Fwd: [AISWorld] HICSS 2022 CFP: Blockchain cases and innovations

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 2022 CFP: Blockchain cases and innovations Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:01:19 +0000 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting your work to our minitrack on Blockchain cases and innovations at the Hawai’i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). Blockchain, the technology underlying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, has been receiving considerable attention in recent years, as new use cases in the public and private sector have been identified. What started as a solution to the double spend problem with digital money, is being explored as the backbone technology in scenarios where a trusted third party (e.g., a notary or a bank) is normally required. Using this technology, transactions are securely registered on a data structure (aka the ledger) distributed across a network of peers that validate the entries using a consensus mechanism. New records are cryptographically linked to existing ones, rendering them virtually immutable. The resulting auditability and transparency have been leveraged in proposing innovative solutions to land registries, to stop the spread of conflict diamonds, to fight the counterfeiting of medication, to make supply chains less opaque, and, generally, to promote new financial services. Additionally, blockchains can also store and enforce the execution of algorithmic code know as smart contracts – pieces of code that are executed automatically once predetermined conditions are met – further reducing uncertainty and promoting confidence among stakeholders that would not normally trust each other. Nevertheless, we are still in the early days of blockchain adoption, compared by some to the introduction of the World Wide Web itself. Then, as now, few if any could predict the full extent of the disruptive innovations that would emerge fostered by this emerging technology. For these reasons, it is important for academics to systematically research this field, at various levels. Conferences play a key role in disseminating knowledge about Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT - including blockchains) due to the speed at which developments occur. The proposed minitrack had a considerable attendance in the past three editions, with the audience also registering to get information on new editions or other related developments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Blockchain case studies, applications, and implementations · Blockchain and privacy, security, and identity · Blockchain and digital transformation · Decentralised Finance (DeFi) · Decentralised Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) · Decentralised Applications · Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) · The social and organizational impact of blockchain · Barriers and enablers in blockchain adoption · Blockchain and business model innovation · Regulatory frameworks for Blockchain · Governance and Blockchain · Verticals using Blockchain (financial, healthcare, energy, transportation, others) · Blockchain in e-government and public administration · Blockchain and the Internet-of-Things · Blockchain in education · Blockchain in solving migration and refugee issues · Blockchain-driven marketplaces · Uses of smart contracts · Technology and infrastructure issues in Blockchain On-line at: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/organizational-systems-and-technology/#b… Important Dates for Paper Submission: · June 15, 2021 | 11:59 pm HST: Paper Submission Deadline · August 17, 2021: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection · September 22, 2021: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication · October 1, 2021: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for HICSS-55 Minitrack Co-Chairs: · Marinos Themistocleous (Primary Contact), University of Nicosia themistocleous.m(a)unic.ac.cy · Paulo Rupino da Cunha, University of Coimbra rupino(a)dei.uc.pt · Klitos Christodoulou, University of Nicosia christodoulou.kl(a)unic.ac.cy _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP HICSS-55 Security and Privacy Aspects of Human-Computer-Interactions Minitrack Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 15:49:28 +0000 From: Weber, Kristin <Kristin.Weber(a)fhws.de> Reply-To: Weber, Kristin <Kristin.Weber(a)fhws.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> HICSS-55 Call for Papers Track: Software Technology Minitrack: Security and Privacy Aspects of Human-Computer-Interactions Deadline: June 15, 2021 _____________________________________________ ** *Call for Papers* *Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences – HICSS-55 Minitrack* *Security and Privacy Aspects of Human-Computer-Interactions* ** *Conference: * January 4^th -7^th , 2022, Hyatt Regency Kauai ** *Description:* With increasing digitization, the security and privacy aspects of information are a non-negotiable factor in information system design and operation. Especially the human factor of information systems is a pivotal role in information security and increasingly relevant in establishing user-privacy concepts. More often than not, their knowledge about security aspects and ways of user-manipulation tactics are the last line of defense against cyber-attacks. However, studies show users are also seen as the weakest link in information security. Therefore, they are also the primary target of attackers. In addition to the traditional forms of user-computer-interactions in the form of mouse-keyboard-input-devices, new ways of system-interactions, e.g., physiological data from fitness-trackers, eye-tracking devices or even pupillary responses indicating cognitive-load-levels, are increasingly feasible as everyday HCI-components. With the interest in data privacy increasing, are users aware how valuable those personal input data is and how do they value data privacy measures? Therefore, we have identified two main aspects relevant to researchers within the domain of Software Technology: 1) how to securely deal with input data (also focusing on privacy aspects) 2) how this data can be utilized in order to increase secure behavior or to raise awareness among users (help the users to make better security-related decisions) In this minitrack we seek papers that explore concepts, prototypes and evaluations of how users interact with information systems and what implications these interactions have for information security and privacy. Further, we welcome new and innovative ways of human-computer-interaction and security-related concepts currently examined in the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Security related devices * Physiological sensors * Human-Computer-Interaction * Artificial intelligence * Blockchain applications * Sensor analysis * Data visualization * Biometrics authentication * Security and privacy awareness * Usable security design * Privacy and security by design * Privacy and smart contracts * User valuation of privacy * Validation of user data *Organizers:* Prof. Dr. Nicholas Müller, University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (UASWS), nicholas.mueller(a)fhws.de <mailto:nicholas.mueller@fhws.de> Prof. Dr. Kristin Weber (UASWS), kristin.weber(a)fhws.de <mailto:kristin.weber@fhws.de> Prof. Dr. Paul Rosenthal, University of Rostock, paul.rosenthal(a)uni-rostock.de <mailto:paul.rosenthal@uni-rostock.de> *Publication of Papers:* Presented papers will be included in the Proceedings of HICSS-55 *Important Dates:* April 15, 2021: Paper Submission Opens June 15, 2021: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2021: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2021: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2021: Deadline for at least one author of to register for HICSS-55 January 4-7, 2022: Paper presentations *Author instructions:* https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ <applewebdata://CE9E8085-CCCD-4445-BAF8-948469141B1B/%0ahttp:/itsc-s076lp.fhws.de:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiY1M2JhZDNjYTMwMWNkMDM5Mj01RTY3N0M5Ml8yODMzN18zXzImJjdhYmY2ZDliOWE1NDdhMT0xMTIzJiZ1cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZoaWNzcyUyRWhhd2FpaSUyRWVkdSUyRmF1dGhvcnMlMkY=> *Link to Minitrack:* https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/software-technology/#security-and-privac… <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/software-technology/#security-and-privac…>

The global pandemic has shown, thanks to advanced software technologies, society and businesses were able to quickly respond to environmental disruptions. Demands in software-based service offerings facilitating remote work drastically increased. For example, the revenue for a Check Point, a company specializing on VPN solutions, increased by 4% in 2020 (Cohen, 2020). The revenue of Zoom, a video conferencing solution, even jumped by 30% in 2020 (Malara & Nellis, 2020). Consequently, software producing organizations face increasing demands and evolving requirements from businesses that seek innovative solutions for new realities that are enforced by physical distancing guidelines. The International Workshop on Software-intensive Business: Fueling a Software-driven Economy (IWSiB) brings together communities working on software-intensive business research and bridges the gap between software engineering and business research. The workshop provides a forum for academics and practitioners alike to shape a research agenda, identify contemporary challenges and best practices, and explore new avenues for research and practice at the intersection of both disciplines, business and software engineering.. *Topics of Interest* 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 (cf. Abrahammson et al, 2018; Jansen, 2019): * 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. ) *Evaluation* Submissions will be first screened on rigor and relevance and then evaluated by at least three members of the program committee based on soundness, significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality. *Submission Guidelines* We encourage submissions of contributions describing different stages of research, from position papers to full research reports. We welcome both research and industry papers. The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate volume of the XP proceedings, which will be prepared to be archived by Springer (open access). All submissions must conform to the LNBIP formatting and submission instructions. Authors should consult Springer’s author guidelines <https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conferen…> and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The paper length should not exceed 8 pages. * There is no limit on the number of submissions an author may submit, but authors are advised to focus on quality rather than on quantity. * By submitting to the IWSiB workshop, authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree that papers submitted to IWSiB workshop must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for IWSiB workshop. * Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair by the defined deadline. *Organisers* Karl Werder, University of Cologne, Germany Sami Hyrynsalmi, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland Xiaofeng Wang, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy *Program Committee (tbc) * ---------------------------------------- Ville Alkkiomäki, F-Secure Corporation Stefan Biffl, Vienna University of Technology Jan Bosch, Chalmers University of Technology Sjaak Brinkkemper, Utrecht University Christoph Bussler, Google Christoph Elsner, Siemens AG Paul Grünbacher, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Robert Heinrich, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Georg Herzwurm, University of Stuttgart Helena Holmström Olsson, University of Malmo Slinger Jansen, Utrecht University Hans-Bernd Kittlaus, InnoTivum Consulting Andrey Maglyas, Maglyas Consulting Juergen Muench, Reutlingen University Alexander Mädche, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Anh Nguyen Duc, University College of Southeast Norway Alexander Nolte, University of Tartu Rafael Prikladnicki, PUCRS Jurka Rahikkala, Vaadin Ltd Bala Ramesh, Georgia State University Guenther Ruhe, University of Calgary Kari Smolander, LUT University Pasi Tyrväinen, University of Jyväskylä For more details of the workshop, please contact: 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>), or Xiaofeng Wang (xiaofeng.wang(a)unibz.it <mailto:xiaofeng.wang@unibz.it>). -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Workshop@ECSCW 2021: Studying Technical Mechanisms for Supporting Sharing Communities Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:46:04 +0000 From: Pakusch, Christina <Christina.Pakusch(a)h-brs.de> Reply-To: Pakusch, Christina <Christina.Pakusch(a)h-brs.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> <Apologies for cross-posting> Studying Technical Mechanisms for Supporting Sharing Communities Workshop at ECSCW 2021, June 7th, 2021, Zurich, Switzerland (Due to the circumstances related to COVID-19, the workshop will follow an online format that allows remote participation) https://www.verbraucherinformatik.de/ecscw21-workshop <https://www.verbraucherinformatik.de/ecscw21-workshop> ------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------ Submit position paper: 9 April, 2021. Notification: 30 April, 2021. Pre-workshop preparation package by 31 May, 2021. Workshop at ECSCW (online format): 7 June, 2021. ------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------ Technology is a key component in the emergence of the commercial sharing economy and community-oriented collaborative economy initiatives. Housing cooperatives, community gardens, food coops, tool libraries, skill swapping arrangements and other citizen initiatives use digital technologies for collaboration, communication and coordination purposes, and are included under the same umbrella of the collaborative economy. In the latter cases, reuse, recycling, mobilisation of existing resources and initiatives have a real impact on the local economy. The workshop is a follow-up of a workshop from ECSCW 2020, where we sought to examine and explore the relationship between these enabling technologies and the emerging initiatives and communities (see https://cio.cs.au.dk/ecscw-workshop/ <https://cio.cs.au.dk/ecscw-workshop/>). The aim of this year’s follow-up workshop is to further engage with these research themes, and work towards a better understanding of core technical mechanisms and issues that we have identified. ------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOP TOPICS ------------------------------------------------- We particularly invite submissions that engage with the following issues: - Novel socio-technical approaches: How can mechanisms enable effective and flexible sharing of digital goods and services and how will these affect business models and user behavior? - Digital consumer and worker protection: How can we help to protect the rights of users, both of consumers and gig workers? - Emergent challenges and opportunities: How can we improve existing designs, for instance in terms of enhancing collectivity, sustainability and resilience? Furthermore, we invite works about the topics from the initial workshop, such as studies about platform taxonomies, ideals and conflicts of communities, (un)intended dark designs as well as how communities organise on and around platforms. See the website for more background and details on the themes. ------------------------------------------------- PARTICIPATION AND SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------- We invite researchers and practitioners to participate by submitting a short paper (2-4 pages) on their research or experiences using the ECSCW Exploratory Paper template. Submitted papers should relate to the research questions outlined in the call. We are especially interested in empirical studies of sharing economy platforms and their socio-technical implications. Both reports of research in progress and completed studies will be accepted. We are also inviting practitioners to submit experience reports about existing technologies. The workshop organisers will select the position papers based primarily on their ability to generate fruitful discussion of important issues and also to provide examples of practice related, high quality case studies. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop. The accepted papers will be made available to the participants in advance and discussants will be assigned to each paper. Submissions and questions should be emailed to Christina Pakusch (christina.pakusch[at]h-brs.de). Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop. See the main conference site for more information on registration etc. https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/ <https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2021/>. Due to the circumstances related to COVID19, the workshop will follow an online format with remote participation. Depending on the outcome of the workshop’s discussions and on the interest of the participants, we may explore further publication outlets for the workshop papers. The contributions will be made available on the workshop website, given participant consent. ------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS ------------------------------------------------- Gabriela Avram, University of Limerick, Ireland Alexander Boden, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science and Fraunhofer FIT Susanne Bødker, Aarhus University, Denmark Henrik Korsgaard, Aarhus University, Denmark Myriam Lewkowicz, Troyes University of Technology, France Christina Pakusch, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science ------------------------------------------------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------- Web: https://www.verbraucherinformatik.de/ecscw21-workshop <https://www.verbraucherinformatik.de/ecscw21-workshop> E-Mail: christina.pakusch[at]h-brs.de -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: 15th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:04:10 +0000 From: Robert M Davison <isrobert(a)cityu.edu.hk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> "Human Choice and Digital by Default: Autonomy vs Digital Determination" Tokyo, Japan, 9th-11th September 2022 www.hcc15.net<http://www.hcc15.net> Venue: Faculty of Global Informatics (iTL), Chuo University, Tokyo. http://global.chuo-u.ac.jp/english/siteinfo/visit/ichigaya/ Since the advent of COVID-19, whole sectors of the economy in many countries, or at least those that can, have been working remotely, from home. This has brought a whole new meaning to the maxim 'digital by default' and brought home some of the potential pitfalls. Not only are we now missing the paralinguistic benefits of body language and location context in our communication, but the trend towards digital meetings - already strong - has accelerated, meaning fewer and fewer of us have any choice whether or not to embrace the digital alternative to in-person meetings. The encroaching influence, moreover, of machine learning based systems, that can embed the biases inherent in the data they have learnt from, threatens to entrench the societal problems of the past, rather than redress them, in this new online world. Issues of privacy, accountability, fairness and access are all coming more and more to the fore of discussions around the digital, with face-offs between the Tech Giants unfolding over their fundamental business models. Since 1974, the Human Choice and Computers (HCC) conference series has consistently fostered innovative thinking about the interfaces between society and technology. At this time, HCC15 in 2022 focuses on "Human Choice and Digital by Default: Autonomy vs Digital Determination" and welcomes inputs from members of academia and research, civic society, computing associations, industry, and the IT professions on the following (and related) themes: * Ethical and Legal Issues for Data Analytics and Big Data * Social Accountability and Responsibility for Computing and Data Utilization * Digitalization, embodiment, mobility and repairment in relation to Gender and Diversity, Work, Educational and Daily Life * How data can support rather than infringe personal liberty * Harnessing Information with Unconscious Bias * Legal Systems for Criminal Offences and Abuse * Ethical governance models for new data economy ecosystems * How did we get here? Precedents, and lessons from the past * Personal Autonomy in Information Systems: where is the human in our models? * How culturally diverse interpretations / understandings of life-work balance can help us shape a more human-centric computing environment * Personal freedom and informational security * Can our personal choices add up to an environmental impact? * ICT for Development: how much choice outside the developed world? * Global or local? How are the lived experiences of the marginalized and dispossessed citizens of developing countries affected by government reactions and policies? * Security and privacy for Data Analytics and Big Data * Using collaborative skills to work with team members in order to ensure reliability, availability and performance of applications * Working, playing, entertaining and relaxing at home: seamless integration in our working and private digital lives * * * HCC15 will also welcome co-located TC9 Working Group Workshops: WG9.2 - Social Accountability and Computing Need for Social Accountability - Art Nouveau of digitalization? Covid-19 forced interaction at work and private life to go digital so fast that it could not be seen beforehand. However, we can raise the question, is this a desirable outcome or not? By taking a digital leap, what did we achieve from the viewpoint of environment, equality and wellbeing? Is there a need for starting to see what good and beauty we could achieve using technology, instead of focusing on efficiency? What does social accountability mean while digitalization is progressing at a different pace in a different context? What would it mean from an organizational or societal perspective? Do we need a new Art Nouveau for digitalization to ensure the digital society is good for people and the environment? The objective of Art Nouveau was to create beautiful yet sustainable things for people with arts and craftsmanship. One of the reasons for the birth of Art Nouveau was the resistance towards industrialization that offered cheap standardised products to everybody. Digital Art Nouveau could be the rise of human-centric digitalization, where other values than economy and efficiency could also flourish. We encourage the submission of papers focusing on the following and related themes. * Slow tech * Artificial intelligence helping human intelligence * Sustainability of digitalization * Human-centric digitalization WG9.4 - The Implications of Information and Digital Technologies for Development Digital Approaches to Development Issues during COVID-19: Global Perspectives The COVID-19 pandemic has created a plethora of new needs, encompassing the domain of health infrastructures and those of emergency assistance, social protection and socio-economic development measures. Digital approaches have been largely leveraged in COVID-19 responses, creating solutions that cover all such domains: COVID-19 tracking has been delegated to digital systems that have raised advocacy, but also concerns of privacy and data governance related to mobile-based apps (Taylor et al., 2020). Emergency assistance and social protection have been linked to algorithmic approaches that have facilitated distribution of subsidies, but also raised concerns of algorithmic justice (Cerna Aragon, 2020; Lopez, 2020). More at large, digital routes to socio-economic development have been adapted in the ongoing pandemic, seeking to tailor digitality in ways that seek to meet the needs of the new poor and of those whose vulnerability has increased. Against this backdrop, this track invites papers that deal with digital approaches to the solution of issues posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are especially interested in issues that pertain to the domain of socio-economic development, and their configurations at this time of global crisis. We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to: · Digital health infrastructures in the pandemic · COVID-19 tracking in developing countries · Datafied social policies in the Global South · Algorithmic justice in relation to emergency assistance · Digital social protection during COVID-19 · Digital inequalities in the COVID-19 context.

Example topics include (but are not limited to): · digital work in its social context · digital health · digital education · digital labor · digital games · digital tourism · online communities · social media · augmented or virtual reality · emerging technologies · artificial intelligence Submissions are welcomed that offer fresh theoretical or empirical insights into how our digital lives have transformed the way we work, communicate, and play together. WG9.8 Gender, Diversity and ICT Digitalization, embodiment, mobility and repairment in relation to Gender and Diversity, Work, Educational and Daily Life The Covid-19 pandemic makes visible the intersecting positions and hierarchies of embodied work, as well as the merits and limits of the digital. We invite feminist techno-science approaches to themes of gender, diversity, and inclusion vis-a-vis the societal-scale shifts to online platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Meetings, etc.) and more digitalized lives and labor in response to the pandemic that foregrounds how everyday life depends on materialities and embodied labor. Doctors, nurses, drivers, teachers, social workers, cleaners, cashiers, researchers and many others are essential to fighting the pandemic and meeting lives' and societies' basic necessities. Hence our broad question: how should we conceptualize, design for, and speak about "recovery" from the pandemic? Who should / will be included in a "recovery" of pre-pandemic practices of travel and affiliated conceptions of place and mobility as privileges tied to class, gender, ethnicity, etc? How are we to conceptualize and thereby shape how we think and feel about possible futures and the role of digital technologies therein? What happens, moreover, if we shift from "recovery" to "repairment"? Repairment can further implicate notions of entanglement and co-generation, evoking new questions. What is needed is to repair unjust social, cultural, spiritual, economic, and political structures and systems, and most especially the climate and ecosystems of the planet we live on - can we discern and better design for our interrelationality via computational and network technologies? WG9.9 ICT and Sustainable Development Covid-19 - Missed opportunity or the transition to a sustainable and fair society? For a couple of decades now researchers within fields related to ICT have discussed the sustainability-related potential of the technology. Conventional approaches include for example optimization of energy and resource use in production and transportation, and dematerialization (i.e. replacing physical goods with digital ones). However, despite the potential of ICT to contribute to sustainability, we have not yet seen this potential being fully exploited. Instead, the environmental footprint of ICT products (energy consumption, resource use, disposal) is increasing, among other things due to the short useful life of many ICT products, its linear value chain ("take-make-waste") and various more or less unexpected rebound effects of ICT development. Among other things, it has recently been estimated that data centers world-wide consume around 200 TWh yearly, and this figure is likely to increase in the coming years with among other things the increased popularity of video and game streaming and crypto currencies such as Bitcoin (which currently consumes as much electricity as the Netherlands to maintain). In summary, while there is certainly potential for ICT to do good for the environment, current trajectories show that the footprint of ICT is increasing while the full sustainability-related potential of the technology is not exploited. But with the Covid-19 pandemic currently ongoing - to recite Naomi Klein and the title of the HCC13 conference - this (surely) changes everything! We have been forced to drastically change our unsustainable transportation and consumption patterns and have instead relied on ICT-supported, more sustainable, alternatives. Well, according to the EEA Briefing "COVID-19 and Europe's environment: Impacts of a global pandemic", the environmental impacts have not been as radical as many researchers hoped for and believed when the almost world-wide lockdown started around one year ago. Many now instead argue that the pandemic was a "missed opportunity" to radically transform our society into a more sustainable one. But perhaps it is still not too late? We encourage the submission of papers focusing on the relation between ICT and sustainable development in general, but reflect on the role of ICT in a sustainable and fair post-Corona society in particular. * * * Paper Submission The conference is open to attendees at all stages of career and education, whether you are at the start, middle or peak of your career, either as academics or practitioners. Submitted papers should be approximately 3,000-5,000 words in length.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Third CFP: JAIS Special Issue on Data Science for Social Good (with the updated Editorial Board)
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Third CFP: JAIS Special Issue on Data Science for Social Good (with the updated Editorial Board) Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 13:28:46 -0400 From: Jennifer Xu <jiexu2(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to submit your research to the special issue on Data Science for Social Good at the Journal of Association for Information Systems (JAIS). https://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/JAISSIonDataScienceforSocialGood.pdf Submission deadline: April 15, 2021 Special Issue Co-Editors - Ahmed Abbasi, University of Notre Dame (aabbasi(a)nd.edu<mailto: aabbasi(a)nd.edu>) - Roger H.L. Chiang, University of Cincinnati (roger.chiang(a)uc.edu<mailto: roger.chiang(a)uc.edu>) - Jennifer Xu, Bentley University (jxu(a)bentley.edu<mailto:jxu@bentley.edu>) Scope and Focus Data science is an interdisciplinary field that applies mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and data visualization techniques to extract insights and knowledge from data that are normally big and encompass both structured and unstructured formats. Jim Gray, a 1998 Turing Award winner, promoted data science as a new, fourth paradigm for scientific discovery in response to the large amounts of data generated by scientific experiments in many disciplines (Hey et al., 2009). In this vein, data science complements experimental, theoretical, and computational science as an emerging research paradigm for understanding nature and society (Bell et al., 2009). The inherently interdisciplinary nature of data science, and the fact that it is a catalyst for business transformation and technology disruption, presents many research opportunities for a diverse discipline such as Information Systems (IS). This has spurred a call for greater IS research on business data science (Saar-Tsechansky 2015). Similarly, there is a need for IS research on the development and evaluation of data science artifacts (e.g., models, methods, and systems) that address broader societal challenges. A lingering question remains: what societal challenges can IS-oriented data science research contribute towards - and how can we conduct such research to maximize impact and relevance? It is generally accepted that the primary goal of scientific discovery and technological innovation are to improve the human condition and the overall well-being of society. As the world deals with unprecedented pandemics and grapples with painful centuries-old social justice inequities, the importance of data science for social good has once again come front and center. For example, the U.S. National Institute for Health's data science resource page lists many available datasets and computational resources ( https://datascience.nih.gov/covid-19-open-access-resources). This data is being used to develop models and methods to diagnose likelihood of infection, detect outbreak hot spots, and forecast intensive care unit bed capacities. Similarly, social justice projects are attempting to democratize data science in key contexts such as crime analytics. However, it must be pointed out that data science for social good (DSSG) is not merely about applying data science techniques to data sets of societal importance. As a recent McKinsey report noted, data science/AI work exploring social good use cases cannot rely solely on a "social-first" or "tech-first" approach, but rather, must consider the amalgamation of these two perspectives (Chui et al., 2018). The IS field has noted the importance of taking a more holistic approach to such research that encompasses a socio-technical lens (Abbasi et al., 2016) spanning context, people, process, and technology. Accordingly, for this special issue, some of the major themes include: Novel Data Science Artifacts for Social Good IT artifacts include constructs, models, methods, and instantiations (Hevner et al., 2004). Novelty lies at the intersection of artifact design as well as its application (Gregor and Hevner 2013). Whereas application domains like health and the environment have received some attention, many key areas remain underexplored (Chui et al., 2018). Examples include education, economic empowerment, security and justice, crises response, infrastructure, and hunger. For DSSG, the novel data science artifacts include new models, methods, and systems applied to interesting and timely social good use cases that enhance our knowledge and understanding of the state-of-the-art in meaningful ways. Measuring Social Impact Data science artifacts are often evaluated and validated based on how well they perform across a set of well-established performance metrics (e.g., accuracy and sensitivity). The importance of such metrics has been further amplified in recent years with the rise of data analytics competitions, crowd-sourcing platforms, and leaderboards. While such metrics are important, and in some respects, they constitute the "price of admission" for artifact design, they often fail to consider key downstream implications - humanistic outcomes and societal impact. This is what some IS scholars have described as "going the last research mile...using scientific knowledge and methods to address important unsolved classes of problems for real people with real stakes in the outcomes" (Nunamaker et al., 2015, p. 11). Research geared towards measuring social impact might include (but is not limited to) new methods, constructs, or case studies that enhance our understanding of how to quantify and assess the social impact of data science artifacts. Data Science Ethics and Governance Considerations Important data science considerations related to trust, explainability, bias, fairness, privacy, and ethical use are beginning to garner a fair amount of attention from policy makers, academia, and the business community - and for good reason. However, much work has taken a univariate tunnel-vision perspective that fails to consider the interplay between these factors. As one example, through immersive longitudinal field research, we know that DSSG projects examining the efficacy of interventions geared towards health disparate populations should consider the intersections between factors such as trust, bias, privacy, and fairness (Abbasi et al., 2018; Taylor et al., 2018). We welcome research that explores the complexity of ethical challenges and governance considerations related to the application of data science in interesting societally impactful contexts. Topics of Interest The DSSG follows a tradition of IS research that examines how the advancement of information technology and systems address societal challenges such as digital divide and social inclusion. Data science has a great potential to provide tremendous social benefits in the future. This special issue advocates the need for more IS research in studying DSSG, and encourages the creation and evaluation of data science artifacts to examine and address societal challenges in a variety of contexts and domains. In addition, this special issue seeks to promote collaborations between IS researchers that are technically focused and those with more of a social/people focus. Our hope is that this special issue sparks in-depth examination about where data science capabilities can be applied to address societal challenges in ways that are unique, thought-provoking, and impactful. This JAIS special issue welcomes original research for addressing societal challenges in various domains and areas, including, but not limited to, the following: - Crises response - Healthcare and welfare - Public transportation and safety - Education and employment - Security and law enforcement - Urban planning and development - Environmental protection, clean energy, and sustainability - Not-for-profit organizations and government agencies' services - Ethnical and social biases embedded in datasets and analytics methods - Social justice, disparities, inequality and poverty Submission Process and Timelines In the extended abstract and full paper submission, authors should clearly justify the novelty and significance of their work. We encourage prospective authors to read the recent JAIS editorial on "What's in a Contribution?" to justify their research's significant and novel contributions to the IS discipline regarding Data Science for Social Good (Leidner 2020). All submissions must be original and not be published or under review elsewhere. Papers should be submitted following the standard JAIS submission procedure (http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais/). All JAIS submission guidelines must be met. Although optional, authors are strongly encouraged to contact the co-editors with a 1-3 page extended abstract by November 15, 2020 to evaluate research fit with the special issue. The co-editors also plan to organize an online paper development workshop in the summer of 2021. Authors of invited to submit a revision for a second round of review will have an opportunity to present their work at this workshop. The exact date and format of this online workshop will be determined after the first round of review.
