer Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2020 12:47:59 +0530 From: SARIKA JAIN <jasarika(a)nitkkr.ac.in> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Researchers / Academicians, [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] [image: reduced size ISIC 2021 image.png] *International Semantic Intelligence Conference (ISIC-2021)* https://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/isic/ *Call for Papers and Participation* *Conference Date:* *Feb 25-27, 2021* *Submissions Due:* *August 10, 2020* *Submit your paper through Easy Chair:* https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isic2021. ISIC is an international platform for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Semantic Web communities. It presents a forum to publish cutting edge research results in intelligent applications. Due to many technological trends like IoT, Cloud Computing, Smart Devices, huge data is generated daily and at unprecedented rates. Traditional data techniques and platforms do not prove to be efficient because of issues concerning responsiveness, flexibility, performance, scalability, accuracy, and more. To manage these huge data sets and to store the archives for longer periods, we need granular access to massively evolving data sets. Addressing this gap has been an important and well recognized interdisciplinary area of Computer Science. A machine will behave intelligently if the underlying representation scheme exhibits knowledge that can be achieved by representing semantics. Semantic Intelligence refers to filling the semantic gap between the understanding of humans and machines by making a machine look at everything in terms of object-oriented concepts as a human look at it. Semantic intelligence helps us make sense of the most vital resource, i.e., data; by virtue of making it interpretable and meaningful. To whatever application, the data will be put to; it is to be represented in a manner that is machine-understandable and hence human-usable. The Artificial Intelligence technologies, the Machine Intelligence technologies, and the semantic web technologies together make up the Semantic Intelligence Technologies (SITs). SITs have been found as the most important ingredient in building artificially intelligent knowledge-based systems as they aid machines in integrating and processing resources contextually and intelligently. Researchers and practitioners from all over the world, from academia, industry, and the government are invited to present their work, perspectives, experiences, and vision, and participate in the conference by - submitting their full-length papers, review papers, or application papers latest by Aug 10, 2020. - ideating a track/workshop/session, popularize it, get the papers and be the owner of the same latest by June 30, 2020. - participating in the Technical Program Committee.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP IEEE DependSys 2020: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (Submission Due: 1 September 2020) Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2020 10:42:08 +0800 From: Jun Feng <junfeng989(a)gmail.com> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call For Papers ============================================================================= The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (IEEE DependSys 2020), 14-16 December 2020, Fiji (Submission Due: 1 September 2020) http://cse.stfx.ca/~dependsys/2020/index.html IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. ============================================================================= All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CfP: 1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling Meets Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Decision Making Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 15:03:12 +0000 From: Peter Fettke <peter.fettke(a)dfki.de> Reply-To: Peter Fettke <peter.fettke(a)dfki.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> 2nd Call for Papers: 1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling Meets Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Decision Making See full version at: https://workshop-cmai.github.io/2020/ The workshop will be held in conjunction with the ER 2020 conference: https://er2020.big.tuwien.ac.at/ Call for Papers ------------- Artificial intelligence (AI) is front and center in the data-driven revolution that has been taking place in the last couple of years with the increasing availability of large amounts of data (“big data”) in virtually every domain. The now dominant paradigm of data-driven AI, powered by sophisticated machine learning algorithms, employs big data to build intelligent applications and support fact-based decision making. The focus of data-driven AI is on learning (domain) models and keeping those models up-to-date by using statistical methods over big data, in contrast to the manual modeling approach prevalent in traditional, knowledge-based AI. While data-driven AI has led to significant breakthroughs, it also comes with a number of disadvantages. First, models generated by machine learning algorithms often cannot be inspected and understood by a human being, thus lacking explainability. Furthermore, integration of preexisting domain knowledge into learned models – prior to or after learning – is difficult. Finally, correct application of data-driven AI depends on the domain, problem, and organizational context while considering human aspects as well. Conceptual modeling can be the key to applying data-driven AI in a meaningful, correct, and time-efficient way while improving maintainability, usability, and explainability. Topics of Interest --------------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Combining generated and manually engineered models - Combining symbolic with sub-symbolic models - Conceptual (meta-)models as background knowledge for model learning - Explainability of learned models - Conceptual models for enabling explainability, model validation and plausibility checking - Trade-off between explainability and model performance - Trade-off between comprehensibility of an explanation and its completeness - Reasoning in generated models - Data-driven modeling support - Learning of meta-models - Automatic, incremental model adaptation - Model-driven guidance and support for data analytics lifecycle - Conceptual models for supporting users with conducting data analysis Important Dates ------------- Paper Submission: 27 July 2020 Author Notification: 17 August 2020 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: 7 September 2020 Submission Guidelines ------------------- Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS series by Springer. Note that only accepted papers presented in the workshop by at least one author will be published.
