IS research has witnessed evolutions of different methodologies and methodological paradigms at regular intervals. As upcoming progress in AI is expected to fundamentally transform the very nature of work in all fields, including academia, scholars will have to contemplate its potential integration in their research practices. Some AI-based features have already been implemented in academic research, notably for data selection, sample allocation, and text analytics. There are also machine learning based tools such as iris.ai available for literature review. In that respect, it becomes important to start to reflect on the potential and implications of AI with academic research, as well as our own readiness for the forthcoming integration of AI into our work. This minitrack covers issues related to the design, development, and application of AI-based features for academic research. AI-based features can include using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to review research papers, using automated data modeling tool for empirical analysis, and AI for identifying relationships inherent in a phenomenon. This minitrack also seeks to explore research opportunities and challenges associated with the automation of research, including epistemological, methodological, and ethical implications. Submissions may include research papers (theoretical and/or empirical), as well as design studies, literature reviews, and research commentaries. Topics of interest are related to at least five main themes associated to the integration of AI in research methods, and relevant to the IS community: Integration of AI into traditional research methods and development of new research methods, which will include · Better access to Big Data · Improvement of pattern recognition accuracy · Development of new NLP algorithms for text analysis · Improving predictive and prescriptive power of research models, therefore shifting focus from inferential statistics to prediction · New research directions and opportunities uncovered by AI capabilities including · Improved understanding of existing phenomenon · Exploration of new topics and phenomenon · Discovery of new relationships, hitherto unexplored previously · Quality and evaluation of AI-supported research, including · Integration of design principles to evaluate research tools · Development of new metrics to assess AI-supported research · Ethical considerations related to the use of AI in academic research · Role of the IS field in accompanying AI-based changes in academia Important Dates: • Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST Minitrack Co-Chairs: Mathieu Templier (Primary Contact) Université Laval mathieu.templier(a)fsa.ulaval.ca<mailto:mathieu.templier@fsa.ulaval.ca> Rohit Nishant Université Laval rohit.nishant(a)fsa.ulaval.ca<mailto:rohit.nishant@fsa.ulaval.ca> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - The Bright Side and the Dark Side of Digital Health, Internet Research (SSCI, ABDC 'A' JCR Q1) Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 01:01:59 +0900 From: Young Hoon Chang <younghoonchang(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Internet Research Call for Papers The Bright Side and the Dark Side of Digital Health （ https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.ht… ） Submission due: September 1, 2020 Guest Editors Zhijun Yan - Beijing Institute of Technology, China, yanzhijun(a)bit.edu.cn Roberta Bernardi - University of Bristol, UK, roberta.bernardi(a)bristol.ac.uk Nina (Ni) Huang - Arizona State University, US, nhuang6(a)asu.edu Younghoon Chang - Beijing Institute of Technology, China, younghoonchang(a)bit.edu.cn Overview of Special Issue Digital technology has been transforming how individuals, organizations, and societies use information to improve their decision making on their daily lives and daily operations. In recent years, the healthcare industry has also actively engaged in the adoption of digital technology and enabled the formation of digital health. The digital health covers lots of advanced technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (HIT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, health data analytics and personalized medicine (Lupton 2018). These technologies offer new exciting opportunities to improve medical outcomes, enhance efficiency and balance health resources. In particular, digital health can better collect, process and analyze health-related information, and provide decision support for patients, doctors, healthcare organizations, public health management and medical research (Guha and Kumar 2018). There are many positive and negative issues associated with the use of digital health by these stakeholders. On the one hand, digital health can empower patients to make better decisions about their own health and provide new options for facilitating prevention, early diagnosis, surveillance, management and prediction of chronic conditions outside traditional healthcare settings (Lin et al. 2017). Doctors can also get a more holistic view of patient health through access to data and improve quality of care (Lin et al. 2019). Pharmaceutical companies and digital health companies can also benefit from patient-generated knowledge for the advancement of medical research (Kallinikos and Tempini 2014) and the design of personalized healthcare interventions (Bernardi 2019). On the other hand, the integration of digital technology in the healthcare industry presents risks such as the spread of misinformation (e.g. anti-vax communities, Doty 2015), the disclosure of patients' privacy that could be used by health insurance companies to make discriminatory pricing (McFall and Moor 2018), increased doctors' technical anxiety and slow acceptance of digital health innovation (Bernardi and Exworthy 2019), and health inequalities due to the digital exclusion of patients (Latulippe et al. 2017; Halford and Savage 2010). The healthcare industry is one of the largest and also one of the most important industries for citizens’ wellbeing. Addressing the complexities of today’s various negative and positive healthcare issues requires more than one perspective and needs more interdisciplinary collaboration and research. The rapid development of advanced technologies and methodologies such as social media, Internet of things (IoT) data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) brings lots of opportunities to handle the complicated problems in the healthcare industry. It makes it possible to improve people’s health conditions smartly and comfortably. However, the adoption of digital technology in health care usually lags behind other industries, as some major technological and managerial obstacles still remain (Bunduchi et al. 2015). Obstacles include the lack of health data integration, data overload issues, data privacy and security, and limited or inefficient data visualization (Agarwal et al. 2010). At the same time, academics need to address the issues related to the dark side and potential risks of digital health. This special issue aims to serve as a forum in which healthcare, computer science, management and social science scholars can come together to discuss new emerging issues related to the bright side and the dark side of digital health. It invites submissions from a variety of methodological, theoretical, and multidisciplinary perspectives. Theoretical work that engages critically with the debate about the bright and dark sides of digital health is also welcome. In bringing technical, behavioral, clinical, and managerial perspectives together, this special issue hopes to generate new insights into the design, adoption, utilization, and management of digital health as well as an understanding of its risks and adverse consequences for individuals, organizations, and societies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Participating behavior of digital health • Knowledge sharing and knowledge seeking of online health communities • Knowledge discovery and decision support based on online health communities and clinical decision-making systems • Social and economic return of digital health • Data privacy, trust and security in digital health • Fake information and information fraud in online health communities • Online-offline data integration and analytics • Organizational, operational, clinical and financial implications of digital health • Health, social and economic impact of digital health • Big data analytics and artificial intelligence application • Theories, models and classification frameworks that shed light on the bright side and dark side of digital health • Methods for studying the bright side and dark side of digital health and its impact on individuals, communities (societies) and organizations • Understanding how individuals, communities and organizations can minimize, prevent or respond to the dark side of digital health • Understanding what motivates individuals, communities and organizations to deliberately engage in digital health • Examining the dark side (outcomes, behaviors and practices) that accidently or unintentionally emerge in digital health • The ethics of the dark sides of digital health (especially with recent AI developments and uses in digital health) • Region, sector and industry-focused studies on the bright side and dark side of digital health • Economic impact of digital health on the healthcare industry • The effects of digital health on epidemic or pandemic outbreaks Important dates • Submission due: September 1, 2020 • 1st round review decision: November 30, 2020 • Revised submission due: December 31, 2020 • 2nd round final review decision: January 31, 2021 • Publication: 2021 Special Event – DHA 2020 The guest-editors organize a conference “2nd International Conference on Digital Health and Medical Analysis” in Beijing Institute of Technology on 1-2 July 2020 (https://www.dha2020.org/).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2020 14:34:42 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2021 Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society 1st – 3rd September 2021 NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland www.I3E2021.com<http://www.i3e2021.com/> AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and unintended or negative consequences for individuals and society (cf. Ransbotham et al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These opportunities and consequences have not been evenly distributed. Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered by AI and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns. Ethics permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to use, to how to represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the insights to create economic and social value. Ethical concerns (i.e. illegitimate surveillance, invasion of privacy, unemployment, malicious use etc.) are frequently used to portray AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’. These concerns warrant the attention of the academic community who are in a privileged position within society to raise awareness about the responsible design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT. At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of exclusion and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and communities excluded from the digitised society. For example, digital exclusion is part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a growing phenomenon which carries with it a series of deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor lifelong earnings and an increased risk of marginalisation). There are many who are currently excluded for reasons of low income and education, location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various disabilities (European Commission). Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a comprehensive approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive society. The 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society. To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2021 at NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP SI: Business Analytics for the Management of Information Systems Development Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2020 14:35:29 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special issue call for papers from Information Technology & People Submission deadline: 30th September 2020 Special issue editors: Denis Dennehy, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Email: denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie<mailto:denis.dennehy@nuigalway.ie> Ilias Pappas, University of Agder, Norway Email: ilias.pappas(a)uia.no<mailto:%20ilias.pappas@uia.no> Samuel Fossa Wamba, Toulouse Business School, France Email: s.fosso-wamba(a)tbs-education.fr<mailto:s.fosso-wamba@tbs-education.fr> Katina Michael, Arizona State University, USA Email: katina.michael(a)asu.edu <mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu> <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. Important Dates: • Initial paper submission deadline: 30th September, 2020 • First round authors notification: 30th November, 2020 • Invited revisions deadline: 31st January, 2021 • Second round authors notification: 31st March, 2021 • Final revision deadline: 31st May, 2021 • Final authors notification: 30th June, 2021 • Projected publication date: Winter 2021 Submission Details To view the author guidelines for this journal, please visit: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.… Please submit your manuscript via our review website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itp References Abbasi, A., Sarker, S. and Chiang, R.H., 2016.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 2021 CFP Integration to Digital Platforms and infrastructures Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2020 12:32:46 +0000 From: Samuli Pekkola (TAU) <samuli.pekkola(a)tuni.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ********** ULTIMATE FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ********** Integration to Digital Platforms and infrastructures -minitrack In the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-54) Conference January 5-8 2021 in Grand Hyatt Kauai ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JULY 15, 2020 ********** After a successful minitrack in HICSS-53, we are organizing this minitrack again. As part of the Organisational systems and technology track (http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/organizational-systems-and-technology/), we seek new research describing different issues and solutions in integrating to digital platforms. The submissions can be research papers, case studies, novel designs, or practitioner reports on topics including: * Strategic choices in joining infrastructures * Technology choices in joining infrastructures * Methods for assessing infrastructures when planning either to join or to leave them * Risks of being too dependent of a closed infrastructure * Risks of open infrastructures * Risks of declining or dying infrastructures * Empirical studies and experiences on benefits, risks, challenges or practices in joining or being connected to infrastructures * Systems and software development and development practices when joining infrastructures * IT management practices in the context of digital infrastructures * Organizational consequences of using external infrastructures Evolving digital platforms, or infrastructures, (such as the smart grid, Google services, cloud platforms, Amazon, Facebook, e-health, Internet of Things platforms, etc.) are deeply intertwined to the everyday life of businesses and citizens. We claim that in the future the success of businesses and public sector organizations is dependent on their ability to harness both new technology and its social capacities. These digital capabilities are afforded by the platforms. The platforms are often global, remote, and nearly invisible, and thus they cannot be controlled by people utilizing them. In addition, digital infrastructures may change or evolve, and include unknown security risks and strategic threads. Managing these changes, risks and opportunities is challenging for any local developer, or user, of different kinds of digital products and services. At the same time readily, available global platforms (e.g. Amazon AWS, Google apps, Facebook APIs to name a few) offer enormous power for even the smallest developer and user organizations. The minitrack focuses on actors that do not own or are not able to establish their own infrastructures or platforms. They are often referred to as non-focal actors (Selander et al. 2013). A non-focal actor is at the periphery of a digital platform. The objective is to understand and demonstrate how these local actors can benefit from the strategic use of existing and coming digital infrastructures .The platform is not dependent on a single non-focal actor and, in principle, a non-focal actor may choose to which platforms it connects. However, to survive and succeed in their business, non-focal actors need to integrate to platforms owned and managed by others. Often there are no alternatives, as global platforms have a tendency to form monopolies because of the winner-takes-it-all economics. From the non-focal perspective, the process of development and integration is reactive where most development is done against the changes in the capabilities of the infrastructure, or to provide a match between the infrastructure and the business need (Henfridsson & Bygstad 2013).
