Fwd: [fai-saso] CfP: 'Lifelike Computing Systems' Special Issue in the Artificial Life journal

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [fai-saso] CfP: 'Lifelike Computing Systems' Special Issue in the Artificial Life journal Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 15:39:20 +0000 From: LIFELIKE Computing Systems <lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com> Reply-To: LIFELIKE Computing Systems <lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com> To: fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de <fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de> ** Lifelike Computing Systems ** Special issue of the Artificial Life Journal This special issue will focus on ‘lifelike computing systems’: how we can learn from the study of life and living systems to develop new, practical, and valuable computing systems that possess lifelike properties. * Submission, Timeline & Review Process * Accepted papers will be published by MIT Press in a special issue of the Artificial Life journal. Expression of Interest: 1 December 2021 (optional, but helps the review process) Paper Submission Deadline: 31 March 2022 Initial Reviews Returned by: 31 July 2022 Anticipated Publication Date: Spring 2023 Please submit your expressions of interest and manuscripts by email to lifelikecs(a)protonmail.com. All submissions will receive a minimum of two reviews, with at least one reviewer from an ALife background and another reviewer with an engineering or systems background. * What are Lifelike Computing Systems? * The Lifelike Computing Systems initiative [1] aims to learn from the study of life and living systems to develop new, practical, computing systems that possess ‘lifelike' properties; a further goal is to identify when such complex features are of particular value to people, society, and the world. The initiative's focus lies primarily on engineered technological systems broadly within the domain of computing. The notion of ‘lifelike computing’ [2] is not intended to separate itself from or replace previous initiatives; in a large number of cases, there are already technologies and research efforts that strongly lean towards lifelike computing systems in specific aspects. Building on a long and highly successful tradition in biologically-inspired computing, the ‘lifelike’ vision not only seeks inspiration in the living world, but also seeks to replicate its qualities explicitly in technological systems. Indeed, we cannot claim that all bio-inspired systems remain lifelike, nor has this in-general even always a desirable outcome for those designing bio-inspired systems. The agenda also goes beyond fundamental ALife research, often rightly exploratory in nature, since it focuses explicitly on building purposeful and reliable technological systems for people, based on ALife principles. Therefore, the vision of explicit replication of lifelike qualities in technological systems of value to humanity, marks a sharpening of focus. In this special issue of the Artificial Life journal, we welcome submissions that explore and contribute to the discussion on questions such as: - Which qualities of life are of high relevance and benefit for the engineering of lifelike computing systems useful to people? Why? And how? - How can we integrate and combine insights and methodological approaches from existing, related research initiatives such as cybernetics, self-aware computing, organic computing, or autonomic computing? - Which methods from domains such as artificial life, bio-inspired computing, artificial intelligence, self-adaptive and self-organizing systems contribute to achieving lifelike features of computing systems? - When is more ‘lifelike’ technology appropriate? What are the challenges associated with embedding technology that is more ‘lifelike’ in society? How can these be tackled? We welcome contributions of interest to theoreticians and practitioners alike, as well as those that showcase how technological systems can implement the various approaches and insights from research on artificial life, and how and when these artificial life principles can support better technology for people. Fully novel contributions, as well as significantly extended versions of papers from the broader ALife community are welcome.

This will result in a huge amount of data transmission on the next-generation communication network nodes. In this scenario, a real time adaptation to network conditions changes to providing quality user experience in ultra-dense and uncoordinated future networks plays an important role. For these reasons, the use of solutions based on data-driven machine learning and AI techniques is fundamental. Although the capabilities offered by the remote cloud satisfy the current resource and energy hungry requirements of AI due to the big data to be analyzed, with the implementation of Edge Computing paradigm, the possibility to consider the highly distributed AI solutions with small memory footprint is fundamental. The combined use of AI and Edge Computing allows the birth of Edge Intelligence, with the purpose of moving the intelligence from the central cloud to the edge resources, enabling the Intelligent Internet of Intelligent Things (IIoIT). The Edge Intelligence provides an efficient way to manage various aspects of the edge computing approach, from resource management to the organization of data produced by devices, along with the instantiation of suitable software for computational and storage facilities of the edge. This special issue will be devoted to both the theoretical and the practical evaluations related to the design, analysis and implementation of AI techniques applied at the Edge of the network. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies for Edge Intelligence: SDN, NFV, Edge Computing, AI/ML techniques * Data-driven management of software defined networks in Edge Computing context * Deep and Reinforcement learning for networking and communications at the Edge of in 6G networks * Decision making mechanisms at the Edge * AI/ML for network management and orchestration at the Edge of future networks * Intelligent energy-aware/green resource management at the Edge * AI/ML support for ultra-low latency applications at the Edge of the network * Reliability, robustness and safety based on AI/ML techniques at the Edge * AI/ML for IoIT and IIoIT * Open-source networking optimization tools for Edge Intelligence * Modeling and performance evaluation for Intelligent Internet of Intelligence Things * AI/ML for optimization of network slicing extension toward the Edge in future networks * Novel application scenarios for Edge Intelligence * AI/ML for service placement and dynamic Service Function Chaining in the Edge Computing scenario * Self-learning and adaptive networking protocols and algorithms for 6G Edge nodes * Innovative architectures and infrastructures for Edge Intelligence GUEST EDITORS IMPORTANT DATES Nabeel Akhtar, Akamai Technologies Inc, USA Salvatore D’Oro, Northeastern University, USA Christian Grasso, University of Catania, Italy Giovanni Schembra, University of Catania Michael Seufert, University of Würzburg, Germany Submission Deadline: 25th November 2021 First Reviews Due: 30th December 2021 Revision Due: 10th February 2022 Acceptance Notification: 10th March 2022 Final Manuscript Due: 25th April 2022 Estimated Publication: As per the journal policy _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: EGOS 2022 in Vienna, Sub-theme 23 - Digital Technology, Societal Change and Shifts in Institutional Logics Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 16:19:41 -0500 From: Isam Faik <isam.faik(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *EGOS 2022, Vienna, Sub-theme 23: Digital Technology, Societal Change and Shifts in Institutional Logics* *Convenors:* *Isam Faik* Western University, Canada ifaik(a)ivey.ca <%20ifaik(a)ivey.ca> *Eivor Oborn* University of Warwick, United Kingdom Eivor.Oborn(a)wbs.ac.uk <%20Eivor.Oborn(a)wbs.ac.uk> *Patricia H. Thornton* Texas A&M University, USA, & HEC Paris, France phthornton(a)tamu.edu <%20phthornton(a)tamu.edu> ------------------------------ Call for Papers ------------------------------ Digital technologies are increasingly seen as a source of large-scale societal changes, including positive transformations and grand societal challenges. On the one hand, the incorporation of digital technologies in our modes for organizing social and economic activities is contributing to poverty alleviation (Jha et al., 2016), social inclusion (Andrade & Doolin, 2016), and increased political participation (Selander & Jarvenpaa, 2016). On the other hand, it is leading to higher levels of systemic risks (Tarafdar et al., 2013), lower standards in employment conditions (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2012), and the undermining of democratic processes (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017). Advancing a theoretical understanding of how large-scale societal changes are related to the materiality (Jones et al., 2017) of digital technologies requires attention to how technology is becoming integral to the wide range of institutional processes that define twenty-first century societies. In particular, understanding societal-level changes requires analyses of the ways technology is becoming a defining element of the institutional logics that shape individual cognition, action and evaluation in the different areas of social life (Faik et al., 2020). Such analyses enable us to explore how technology is altering the multiplicity of logics in different domains and generating new institutional arrangements. Further analyses can also help us explore how the multiplicity of institutional logics might shape and influence the way technologies become used, which goals are attended to, and which stakeholders or agents become more active in the process of societal change (Oborn et al., 2021). We need studies for example that investigate how and why some institutional logics are becoming more salient as a result of technological change while other logics are being undermined and silenced (Gawer & Phillips, 2013). Studies are needed to examine how technological change is increasing the compatibility of certain institutional logics while heightening the contradictions and tensions among others (Berente & Yoo, 2012). Despite significant advances in theorizing technology as a carrier of institutions (Scott, 2013), the focus in the literature has been on institutional relationships at the organizational and inter-organizational levels (Winter et al., 2014). There is now a need for more studies that can enrich our theoretical repertoire for explaining the implications of technological change at the societal level. We need to advance our theorizing of the constitutive role of technology in large-scale societal changes, for example by enabling new actor constellations (Hining et al., 2018), rendering the availability, accessibility, and activation of certain logics (Gawer & Phillips, 2013), and linking collective action to new sources of meaning (Raviola & Norbak, 2013). This sub-theme aims to contribute to the development of our theoretical repertoire for studying the complex relationships between technology and societal change, along with its implications for individuals and organizations. We therefore call for empirical and conceptual papers that examine the relationship between technological change and the ongoing shifts in established institutional arrangements. More specifically, we invite papers from a variety of methodological traditions, focusing on (but not limited to) the following issues: - How are emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the internet of things, challenging or reinforcing dominant institutional logics or activating previously dormant institutional logics? - How does the rapid scaling of new technologies, such as social media, alter institutions and institutional logics? - How are digital technologies enabling and/or constraining the emergence of hybrid institutional logics, hybrid organizing and collaborative governance (Pache & Thornton, 2021; Besharov & Mitzinneck, 2021)? - How do digital technologies interact with the categorical elements of institutional logics such as expressions of identity, authority, and legitimacy (Thornton et al., 2012)? - How does the interaction of institutions and digital technologies affect societal outcomes such as inclusion, equality, and prosperity? How might these interactions influence the responses to crisis, or the recalibration of ‘new normal’ after a crisis? - How is the growing prevalence of digital technologies creating new institutional conditions that support solutions to societal challenges such as natural disasters and pandemics (Gümüsay et al., 2020)? - How does a focus on digital technology change what we know, i.e., theoretical mechanisms and scope conditions, of classic theory, e.g., loose coupling and symbolic management (Meyer & Rowan, 1977; Westphal & Park, 2020) and isomorphism (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) in neo-institutional theory, conflicting logics in the institutional logics perspective (Thornton et al., 2012), valuation of categories (Durand & Paolella, 2016; Durand & Thornton, 2018; Zuckerman, 2017) and organizational and institutional hybridity (Battilana et al., 2017)? - How do digital technologies and institutions interact to impact contemporary popular press and public policy issues such as democratic election integrity, voter fraud, fake news, media bias, and big technology censorship? - How does fragmentation of the institutional environment and contending institutional logics affect how digital technologies are used and evaluated? ------------------------------ *References* ------------------------------ - Allcott, H., & Gentzkow, M.

Digital transformations are typically described as strategic changes through the use of digital technologies to extend an organisation’s business model, which result in changed products and processes, improved customers engagement, and new organisational structures to provide digital-based services (Hess et al. 2016; Matt et al. 2015; Müller et al. 2016; Sebastian et al. 2017). Leaders have growing expectations from the promise of digital transformations to make a strategic contribution to their business’ survival and success (Berman 2012; Vial, 2019), for example, by extending existing business models through the integration of advanced technologies (Wiesböck and Hess, 2020). However, digital transformation is still in its infancy (Vial 2019). Compared to insights on digital technologies, the extant literature provides sparse coverage on theoretical developments or empirical research that can explain the process of digital transformation, such as how transformations become implemented, embedded, integrated, and evaluated in practice. With such a void in our understanding, it may be unsurprising to learn that approximately 70% of all digital transformation initiatives do not reach their goals (Bucy et al. 2016) with billions of dollars going to waste (Tabrizi et al. 2019). Of the successful digital transformations, it is estimated that there is a 45 percent chance of delivering less profit than expected (Bughin et al. 2019). Clearly, the process of digital transformation within an IS context is not well understood (Carroll, 2020; Rowe, 2018; Vial, 2019) although we continue to build weak assumptions on how digital transformations can be managed and sustained. Fundamentally, this raises questions on how digital transformat ions are managed, and what techniques we need to introduce to offer better guidance on sustaining them. Against this background, this Special Issue calls for more research on managing digital transformations and deepening our discourse on how to better sustain digital transformations in practice (Baiyere et al. 2019; Hassan et al. 2019; Wessel et al. 2020). Topics of Interest We welcome IS accounts of digital transformations at the individual, group/team, organisational or societal level across all possible domains. We solicit conceptual papers, case studies (and comparative cases), surveys, experiments, qualitative research, design science research, and collaborative action research among academics and practitioners that illustrate novel approaches to managing digital transformations and overcoming specific challenges with sustaining the transformation process. We especially seek papers that offer new theoretical models along with evidence of consequences related to managing and sustaining digital transformations. Some of the key topics we are interested in include (but are not limited to): - Digital transformation strategies, practices and processes - Digital transformation mindset, culture and roles - Socio-technical factors for managing and sustaining digital transformations - The role of analytics and big data in managing and sustaining digital transformation - Information systems development in digital transformation - Sustaining and evaluating digital transformations - Agility and urgency in digital transformations - Governance for digital transformations - Evolving and competing across platforms for digital transformations - Enablers and barriers of managing and sustaining digital transformations - IS ethical and corporate responsibility considerations for digital transformation - Success or failure of digital transformations - Open innovation for digital transformations - Building digital resilience in the face digital transformation Important dates - Initial paper submission deadline: January 21st 2022 - First round authors notification: April 1st 2022 - Author development workshop (ECIS 2022): TBC – June 16-18th 2022 - Invited revisions deadline: July 29th 2022 - Second round authors notification: September 30th 2022 - Final revision deadline: November 11th 2022 - Final authors notification: December 9th 2022 Associate Editors - Alexander Benlian, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany - Amany Elbanna, University of London, UK - André Hanelt, University of Kassel, Germany - Arto Lanamäki, University of Oulu, Finland - Brian Fitzgerald, University of Limerick, Ireland - Christiane Lehrer, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark - Gregory Vial, HEC Montreal, Canada - Jonny Holmström, Umeå University, Sweden - Michael Cahalane, University of New South Wales, Australia - Nancy Pouloudi, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece - Netta Iivari, University of Oulu, Finland - Rob Gleasure, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark - Steffi Haag, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany - Sven Rehm, EM Strasbourg Business School - Xiaofeng Wang, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy - Yogesh K.

Fwd: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022)
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2021 01:13:29 -0500 From: angalletta(a)IEEE.ORG To: iot-edge-cloud(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear users of Iot-Edge-Cloud mailing list, =================================================================================== The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) May 16, 2022, Taormina (Messina), Italy in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2022 URL: https://icfec2022.eecis.udel.edu/ =================================================================================== We are delighted to invite you to the 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Taormina (Messina), Italy. INTRODUCTION The number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is predicted to reach 38.6 billion by 2025. These connected devices, ranging from user devices to more complex systems, such as vehicles and power grids, are equipped with sensing, actuating, communication, processing, and storage capabilities, and they generate huge amounts of data of various types. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous IoT devices while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the IoT devices are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology closer to IoT devices, such as home routers, gateways, or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or to host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as â€œFog/Edge computingâ€ . The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, to allow the usage of opportunistic and cheap computing, and to leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which require the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. New abstractions and extensions to current programming and storage models are necessary to allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven edge systems. Addressing security, privacy, and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context of mobile, transient and hardware-constrained resources. The integration of edge computing and 5G will also bring new opportunities and unique challenges. Enabling machine/deep learning at the edge is critical for many applications. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and smart health need to be supported by fog and edge resources. CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing * Mobility management in fog/edge computing * Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Programming models for fog/edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing * Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing * Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog * Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments * Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures * Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue. Papers should follow the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Authors should submit papers, written in English, electronically in PDF format and may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical strength, significance, presentation, and relevance to the conference by at least three reviewers.
