New schedule of important dates can be found on the official website. ************** = COVID-19 SITUATION = This year's edition will be the 35th in the series of an event that is traditionally important for the community. Given to the evolving COVID-19 situation worldwide, the Conference chairs and the GULP Executives decided to hold CILC 2020 as a fully virtual conference. Please check https://cilc2020.demacs.unical.it/ regularly for news and details. = SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS = Due to the difficult period we are all experiencing and the profound impact that this has been having on our lives and work, we have decided to extend the deadlines. == Important Dates (UPDATE) == Abstract submission: July 31, 2020 (NEW) Paper submission: J̶u̶n̶e̶ ̶2̶6̶,̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶0̶ --> August 31, 2020 Notification to authors: J̶u̶l̶y̶ ̶1̶3̶,̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶0̶ --> September 14, 2020 Camera-ready copy due: S̶e̶p̶t̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶ ̶3̶,̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶0̶ --> September 21, 2020 Main Conference starts: September 28, 2020 (Subject to slight postponements, please check this site regularly) = The Conference = CILC (Italian Conference on Computational Logic) is the annual conference organized by GULP (Group of researchers and Users of Logic Programming, http://www.programmazionelogica.it/). Its 35th edition will be held in Cosenza (Italy) on September 28-29, 2020. Since the first event of the series, which took place in Genoa in 1986, the annual GULP conference represents the main opportunity for users, researchers and developers working in the field of computational logic to meet and exchange ideas. Over the years the conference broadened its horizons from the specific field of logic programming to include declarative programming and applications in neighboring areas such as artificial intelligence and deductive databases. = Contributions = The conference will feature presentations of refereed contributions, including the demonstration of software prototypes, concerning all aspects of computational logic. The conference invites two types of submissions: * full papers, possibly already submitted to other conferences or journals * short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Logic Programming, Constraint Programming and other paradigms of declarative programming - Extensions and integrations of declarative programming paradigms - Analysis, transformation, validation, and verification of programs - Instruments and environments for program development - Implementations and benchmarking - Model Checking - Temporal logics - Automated Theorem Proving - Non-Monotonic Reasoning - Answer Set Programming - Knowledge representation and extraction - Treatment of uncertain and incomplete knowledge - Approximate Reasoning - Abductive Logic Programming - Model-based Reasoning - Deductive Databases - Data Mining and Data Integration - Multi-agent systems - Logics for strategic reasoning - Semantic Web - Natural Language Processing - Computational logic for concurrency, coordination, mobility and objects - Planning and scheduling - Probabilistic Logic Programming - Computational Logic and formal methods in Artificial Intelligence - Applications of Computational Logic - Pedagogy of Computational Logic - Applications of Computational Logic - Inductive Logic Programming - Computational Logic and Machine Learning In particular, we also invite submissions of system or prototype software descriptions which use techniques or tools of computational logic, or which themselves aid the development of applications based on computational logic. Systems of both research and industrial character are welcome. Submissions must include a brief description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short papers, and a specification of the required hardware and software equipment. = Submission Details = Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cilc20200 Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short papers, respectively. Manuscripts should be formatted using the Springer LNCS style. To ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation). All contributions must be written in English. For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to register to the conference and present the paper according to directions that will be made public by the organizers, taking into account the "virtual" nature of this year's event. The event is organized by GULP; therefore, Italian attendants are required to be members of GULP (it is possible to join GULP contextually to the conference). = Proceedings and Journal Special Issue = All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given visibility on the conference web site including a link to the original publication, if already published. In the trail of the CILC tradition, we plan to publish a selection of the papers in a SPECIAL ISSUE of an international journal (to be determined). Extensions of accepted non-original contributions, if not published in a journal yet, might be included in the issue. = Committees = == General Chairs == * Francesco Calimeri – University of Calabria, Italy * Simona Perri - University of Calabria, Italy * Ester Zumpano - University of Calabria, Italy == Program Committee == * Mario Alviano, Università della Calabria * Roberto Amadini, University of Melbourne * Matteo Baldoni, Università di Torino * Stefano Bistarelli, Università di Perugia * Loris Bozzato, Fondazione Bruno Kessler * Roberta Calegari, Università di Bologna * Domenico Cantone, Università di Catania * Alberto Casagrande, Università degli Studi di Trieste * Emanuele De Angelis, IASI-CNR di Roma * Giovanni De Gasperis, Università dell’Aquila * Dario Della Monica, University of Udine * Giorgio Delzanno, Università di Genova * Wolfgang Faber, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt * Fabio Fioravanti, Università di Chieti - Pescara * Andrea Formisano, Università di Perugia * Silvio Ghilardi, Università degli Studi di Milano * Laura Giordano, Università del Piemonte Orientale * Evelina Lamma, Università di Ferrara * Francesca A.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 32nd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (OZCHI) 2020 - Call for Papers and Late-Breaking Work Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 01:32:25 +0000 From: Callum Parker <callum.parker(a)sydney.edu.au> OZCHI 2020 Call for Papers and Late-Breaking Work ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OzCHI 2020 - 32nd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction Virtual Conference 2-4 December 2020 http://www.ozchi.org/2020/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We invite original contributions on all topics related to human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design and the design of interactive technologies. We welcome submissions from design, engineering, social science, creative industries and other related disciplines. In acknowledgement of the effect that Covid-19 had on everyone's ability to conduct research, we have pushed back the Paper deadline. We now invite Paper as well as Late-Breaking Work submissions to be submitted by 14 August 2020. Submissions to both categories will be peer-reviewed and published in the conference proceedings. ====== Papers: ====== Papers should present original research and mature work in the fields of HCI and interaction design. These papers may describe investigations of user needs or contexts of use, lab-based evaluations or field deployments of prototypes, or other design-led or empirical investigations examining the relationship between people and technology. Given the impact of Covid-19 on conducting research studies, authors are encouraged to also consider submitting theory-based contributions that make a clear contribution to the field. We no longer have the category of "Short Papers", but we are now accepting submissions to the Papers track that are any length between 8 and 16 pages in the new, single-column ACM Master Article Template<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats>. The length of the paper should correspond to the contribution it makes. Authors are encouraged to consider submitting their work either to the Papers track or to the Late-Breaking Work track (which are up to 6 pages long in the single-column ACM format), depending on the maturity of the work. ================ Late-Breaking Work: ================ Late-Breaking Work (LBW) submissions present ideas that are emerging and would benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. These submissions may include initial findings from new research, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Due to the reduced number of submission categories this year, we also invite case studies about the design of interactive technologies to the LBW track. Case studies may be based on academic or industry projects, and should describe recent, topical work to fit the "late-breaking" theme of this track. For example, this may include projects describing the application of HCI or interaction design principles for addressing pandemic-related challenges. ============= Important dates: ============= 7 August 2020: Abstract submission for Papers and Late-Breaking Work 14 August 2020: Papers 14 August 2020: Late-Breaking Work 2 October 2020: Notification of accepted submissions 2-4 December 2020: Virtual conference takes place online =============== Submission details: =============== * Template: Papers and Late-Breaking Work submissions must follow the new Word/LaTeX Master Article template<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>. For further information and examples see the CHI2021 publication format website<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats> on https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats * Page length: Papers should be between 8 and 16 pages (excluding references). LBW submissions can be up to 6 pages long (excluding references). Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a submission relative to its length. Shorter, more focused submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. * Anonymisation: Submissions must be anonymised for peer review. Citations of own work and general anonymisation standards should follow the CHI anonymisation policy<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-pol…> on https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-pol… * Submission format: single column format in PDF using Word or LaTeX, including source files. * Submission system: We are planning on using PCS this year, the submission link will be published on the OzCHI website. ============== Selection process: ============== Papers and LBW will undergo a double-blind review by an international panel and evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality and clarity of writing. This review will be based on the full text of the submission. We are planning for accepted papers to be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register with OzCHI and present the paper at the virtual conference. We are aiming to keep costs for authors as low as possible this year. Updates on registration and online presentation format will be published on the OzCHI website. =========== About OzCHI: =========== OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) and Australia's leading forum for the latest in HCI research and practice.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 54 Call for Papers Minitrack Blockchain for digital services, one month to deadline again! Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 07:22:21 +0000 From: Rossi Matti <matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi> To: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 54: Minitrack Call for Papers Smart Mobility Ecosystems and Services (in Decision Analytics, Mobile Technologies and Service Science track) Minitrack chairs: Juho Lindman, Matti Rossi, Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen HICSS-54: January 5-8, 2021| Kauai, Hawaii Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2020 Website: http://hicss.hawaii.edu and https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#… Theme Transportation is changing and this change is driven by technology-driven trends: Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification and diverse mobility business models of Shared vehicles. At the same time there is a drive towards more sustainable transportation. Digital platforms and services are essential for orchestrating sustainable smart mobility service ecosystems: data that represents accurately for instance location of passengers and service providers, weather, usage and maintenance is a cornerstone for service design. Identification and communication systems that link specific physical things to specific digital addresses offer possibilities to communicate, transact, pay, build trust, sense and activate “things” from the internet – and design novel services based on this generated data. Autonomous vehicles, electric cars and mobility related sharing economy services are all build on platform thinking, as do many services reducing the need for travel to begin with. Autonomous vehicles have been hailed as harbingers of new kinds of mobility and travel services. Autonomous cars seem to be a bit further away from wider prevalence than expected a couple of years ago, but the data gathered for them and available from e.g. smart city initiatives and mobile devices provides great opportunities for smart mobility services, related to both private and public transportation. Shipping industry, especially in cargo shipping, has already many ongoing advanced projects and pilots, and in aviation, autonomous aircrafts are being developed by several companies. In closed and/or hazardous environments, such as mines, autonomous vehicles are already working. Autonomous vehicles in land, see and air (e.g. drones) are expected to decrease costs and increase efficiency and safety, but a host of regulatory, safety, legal and security challenges are yet to be resolved. More acutely, electric cars are increasingly embraced by car owners and they require their own set of infrastructure and services. Full scale charging infrastructure needs building, and it requires a lot of mobile services to support it. Some are simple, like applications that show location and availability of charging station, and some more complex, like payment systems for charging and in the near future for trading electricity stored in car batteries, which can be used in smart grid to balance peaks of consumption. Societal benefits of moving from fossil fuels to electricity in terms of reduction of pollution are quite clear, but in addition to insufficient charging infrastructure, limited driving range, high costs and battery issues still act as barriers to wider acceptance. At the same time there is a growing concern about sustainability of current practices of mobility and travel. Mobility related sharing economy services as well as different types of fleet services are seen as viable options to privately owned cars, but they have their own challenges, like added congestion in cities, reconfiguring existing modes of (especially public) transportation, disrupting incumbent industries and widening the power imbalance between the platform owners and “independent contractors”. These services require the ability to connect to these specific platforms and seem to be prone to strong location and availability-based network effects. At the same time concerns about e.g. business traveling has become acute in many countries and there are movements to limit both work and leisure travel when possible. Could smart digital services and apps offer alternatives for travel, or could there be services that propose the best ways to limit the carbon footprint of travel? W e are also interested in their development, design and service innovation. Furthermore, social, societal and potential customer segmentation issues are of great interest. In this proposed minitrack we take stock of what is the state of the art in current mobility services and service ecosystems and what is coming in the near future. As HICSS is addressing leading edge developments, we especially encourage submissions on new subareas, such as, sustainable travel services, autonomous transportation services, and privacy and security concepts. Topics Relevant topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited to: · Transportation ecosystems and services · Smart traffic services · Autonomous and connected vehicle development · Autonomous vehicle (land, see, air) business models · User issues in different smart traffic services * Location-based services and business models related to mobility * Business value of transportation and mobility services * Data privacy and quality in mobility services * Data sharing and ownership issues hampering data utilization in mobility services * Sustainable travel services * Value added services for travelers (usage, location, maintenance data) * Business and societal issues related to autonomous vehicles (land, see, air) * Technological challenges of adaptability and adaptivity of services Mini-Track Chairs Juho Lindman (Primary Contact) University of Gothenburg juho lindman at ait.gu.se Matti Rossi Aalto University School of Business matti.rossi at aalto.fi Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen Aalto University School of Business virpi.tuunainen at aalto.fi Matti Rossi Professor of Information Systems Science Aalto University School of Business Department of Information and Service Management P.O.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: Special Issue in JIT on "Emerging Technologies in Information Systems Sourcing"
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Special Issue in JIT on "Emerging Technologies in Information Systems Sourcing" Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 10:11:10 +0200 From: olik(a)itu.dk Reply-To: olik(a)itu.dk To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology on: “Emerging Technologies and IS Sourcing” Special Issue Editors: - Julia Kotlarsky, University of Auckland – New Zealand (j.kotlarsky(a)auckland.ac.nz, corresponding) - Ilan Oshri, University of Auckland – New Zealand - Oliver Krancher, IT University of Copenhagen – Denmark - Rajiv Sabherwal, University of Arkansas – USA The last decade has seen a significant proliferation of new technologies. These include robotic process automation (Coombs et al. 2020; Lacity and Willcocks 2016), big data (Wiener et al. 2020), machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence (Brynjolfsson and McAfee 2016), blockchain (Du et al. 2019) and other “emerging technologies”. Consulting and market research companies have consistently predicted that the current wave of technologies will transform both front and back office operations, requiring firms to rethink their business models and strategies . While evidence suggests that firms will continue to invest in emerging technologies, there has so far been little evidence about the involvement of service providers and advisory in the selection, design and adoption of such emerging technologies. IS sourcing research has conventionally accounted for three main areas of interest: sourcing decision, contractual structures and relationship management (Kotlarsky et al. 2020). Emerging technologies challenge these traditional conventions in the IS sourcing literature . Particular challenges include but are not limited to:  There is greater dependency on data in emerging technologies, which triggers clients to source data science services;  The actual implementation of emerging technology often happens through platforms that involve multiple players and services;  The asset transfer model has become less relevant and yet client firms are still expected to reduce their headcount;  There is greater emphasis on the redesign of the value chain as services have become digitized and decisions are now driven by smart algorithms;  At the same time, emerging technologies are viewed as a black box, posing a skills and expertise challenge to client firms to ensure acquiring and retaining knowledge of the technology. Further, the IS sourcing literature which has traditionally relied on three main reference theories, namely, transaction cost economics, resource dependency and social exchange (e.g., Karimi-Alaghehband et al. 2011; Chang et al, 2017; Kotlarsky et al. 2020; Lee et al. 2019). Emerging technologies emphasize the need of expanding this theoretical base and accommodating new paradigms of capturing and analysing data in IS sourcing research. Taking into account the above observations, the IS sourcing literature thus begs for the re-examination of client-supplier-advisory relationships by challenging core concepts of sourcing decision, contractual structure and relationship management as offering new theoretical landscapes that accommodate the sourcing phenomenon in a digital age. This special issue seeks to facilitate an empirical and theoretical re-examination of “IS sourcing” in the light of the current wave of emerging technologies. Areas of interest to the special issue include but not limited to:  Governance and control structures between client-supplier-advisory in emerging technology settings;  Sourcing decision making in emerging technology settings;  Ecosystem and platforms in emerging technology sourcing settings;  Contract management in emerging technology sourcing settings;  Full data lifecycle in emerging technologies and its implications for sourcing management;  Skills and capability development and retention in emerging technology sourcing settings;  Implications for innovations within the client-supplier-advisory eco- system;  Ethical and societal implications deriving from such sourcing settings;  Impact of emerging technologies on client’s, supplier’s and advisory’s strategies, business models and capabilities (e.g., has offshoring slowed down/back sourcing accelerated? And what was the impact on captive centers’ services).  Implications of “crowdsourcing”, big data, analytics as well as machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence for the contemporary IS outsourcing. We invite research papers that investigate issues relating to emerging technologies and IS sourcing. In particular, we take interest in issues concerning robotic process automation, big data, machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence and blockchain. Other technologies are less of interest for this special issue (contact the special issue editors if in doubt). There will be a developmental workshop connected to this special issue. Participation in the workshop not mandatory for submission to the special issue, but strongly encouraged. Guidelines for Extended Abstract Submission: Please construct your submission as follows: 1. Introduction and clear motivation 2. Brief literature review and theoretical foundations 3. Empirical base of the study 4.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] International Semantic Intelligence Conference 2021 Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 21:42:32 +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: Doing Research on AI, Organizing, and Management? -> Please submit your work to our HICSS 54 minitrack Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 16:30:55 +0000 From: Stefan Seidel <Stefan.Seidel(a)uni.li> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Minitrack: AI, Organizing, and Management Track: Organizational Systems and Technology https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/organizational-systems-and-technology/#a… 54th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-54) January 5-8, 2021 Grand Hyatt Kauai Important Dates for Paper Submission June 15, 2020: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2020: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 4, 2020: Deadline for A-M Authors to Submit Revised Manuscript for Review September 22, 2020: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2020: Deadline for at least one author of to register for HICSS-54 As organizations become more reliant on AI methods, they need new organizational and management theories, frameworks, and methodologies that can help them understand the consequences of using these AI tools—both at the level of structures and organizational activities. Since such agents often rely on complex internal processing, their behavior is less predictable than that of the types of IT artifacts we are used to dealing with. This opens up a number of problem areas with regards to managing and organizing these methods. For example: - How does coordination shift as AI tools are used, and what new types of organizational hierarchies and structures emerge? - How do power relations change, and how do different organizational actors use these new technologies to reshape power relations? - What is the impact of using AI on those processes that have traditionally been seen as being entirely driven and controlled by humans? - How can the organization evaluate the ethical implications of deployed AI methods? - What are relevant KPIs and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of AI applications? - How should an organization manage, staff and coordinate AI development teams? This minitrack aims to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms through which humans organize together with software-based agents as well as the process organizations use to develop these AI methods. We aim to provide a platform for thought and discussion in this important and emergent niche within information systems and IT research. We invite both conceptual and empirical contributions using different methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, simulation, etc.). In addition to the questions raised above, potential topics include, but are not limited to: - AI & coordination: How does AI change the way humans coordinate? - AI & power: How does AI affect corporations, markets, and peer production structures? - AI & governance: Who runs the technology? What does the technology run? - AI & development: How to manage project and deployment risk? - AI & creativity: How can AI be creative? How can humans and AI be co-creators? - AI & design: What does AI design? Should it design itself? - AI & innovation: How does AI foster innovation? - AI & crowds: What do crowds do for machine learning, and what’s in it for the crowds? - AI & organizational routines: How does AI change the nature of work?
