-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Blockchain Technology and Applications @ EMCIS 2021 Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2021 08:46:39 +0100 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting to the EMCIS 2021 track on Blockchain Technology and Applications. Submission Deadline: 31 Jul, 2021 Conference proceedings will be published in a Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing volume. Indexed by ISI Proceedings, DBLP, EI and Scopus. Substantially extended versions of some EMCIS papers may be selected for publication in academic journals. ** Call for Papers ** Blockchain Technology and Applications A Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that saves transactions on thousands of computers around the globe. Blockchain, the technology underlying the infamous Bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been receiving considerable attention in recent years, as new use cases in the public and private sector are identified. What started as a mechanism to avoid the double spending problem with digital money is being experimented in scenarios where a trusted third party (e.g. a notary or a bank) was normally required. Using this technology, transactions are securely registered in a ledger distributed across a network of peers that validate the entries using a consensus mechanism. The high importance of blockchain has attracted the attention of organizations in different sectors and has resulted in the development of innovative organizations and new job positions. Currently, few if any could predict the full extent of the disruptive innovations that would emerge fostered by Blockchain technology. This track seeks to serve as an annual venue that will enable the discussion on the trends, challenges and developments of Blockchain technology. In doing so, it aims to speed up the study and accelerate the adoption of this technology. Topics of interest include the following but are not limited to: • Blockchain case studies • Blockchain infrastructure • Blockchain and banking • Blockchain and peer-to-peer transfers • Blockchain and digital currencies • Blockchain and Internet of Things • Blockchain and markets • Blockchain and marketplaces • Blockchain and healthcare • Blockchain applications • Blockchain and e-government • Blockchain and Banking sector • Blockchain interoperability and scalability • Blockchain and regulatory frameworks • Barriers to blockchain adoption • Decentralized Finance • Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) • Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) • Fintech applications • Smart contracts • Innovation in blockchain • Privacy, Security and Identity in blockchain For more information, please visit: http://emcis.eu Track co-Chairs: Paulo Rupino da Cunha, Coimbra University, Portugal Email: rupino(a)dei.uc.pt <mailto:rupino@dei.uc.pt> Klitos Christodoulou, University of Nicosia, Cyprus Email: Christodoulou.kl(a)unic.ac.cy <mailto:Christodoulou.kl@unic.ac.cy> Elias Iosif, University of Nicosia, Cyprus Email: Iosif.e(a)unic.ac.cy <mailto:Iosif.e@unic.ac.cy> Paulo Rupino da Cunha Professor Associado com Agregação Associate Professor w/ Habilitation Universidade de Coimbra • Departamento de Engenharia Informática Pólo II | 3030-290 COIMBRA • PORTUGAL Tel.: Phone +351 239 790 050 E-mail: rupino(a)dei.uc.pt <mailto:rupino@dei.uc.pt> eden.dei.uc.pt/~rupino <http://eden.dei.uc.pt/~rupino> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [wkwi] CfP Special Issue "Trust in AI for electronic markets"
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Jun '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP Special Issue "Trust in AI for electronic markets" Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:48:18 +0200 From: editors(a)electronicmarkets.org Reply-To: editors(a)electronicmarkets.org To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de . CfP Special Issue "Trust in AI for electronic markets" <https://ocis.aom.org/ocis/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthrea…> --- Apologies for cross-postings--- Call for Papers: "*Trust in AI for electronic markets*" in "Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business" Submission deadline: December, 15, 2021 *Guest Editors* Wolfgang Maass, Saarland University and German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Germany, wolfgang.maass(at)dfki.de Roman Lukyanenko, HEC Montréal, Canada, roman.lukyanenko(at)hec.ca Veda C. Storey, Georgia State University, USA, vstorey(at)gsu.edu *Theme* Electronic markets for trading physical, as well as digital, goods offer a wide variety of services based on Artificial Intelligence technologies, as smart market services. Smart market services generate recommendations and predictions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on data available and accessible in electronic markets. For instance, financial high-speed trading is only feasible by smart market services that autonomously execute transactions according to market signals based on AI models trained with big data. Electronic marketplaces, including Amazon and Alibaba, are using AI technologies to provide smart services to consumers, optimize logistics, analyze consumer behavior, and derive innovative product and service designs. Some business leaders even consider there to be major threats to society from sophisticated AI solutions, while using AI extensively for their own business. Because AI systems elude human understanding and scrutinization, trust in AI is crucial for the success of smart market services, as well as other AI or machine learning-based systems . Gaining trust in AI begins with transparency in the reviews of (a) data so that biases and gaps in knowledge of a domain are controlled, (b) AI models and objective functions, (c) model performance and (d) results generated by AI models for decision making. Trust becomes an important factor for overcoming uncertainty on AI-based recommendations in general and in electronic markets in particular. The quality of smart market services depends on shared understanding and conceptual models of data used for training AI models; data quality; the selection and training of appropriate models; and the embedding of models into smart market services. Providers of smart market services are required to build trust relationships with business and end customers based on limited possibilities for opening the "black boxes" of Artificial Intelligence systems due to increased complexity of machine learning models. Empirical studies on trust in AI indicate heterogenous results. Companies and end-users appreciate benefits and opportunities provided by smart market services. At the same time, concerns are raised with respect to privacy issues and biases of data, models and algorithms. Overly optimistic customers might become disappointed if smart market services do not deliver as expected. Proof of privacy leaks and biases might reinforce prejudices. Both may lead to decrease of trust in AI. Challenging research questions are to identify which methods, indicators and experiences have increasing effects on trust in AI. For instance, explainable AI is a technical means for opening "black boxes" of AI systems, generally, and smart market services, specifically. This special issue seeks contributions on trust in Artificial Intelligence in the context of electronic markets. Contributions that help to understand challenges from an economic, legal or technical perspective are invited. *Central issues and topics* Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: * Trust behavior and AI * Mental models, conceptual models and AI models * Psychological and sociological factors for trust in AI * Human-centric design of smart market services * Explainable AI for smart market services * Threats for trust in AI * Frameworks for smart markets * Business and legal aspects influencing trust in AI * Relationships between trust and Business models with smart market services * Transparency of data, AI models and recommendations * Case studies on building trust in AI *Submission*: Electronic Markets is a Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-listed journal (IF 2.981 in 2019) in the area of information systems. We encourage original contributions with a broad range of methodological approaches, including conceptual, qualitative and quantitative research. Please also consider position papers and case studies for this special issue. All papers should fit the journal scope (for more information, see www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/ <http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/scope/>) and will undergo a double-blind peer-review process.

Managing such systems puts an enormous burden on the operators in dealing with the abundance of data, oftentimes leading to severe economic implications. To mitigate this issue IT operators increasingly rely on tools from artificial intelligence for assistance in the operation of IT systems. Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is an emerging field arising in the intersection between the research areas of machine learning, big data, streaming analytics, and the management of IT operations. The main goal is the analysis of system information of heterogeneous type (metrics, logs, customer input, etc) to support administrators by optimizing various objectives like prevention of SLA violation, early anomaly detection and auto-remediation, energy-efficient system operation, providing optimal QoE for customers, predictive maintenance and many more. In this field, a constantly growing interest can be observed, and thus, practical tools are developed from both the academy and industry sector. We envision that, with the advance of AIOps technologies, the IT industry will achieve significant progress and sustained and exponential growth. The main focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to present their experiences, results, and work in progress in this field. A major part of the workshop is to strengthen the community and unite it towards the efforts for solving the main challenges. Topics of interest are the following: * Early anomaly, fault and failure (AFF) detection and analysis * Software dependability * Self-healing, self-correction and auto-remediation * Self-adaptive time-series based models for prognostics and forecasting * AFF identification, localization, and isolation * Root cause analysis * Adaptive fault tolerance policies * Forecasting of hardware and process quality * Performance management * Planning under uncertainty * Predictive and prescriptive maintenance * Maintenance scheduling and on-demand maintenance planning * Alarm correlation * Log analysis * Fault-tolerant system control * Resiliency, reliability, and quality assurance * Autonomic process optimization * Energy-efficient cloud operation * Distributed resource management * Autonomous service provisioning * Visual analytics and interactive machine learning * Active and life-long learning * Design of experiment (DoE) and benchmarking * Fault injection and chaos engineering * Use-cases, testbeds, evaluation scenarios Publication: Post-workshop proceedings in Springer’s LNCS series.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP "Trust in AI for Electronic Markets", Electronic Markets Journal Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:52:33 +0200 From: Wolfgang Maass <wolfgang.maass(a)dfki.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --- Apologies for cross-postings--- Dear colleagues, *Electronic Markets* is seeking submissions for a *Special Issue on "Trust in AI for electronic markets"*. Please find further details below. Call for Papers: “Trust in AI for electronic markets” Submission deadline: *December, 15, 2021* Guest Editors o Wolfgang Maass, Saarland University and German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Germany, wolfgang.maass(at)dfki.de o Roman Lukyanenko, HEC Montréal, Canada, roman.lukyanenko(at)hec.ca o Veda C. Storey, Georgia State University, USA, vstorey(a)gsu.edu Theme Electronic markets for trading physical, as well as digital, goods offer a wide variety of services based on Artificial Intelligence technologies, as smart market services. Smart market services generate recommendations and predictions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on data available and accessible in electronic markets. For instance, financial high-speed trading is only feasible by smart market services that autonomously execute transactions according to market signals based on AI models trained with big data. Electronic marketplaces, including Amazon and Alibaba, are using AI technologies to provide smart services to consumers, optimize logistics, analyze consumer behavior, and derive innovative product and service designs. Some business leaders even consider there to be major threats to society from sophisticated AI solutions, while using AI extensively for their own business. Because AI systems elude human understanding and scrutinization, trust in AI is crucial for the success of smart market services, as well as other AI or machine learning-based systems . Gaining trust in AI begins with transparency in the reviews of (a) data so that biases and gaps in knowledge of a domain are controlled, (b) AI models and objective functions, (c) model performance and (d) results generated by AI models for decision making. Trust becomes an important factor for overcoming uncertainty on AI-based recommendations in general and in electronic markets in particular. The quality of smart market services depends on shared understanding and conceptual models of data used for training AI models; data quality; the selection and training of appropriate models; and the embedding of models into smart market services. Providers of smart market services are required to build trust relationships with business and end customers based on limited possibilities for opening the “black boxes” of Artificial Intelligence systems due to increased complexity of machine learning models. Empirical studies on trust in AI indicate heterogenous results. Companies and end-users appreciate benefits and opportunities provided by smart market services. At the same time, concerns are raised with respect to privacy issues and biases of data, models and algorithms. Overly optimistic customers might become disappointed if smart market services do not deliver as expected. Proof of privacy leaks and biases might reinforce prejudices. Both may lead to decrease of trust in AI. Challenging research questions are to identify which methods, indicators and experiences have increasing effects on trust in AI. For instance, explainable AI is a technical means for opening “black boxes” of AI systems, generally, and smart market services, specifically. This special issue seeks contributions on trust in Artificial Intelligence in the context of electronic markets. Contributions that help to understand challenges from an economic, legal or technical perspective are invited.

Smart cities define an emerging paradigm containing heterogeneous network infrastructure, ubiquitous sensor devices, big data processing, and intelligent control systems. Their primary purpose is to improve the quality of life of the citizens by providing intelligent services in a wide variety of aspects like transportation, environment, energy, etc. Big data analytics and operations research play an important role in enabling and delivering such intelligent services. Therefore, understanding how to use big data analytics and optimization for the operation and management of a smart city from different aspects, such as the allocation of power stations for electric taxis, charging batteries for car sharing, renewable power storage facilities for metros, and the charge/discharge management for all power storage facilities has aroused widespread concern in both academia and practice. Solving smart city issues can be costly and complicated and requires us to develop novel research approaches based on empirical data to provide more appropriate solutions to build smart city plans. The purpose of this special issue is to publish insights and viewpoints from scholars regarding solutions to smart city issues and challenges from different aspects, including the resource allocation and optimization of power stations, the location and capacity for shared car parking space, transportation strategy, and operation management of car sharing. Some topics of interest may include but are not limited to: Rigorous case studies on using data analytics for smart city development issues Data analytics for improving smart city operations efficiency Data analytics for car-sharing demand prediction Data analytics for transportation security The impact of smart cities on social welfare The application of data analytics to predict traffic congestion Using smart city visibility data for resource allocation Security-driven supply chain innovation The charge and discharge management of energy storage facilities such as subway capacitors, shared car batteries, and electric taxi batteries Submission and review process Please prepare the manuscript according to the journal’s “Guide for Authors and submission guidelines”.
