by Gustaf Neumann 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of IJERPH (impact factor 3.39) on "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Public and Global Health: Promises, Expectations and Reality" Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2021 10:06:40 -0400 From: A K <arnold.kamis(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AI-driven health interventions and delivery have already started affecting the management of health services—from clinical decision making and predictions of mortality risk and healthcare planning to identifying disease outbreaks—thus addressing challenges in Public and Global Health. In this Special Issue, we would like to welcome papers which discuss the problems of suitability, reliability, and expectations of AI, learning, and predictive technologies in the Public/Global Health domains. This includes debates on the initiative for creating explainable and accountable AI to the public and to public health organizations. We would also like to receive papers which focus on the accuracy of the prediction apparatus used for forecasting in the time of pandemics, which may reveal their various perceptions, including public healthcare management and behavioral issues of individuals as well as societies. The three main themes of the Special Issue are itemized below. However, we also welcome any other research in progress and experiences of using learning and predictive technologies when the management of Public Health depends on our own manipulation of data and information generated during the COVID-19 pandemic. We welcome papers in three areas of Artificial Intelligence intersecting with Public/Global Health. 1. Learning and predictive technologies facilitating Public Health sectors’ decision making: trends, feasibility studies, practicality, trustworthiness, and expectations: - Predictive and learning technologies in the context of managing PHO domain knowledge including the impact of individual behavior and group dynamics to organizational impacts and government policies; - Text and data mining, text sentiment analysis, and public opinions for the Public Health sector and their impact on decision making; - Collaboration between PHO professionals and computer scientists: from creating joint, sustainable, reliable, and accountable AI algorithms to dealing with uncertainty, validation of models, interaction effects, and combinations (ensembles) of modeling principles; - PHO practices based on case-based, history-based, rule-based, or regression-based reasoning versus predictive and logic based computational inference typical of ML and AI algorithms; - Transparency of AI and predictive models/algorithms to PHO professionals and policymakers: searching for technically rigorous and accurate models and opaque black-boxes, or looking at the levels of their explainabilities, interpretability, and intuitiveness for PHO; - Detecting paradigm shift in PHO regarding the deployment of AI: searching for new models and expectations from AI promises. Public Health practitioners’/policymakers’ approaches to dealing with black-box model values in layman’s terms; - AI accountability to public, PHO practitioners, policy makers and governments: awareness of bringing new software technologies, computational methods, and data processing to address issues and problems of PHO and their decision making; 2. The accuracy of traditional statistic forecasting in time of pandemics and impact of data/software tools on their results: - Statistical and epidemiological models for predicting the outcome of epidemic/pandemic: characteristics, features, and parametrization (the role of R and its impact on modeling); - Impact of human behavior, healthcare organization functions, and efficient governance on statistical models in times of epidemics/pandemics; - Addressing the potentially biased nature of statistical models: provisions for uncertainty, validation, testing, and quality; - Improving the accuracy of the statistical models: from deploying software tools and collection/manipulation of abundance of data to creating new computational models and using predictive and learning technologies with AI algorithmic computing; 3. Statistical models versus computational models versus data models: do they affect each other and do we understand the impact of their potential inter-relationship on modeling and predictions in the times of pandemics? Perceptions of pandemics, from governance, political decisions, and healthcare management to cultural and behavioral issues of individuals and societies: - Human perception in modeling, predicting, and communicating the results of a pandemic; the impact of human behavior on the modeling and interpretation/communication of modeling results; - Converting the results of modeling and predictions into clear messages, best practices, and adaptable procedures when managing and living during the pandemic, applicable to various types of audience; - Assessing risks in the pandemic: how citizens, healthcare professionals, business leaders, government leaders, opinion leaders, and celebrities assess the risks, costs, and benefits of different responses to the management of the pandemic; - Scientific evidence versus persuasion when managing pandemics and making decisions: understanding the difference between abstract modeling/predictions and real life situations; - Going a step further beyond a list of DOs and DON’Ts when managing a pandemic by creating accurate, precise, and actionable perceptions; making modeling intrinsically sensitive to different cultures, debating a tradeoff between “saving lives” and downturns in economies, sharing information and data across borders, and developing trust among different parties and political establishments; - Debating pandemics as an (un)avoidable, treatable, preventable, natural phenomenon and the source for learning from the experiences of others.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Special Issue on Software-Defined Vehicular Networking Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 03:48:11 +0000 From: Adnan Mahmood <adnan.mahmood(a)mq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Apologies if you received multiple cross-postings of this CFP. ********************************************************************************** Call for Papers - Future Internet "Special Issue on Software-Defined Vehicular Networking" Deadline: August 31, 2021 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/SDVN ********************************************************************************** Summary: Over the past few years, considerable state-of-the-art advancements in the telecommunications and automotive sectors have empowered drivers with highly innovative communication and sensing capabilities, in turn paving the way for the next generation of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) which is indispensable for an efficient deployment of futuristic connected and autonomous vehicles. Nevertheless, the safety of both vehicular passengers and vulnerable pedestrians in the context of ITS is of paramount importance. In this aspect, sharing of timely safety-critical information and a seamless connectivity with the traffic management entities is extremely imperative not only for the purpose of collision mitigation but also for necessary guidance pertinent to the current and anticipated trajectories and their corresponding speeds for ensuring an efficacious traffic flow. Therefore, a secure and low-latent communication architecture is essential to satisfy the stringent performance req uirements of safety-critical vehicular applications. Although conventional vehicular ad hoc networks can offer a diverse range of safety and non-safety (infotainment) services, nevertheless, they suffer from inherent shortcomings, including but not limited to, lower bandwidths, higher end-to-end delays, and an unbalanced traffic flow. Additionally, modern-day connected vehicles are being equipped with hundreds of sensors onboard which has transformed vehicles into an ambient sensing platform, i.e., data collection device, thereby paving the way for the connected cars of the future. It is further anticipated that an average connected vehicle would be able to generate more than 5 TB of data for each hour of its driving. Hence, (a) tackling such a flood of data so that the meaningful information could be processed and accordingly utilized for vehicular safety applications in an efficient manner, (b) selecting appropriate radio access technologies so that the said meaningful information could be transmitted with high data rates and low end -to-end delay, and (c) determining where to carry out all of this processing (i.e., compute and storage) since if sent to the backhaul would not only increase the network management overhead but would also compromise the service level objectives of the safety-critical vehicular applications, is extremely imperative. To address the above-stated challenges, the notion of software-defined networking (SDN) is being extensively deployed for wireless networks, and as of late, the same has been investigated for vehicular networks by a number of researchers within academia and industry. This Special Issue, accordingly, welcomes original contributions to bring forth the state-of-the-art advancements in the subject landscape. Both high-quality surveys and technical contributions are welcome for this Special Issue. Topics include but are not limited to: Architectures for software-defined vehicular networks Software-defined heterogeneous vehicular networks Security aspects of software-defined vehicular networks Dynamic controller placement strategies in software-defined vehicular networks Machine learning/deep learning strategies for software-defined vehicular networks Energy-efficient software-defined vehicular networks Low latency in software-defined vehicular networks Integration of SDN and vehicular cloud computing Caching strategies in (5G-enabled) software-defined vehicular networks Integration of SDN and ICN for vehicular networks Crowd Collaborations for software-defined vehicular networks Keywords: Software-defined networks, Vehicular ad hoc networks, Internet of vehicles, Network security, Resource and mobility management, Tactile internet. Submission Instructions: For detailed submission instructions, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/SDVN. In case of any questions, please feel free to contact the Guest Editors.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP HMD 345 - CIO, CDO oder wie? Die Zukunft der Führung in der IT Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 05:37:33 +0000 From: Susanne Strahringer <susanne.strahringer(a)tu-dresden.de> Reply-To: Susanne Strahringer <susanne.strahringer(a)tu-dresden.de> To: 'wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de' <wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de> CC: Markus Westner <markus.westner(a)oth-regensburg.de> *Call for Papers *Zeitschrift: HMD – Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik (https://www.springer.com/hmd) Schwerpunktheft Juni 2022 (HMD 345): *CIO, CDO oder wie? Die Zukunft der Führung in der IT* Mit dem Aufkommen und der zunehmenden Verbreitung neuer IT-bezogener C-Level-Positionen in Unternehmen, wie dem CDO, entstehen eine Reihe neuer Fragen bezüglich der Relevanz und der Umsetzungsoptionen von IT-Führungsaspekten. Die mit einer zusätzlichen CDO-Rolle oft intendierte Aufteilung in Supply- und Demand-Side-Leadership oder die Vorstellung, auf diese Weise das klassische Ambidextrie-Problem lösen zu können, sind damit häufig verbundene Hoffnungen. Ob sich die mit solchen Doppelspitzen assoziierten Erwartungen erfüllen lassen, ob es temporäre oder langfristige Phänomene sind oder auch die Frage, welche neuen Problemen dadurch entstehen, sind Themenfelder, denen es perspektivisch nachzugehen gilt. Schließlich wird man sich langfristig auch fragen müssen, ob es – falls einmal die Trennung zwischen IT und Fachbereichen überholt ist – überhaupt noch solcher Rollen bedarf. Oder werden moderne Technologien, wie KI, und deren zunehmende Nutzung in der Praxis die Bedeutung dieser Rollenprofile und ihre Verantwortlichkeiten stärken oder ihre Ausrichtung verändern? Auch klassische Themen zu Reporting-Strukturen und die Integration in das Top Management Team (TMT) sind unter diesen Gesichtspunkten immer wieder neu zu diskutieren. Neben den Unternehmen, die möglicherweise eher mehr als weniger C-Level-Verantwortung für IT-bezogene Aufgaben etablieren, gibt es eine Reihe von Unternehmen, denen es gar nicht oder nur schwerlich gelingt, vergleichbare Rollen aufzubauen. Viele KMUs können sich heute noch keine Top-Management-IT- oder -Digitalisierungspositionen leisten und müssen kreative Lösungen finden, die notwendigen Rollen anders auszufüllen. Auch Einrichtungen im öffentlichen Dienst, z.B. Hochschulen, hadern damit, eine klare IT-bezogene Führung zu verankern. Aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Pandemie, zunehmende regulatorische Rahmenbedingungen und moderne Technologien haben aber gerade bei diesen Zielgruppen die Wahrnehmung verstärkt, dass ein Fortschreiten wie bisher perspektivisch nicht mehr möglich sein wird. Im geplanten Schwerpunktheft sind wir an allen Leadership-Themen rund um IT und Digitalisierung interessiert. Mögliche Themenfelder des Heftes sind daher u. a.: ·Zusammenarbeit und Abgrenzung von CIO, CDO, CPO, CTO, CISO und Zusammenarbeit mit anderen C-Level-Executive-Rollen (TMT-Integration) ·Führungsverantwortung für Digitalisierung ·Supply- und Demand-Side-Leadership ·CIO/CDO/CPO/CTO/CISO-Fähigkeiten und -Kompetenzen ·Entwicklungspfade IT-bezogener Führungsrollen ·Moderne Rollenbilder von CxO-Executives mit IT-Bezug ·Einfluss von neuen Technologien auf die Führung in der IT ·CIO/CDO-Rollen in KMU, in Hochschulen und im öffentlichen Dienst *Zeitplan* ·Artikelidee per E-Mail an Hrsg. gerne bis ca. 1.10.2021 ·Einreichung des vollständigen Beitrags bis 15.12.2021 ·Übermittlung der Gutachten an Autoren bis ca. 31.1.2022 ·Überarbeitung durch Autoren Februar/März 2022 ·Redaktionsschluss: 15.4.2022 *Kontaktieren Sie gerne die zuständigen Heftherausgeber: * ·Prof. Dr. Susanne Strahringer (susanne.strahringer(a)tu-dresden.de) ·Prof. Dr. Markus Westner (markus.westner(a)oth-regensburg.de) *PDF-Version des CfP*: https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/193757… Prof. Dr. Susanne Strahringer Technische Universität Dresden Fakultät Wirtschaftswissenschaften – Faculty of Business and Economics Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik, insbes.

The United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, have defined Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include concepts such as (1) no poverty, (2) zero hunger, (3) good health and wellbeing, (4) quality education, (5) gender equality, (6) clean water and sanitation, (7) affordable and clean energy, (8) decent work and economic growth, (9) industry, innovation, and infrastructure, (10) reduced inequalities, (11) sustainable cities and communities, (12) responsible consumption and production, (13) climate action, (14) life below water, (15) life on land, (16) peace, justice, and strong institutions, and (17) partnership for the goals. Over the past two decades, public administrations around the world and at all levels and branches have embarked on numerous modernization initiatives and improvement measures that heavily rely on modern information and communication technologies (ICTs). These efforts and outcomes have commonly been labeled “Digital Government”, which per definition encompasses the use of information technology to support government operations, engage citizens, and provide government services. Digital Government can be viewed at least through four lenses, all of which can be set into relationship to the seventeen SDGs: (1) ICTs in government operations and management, (2) ICTs in democracy and citizen engagement, (3) ICTs in government services, and (4) ICTs in public policy. Obviously, the intersections between the various SDGs and the four lenses of digital government provide a vast array for investigating and evaluating current practices as well as identifying and describing future opportunities for advancing the seventeen SDGs by means and methods of digital government, which as an outcome would help to make the overall human experience sustainable, but even more so provide the entire global biosphere (humans included) with a safe and livable space. We invite submissions of high-quality papers that employ quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research approaches.
