*Description of Minitrack*
Information systems are no longer only designed to primarily support or
enable processes, increasing efficiency or improving decision-making
capabilities. For instance, the human-like design of a conversational
agent (e.g., chatbot) can increase trust, enjoyment, and service
satisfaction of users. The human-likeness is achieved via social cues
(e.g., a chatbot has a name, an avatar, a gender, greets users, uses
emoticons) that induce a feeling of social interaction, which can shape
the users emotional, cognitive and behavioral responses. Against this
background, understanding the complex relationships of design elements,
user responses and effectiveness (i.e., persuading the user) stands as
an important area of HCI research. We hereby invite submissions to our
mini-track.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
– Gamification at the digital workplace
– Digital nudging for sustainable shopping decisions
– Digital nudging versus manipulation
– Ethics of persuasive system design
– Neurobiological evidence for persuasiveness
Submission deadline:
- March 1, 2021: Deadline for paper submissions (5pm EST)

Subject: [AISWorld] DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN HEALTHCARE: AMCIS 2021
CALL FOR PAPERS
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 17:59:03 -0500
From: Michael Dohan <msdohan(a)lakeheadu.ca>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
CC: Christopher Califf <califfc(a)wwu.edu>, Dr Tan <tanjosep(a)mcmaster.ca>
CALL FOR PAPERS
Digital Transformation in Healthcare
2021 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Virtual (Montreal, Canada), August 5-7, 2021.
<https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org>https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/
AMCIS 2021 Conference Theme: Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION
Healthcare information technology promotes new and improved opportunities
for healthcare providers, and as it becomes more advanced and widely
adopted, it will improve the way healthcare is delivered as well as enhance
patient outcomes. The new concept of digital transformation shifts the
focus from the value embedded in the technology itself, and emphasizes the
use of technology to alter the firm’s value proposition. This in turn
necessitates various changes in the organization, including but not limited
to business processes, strategies, approaches to governance and others.
In the context of healthcare, digital transformation may take on a
different meaning due to the difference between patients and consumers.
Although consumerism is undeniably a force in healthcare, it is not
necessarily a force that improves patient outcomes. Therefore, digital
transformation in healthcare can entail novel approaches to delivering care
driven by consumerism as well as the need to improve patient outcomes,
including those related to patient-centered care or patient engagement.
The aim of this minitrack is to develop a comprehensive view of how patient
outcomes and healthcare experiences can be improved through digital
transformation. Potential topics for this minitrack include those related
to patient experience, care providers, payers, and other key entities in
the healthcare value chain; strategic, managerial, and governance-related
issues associated with digital transformation; cultural transformations
impacted by healthcare IT that influence patient outcomes; and others.
SUBMISSION TYPES
This minitrack will consider submissions of positivist, interpretivist,
pragmatic and critical research, novel theoretical and methodological
approaches, literature reviews, technology evaluations, and position papers.
IMPORTANT DATES
March 1, 2021: Completed research and ERF submissions are due at 5 p.m. EST

Subject: [AISWorld] Using IS for Good CFP AMCIS 2021
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 20:53:41 +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
August 9-13, 2021
Submission Due March 1, 2021: Completed research and ERF submissions are
due at 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):
* 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

Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities)
and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the
identification, specification, and implementation of an information
technology solution. The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design
(SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems and,
as such, is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline,
including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital
technologies. The SAND track provides a forum for discussing research
related to systems development tools, methodologies and other activities
throughout the systems development life cycle (SDLC). This includes
requirements determination, modeling techniques and languages, agile
systems development practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and
design methods, user involvement in systems development, open source
development, design of systems architecture, and other technical and
organizational issues in systems development. Topics include, but are
not limited to:
* Systems Analysis and Design: Methodologies and Design Processes
* Systems Analysis and Design: Empirical Evaluations, Modeling Methods,
Techniques, and Languages
* Systems Analysis and Design: Requirements Elicitation, Modeling, and
Validation
* Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises
* Micro-service-based Development
* Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
* Strategic Software Management: Issues, Experiences, and Theory
* Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development
* User Participation and Involvement in Information Systems Development
* Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use (e.g., adoption,
information quality)
* Application of SAND concepts and principles beyond IS development
(e.g., in data analytics)
* Organizational Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
General Systems Analysis and Design
* New and Emerging SAND Tools and Approaches (especially as used for
AI/ML, Blockchain, Analytics, IoT/AoT, etc.)
One more focused minitrack is also a part of the Systems Analysis and
Design Track:
SAND Minitrack 1 – Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods,
Techniques, and Tools
This minitrack recognizes the important role modeling languages,
methodologies, methods, and tools play in SAND. This minitrack provides
a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the
areas of modelling language development, use, modification, and
evaluation. We are particularly interested in papers that combine
conceptual modelling with emerging trends like Artificial Intelligence
and in pieces that target the changing role modelling and models can
take now and in future.
An objective of this minitrack is to work toward a more standardized set
of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and
practitioners in this field while also considering recent developments
in domain-specific conceptual modelling. We welcome empirical,
conceptual, theoretical, and technical pieces, and are open to all
research methods.
The most promising submissions will be invited for a fast-track to the
Journal of Database Management. Contacts for the minitrack are:

***CALL FOR PAPERS - AMCIS 2021***
*Mini-track: *Behavioral Research in Data Science and Analytics
*Track:* Data Science and Analytics for Decision Support (SIGDSA)
Virtual Conference -- August 9-13, 2021
https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-6
******************************************************************************
*Mini-track Description:*
The ability to take advantage of data analytics tools and AI technologies
has become an important factor for firm success [1, 2]. With the
availability of data with high velocity, volume, and variety, many firms
have invested in business intelligence and data analytics tools and
technologies to improve the quality of their decisions. However, firms also
recognize the importance of human cognition, judgment, and behavior in
developing, implementing, and using such technologies. For example, data
analysts need to integrate aspects that are not captured by analytical
tools, such as ethical principles and intuition into their analytics
processes and decisions.
The focus of this mini-track is to explore and enhance understanding of the
behavioral aspects of data science and analytics technologies. In
particular, this mini-track focuses on perceptions, attitudes, beliefs,
intentions, and behaviors related to analytics and their potential impacts
on decision-making performance in organizational and social settings [3].
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
· Adoption of AI and analytics
· User-centered analytics
· Impacts of analytics on decision-making quality
· Explainable AI and analytics
· Ethical aspects of AI and analytics
· Trust in AI and analytics
· Privacy implications of AI and analytics
· Algorithm aversion
· Data analytics and technostress
· Data analytics and discrimination
· Data analytics and cognitive biases
· Data analytics and dissemination of knowledge within firms

Dear Conceptual Modelers,
ER is the premier academic venue for the discussion of foundational aspects
of conceptual modeling.
We are looking for submissions of original research, as well as experience
and vision papers, from both researchers and practitioners, welcoming any
topic where conceptual modeling is a major theme. The conference theme is
“Conceptual Modeling in an Age of Uncertainty”. Conceptual modeling has
never been more important. As individuals, organizations, and nations face
new and unexpected challenges, software and data must be developed that can
cope with and help address this uncertainty in an ever-faster changing
world. Conceptual modeling can be used to describe, understand and manage
increasing levels of uncertainty in our world.
Specific examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
conceptual modeling as applied to:
- Ontological and Cognitive Foundations for Conceptual Modeling
- Integration of Conceptual Models and Database Schemas
- Big Data and Conceptual Modeling
- Data Warehousing, Data Mining, Business Intelligence and Analytics
- Service-Oriented Architectures
- Agile Development
- Requirements Engineering
- Methodologies and Tools for Conceptual Design
- Domain Specific Conceptual Modeling Languages, Methods and
Frameworks
- Modeling Distributed Ledger Systems
- Enterprise Models and Architectures
- Business Process Modeling
- Economics and Conceptual Models
- Conceptual Models and Machine Learning
- Industry 4.0, Factory of the Future and Internet of Things (IoT)
- Semantic Web, Cloud Computing, and Web Information Systems
- Information Retrieval, Filtering, Classification, Summarization,
and Visualization
- Empirical Studies of Conceptual Modeling
- Experience Applying Conceptual Modeling
- and many others
Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series,
authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. The page limit for
submitted papers (as well as for final, camera-ready papers) is 14.

About the location:
==============
ER 2021 will be held as a blended conference, with participation both
on-site in the beautiful and vibrant city of St. John's, Canada, as well as
virtually from around the world.
Hosted by Memorial University of Newfoundland - Signal Hill Campus. St.
John's is the easternmost city in North America, located on the Atlantic
coast of Newfoundland. St. John's is the capital and largest city of the
Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Its name has been attributed to the Nativity of John the Baptist, when John
Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497. Existing on
maps as early as 1519, it is one of the oldest cities in North America.
Fun fact: Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi received the first
transatlantic wireless signal in St. John's.
