STIR’21 solicits papers that use social theory in IS research drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical theory, social informatics, and organizational theory. We are interested in highlighting research that critically examines the constitution of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and their roles in communities, organizations, and society. We are particularly interested in research that addresses the main theme of the conference “Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship.” We seek work that is innovative in terms of multi- and trans-disciplinary uses of social theory and methodologies to study ways in which people are using technology to transform or create innovative digital organizations, engage in digital entrepreneurship, and work that focuses on the sociotechnical impacts of new and emerging technologies on people in their organizational and social lives across social and technical boundaries We welcome papers that are innovative in terms of multi- and trans-disciplinary uses of social theory and methodologies to study ways in which people are using technology to transform or create innovative digital organizations, engage in digital entrepreneurship, and work that focuses on digital innovations pre, during and post global pandemic; the changing roles of ICTs from planning for utopian futures to responding to current dystopian times; the intended and unintended consequences of the use of ICTs, social media platforms, or synchronous videoconferencing tools. Of equal interest are the sociotechical implications of the ways in which people are leveraging digital innovation and entrepreneurship to find new ways of doing things in the private, public, and not-for profit sectors. Issues might include critical examinations of the shifting boundaries between the online and offline worlds, producers and consumers, and people and ICTs. They might also include the social impacts of digital innovation and entrepreneurship within and between organizations. The STIR minitrack has been exploring new frontiers in information systems research for years and we look forward helping you present your work at the conference. Suggested Topics In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to study and understand: • The implications of new ways of “doing business” for organizations and social groups in times of pandemic and economic uncertainty • Conceptual and empirical work focusing on the ways digital innovation and entrepreneurship can promote or hinder social inclusion • The relationships between ICTs and people as they participate in online communities and virtual teams • Online communities of practice, their roles, processes, and outcomes • Unintended consequences of the uses of technologies such as social media, or synchronous videoconferencing tools and their use in education, organizations, and in social life • Scientific collaboration and scholarly communication as enabled and constrained by ICTs • The impacts of social computing on our social and work lives broadly and during a pandemic This year we are proud to celebrate the 24th year of the Social Theory in Information Systems Research minitrack. Since 1996, scholars and researchers have presented cutting edge research, using social theory in their work.

Big Data has become important in practice, as many organizations have been collecting massive amounts of data that can contain useful information for business analysis and decisions, impacting existing and future technology. A key benefit of Deep Learning is the ability to process these data and extract high-level complex abstractions as data representations, making it a valuable tool for Big Data Analytics where raw data is largely unlabeled. Machine-learning and artificial intelligence are pervasive in most real-world applications scenarios such as computer vision, information retrieval and summarization from structured and unstructured multimodal data sources, natural language understanding and translation, and many other application domains. Deep learning approaches, leveraging on big data, are outperforming state-of-the-art more “classical” supervised and unsupervised approaches, directly learning relevant features and data representations without requiring explicit domain knowledge or human feature engineering. These approaches are currently highly important in IoT applications. *DeLTA is organized in 5 major tracks: * 1 - Models and Algorithms <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx#A1> 2 - Machine Learning <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx#A2> 3 - Big Data Analytics <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx#A3> 4 - Computer Vision Applications <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx#A4> 5 - Natural Language Understanding <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx#A5> *Conference Chair(s) <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/EventChairs.aspx#conference_chair>* Kurosh Madani, University of Paris-EST Créteil (UPEC), France *Program Chair(s) <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/ProgramCommittee.aspx#program_chair>* Carlo Sansone, University of Naples Federico II, Italy Ana Fred, Instituto de Telecomunicações and University of Lisbon, Portugal *In Cooperation with * International Neural Network Society Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers: Matias Carrasco Kind <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#1>, University Illinois Urbana Champaign, United States Barbara Caputo <http://www.delta.scitevents.org/KeynoteSpeakers.aspx#3>, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Proceedings will be submitted for *indexation by: * SCOPUS Google Scholar The DBLP Computer Science Bibliography Semantic Scholar Microsoft Academic Engineering Index (EI) Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer <https://www.springer.com/gp/> in a CCIS Series book.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society

13 Jan '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 17:04:49 +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. All papers must not simultaneously be submitted to another journal or conference. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Smart Cities (Government, Communities & Regions) Track | EGOV2021: EGOV-CeDEM-ePart 2021 conference | Deadline 19 March 2021 Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 10:37:45 +0000 From: Karin Axelsson <karin.axelsson(a)liu.se> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> EGOV2021: EGOV-CeDEM-ePart 2021 conference Smart Cities (Government, Communities & Regions) Track All aspects of smart cities and smart governance, including frameworks, policies, and the use of technology University of Granada Spain, September 7-9, 2021 The pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation pushing cities towards a mandatory digital transition to a touchless economy. Unsurprisingly, cities with greater digital maturity maintained their normal activities more easily showing greater resilience to changes. Digital technologies such as IoT, Clouding Computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality and Blockchain allowed them to develop more resilient service management systems and supply chains. The digital data was used to make complex analyzes, forecasts, prescriptions resulting in cities more agile and adaptable. More than ever smart and connected communities are need to deal with these times of uncertainty. Knowledgeable communities capable of integrating technologies with the natural environment to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of citizens within cities. The literature on smart cities and communities is dispersed among several areas of knowledge, resulting in a lack of a multi-domain holist view and strategy to achieve the ambitioned smartness. Although there is not just one path for a city to become smart, because different territories have their particular circumstances, having a common approach for achieving it is fundamental to guide decision-makers in this transformation. It is widely recognized that technology plays an important role in connecting institutions, governments, and citizens. Connectivity is an essential element to increase communications between institutions and citizen participation. Smart applications and services can make our life easier; however, technology also brings big challenges with it such as the digital divide, privacy, and security issues. This track aims at exploring these issues, paying particular attention to the challenges of smart cities and smart communities as well as to the impact of these initiatives. It also aims at focusing on the orchestrated interplay and balance of smart governance practices, smart public administration, smart communities, smart resources, and talent advantage in urban, rural, and regional spaces facilitated by novel uses of ICT and other technologies. As a result, areas of focus and interest to this track include, but are not limited, to the following topics: * Smart governance as the foundation to creating smart urban and regional spaces (elements, prerequisites, and principles of smart governance) * Smart government (focal areas, current practices, cases, and potential pitfalls) * Smart partnerships and smart communities (triple/quadruple helix, public-private partnerships, and citizen participation) * Smart cities and regions (cases, indicators, assessment, rankings, comparisons, and critical success factors) * Collective intelligence for smart cities and communities (smart ideas and solutions for smart cities) * Emerging technologies implementation in cities to face and manage pandemic situations (big data, open data, data analytics, social media and networks, Blockchain technologies, etc) * AI and IoT as an enabler for Smart Communities/Smart Cities (infrastructure, transportation, citizen participation, education, governance, environment, health care, safety, security, and energy) * AI in smart city design and operation * Integrative research that addresses the technological and social dimensions of smart and connected communities * Smart grids * Smart environment and transportation (carbonless and clean individual and public mobility) * Smart devices and their novel use in public management * Smart (technology-facilitated) practices such as payment systems, identification systems, etc. * New cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities in smart technologies * SMART as a public-sector planning and management principle (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Results-based, and Time-bound) * Smart university and education * Quality of life issues in smart cities and smart communities * Urban-rural gaps in smart communities * Citizen participation in smart cities using new technologies as chatbots or blockchain. * Innovation and creativity in smart society development IMPORTANT DATES · (Hard) deadline for submissions (anonymous- camera ready): 19 March 2021 · Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2021 · PhD Colloquium deadline for submissions: May 3, 2021 · Poster submission deadline (non-anonymous-camera ready): 15 May 2021 · Poster acceptance 31 May 2021 · Camera-ready paper submission and author registration: 15 June 2021 · PhD Colloquium notification of acceptance: 15 June 2021 · PhD Colloquium final version: 31 July 2021 · PhD Colloquium: 6 September 2021 · Conference: 7-9 September 2021 Track Chairs * Prof. Nuno Lopes (Lead), DTx: Digital Transformation Colab, Portugal * Prof. Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar University of Granada, Spain * Prof. Karin Axelsson, Linköping University, Sweden Best regards Karin Axelsson Professor in Information Systems [signature_385010071] Department of management and engineering Division of Information Systems and Digitalization S-581 83 Linköping Phone: +46 (0)13-28 40 53 Mobile: +46 (0)702-174053 Visiting address: Hus A, 2A, rum 829, Campus Valla Please visit us at www.liu.se<http://www.liu.se/>

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] i-com CfP: Special Issue on E-Government and Smart Cities Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 20:00:04 +0100 From: heine(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de Reply-To: heine(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu CALL FOR PAPERS: i-com – Journal of Interactive Media https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/105 https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/icom Special Issue on E-Government and Smart Cities ** Submission Deadline: Mar 31, 2021 ** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Motivation and Scope ----------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread adoption of online services, mobile and pervasive computing, and social media has changed citizens’ attitudes and expectations towards government, citizen participation, and the efficiency of public administration. In light of new technological opportunities and challenges, public administrations are expanding their digital services in all fields of action. This includes classic e-government offers, such as applications for social benefits or building permits, but also solutions in the context of smart cities, urban sensing, and connected rural communities that rely on active participation, communication, and cooperation among citizens. Ideally, such new technologies will help citizens and civil servants to become efficient users of government services, consentful providers and informed users of government or city data, participants of constructive discourse, and informed decision makers. However, in practice, these goals are difficult to meet due to problems with the acceptance, availability, usability, and practical usefulness of new digital technologies and their application. ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS ----------------------------------------------------------------- The relationship between citizens and public administrations has specific characteristics. Public services have a profound impact on the life of individuals and society. While the requirements for usability and user experience are not fundamentally different in the public sector compared to other areas, there are existential dependencies, for example against the background of security and order, protection, and welfare. On the other hand, public administrations are also accountable to citizens. Therefore, a key challenge is the human-centred design of new e-government and smart city services and answering key questions such as: How can e-government or smart city services be designed to achieve sufficient usability and a positive user experience (especially with regard to trust, transparency, reliability) for all conceivable user groups? How can designers avoid that no one is excluded from government services and participatory platforms? How can e-government and smart city solutions be evaluated concerning usability and user experience? How can services provide usable and human-centered applications while, at the same time, the regulatory framework needs to be correctly represented? How can we harness the “bottom-up” creativity and innovative forces of civic hackers, citzen-led projects, and DIY initiatives, while also achieving the reliability and accountability of traditional “top-down” frameworks such as large IT or telecommunication cooperations? How can we make citizens, public administration employees and other users curious about (or challenge them with) new civic technologies? How can we educate citizens and public administration employees about e- government and smart city technologies and let them become active users or even active developers? How can we enable citizens to actively control their level of participation, e.g., by enabling them to opt-in and opt-out of data collection and by letting them control their desired degree of privacy and anonymity? We welcome contributions that address these and relatedinterdisciplinary submissions. Accepted articles will be published in the Journal of Interactive Media (i-com). The journal is indexed by Scopus, among others. -------------------------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS -------------------------------------------------------------- Moreen Heine, University of Luebeck, Professor of eGovernment and Open Data Ecosystems, Institute for Multimedia and Interactive Systems (IMIS) Hans-Christian Jetter, University of Luebeck, Professor of Interaction Design and User Experience, Institute for Multimedia and Interactive Systems (IMIS) ---------------------------------------------------------------- TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- 28.02.2021 Submission Deadline Abstracts 31.03.2021 Submission Deadline 31.04.2021 Review results 21.05.2021 Revisions due 31.05.2021 Final Decision ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS ----------------------------------------------------------------- All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 17:04:20 +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.
