-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Using IS for Good AMCIS CFP - Last Chance! Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 17:21:24 +0000 From: George, Jordana <jgeorge(a)mays.tamu.edu> To: aisworld (aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org) <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Minitrack Title: Using IS for Good AMCIS 2021 TRACK: SOCIAL INCLUSION AND SOCIO-TECHNICAL ISSUES Virtual - August 9-13, 2021 Submission Due March 1, 2021 by 5 p.m. EST Information systems (IS) have the potential to improve social welfare through redistribution of power, providing a voice for marginalized people, improving access to education, and increasing economic opportunity (George & Leidner, 2019; Lin, et al., 2015; Ortiz et al., 2019; Silva & Hirschheim, 2007; Vaidya & Myers, 2017). Some development programs that sought to use IS for a good cause have been highly successful, but many other projects, even those well designed and well-funded, have never gotten off the ground (Chipidza & Leidner, 2019). This track is dedicated to research on how IS has been used for societal good, how and when it is successful, and how and when it tends to fail. The contribution of the minitrack, which is part of the Social Inclusion<https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-24> track, is the development of theory and methods for improving outcomes when IS is used for Good. All submissions must be made via the AMCIS 2021 PCS submission system<https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login> What we are looking for We welcome papers that theoretically, conceptually, or empirically advance research on the impact of IS on society when IS and ICTs specifically target the improvement of social welfare. Papers may use any acceptable methodology and theory. Submissions are encouraged at any level of analysis or progress. Both full papers and emerging research are encouraged so that authors can gain valuable feedback for moving their projects forward. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to): * Societal impacts of information systems * The role of Fintech in economic development * Projects or systems focused on the digital divide * Social connections of geographically distant groups with a common cause * Digital strategies to fight disenfranchisement and marginalization * Corporate social responsibility success and failure * Digital activism that advances human rights * Emancipatory technologies Minitrack Co-Chairs Jordana George (Primary Contact), Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Wallace Chipidza, Claremont Graduate University Co-Chair Biographies Jordana George is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University. Her research explores the societal impact of information systems. She holds a PhD from Baylor University, an MBA from Penn State University and an MFA from the University of California at Davis. Jordana currently serves as Managing Editor for Workshops for the Journal of the AIS and is a founding member of the Mays School of Business Societal Impact Committee. She has published in Information and Organization, Information Systems Management, Communications of the AIS, Information Systems Education Journal, and AIS Transactions on Replication Research. Wallace Chipidza is an assistant professor in the Center for Information Systems and Technology at Claremont Graduate University. He holds a PhD in information systems from Baylor University and an MS in computer science from the University of Arizona. Chipidza mainly researches how and why social networks change over time, the impacts of those changes, and the interventions that moderate those impacts. His other interest lies in designing ICT-based solutions to problems afflicting vulnerable populations in developing countries.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Reminder - AMCIS 2021 Minitrack : ICT4D and Data Justice

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Reminder - AMCIS 2021 Minitrack : ICT4D and Data Justice Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 14:53:52 +0100 From: Silvia Masiero <silviamasiero41(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, Hope you are well. Please find below a reminder of the AMCIS minitrack on ICT4D and Data Justice, with submission deadline 1st March 2021. All the best, Silvia *AMCIS 2021 Minitrack: **ICT4D and Data Justice* *Minitrack chairs: **Silvia Masiero, University of Oslo; **Soumyo Das, Emlyon Business School* Research on data justice, meant with Taylor (2017) as “fairness in the way people are made visible, represented and treated as a result of their production of data”, stems from the increasing availability of digital data for populations worldwide. While used for purposes ascribable to “development” goals, such as provision of better public services, inclusion of vulnerable populations and humanitarian management, such availability of data can result in injustices that are widely documented in literatures across media and communications, human geography and critical data studies. Against this backdrop, it is surprising to see limited explicit engagement of ICT4D with issues of data justice, which – with notable exceptions – is underrepresented in the literature of our field. Such underrepresentation emerges in the limited engagement with data justice in ICT4D journals, conference tracks and symposia, leaving an important gap to fill in this respect. Against this backdrop, this minitrack invites papers that explicitly engage the theme of data justice, dealing with topics that include, but are not limited to: – Theorisations of data justice in ICT4D, – Studies of just or unjust data practices in developing countries, e.g. use of data in public services or social protection for the poor, – Studies of data use in the management of refugee or internally displaced people, – Studies of data use towards inclusion or reduction of vulnerabilities, – Intersections of digital identity with data justice or injustices, – Data justice implications of COVID-19 tracking practices in developing nations. Submission deadline: 1 March 2021 Submission website: https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Submissions: 4th International Workshop on Software-intensive Business will be held online at XP2021 Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 16:58:07 +0000 From: Werder, Karl <werder(a)wiso.uni-koeln.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the 4th International Workshop on Software-intensive Business (IWSiB) that will be hosted by the 22nd International Conference on Agile Software Development (XP2021) to be held online from June 14-18, 2021. IWSiB seeks submissions describing novel research, experience reports, as well as emerging ideas. We are interested in studies describing original and unpublished results in the field of software-intensive business. The focus of the workshop is to have vivid and energizing discussions. Hence, we welcome very much new promising ideas and work-in-progress reports. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following aspects of software-intensive business: * Software product management (e.g., strategy, planning, pricing) * Software ecosystem (e.g., engineering ecosystems, analysis of ecosystem data, modeling of ecosystem structure and behavior, management of developer ecosystems and platforms) * Continuous practices (e.g., experimentation, innovation, improvement) * Agile & lean projects & portfolio (e.g., methods & practices, management and organizing, behavioral and cognitive factors) * Organizational management (e.g., managing technical and social debt, integrating product and business development, managing human-AI symbiosis) * Software startups (e.g., scaling, privoting, funding, business models) * Software platform (e.g., orchestration, governance, architecture, evolution and lifecycle) * Software engineering economics (e.g., in engineering of software or in the software industry) * Emerging trends and research areas (e.g., implications of COVID-19 to the software industry, AI ethics, digital twins, etc. ) The submission deadline is April 23, 2021. The paper length should not exceed 8 pages. You’ll find more details at the workshop website iwsib.org<http://iwsib.org> or at the conference website: https://www.agilealliance.org/xp2021/call-for-submissions/research-workshop… If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you and best regards, IWSiB2021 Organisers Karl Werder <werder(a)wiso.uni-koeln.de<mailto:werder@wiso.uni-koeln.de>> Sami Hyrynsalmi <Sami.Hyrynsalmi(a)lut.fi<mailto:Sami.Hyrynsalmi@lut.fi>> Xiaofeng Wang <xiaofeng.wang(a)unibz.it<mailto:xiaofeng.wang@unibz.it>> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
