-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 12th International Conference on Software Business ICSOB – Theme: Software Sustainability Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 20:47:55 +0000 From: Sonja Hyrynsalmi <Sonja.Hyrynsalmi(a)lut.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Welcome to 12th International Conference on Software Business ICSOB – This year theme: Software Sustainability! The 12th International Conference on Software Business ICSOB will be organized by School of Business, University of South-Eastern Norway, 2nd-3rd December 2021. We plan for a hybrid conference with possibility for physical meetings. However, the detailed setup is a subject to change depending on the development of the pandemic. Although the business of software shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherently unique features. It is making it a challenging domain for research. The examples of many successful companies show that software provides a unique benefit to its users. Moreover, software has spread all over the world and has permeated in many industries, which are not usual for software. In particular, software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a unique experience to their users. Companies that were engineering-driven become software intensive and struggle to keep up with the required speed of development and planning. Theme of the year: Software Sustainability Sustainability is derived from the concept of sustainable development and is defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development as “a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are made consistent with future as well as present needs“. There is an urgent need for sustainability management in many domains and areas, including software business. The special theme of ICSOB2021 is Software Sustainability. Research about software sustainability addresses sustainability concerns regarding aspects such as software product, software development process, strategy and policy, people, partnership, ecosystem, and business model. We welcome both research and industry papers to the conference. The papers should be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other conference or journal. We are looking for short position and practice papers (maximum 6 pages) that provide insights on the life cycle management of software products and industry case studies as well as full research papers (maximum 15 pages) describing novel approaches to software business for software products and services. The topics that ICSOB welcomes (but not limited to) are listed below: • Software Sustainability – sustainability of software products, sustainable software development, sustainable software business model, sustainable management in software development and operation • Software Ecosystems and App Stores – aspects related to software ecosystems health, ecosystem orchestration and governance, app economy, actors and supply network analysis, incentives and ecosystem-based business models • Software Business Development – aspects related to developing business models and business modeling for software products and services, effective business model change, and improvement, economics of software companies, mergers and acquisitions, internationalization, outsourcing and other strategies for realizing these business models. • Licensing, intellectual property and patents aspects and other legal aspects associated with software business – privacy and security is also welcome here • Software startups – aspects related to environment success factors for software business and startups, entrepreneurial process in software development, software startup processes, disruptive innovation and adoption of startups, competence, risk management and managing startup growth • Engineering and Management – aspects related to software product management, life-cycle perspective, continuous delivery, agile development, technical debt, platform governance, digital platforms, matchmakers, and value co-creation • Human value, morale, ethics and believes – human-centered design, ethical software engineering, AI ethics, transparency, etc. • Other aspects – games and gamification, software business education, disruptive trends in software business and the future of software business A selection of best papers will be invited to submit extended versions for tentative publication in a Special Section of Information and Software Technology published by Elsevier https://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-and-software-technology You are very welcome to submit your papers to one of these tracks via the EasyChair submission system : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsob2021 Important Dates • Abstract submissions: August 27th, 2021 • Full paper submissions: September 3rd, 2021 • Notification of acceptance: October 10th, 2021 • Camera-ready copies: October 29th, 2021 • Conference: December 2nd-3rd, 2021 A selection of best papers will be invited to submit extended versions for tentative publication in a Special Section of Information and Software Technology published by Elsevier https://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-and-software-technology You are very welcome to submit your papers to one of these tracks via the EasyChair submission system : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsob2021 Submission Formats Papers should be submitted in PDF format.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP - EdbA 2021 - Second International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral Analytics
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - EdbA 2021 - Second International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral Analytics Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 14:51:30 +0200 From: Benoit DEPAIRE <benoit.depaire(a)uhasselt.be> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [Apologies for cross-posting] ******************************************************************************** Call for Papers EdbA 2021 - Second International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral Analytics 1 November 2021 Co-located with the 3rd Int. Conference on Process Mining (ICPM) http://www.edba.science ******************************************************************************** The workshop aims to further the development of new (or the novel application of existing) techniques, algorithms, and data structures for recording, storing, managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing event data in various forms in order to gain insights into the behavior of various kinds. The workshop welcomes different types of submissions, i.e. original research papers, case study reports, position papers, idea papers, challenge papers, and WiP papers on event data and behavioral analytics. Important Dates -------------------------- - Abstract submission deadline: August 19, 2021 - Papers submission deadline: August 26, 2021 - Notification: September 16, 2021 - Camera-ready deadline: September 30, 2021 - Workshop: November 1, 2021 Scope -------------------------- Over the past decades, capturing, storing, and analyzing event data has gained attention in various domains such as process mining, clickstream analytics, IoT analytics, e-commerce, and retail analytics, online gaming analytics, security analytics, website traffic analytics and preventive maintenance, smart homes, and offices, just to name a few. It even resulted in the birth of new research domains such as behavioral informatics, behavioral analytics, and behavioral operations research. The interest in event data lies in its analytical potential as it captures the dynamic behavior of people, objects, and/or systems at a fine-grained level. While each of these domains has its own applications and idiosyncrasies, they share the common denominator of event data and the objective to analyze behavior. Yet, these domains also differ in underlying assumptions and techniques used. Therefore, the objective of this workshop is to provide a forum to practitioners and researchers for studying a quintessential, minimal notion of events as the common denominator for records of discrete behavior in all its forms, and to study, develop and discuss techniques and methods for behavioral analytics based on all kinds of events. The Event Data & Behavioral Analytics (EdbA) workshop considers as its starting point the presence of event data being recorded at various sources and contexts, being stored in various forms, and being considered for analysis of the behavior of various kinds. Event data at different levels of granularity are considered, ranging from frequent sensor-based events in IoT settings to recordings of aggregate or long-running behavior involving time intervals and rich information. Behavior often involves multiple entities, objects, and actors to which events can be correlated in various ways. In these situations, a unique explicit process notion does either not exist, is unclear or different processes or dynamics could be recorded in the same dataset. The workshop aims to further the development of new (or the novel application of existing) techniques, algorithms, and data structures for recording, storing, managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing event data in various forms. The workshop welcomes two types of submissions, i.e. original research papers as well as case study reports on event data and behavioral analytics. Topics of interest -------------------------- The topics considered in the workshop consist of, but are not limited to: - Augmentation of fine-grained event data to higher-order activities or behavior - Storage, integration, and querying of behavioral event data - Representation and analysis of event data without a unique case identifier (without case identifier or with multiple case identifiers present) - Monitoring and detection of complex behavior - Diagnosis of behavior, including root-cause analysis, variance analysis, cluster analysis and many other exploratory analysis techniques - Visual analytics of (complex) behavior - Behavior Pattern detection, e.g., in real-time location data or other types of context-rich data - Outlier Behavior Detection - Behavior Prediction - Prescriptive analytics which predicts behavior and prescribes which action could steer behavior in a specific direction Submissions ----------------- We are interested in original research papers, case study reports, position papers, idea papers, challenge papers, and WiP papers. Submissions must use the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format (see the instructions [1]) and cannot exceed 12 pages (always including tables, figures, the bibliography, and appendices). Only papers in English will be considered and must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair portal [2]. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series.

The prime goals of disaster and emergency management (DEM) are to save lives and protect communities and their assets and the environment from natural, technological, and human-made disasters. DEM planning and operations at the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases can be empowered by advances in new methodologies and technologies. Emerging and growing agent-based modeling (ABM) and artificial intelligence (AI) and their combinations can help professionals, decision makers, and operators to achieve DEM goals better, faster, and more equitably. This issue aims to demonstrate: 1. how ABM and AI can change the way we understand, identify, model, assess, and manage risks associated with different natural, technological, and human-made hazards; 2. how ABM and AI can enhance individual, community, national, and global preparedness against large hazardous events; 3. how ABM and AI can be used to assist emergency management agencies and organizations in responding to major disaster events; and 4. how ABM and AI can support disaster relief, short-term and long-term recovery, and reconstruction efforts. We are looking for papers that answer one or a combination of the above questions using agent-based modeling, artificial intelligence, or a combination of the two. Deadline for manuscript submissions is 31st October 2021. For more information, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/si/88042 Dr. Ali Asgary Dr. Mahdi Najafabadi Guest Editors Mahdi M.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] New Article: Determinants of Digital Divide using Demand-Supply Framework: Evidence from India Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 08:15:03 +1000 From: Ajis Editor <ajis.eic(a)gmail.com> To: ISHoDs <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, ISAus <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au>, AJIS Editor-in-Chief <ajis.eic(a)gmail.com> The Australasian Journal of Information Systems has just published its latest article: *Determinants of Digital Divide using Demand-Supply Framework: Evidence from India* *A. Guha, M. Mukerji* https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v25i0.3029 Recently, India has seen high economic growth with an increased availability and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). However, ICT penetration in India is much less when compared to global averages. There exists a substantive level of inequality in ICT access and use. Empirical studies on digital divide in India are few, especially those with a theoretical demand-supply framework, using consistent and reliable pan data. This paper examines the digital divide in India across socio-economic classes and different political-geographic regions. The demand equations for two ICT instruments – Internet and mobile phone - are estimated for households aggregated at subnational level. An econometric model identifies demand and supply side factors shaping differential access by households. Findings indicate the digital divide is a reflection of the existing socio-economic divide. On the demand side, socio-economic inequality manifests in the economic conditions of households, social category, occupational profile, age and education status are key determinants of district level digital divide. Supply side factors: availability of electricity, mobile network and extent of urbanization also play an important role. #DigitalDivide #KeyDeterminants #Econometrics #India #Census -- Professor Karlheinz Kautz Editor-in-Chief Australasian Journal of Information Systems http://journal.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/index -- The AJIS provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The journal has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of Information Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business Deans' Council. In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO, it is listed in Cabell's International Directory and is indexed by EBSCO, Elsevier, Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [KaRS 2021] Third CfP: 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2021 @ ACM RecSys Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:21:53 +0000 From: Vito Walter Anelli <vitowalter.anelli(a)poliba.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS 2021) https://kars-workshop.github.io/2021/ http://sisinflab.poliba.it/kars/2021/ Sep. 27th - Oct. 1st, 2021, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Submission deadline: July 29th, 2021, 2021 AoE [SCOPE] We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2021) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September the 27th to October the 1st, 2021. In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community on conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they are still at an early stage on offering recommendation capabilities by using the conversational paradigm. In addition, we have been witnessing the advent of more and more precise and powerful recommendation algorithms and techniques able to effectively assess users' tastes and predict information that would probably be of interest to them. Most of these approaches rely on the collaborative paradigm (often exploiting machine learning techniques) and do not take into account the huge amount of knowledge, both structured and non-structured ones, describing the domain of interest of the recommendation engine. Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), and Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this third edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge-bases and knowledge-graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user's feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo Papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Moreover, following the RecSys 2021 guidelines, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Shorter papers should generally report on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely. Longer papers should reflect substantial contributions of lasting value. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kars2021 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: July 29th, 2021 * Paper acceptance notification: August 21st, 2021 * Camera-ready deadline: August 28th, 2021 * Workshop day: Sep 27th - Oct 1st, 2021 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

In addition to many other techniques that are all gaining interest and importance in industry and academia. The SA4PM workshop aims at promoting the use and the development of new techniques to support the analysis of streaming-based processes. We aim at bringing together practitioners and researchers from different communities, e.g. Process Mining, Stream Data Mining, Case Management, Business Process Management, Database Systems and Information Systems who share an interest in online analysis and optimization of business processes and process-aware information systems with time, storage or complexity restrictions. Additionally, SA4PM aims at attracting research results on scalable algorithmic process mining solutions in general given that the work addresses how would such efficient solution function under streaming settings. The workshop aims at discussing the current state of ongoing research and sharing practical experiences, exchanging ideas and setting up future research directions. The list of topics that are relevant to the SA4PM workshop includes, but is not limited to: * Novel Algorithms for Stream-Based Process Discovery * Novel Algorithms for Stream-Based Conformance Checking * Novel Algorithms for Stream-Based Compliance Checking * Online Predictive Analytics * Online Recommender Systems * Online Case-Adaptation Techniques * Online Decision Mining * Online Recommender Systems for Processes * Real-Time Process Mining * Online Concept Drift Detection * Online Outlier Detection * Algorithmic Solutions for Process Mining & Big Data * Streaming Feature Selection Methods for High-Dimensional Log Files * Streaming Trace Clustering Methods * Architectures for Distributed Process Mining (from algorithmic perspective) * Architectures for Distributed Storage of Event Data * Adoption of Process Mining in Scalable Big Data/Streaming Solution (e.g. Apache Hadoop/Spark) * Leveraging Scalable Process Mining Solutions to Online Settings * Evaluation Methods of Streaming Process Mining Algorithms * Visualization Methods for Streaming Process Mining Results * Applications/Case-Studies of the Application of Online Process Mining * Process Monitoring * Online Event Mining * Graph Evolution Mining Methods for Process Mining * Time Series Mining Methods for Process Mining * Methodological Aspects of Online Process Mining * Fundamental Aspects of Online Process Mining. Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Authors are requested to prepare submissions according to the LNBIP proceedings. The page limit is set to 12 pages. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The submission should clearly emphasize the discussion aspects relevant to the workshop. Members of an international and solid program committee will review all submissions. Submitters are required to indicate if their data and software is publically available and if so, where and if not, why. Sharing both data and software is important for the development of the research area as a whole. We expect this low-impact demand will increase the visibility of our work and the availability of data and software to other researchers.
