-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience against Cybersecurity Risks: Special issue of Organisational Cybersecurity Journal (Guest Editors: Michael Lane, Sigi Goode) Date: Fri, 14 May 2021 09:41:30 +0000 From: Michael Lane <Michael.Lane(a)usq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues We seek high quality empirical and conceptual research papers that fit with the theme of Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience against Cybersecurity Risks for a special issue of Organisational Cybersecurity Journal: Practice, Process and People: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ocj/special-issue-strengthen… Strengthening Critical Infrastructure Resilience against Cybersecurity Risks Guest Editors: Michael Lane, University of Southern Queensland | michael.Lane(a)usq.edu.au<mailto:michael.Lane@usq.edu.au> ; Sigi Goode, Australian National University | sigi.goode(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:sigi.goode@anu.edu.au> Most prior Information Systems research has focused on threats to organizations and individuals. However, infrastructure, as the operational intersection that joins these actors together, has received comparatively little attention. In many cases, this infrastructure was installed or constructed decades ago, and their vulnerabilities remain hidden. These vulnerabilities are likely to affect critical infrastructure in a range of industries, including transportation, energy networks, hazardous and chemical materials management, communications networks, and wider supply chains. Further, while it was traditionally believed that only state actors would possess the resources and incentives to successfully target critical infrastructure, today's threat field has broadened and is more likely to comprise terrorist groups, industrial spies, organized crime groups, and hackers. Research is needed into how to identify, manage and protect such vulnerabilities, techniques for secure design of infrastructure assets, and insight into perpetrator motives and behaviors for such attacks. This Special Issue seeks empirical and conceptual research papers that focus on the following topics, among others: * Approaches to detecting infrastructure threats and vulnerabilities * Behavioral security threats to next generation infrastructural communications and networking, including 5G and beyond * Detecting, mitigating and preventing insider sabotage, including behavioral analyses of motives, attitudes, activities and planning * Threat mitigation and control effects of infrastructure investment, maintenance, review and planning activities * Critical assessment of cybersecurity regulatory frameworks and standards to ensure infrastructure security and resilience Papers should focus on behavioral aspects of threats to critical infrastructure - general cybersecurity work is not appropriate for this special issue.

The scope of SSP spans measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time management. The focus is both on classical performance metrics such as response time, throughput, and resource utilization, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other software quality attributes including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, (energy) efficiency, dependability (in terms of availability and reliability), resilience, security, and privacy. Topics of interest include the design of metrics, benchmarks, and tools for quantitative system evaluation and analysis, as well as the development of methodologies, techniques and tools for modeling, measurement, load testing, monitoring, profiling, workload characterization, and run-time management of software systems with respect to the mentioned quality attributes. The symposium is organized by the three established research groups Descartes, Kieker, and Palladio; thus this symposium also serves as a joint community meeting. Descartes' focus are techniques and tools for engineering self-aware computing systems designed for maximum dependability and efficiency. Kieker is a well-established tool and approach for monitoring software performance of complex, large, and distributed IT systems. Palladio is a likewise-established tool and approach for modeling architectures of IT systems and for simulating quality properties, such as for example performance or reliability metrics. SSP 2021 is supported by the GI special interest group "Softwaretechnik". *Scope:* Submission are thought for plans, ongoing work, or results on: - Software quality analysis in regard to: - Performance - Scalability and elasticity - Energy efficiency - Dependability and resilience - Security and privacy - Application performance measurement and management - Performance measurement and benchmarking - Performance modeling (modeling, simulation, extraction and calibration) - Automated run-time management of software systems - Automated approaches for performance problem detection and resolution - Performance-related challenges in industrial software systems - Application of Descartes, Kieker, or Palladio in projects *Submission:* We solicit technical papers (5-6 pages) and extended abstracts for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Third Workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion- RecSys Conference Date: Sat, 8 May 2021 09:55:25 +0000 From: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> Reply-To: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> CFP: Workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion & Retail <https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2021/> In conjunction with ACM RecSys 2021, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 27th September-1st October 2021 Online Fashion retailers have significantly increased in popularity over the last decade, making it possible for customers to explore hundreds of thousands of products without the need to visit multiple stores or stand in long queues for checkout. However, the customers still face several hurdles with current online shopping solutions. For example, customers often feel overwhelmed with the large selection of the assortment and brands. In addition, there is still a lack of effective suggestions capable of satisfying customers’ style preferences, or size and fit needs, necessary to enable them in their decision-making process. In this context, recommender systems are very well positioned to play a crucial role in creating a great customer experience in fashion. Moreover, in recent years social shopping in fashion has surfaced, thanks to platforms such as Instagram, providing a very interesting opportunity that allows to explore fashion in radically new ways. Such recent developments provide exciting challenges for the Recommender Systems and Machine Learning research communities.� This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fashion, recommendations and machine learning domains to discuss open problems in the aforementioned areas. This involves addressing interdisciplinary problems with all of the challenges it entails. Within this workshop we aim to start the conversation among professionals in the fashion and e-commerce industries and recommender systems scientists, and create a new space for collaboration between these communities necessary for tackling these deep problems. To provide rich opportunities to share opinions and experience in such an emerging field, we will accept paper submissions on established and novel ideas, as well as new interactive participation formats.� Suggested topics for submissions are (but not limited to): * Computer vision in Fashion (image classification, semantic segmentation, object detection) * Deep learning in recommendation systems for Fashion * Learning and application of fashion style (personalized style, implicit and explicit preferences, budget, social behaviour, etc)� * Size and Fit recommendations through mining customers implicit and explicit size and fit preferences * Modelling articles and brands size and fit similarity * Usage of ontologies and article metadata in fashion and retail (NLP, social mining, search) * Addressing cold-start problem both for items and users in fashion recommendation * Knowledge transfer in multi-domain fashion recommendation systems * Hybrid recommendations on customers’ history and on-line behavior * Multi- or Cross- domain recommendations (social media and online shops) * Privacy preserving techniques for customer’s preferences tracing * Understanding social and psychological factors and impacts of influence on users’ fashion choices (such as Instagram, influencers, etc.)� In order to encourage the reproducibility of research work presented in the workshop, we put together a list of open datasets in the fashionXrecsys website <https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2021/>. All submissions present work evaluated in at least one of the described open datasets will be considered for the best paper, best student paper and best demo awards, which will be given by our sponsors.� Mentorship� This year we will continue to offer mentorship opportunities to students who would like to get initial feedback on their work by industry colleagues. We aim to increase the chances of innovative student’s work being published, as well as to foster an early exchange across academia and industry. As a mentee, you should expect at least one round of review of your work p r to the submission deadline. If your work is accepted, you should also expect at least one feedback session regarding your demo, poster or oral presentation.

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

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Blockchain cases and innovations (HICSS 2022 CFP) Date: Wed, 5 May 2021 07:46:38 +0100 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: [AISWorld] CfP: Few days left for submission: VLIoT @ VLDB 2021 Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 07:33:59 +0200 From: Sven Groppe <groppe(a)ifis.uni-luebeck.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things (VLIoT 2021) In conjunction with VLDB 2021 August 16, 2021, Copenhagen, Denmark Submission: May 7, 2021 - Submission deadline has been extended! Web: http://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/vliot ******************************************************************** ** Important Message on Covid-19 ** We are monitoring the evolution of the covid-19 pandemic. Depending on the situation, we will either operate the workshop for 1/2 a day as a physical workshop and 1/2 a day as an online virtual event, or run the workshop fully online. ** Aims of the Workshop ** An increasing number of real-world objects are becoming accessible and manageable through the Internet. According to Statista, the number of these devices is approximately 30 billion by 2020, forming a very large Internet of Things (VLIoT). This massive number of "smart" objects will cooperate with each other, have their own metadata, and may continuously produce new data (in form of events, sensor data, or actuator states). Data management will be a major challenge in the very large Internet of Things. Hence, efficient IoT infrastructure and technologies must be developed to handle masses of IoT data with high performance. This will include: new techniques to filter and store relevant data; efficient replication approaches for objects with constrained resources in order to increase availability and durability; new protocols for voting about decisions among objects; and smooth integration of heterogeneous objects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working in the field of IoT and to allow them to report and exchange their findings addressing these challenges. This workshop also intends to discuss other closely-related technologies such as Nanotechnology, Fog-, Edge-, and Dew-Computing for IoT. The ideas of Fog, Edge and Dew Computing may indeed solve or attenuate the problems of a very large Internet of Things (w.r.t. performance, energy-efficiency, as well as security and privacy aspects). ** Types of Papers ** The workshop welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experience. In particular, we solicit papers of different types: - Research Papers proposing new approaches, theories or techniques related to Internet of Things, including new data structures, algorithms, whole systems, and frameworks. They should make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. - Experiments and Analysis Papers focusing on the experimental evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and algorithms for Internet of Things and bring new insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of experiments and analysis papers can be, for example, showing benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments, opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an experimental survey. - Application Papers reporting practical experiences on Internet of Things applications. Application papers might describe specific application domains in the IoT such as smart homes/offices/cities, continuous health care, waste management, emergency response, intelligent response, and Industry 4.0. - Vision Papers identifying emerging or future research issues and directions, and describing new research visions in the IoT area that may have a great impact on our society. ** Topics of Interest ** We welcome papers on the following and other relevant topics: - Semantic IoT - Privacy-by-design and security-by-design in IoT - System architectures for IoT, e.g. - things-centric, - data-centric, - event-centric, and - service-centric. - IoT applications including: - smart homes/offices/cities, - waste management, - health care, - emergency response, and - intelligent shopping. - Nano Technology including: - Nano Networks, - Nano communication, - Nano applications, - Nano computing, and - Internet of Nano Things. - IoT programming toolkits and frameworks - IoT prototypes and evaluation test-beds - IoT data mining and analytics - IoT management and interoperability - Management of IoT streams - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT - Spatial and temporal reasoning for IoT - Sustainability of IoT platforms, e.g. business models for deployment and maintenance - Societal challenges and IoT, e.g. urban planning and decision making tools - Ownership of data in IoT scenarios - Fog, Edge and Dew Computing for IoT - IoT benchmarks and performance measurement - Indexing and search in IoT environments - IoT transactions, concurrency control and recovery - Hardware accelerators and energy savers for IoT applications and core infrastructure - IoT discovery of devices, services and data ** Workshop Chairs ** - Sven Groppe, University of Luebeck, Germany - Weizhi Meng, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark ** Program Committee ** - Omar Boucelma, Aix-Marseille University, France - Arsenia Chorti, ETIS / University Paris Seine, University Cergy-Pontoise, ENSEA, CNRS France - Flavia C.
