-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AIOPS 2020 (Call for Papers) Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2020 15:36:37 +0000 From: Bogatinovski, Jasmin <jasmin.bogatinovski(a)tu-berlin.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear researcher, we are very excited to announce the organization of the International Workshop for AIOPS (AIOPS2020). Following the ever greatest interest in that area, we are strongly devoted to the appearance of high-quality research papers aiming to depict the landscape for our community. Our goal is to bring the community together, identify the most relevant problems and open a possibility for further collaborations. To further confirm our strong interest, we choose to collocate the workshop with the A-ranked ICSOC (International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing) 2020, Dubai, UAE, 14-17.12.2020. Therefore, we announce our call for research papers, looking for novel and innovative methods in the area of artificial intelligence in the field system operation. More information can be found at https://aiopsworkshop.github.io/ Submissions are now open at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiops2020 The official Call for Papers can be found at: https://easychair.org/cfp/AIOPS2020 Abstract registration deadline: August 8, 2020 Submission deadline: August 16, 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------- *CFP* Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centres, cloud computing environments, edge clouds, IoT and embedded environments, are becoming more and more complex. Managing such systems only with human resources puts an enormous burden on the operators and scales poorly from an economic perspective. To mitigate this issue IT operators increasingly rely on tools from artificial intelligence for assistance. Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is an emerging field arising in the intersection between the research areas of machine learning, big data and streaming analytics, and the management of IT operations. The main aim is to analyze system information of different kinds (metrics, logs, customer input, etc) to support administrators by optimizing various objectives like prevention of SLA violation, early anomaly detection and auto-remediation, energy-efficient system operation, providing optimal QoE for customers, predictive maintenance and many more. In this field, a constantly growing interest can be observed, and thus, practical tools are developed from both the academy and industry sectors. As a result, AIOps progress towards a future standard for IT operation management. However, the combination of previously separate research fields brings many challenges. Novel modeling techniques are needed that help to understand the dynamics of different systems, laying out the basis for assessing time horizons and uncertainty for imminent SLA violations, the early detection of emerging problems, autonomous remediation, decision making, and support, and various optimization objectives. Furthermore, a good understanding and interpretability of these aiding models are especially important for building trust between the employed tools and the domain experts. This will result in faster adoption of AIOps and further increase the interest in this research field. The main aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to present their experiences, results, and work in progress in this field. We want to strengthen the community and unite it towards the goal of joining the efforts for solving the main challenges the field is currently facing. A consensus and adoption of the principles of openness and reproducibility will boost the research in this emerging area significantly. List of topics: Early anomaly, fault and failure (AFF) detection and analysis Self-healing, self-correction and auto-remediation Self-adaptive time-series based models for prognostics and forecasting AFF identification, localization, and isolation Root cause analysis Adaptive fault tolerance policies Forecasting of hardware and process quality Decision support Planning under uncertainty Predictive and prescriptive maintenance Maintenance scheduling and on-demand maintenance planning Fault-tolerant system control Reliability and quality assurance Autonomic process optimization Energy-efficient cloud operation Autonomous service provisioning Explainable AI for Systems Visual analytics and interactive machine learning Active and life-long learning Information and communication models for AIOps systems Platforms: Time-series DBs, Streaming, Data Lakes AI platforms for AIOps Design of experiment (DoE) for different use-cases, testbeds, evaluation scenarios Each paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee for ensuring high quality. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] [CfP] EELP 2020 - The Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 17:10:28 +0200 From: Laura Pandolfo <lpandolfo(a)uniss.it> Reply-To: Laura Pandolfo <lpandolfo(a)uniss.it> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS EELP 2020 The Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming September 18-24, 2020 Rende, Italy https://www.semsys.aau.at/events/eelp2020/ ============================================================================== AFFILIATION This workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2020. In keeping with the main conference, the workshop will be held as a fully virtual event this year. AIMS AND SCOPE Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - Semantics of epistemic operators in logic programming - New methods for solving epistemic extensions of logic programs - Computational properties of epistemic extensions of logic programs - Relating epistemic extensions of logic programs with other logic-based formalisms - Practical applications of logic programming extended with epistemic extensions - Additional language features - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving epistemic extensions of logic programming - Evaluation and comparison of logic programs with epistemic extensions to other paradigms - Grounding of non-ground logic programs programs with epistemic extensions SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We welcome two categories of submissions: - Full Papers, that is, original, unpublished research (at most 15 pages), and - Extended Abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages). All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The submission page is available here:http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eelp2020. EELP is a non-archival venue and there will be no published proceedings. However, informal proceedings will be provided and the papers will be posted informally on the workshop website. Submissions to other conferences and journals both in parallel and subsequent to EELP 2020 are allowed.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 18:39:40 +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. Theoretical and empirical papers employing quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed. Submission Guidelines Authors should submit original, unpublished research papers.

Fwd: [AISWorld] HICSS Minitrack Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS Minitrack Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 16:01:34 +0000 From: Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L <Sirkka.Jarvenpaa(a)mccombs.utexas.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Minitrack: Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations TRACK: ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY 05-08 January, 2021 Grand Hyatt Kauai http://hicss.hawaii.edu Within the 54th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on "Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations". The 54th HICSS, one of the most prominent conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held January 05-08, 2021 at Grand Hyatt Kauai (http://hicss.hawaii.edu)<about:blank>. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the relationship of humans and machines in organizations. AI is already widely used to enhance organizational efficiency by automating simple work tasks previously conducted by humans. Furthermore, organizations are increasingly exploring AI to enhance organizational effectiveness. For example, by drawing on large datasets, AI is applied in decision making, problem-solving, reasoning, learning and creativity in various organizational functions including HR, production, finance, marketing, logistics and innovation. Despite the current rapid development of relevant technologies uncertainty prevails of the real benefits and value created by AI. For example, opaque AI computations can hardly be explained to internal or external stakeholders, potentially resulting in outcomes that can hardly be trusted. The discussion of whether AI will create a utopia or dystopia for organizations and their employees prevails. Trust is highly relevant for understanding the adoption and related risks and opportunities of AI in contemporary organizations. Until recently, research on trust has been dominated by the conceptual and empirical assessment of organisational and interpersonal trust. However, the sources and referents of trust, and the trust mechanisms that shape trusting beliefs and behavior are becoming more diverse, and increasingly including complex technological referents - such as AI - as well as the trust mechanisms that shape trusting beliefs and behavior. In this mini-track, we aim to focus the relationship of trust and AI in organizations. How do new advancements in AI change the way we trust, and trust-related processes in organizations? What forms will trust take in the context of intelligent systems being implemented by organizations? How do decision makers interpret and build trust in AI applications? When and how do trust in AI, trust in organizations, trust in humans, and trust in technology augment or substitute each other? How can we conceptualize and measure trust in AI? What shapes trust in AI and its consequences for organizations? What are the various risks and vulnerabilities to trust imposed by emerging algorithmic capabilities, cloud-based platforms, complex platform infrastructures, and highly distributed peer-to-peer systems? AI development and adoption requires interdisciplinary and cross-border collaboration among analytics experts, software developers, business and users. What kind of challenges and opportunities are involved in augmented intelligence and related decision-making from an organizational perspective? In what conditions do decision makers/managers/employees trust in AI, and when in human knowledge? Is it possible that human-like AI systems exacerbate rather than compensate weaknesses common in trust assessments made in contemporary organizations? We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding by addressing the cross-section of the two topic areas (1) trust research and (2) artificial intelligence in organizations. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and/or theory. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following: * Understanding the role of AI and trust in complex organizational decision making * How do AI-powered algorithmic management practices implemented by organizations affect employee trust? * Understanding the role of trust in the development and implementation of the algorithmic cycle in organizations, e.g., functions, openness of coding, data collection and implementation of new services * Understanding trust relationships between individuals, organizations, and emerging technologies, e.g., personal robots, smart toys, wearables, personal voice assistants, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, drones. * How can organizations increase trust in opaque black-box AI algorithms? * How can organizations maintain employee trust when introducing robots substituting or augmenting employee work tasks? * Understanding trust in AI in teams, problem solving and creative work * When and how could AI as supervisor or team member build employee trust? * How can organizations manage bias and maintain stakeholder trust in AI-enabled decision-making? * How do norms and policies at organizational and/or institutional level influence trust in organizational AI development and adoption?

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] PhD in Information Systems/Business Engineering — Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) - School of Industrial Engineering Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 18:04:18 +0200 From: Oktay Turetken <o.turetken(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org The School of Industrial Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has a vacancy for a PhD student in Information Systems/Business Engineering. More information: https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/phd-in-information-systems-business-engineer… ====== The PhD project will be conducted at Eindhoven University of Technology, one of the world’s leading research universities. It is well-known for its joint research with industry. The research will be conducted at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences (IE&IS), embedded within the Research Group of Information Systems (IS). The IS Group studies concepts, methods, techniques, and tools for the design, optimization, innovation, and data-driven analysis of information systems within business networks and society. It operates in both a strong international research network and an extensive international industry network, particularly in the domains of mobility, health, services, supply chains and logistics, and high-tech manufacturing. ====== *Research Project* The PhD project will focus on the design and application of concepts, methods, tools, or theories in either one of the broad research areas of business process management, service systems engineering, or digital business and platforms. In particular, two alternative research topics are considered (which will be decided based on the candidate’s interest and background). The first one focuses on the governance models for digital platforms. Digital platforms (such as Amazon, App Store, Airbnb, Uber, App Store, Twitter) are transforming economies with new business models. Simply put, digital platforms are socio-technical systems that allow multiple actors - including providers and customers- to interact to co-create value. The PhD candidate will investigate governance models for digital platforms particularly in the mobility domain and will have the opportunity to collaborate with a number of industry partners in a European-Union (EU) funded project.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd FashionXRecsys Workshop - RecSys Conference - 26th September Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 12:01:07 +0000 From: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> Reply-To: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> *FashionXRecsys* - Workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion *In conjunction with ACM RecSys 2020 (26th September 2020)* https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2020/ ***Important Note*** Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its physical component and go fully virtual. We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2nd workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion (FashionXRecsys) that will be held on September 26th, 2020. Online Fashion retailers have significantly increased in popularity over the last decade, making it possible for customers to explore hundreds of thousands of products without the need to visit multiple stores or stand in long queues for checkout. However, the customers still face several hurdles with current online shopping solutions. For example, customers often feel overwhelmed with the large selection of the assortment and brands. In addition, there is still a lack of effective suggestions capable of satisfying customers’ style preferences, or size and fit needs, necessary to enable them in their decision-making process. In this context, recommender systems are very well positioned to play a crucial role in creating a great customer experience in fashion. Moreover, in recent years social shopping in fashion has surfaced, thanks to platforms such as Instagram, providing a very interesting opportunity that allows to explore fashion in radically new ways. Such recent developments provide exciting challenges for the Recommender Systems and Machine Learning research communities. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fashion, recommendations and machine learning domains to discuss open problems in the aforementioned areas. This involves addressing interdisciplinary problems with all of the challenges it entails. Within this workshop we aim to start the conversation among professionals in the fashion and e-commerce industries and recommender systems scientists, and create a new space for collaboration between these communities necessary for tackling these deep problems. To provide rich opportunities to share opinions and experience in such an emerging field, we will accept paper submissions on established and novel ideas, as well as new interactive participation formats. *Suggested topics for submissions are (but not limited to):* * Computer vision in Fashion (image classification, semantic segmentation, object detection) * Deep learning in recommendation systems for Fashion * Learning and application of fashion style (personalized style, implicit and explicit preferences, budget, social behaviour, etc) * Size and Fit recommendations through mining customers implicit and explicit size and fit preferences * Modelling articles and brands size and fit similarity * Usage of ontologies and article metadata in fashion and retail (NLP, social mining, search) * Addressing cold-start problem both for items and users in fashion recommendation * Knowledge transfer in multi-domain fashion recommendation systems * Hybrid recommendations on customers’ history and on-line behavior * Multi- or Cross- domain recommendations (social media and online shops) * Privacy preserving techniques for customer’s preferences tracing * Understanding social and psychological factors and impacts of influence on users’ fashion choices (such as Instagram, influencers, etc.) In order to encourage the reproducibility of research work presented in the workshop, we put together a list of open datasets in the fashionXrecsys website <https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2020/#datasets>. All submissions that present their work using at least one of the listed datasets will be considered for the best paper, best student paper and best demo awards, which will be given by workshop sponsors. *Important Dates * ** Paper Submission deadline:* July 29th, 2020 ** Author notification:* August 21st, 2020 ** Camera-ready version deadline: *September 4th,2020 All deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. *Paper Submission Instructions * * All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically via EasyChair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fashionxrecsys2020 * Submissions should be prepared according to the ACM RecSys format <https://recsys.acm.org/recsys20/call/>. Long papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 14 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. For short papers, the maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. * The peer review process is double-blind (i.e. anonymised). All submissions must not include information identifying the authors or their organisation. Specifically, do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, anonymise citations to your previous work and avoid providing any other information that would allow to identify the authors, such as acknowledgments and funding. However, it is acceptable to explicitly refer in the paper to the companies or organizations that provided datasets, hosted experiments or deployed solutions, if specifically necessary for understanding the work described in the paper. * Submitted work should be original. However, technical reports or ArXiv disclosure prior to or simultaneous with the workshop submission, is allowed, provided they are not peer-reviewed. * The organizers also encourage authors to make their code and datasets publicly available. * Accepted contributions are given either an oral or poster presentation slot at the workshop. At least one author of every accepted contribution must attend the workshop and present their work. Please contact the workshop organization if none of the authors will be able to attend. * All accepted papers will be available through the program website <https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2020/>, and will be published in a special Springer Journal issue. *Additional Submission Instructions for Demos * The description of the demo should be prepared according to the standard double-column ACM SIG proceedings format <http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> with a one page limit. The submission should include: * An overview of the algorithm or system that is the core of the demo, including citations to any publications that support the work. * A discussion of the purpose and the novelty of the demo. * A description of the required setup. If the system will feature an installable component (e.g., mobile app) or website for users to use throughout or after the conference, please mention this. * A link to a narrated screen capture of your system in action, ideally a video. (This section will be removed for the camera-ready version of accepted contributions.)
