Abedin, I. Junglas, C. Meske, H. Motahari-Nezhad, F. Rabhi Submission deadline: April 30th, 2021 https://www.springer.com/journal/10796 Special Note - HICSS 54: the best paper of our HICSS-minitrack on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) will be fast-tracked to this special issue. ******************************************************************************* *Aims and Objectives * The development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has received significant attention in academia and practice alike as AI has reached, or even surpassed, the ability of humans in a variety of domains (Arrieta et al., 2020; Sugumaran et al., 2017). AI has been described as the non-human intelligence that is flexible and autonomous enough to understand and learn from data in order to achieve specific outcomes (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2019). While different definitions for ‘Artificial Intelligence’ exist, there is a general understanding that it includes learning, reasoning, and adaptation capabilities as its key features. AI is increasingly being applied in information systems with potentially severe consequences for humans, including medical diagnostics (McKinney et al., 2020), job recruitment (Dastin, 2018), transport management (He et al., 2014), credit scoring (Wang et al. 2019), and autonomous vehicles (Grigorescu et al., 2019). Yet, despite information systems’ rich tradition as a discipline in theorizing and studying both the technical elements as well as the human aspects in designing and managing complex systems (Beydoun et al., 2019; Dwivedi et al., 2015), the social perspective within interactions between humans and AI systems is yet underresearched (Harper, 2019). Human–AI interaction necessitates researchers and practitioners to go beyond smart algorithms, as it rather requires effective coordination of complex problem solving, teamwork, communication, and joint action between the human agent and AI systems (Seeber et al., 2020). Collaboration between the human and the AI can create heterogeneous work groups (Arrieta et al., 2020; Kaplan and Haenlein, 2019), which would require shared understanding for effective collaborative outcomes (Bittner and Leimeister, 2014). The theme of this special issue highlights the need for conceptualization and empirical study of challenges associated with the implications of AI systems. In particular, we aim to explore, theorize, and test guidelines for upholding and implementing good AI practices in designing and managing human-AI interactions. We welcome the examination at the individual, group/team, organizational or societal level of analysis across all possible domains. We solicit case studies, surveys, experiments, qualitative research, design science research, and collaborative action research among academics, executives and policy makers that illustrate innovative approaches, resolutions, and solutions to these described tensions, risks, and opportunities. We especially seek papers that offer theoretical models along with observations or evidence of consequences related to these models. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to* ·Theorizing Human-AI interactions at individual and organizational levels ·Management and governance of Human-AI interactions ·Opportunities and challenges of Human-AI interactionsfrom the perspective of developers, users, and policy makers ·(Cross-stakeholder) Design of Human-AI interactions ·Ethics, legal and social issues of Human-AI interactions ·Regulation and certification of Human-AI interactions ·Responsibility in Human-AI Interactions ·Privacy and data fusion in the context of AI ·Interaction with AI through human-in-the-loop development ·Trust in the context of Human-AI interactions ·Transparency and explainability of AI (XAI) ·Business value and consequences of Human-AI interactions ·Supporting AI ethical principles during system requirements and design *Important dates* ·April 30^th , 2021: Submission deadline for papers ·July 31^st , 2021: Reviews returned ·October 30^th , 2021: Revised papers submitted ·December 15^th , 2021: Notification ·January 31^st , 2022: Final papers due ·Early 2022: Special issue published *Special Note – HICSS54 (January 5-8, 2021; Submission Deadline: July 15^th , 2020)* The guest-editors of this special issue have organized a conference mini-track “Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)” at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 54 (https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#…).

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).

Fwd: [WI] CfP: 2nd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Model-driven Engineering (MDE Intelligence 2020) @ Models 2020
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: 2nd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Model-driven Engineering (MDE Intelligence 2020) @ Models 2020 Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 09:29:04 +0200 From: Manuel Wimmer <manuel.wimmer(a)jku.at> Reply-To: Manuel Wimmer <manuel.wimmer(a)jku.at> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2nd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Model-driven Engineering (MDE Intelligence 2020) 18-20 October 2020 Montreal, Canada https://mde-intelligence.github.io/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Theme & Goals -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of everyone's life. It is used by companies to exploit the information they collect to improve the products and/or services they offer and, wanted or unwanted, it is present in almost every device around us. Lately, AI is also starting to impact all aspects of the system and software development lifecycle, from their upfront specification to their design, testing, deployment and maintenance, with the main goal of helping engineers produce systems and software faster and with better quality while being able to handle ever more complex systems. The hope is that AI will help dealing with the increasing complexity of systems and software. There is no doubt that MDE has been a means to tame until now part of this complexity. However, its adoption by industrial still relies on their capacity to manage the underlying methodological changes including among other things the adoption of new tools. To go one step further, we believe there is a clear need for AI-empowered MDE, which will push the limits of "classic" MDE and provide the right techniques to develop the next generation of highly complex model-based system and software systems engineers will have to design tomorrow. This workshop provides a forum to discuss, study and explore the opportunities and challenges raised by the integration of AI and MDE. We would like to address topics such as how to choose, evaluate and adapt AI techniques to Model-Driven Engineering as a way to improve current system and software modeling and generation processes in order to increase the benefits and reduce the costs of adopting MDE. We believe that AI artifacts will empower the MDE tools and boost hence the advantages, and then adoption, of MDE at industry level. At the same time, AI is software (and complex software, in fact), we also believe that such an AI-powered MDE approach will also benefit the design of AI artifacts themselves and specially to face the challenge of designing "trustable" AI software. Last but not least, although AI is the most popular branch of computer science to create and simulate intelligence, we also believe that any kind of technique that provides human cognitive capabilities and helps creating "intelligent" software are also in the scope of this workshop. An example would be the knowledge representation techniques and ontologies that can be useful on its own or support other kinds of AI techniques. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TOPICS OF INTEREST -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Model-driven engineering (MDE) and artificial intelligence (AI) are two separate fields in computer science, which can clearly benefit from cross-pollination and collaboration. There are at least two ways in which such integration—which we call MDE Intelligence—can manifest: * Artificial Intelligence for MDE. MDE can benefit from integrating AI concepts and ideas to increase its power: flexibility, user experience, quality, etc. For example, using model transformations through search-based approaches, or by increasing the ability to abstract from partially formed, manual sketches into fully-shaped and formally specified meta-models and editors. * MDE for Artificial Intelligence. AI is software, and as such, it can benefit from integrating concepts and ideas from MDE that have been proven to improve software development. For example, using domain-specific languages allows domain experts to directly express and manipulate their problems while providing an auditable conversion pipeline. Together this can improve trust in and safety of AI technologies. Similarly, MDE technologies can contribute to the goal of explainable AI. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: AI for MDE =-=-=-=-=-=- * Application of (meta-heuristic) search to modelling problems; * Machine learning of models, meta-models, concrete syntax, model transformations, etc.; * AI planning applied to modelling, meta-modelling, and model management; * Modeling assistants such as bots, chatbots and virtual assistants/recommenders supporting diverse modeling tasks; * Model inferencers and automatic model generators from datasets; * Self-adapting code generators; * AI-based user interface adaptation for modeling tools; * AI with human-in-the-loop for modeling; * Semantic reasoning platforms over domain-specific models; * Semantic integration of design-time models with runtime data; * General-knowledge or domain-specific ontologies; * Probabilistic models; * Use of AI techniques in data, process and model mining and categorisation; * Natural language processing applied to modelling; * Perception and modeling. MDE for AI =-=-=-=-=-=- * Domain-specific modelling approaches for AI planning, machine learning, agent-based modelling, etc.; * Model-driven processes for AI system development; * MDE techniques for explainable AI; * Using models for knowledge representation; * Code-generation for AI libraries and platforms; * Model-based testing of AI components. General =-=-=-=- * Tools for combining AI and MDE; * Case studies in MDE Intelligence; * Challenge problems to be addressed by combining AI and MDE techniques. =-=-=-=-=-=- SUBMISSIONS =-=-=-=-=-=- Papers will follow the same style and format of the main tracks of the conference (please check them here).

Rather, a significant proportion of seasoned investigators are regularly present among the attendees, often senior faculty at their own institutions. The balanced audience that we strive to maintain in each Advanced Course greatly contributes to the development of intense cross-disciplinary debates among faculty and participants that typically address the most advanced and emerging areas of each topic. Each faculty member presents lectures and discusses with the participants for one entire day. Such long interaction together with the small, exclusive Course size provides the uncommon opportunity to fully explore the expertise of each faculty, often through one-to-one mentoring. This is unparalleled and priceless. The Certosa di Pontignano provides the perfect setting to a relaxed yet intense learning atmosphere, with the stunning backdrop of the Tuscan landscapes. World-class wines and traditional foods will make the Advanced Course on Data Science and Machine Learning the experience of a lifetime. 8 ECTS POINTS: Participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance indicating the number of hours of lectures (36-40 hours of lectures). In according to the academic system all PhD and master students attending to the summer school will may get 8 ECTS points. A formal certificate of successful participation in the event will be delivered indicating the number of hours of lectures. VENUE & ACCOMMODATION: The venue of ACDL 2020 will be The Certosa di Pontignano — Siena Dr. Lorenzo Pasquinuzzi The Certosa di Pontignano Località Pontignano, 5 – 53019, Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena) – Tuscany – Italy phone: +39-0577-1521104 fax: +39-0577-1521098 info(a)lacertosadipontignano.com https://www.lacertosadipontignano.com/en/index.php A few Kilometres from Siena, on a hill dominating the town stands the ancient Certosa di Pontignano, a unique place where nature, history and hospitality blend together in memorable harmony.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS-54 Call for papers - Big Data and Analytics: Pathways to Maturity mini track Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 17:43:57 +0000 From: Alberto Espinosa <alberto(a)american.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Title: Big Data and Analytics: Pathways to Maturity "The first and original Big Data minitrack at HICSS" This mini track focuses on the use of big data and analytics to enable businesses and organizations to optimize their operational practices, improve their decision-making, and better understand and provide more effective services to their customers and clients. We seek papers in all areas of big data and analytics, including storage, management, education, usage case studies, innovative applications, and enabling technology. Relevant papers on the development of strategy for deploying big data and analytics in distributed organizations, the effects of big data and analytics on organizational behavior, the governance and management of big data, the evaluation of Big Data's contribution to business operations, the development of big data analytics are sought. Papers are sought on developing an analytic cadre, including curriculum concepts, skills and training, and metrics and measurement. In our book titled: "Obtaining Value from Big Data for Service Delivery, 2nd Edition" we presented a knowledge framework to serve as a basis for grounding Big Data and Business Analytics curricula. The framework is composed of key knowledge layers, including: basic foundations (e.g., mathematics, statistics, software programming, big data architectures); analytics/big data (e.g., descriptive, predictive, prescriptive and visual analytics); functional domain of analysis (e.g., marketing, healthcare, accounting forensics, etc.); and managerial, strategic and organizational aspects (e.g., data governance, security, privacy, human resource management, metrics for the business value of big data and analytics investments, etc.). To advance knowledge in big data and analytics, we must develop active research agendas in all four layers. We seek research papers on any of these four layers and also those that address the structure and evaluation of curriculum design, implementation and evaluat ion for big data and analytics. Papers are solicited in several areas, including, but not limited to the following: * Managerial, governance, lifecycle, strategic and organizational aspects of big data and analytics, big data repositories and projects, including data governance * Graph analytics - both syntactic and semantic - that play a big role in the exploitation of social media data * Advanced analytics emphasizing specific functional domains - business, scientific, and social science, visual analytics and non-numeric analysis models and their implementation * Advances in technology - processing, storage, analytics - for the Exabyte/ExaFLOP Age * Scalable semantic annotation and reasoning across big data stores * Metrics to assess the impact of big data in business, scientific, and government decision-making. * Educational and body of knowledge frameworks on big data, analytics and data science. Papers presenting case studies, infrastructure and technology advances, theoretical perspectives and emerging concepts at the petascale and beyond, are also sought. An expanded CfP is available from Steve Kaisler. We especially encourage graduate students to submit papers as well. If you wish to discuss a paper concept before submitting a paper, please contact Steve Kaisler or Frank Armour. We will be happy to discuss your paper concept with you. Key dates: July 15 - Papers due August 23 - Notifications to authors September 22 - Final manuscripts due January 4 - Publications of full conference proceedings Kindly, Minitrack Co-Chairs: Stephen H.
