<mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu>Overview of Special Issue
Information Systems Development (ISD) has been part of the intellectual
core of information systems for over 40 years (Obrand et al., 2018;
Sidorova et al., 2008). Its chequered history of successes and failures
has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community
(Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to
improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the
desired effect (Lim et al., 2011). There is anecdotal evidence that
business analytics can help project managers to (i) understand the
dynamics and collective state of complex projects, (ii) detect and
forecast trends, (iii) improve the effectiveness of risk models, (iv)
evaluate the effectiveness of a change to the development process, and
(v) distinguish questions of ‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’
(Davenport et al., 2010).
Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques,
technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that
analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand
its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012,
p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the
technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and
their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to
be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019).
This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a
highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is
continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler
et al., 2017).
This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest
developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business
analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and
other project stakeholders.
Indicative List of Anticipated Themes
This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse
project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different
aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The
following questions are of interest for the special issue:
• How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD
projects?
• What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and
development teams?
• What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with
traditional and agile methods and practices?
• What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to
be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation?
• Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods
and practices less valuable or even obsolete?
• What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to
manage and control ISD projects more effectively?
• How can business analytics enable organisational learning and
innovation in the context of ISD?
• How are business analytics being applied in various types
(distributed, large scale) of ISD projects?
• How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects?
• What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that
need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities?
• How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects?
• What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD
projects?
• How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision
making?
• What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the
implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects?
These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are
intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in
the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from
participants in individual projects through projects, programs,
portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions
that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of
business analytics and ISD project management.

*Description*==================
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues its global devastation, numerous
accompanying challenges emerge. One important challenge is to efficiently
and effectively use recently gathered data and find computational tools to
combat the COVID-19 infodemic. An infodemic is an overabundance of
information – some accurate and some not – occurring during an epidemic.
Rampant conspiracy theories, disinformation, misinformation, and various
types of scams can spread fast by taking advantage of human gullibility,
fear, and ignorance. Therefore, there is a pressing need to manage the
infodemic to help people find trustworthy information and reliable guidance
during this global public health crisis. AI for Good holds a lot of
potential for solving societal problems including combating the infodemic,
while challenges remain. It is important to integrate theories from
different disciplines to help with the COVID-19 crisis.
In this special issue, we provide an interdisciplinary forum for
researchers and practitioners to combat the COVID-19 infodemic. We expect
novel research to study the understanding, detection, mitigation, and
measurement of the COVID-19 infodemic and potential future outbreaks. To
facilitate further research in COVID-19 infodemic, this special issue
welcomes interdisciplinary research articles, new open-access datasets,
repositories, and benchmarks, broadening research on crisis informatics and
its development.
*Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:*
====================================
- Disinformation/misinformation detection and mitigation
- Fact-checking and credibility assessment
- Computational tools to understand, measure and contain infodemic
- Diffusion and intervention of infodemic
- Bias, transparency, and fairness

Aims and Scope
Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) have recently gained much
attention in academia and industry. Well-known examples are
blockchain-based approaches for cryptocurrencies or smart contracts for
the automated, distributed and transparent execution of algorithms
without intermediaries. For introducing these technologies in real-life
enterprise scenarios it is however essential to align them with business
requirements and show their added value. For this purpose, methods of
conceptual modeling can contribute for enabling the communication in
organizations, deriving and aligning requirements for technical
implementations or even creating code that can be executed using DLT. In
this workshop we thus aim to bring together researchers working on the
interface between conceptual modeling and DLT for presenting and
discussing their most recent research results. The workshop will be held
for the second time in the context of the ER'2020 conference in Vienna,
Austria.
Topics for this workshop include but are not limited to the following:
* Domain-specific modeling languages for blockchains and smart contracts
* Modeling the strategy, processes and implementation of decentralized
organizations
* Enterprise architecture models utilizing DLT infrastructure
* Business process and workfow modeling and execution on the blockchain
* Modeling approaches for blockchains, smart contracts and decentralized
applications (DApps)
* Model-driven engineering and generative approaches for blockchains and
smart contracts
* Attestation and identity for blockchains and smart contracts utilizing
conceptual models
* Collaborative modeling approaches using blockchain and DLT infrastructures
* Blockchains and DLT infrastructure for managing, versioning and
collaborating on models
* Privacy, anonymity and data protection for enterprise models supported
by blockchains
* Value creation and supply chain models for decentralized value creation
* Visualization of DLT infrastructure, blockchain transactions and smart

The 2020 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
IFIP WG8.11/WG11.13 Friday October 2 – Saturday October 3, 2020
CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
will continue the efforts to advance the discipline of information
systems security through the creation, dissemination, and preservation
of well-formed research, following the success of the first eleven
Information Systems Security Research Workshops (University of Cape
Town, 2009; Bentley University, 2010; Virginia Tech, 2011; Brigham Young
University, 2012; University at Buffalo, 2013; Newcastle University,
2014; University of Delaware, 2015; University of New Mexico, 2016;
University of South Florida, 2017; University of Cape Town, 2018;
Louisiana Tech University, 2019).
The active discussions in the workshop are intended to provide
participants specific and actionable feedback on their research. We
anticipate that this process will facilitate the successful development
of workshop papers for further consideration at important journals (See
https://ifip.byu.edu/ for past DRW papers which have been published in
journals). High quality papers will be fast tracked to the AIS
Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction. Selection for the workshop
is competitive, and only authors of the accepted papers and the active
working group members will be invited to participate.
Anchoring the workshop to information systems means that the research
will attend to and extend the social, organizational, and managerial
literature in the focal area. Note that this is not an appropriate venue
for papers with a purely technical, design-science, or econometric
approach. While we assume an effective foundation in information
security technology, we regard information systems risk broadly, for
example, computer crime, employee misconduct, cyber warfare, cyber
terrorism, human error and/or accident, natural events, etc. We also
address information systems security broadly, for example, policies and
policy compliance, diverse security behaviors, privacy, awareness,
strategy, audit, planning and control. These and related research topics
will be the focus of this workshop.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The 2020 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
• Theoretical and empirical analyses of information security behavior
• Adoption, use, and continuance of information security technologies
and policies
• Compliance with information security and privacy policies, procedures,
and regulations
• Investigations of computer crime and security violations
• Motivators and inhibitors of employee computer crime
• Forensic analysis of security breaches and computer crimes
• Individual, organizational, and group information privacy concerns and
behaviors
• Legal, societal, and ethical issues in information security
• Neurosecurity (NeuroIS) investigations of information security behavior
• Behavioral analyses of design science treatments enhancing or
balancing security and privacy tradeoffs

Manuscripts will be prescreened by the program chairs to ensure that all
papers sent to reviewers are reasonably complete, well-formed, and
appropriate to the scope and mission of the workshop. Double blind
reviews will follow for prescreened papers. No requirement on paper
length or formatting style. Authors should designate below the title
whether the manuscript is being submitted as “early stage” or “completed
papers.” Manuscripts must be anonymous for the review process.
In recognition that the review process greatly relies upon a scarce
resource of the services of reviewers, authors, by the act of
submission, are implicitly promising to serve as a reviewer on one to
two conference papers, if requested.

CALL FOR PAPERS
ModComp'20 (at MoDELS): 7th International Workshop on Interplay of
Model-Driven and Component-Based Software Engineering
http://www.es.mdh.se/ModComp/
-----------------
IMPORTANT DATES
-----------------
Deadline for papers submission: 26 July, 2020
Notification of acceptance: 21 August, 2020
Camera ready: 28 August, 2020
Online pre-proceedings: 01 October, 2020
Workshop date (TBD): 18-20 October, 2020
-----------------
SCOPE
-----------------
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and Component-Based Software
Engineering (CBSE) have been shown to effectively reduce software
development complexity by (i) shifting the focus from source code to
models and (ii) building software systems as the composition of new
and existing components, respectively. Moreover, the interplay of MDE
and CBSE approaches is gaining recognition as a very promising means
to boost the development of software systems by reducing costs and
risks and shorten time-to-market.
While several attempts to effectively combine MDE and CBSE have been
documented, there are still unsolved clashes arising when exploiting
interplay of MDE and CBSE, mostly due to mismatches in the related
terminology as well as to differences in their basic essence.
As a satellite event of MoDELS'20, the goal of ModComp’20 is to gather
researchers and practitioners to share opinions, propose solutions to
open challenges and generally explore the frontiers of interweaving
between MDE and CBSE.
-----------------
TOPICS
-----------------
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:
- Partial model reuse and composition: once individual components are
modelled (interfaces and behavior), these models should be reusable in
the different usage contexts of these components. Moreover, it should
be possible to build a system model by composition of pre-existing
models of individual components;
- Component/module-based versioning: in order to handle evolution when
for instance one component is upgraded to a newer version;
- Modelling component interaction and component behaviours: clear
separation of internal behaviour and externally visible interaction
capabilities, e.g. by interface protocols;
- Model extraction for componentization of legacy systems: when legacy
systems are componentized, generation of architectural and behavioural
models from, e.g., implementation artefacts is needed in order to get
full support from model-based activities such as analysis, e.g. if
those components are reused in a new context. Along with
implementation artefacts, other kinds of information regarding any
observation of the system at runtime, such as, e.g., log files, system
execution traces, traces, might need to be considered for reverse
componentization;
- Component interoperability: in order to enable the automated
construction of semantic matching and mapping between different
modelling notations (e.g., component models) with emphasis on precise
syntactic, protocol and operational descriptions of components;
- Management and elicitation of modular interdependencies in models:
to infer and support automated reasoning on the possible
interdependencies between the different software models exploited
throughout the software life cycle;
- Evolution of component models: tackling challenges in component
models evolution and model co-evolution which are amplified by the
high degree of interchangeability typical of CBSE;
- Model transformations in presence of third-party components:
exploring how model-driven techniques may deal with third-party
components, especially concerning the preservation of system
properties (both functional and extra-functional) along the involved
model manipulations for e.g. analysis, code generation, etc;
- (Meta)model and model transformation modularity: reasoning on issues
related to composability of (i) metamodels, (ii) views in terms of
(meta)model portions, (iii) transformation portions from different
languages, and (iv) transformation rules;
- Composition of (meta)models and model transformations: model
transformations, and/or (meta)model viewpoints could take advantage of
CBSE advancements in order to ease their reuse, and composition;
- Enforcement of incrementality: models and model manipulations to
support incremental verification and validation of component-based
systems;
- Case studies, applications, tool demo: best practices applied to
real world applications, lessons learned, success/failure stories in
intertwining MDE and CBSE.
-----------------
SUBMISSION
-----------------
ModComp'20 welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool
presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research
contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest.
Two types of submission are solicited: full and short papers.
- Full papers: with a maximum of 10 pages, including figures,
appendices AND references), full papers clearly describe the situation
or the problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or
solution suggested and the potential benefits of the contribution.
Systematic and empirical reports are welcome too.
- Short papers: with a maximum of 5 pages, including figures,
appendices AND references, short papers include tool demonstrations,
position papers, industrial experiences and case-studies,
well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers. Tools in
demonstrations should be made available for use to the reviewers.
Contributions should represent original and previously unpublished
ideas that are currently not under review in any conference or
journal. Each submitted paper undergoes a formal peer review process
by a minimum of 3 Program Committee members. Submitted papers should
include authors' names, affiliations and contact information.
Special issue at SoSyM: We plan to organize a theme issue at SoSyM to
which the best papers from the workshop will be invited for being
submitted in extended form. The extended papers would undergo a new
peer-reviewing process.
