-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: HICSS-54 Mini-track: Human-Robot Interactions Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 12:28:02 +0900 From: Sangseok You <sangyou(a)umich.edu> To: This is the AISWorld List Server <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Mini-track Title: Human-Robot Interactions General Research Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies HICSS-54, January 5-8, 2021 Kauai, Hawaii New Deadline: July 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST Journal Fast-track Opportunity: Information Systems Frontiers, Special Issue on Social Robotics Business and Computing Robots are increasingly being adopted in private and public spaces, leading to a proliferation of human‒robot interactions in the home, workplace, and other public settings. Robots in the home are performing household chores and acting as home companions and home health care providers. Robots at work are fulfilling traditional human roles in logistics, transportation, and manufacturing, serving as both co-workers and supervisors. Robots are also being utilized as tour guides, janitors, and security officers in public spaces such as museums and airports. Although these interactions are often collaborative, they are by no means always cooperative. Robot interactions with humans across this array of roles and settings pose interesting questions to scholars in various fields such as information systems, robotics, psychology, and sociology. Interaction with robots is distinct from that with other artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies in that robots have a physical body that allows them to manifest physical actions. People cannot only talk to robots but also touch and be touched by robots. This distinguishes interactions with robots from interactions with disembodied AI agents, such as voice agents like Siri by Apple and Alexa by Amazon. Thus, research on human‒robot interaction can differ significantly from that of human interaction with disembodied AI agents. The mini-track welcomes research papers that explore human‒robot interaction and robot design at any level (i.e. individual, team, organizational, and societal). This mini-track also covers human‒robot interaction as much as possible beyond the notion of "robots as teammates.” Thus, we encourage submissions that examine many facets of interactions in any context (e.g., homes, work, and public services) and role (e.g., companion, co-worker, boss, and adversary). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Promoting cooperative and collaborative interaction with robots • Examining uncooperative and adversarial human interactions with robots • The role of adoption and appropriation in human‒robot interactions • Empirical studies examining the cognitive, psychological, emotional, and social aspects of human‒robot interactions • The impact of haptic feedback and touch on human‒robot interaction • The role of robot attractiveness on human‒robot interaction • Ethics on human‒robot interactions • Social-emotional models of human‒robot interaction • Theoretical frameworks for human‒robot interaction • Case studies of human‒robot interaction • Design implications for robot interactions at home, work and public spaces • Human-oriented practices that promote human‒robot interactions • New methodological approaches to studying human‒robot interactions Important Dates: • Submission Opens: April 20, 2020 • Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST • Notice of Acceptance: August 23, 2020 • Camera-ready Version Deadline: September 22, 2020 Mini-track Co-Chairs: • Sangseok You, HEC Paris, you(a)hec.fr • Lionel Robert, University of Michigan, lprobert(a)umich.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Machine Learning (ML) on sensor data of human users in the wild poses numerous technical, theoretical, and ethical challenges. Modeling of intelligent adaptive systems in human-computer or human-robot interaction (HCI, HRI) can be based on a broad spectrum of multimodal signals. For example, eye gaze or EEG may reveal cues about a person's focus of attention, and multimodal data from posture, voice, or facial expressions are frequently examined to predict user engagement, affective responses, or impending breakdown of the interaction. In short, multimodal signal processing is essential for the design of more intelligent, adaptive, or even empathic applications and systems in the wild. However, important issues remain largely unresolved: Starting from low-level processing and integration of noisy data streams, over theoretical pitfalls (e.g., concerning the role of context), up to increasingly pressing ethical questions about what artificial systems and ML can and should do. In this workshop, we will provide a forum for discussion of the state-of-the-art in modeling user states from multimodal signals in the wild. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invited Speaker: Tony Belpaeme, Ghent University, Belgium --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We welcome the presentation of evaluation studies, field research, theoretical and interdisciplinary contributions, novel modeling approaches, and insights on the ethical design of intelligent adaptive systems in the wild, including: * Multimodal modeling of emotions and social action tendencies * Multimodal engagement, attention, stress, memory, and workload estimation * Modeling and response estimation with biological signals (e.g., EEG, EDA, EMG, HR) * Eye tracking and shared attention * Studies bridging multimodal research between the laboratory and the wild * Case studies involving rich and dynamic signal modeling * Cognition-adaptive human-computer interfaces * Experiment design for cognitive processes * Ethical perspectives on current Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) * Interdisciplinary collaborations to understand the underpinnings of multimodal data --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission instructions: Submissions of short (4 pages) and long (8 pages) should follow the ACM conference proceedings format. Links to the templates are available on the ACM website (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Each paper will be sent to at least two expert reviewers and will have one of the organizers assigned as editor. Review will be double-blind.

Blockchain was meant to serve as an open ledger for all transactions within a network of users to resolve the double-spend problem by combining peer-to-peer technology with public-key cryptography [1-2]. Literally, a Blockchain, as the name suggests, consists of a chain of blocks of information related to e.g. Bitcoin transactions. How these blocks of information could be added to a Blockchain is governed by a stringent set of protocols that dictates how the validity of each block is verified and stored to ensure that the blocks of information cannot be altered or erased without raising any alarms within the network. The program algorithms and the computational infrastructure of creating, inserting, and using the blocks are considered as the Blockchain technology [2]. It has been widely postulated that Blockchain as a technology has the potential to change the way transactions are conducted in business and even in people’s everyday life and redefine how organizations and societies operate. The application of Blockchain technology is not limited to keeping transaction records of cryptocurrencies, but is increasingly being applied to various environments where protecting and managing digital assets and keeping records of them in immutable forms [2-3] is important. While the Blockchain technology has generated enormous impacts in many aspects of business and our lives, research on the Blockchain technology in the Information Systems discipline is still sparse. In particular, little is known about the technical and organizational factors influencing the technical applications and management decisions in adopting this technology and in how this technology could be utilized in addressing different current and emerging issues. Although we share the enthusiasm for its potential to impact how societies function, we are at the same time, wary of the hype that often comes with new technologies. A look back at earlier research on technological innovations indicates that if there were to be a “Blockchain revolution”, there is still a need to overcome many barriers that could be technological, governmental, organizational, and societal in nature. The goal of this special issue in Information and Management is to foster investigations in Blockchain innovations and to provide an opportunity to assess if and how our earlier knowledge on managing other types of information systems can provide the basis for understanding novel technological, organizational and societal settings involving Blockchain technology. This special issue is focused on contributions that draw upon and contribute to the stock of knowledge within the IS discipline, and incorporate management-oriented approaches into the Blockchain research. The special issue welcomes contributions in the following technological and management themes, but is not limited to them: • Changes to business systems, models, applications, and value creation processes enabled or induced by Blockchain. • Evaluation and governance of Blockchain for compliances. • Blockchain and its implications for managing policy, legislation, ethical, moral, and societal norms. • Transparency, anonymity, information and privacy control, and fairness in next-generation Blockchain • Societal issues related to the use of Blockchain • Financial systems and Blockchain • Supply chains and Blockchain • Blockchain based knowledge and innovation management References: [1] Swan M.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SPECIAL ISSUE ON Group Decision-Making Support Systems for Pandemic Crises - CFP IJDSST Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 15:46:43 +0000 From: Jose Manuel Mora Tavarez <jose.mora(a)edu.uaa.mx> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Fen Wang <Fen.Wang(a)cwu.edu>, jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de <jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de>, Gloria Wren <gwren(a)loyola.edu> SUBMISSION DUE DATE: December 15, 2020 SPECIAL ISSUE ON Group Decision-Making Support Systems for Pandemic Crises International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) https://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-decision-support-s… INTRODUCTION: Group Decision-Making Support Systems (GDMSS) have been widely investigated and used from their origins in the '80s-'90s decades (Huber, 1984; DeSanctis and Gallupe, 1987; Nunamaker et al; 1987; Gray, 1987; Dickson et al., 1993; Fjermestad and Hiltz, 1998), and until nowadays (Gray et al., 2011; Zarate et al., 2013; Mora et al., 2014; Carneiro et al., 2019; Sakka et al., 2019; Ghavami et al., 2019; Aghazadeh and Padoano, 2020). GDMSS have been proposed for supporting critical group decisions demanded from high- social and economic impact events (Belardo and Harrald, 1992; Jefferson and Harrald, 2007; Levy and Taji, 2007; Xu et al., 2015). Furthermore, GDMSS have also supported the group decisions required in the healthcare sector in the last 30 years ago (Hatcher, 1990; Liu et al., 2018). Nowadays, the worldwide COVID-19 crisis with the highest impacts on public health, economic and social dimensions have challenged (Liu et al., 2020) the group decision-making process and GDMSS that can provide effective, efficient and systemic-view support including the impacted health, economic, and social dimensions among other relevant ones (Rehfuess et al., 2019; Portela et al., 2019). Furthermore, relevant studies have reported critical misconceptions on public governmental decisions that occurred due to the utilization of a single pandemic modeling perspective (Ionnadis, 2020), which calls for more systemically designed GDMSS (Luke and Stamatakis, 2012; Araz, 2013). Consequently, whereas there is a vast availability of GDMSS, the COVID-19 crisis has revealed that updated GDMSS concepts, frameworks, methods and technologies (Hevner et al., 2004; Arnott and Pervan, 2014), from a systemic perspective, are required to address effectively, efficiently, and ethically a group decision-making process conducted by policymakers in the context of a pandemic crisis (WHO, 2009; Moghadas et al., 2009; Moberg et al., 2018; Shearer et al., 2020; Squazzoni et al., 2020; Aghazadeh and Padoano, 2020).
