It provides a forum for those working on information technology in the context of healthcare. We welcome both research-in-progress and completed work on a broad range of topics and methodologies. Authors do not have to be SIG-Health members to participate. Please note that the papers do not have to fit the theme, just relate to health IT in general. The papers will not be included in conference proceedings and so authors retain all copyrights to their work. However, accepted papers will be listed with author names, affiliations and title on the AIS SIG-Health website. Authors will have the option to include their final extended abstract on the website as well. The workshop is restricted to 40 participants and will include presentations and roundtable discussions. All submitted work will be reviewed by the co-chairs and other workshop authors. All accepted papers will then be presented and discussed during roundtable discussions to provide authors with help, feedback, suggestions, and to facilitate future collaborations. We will have 3-5 authors per table to facilitate discussion. The two papers with highest review scores may be presented to all workshop attendees. The interactive format of the workshop is geared towards providing a high degree of feedback to authors with promising early-stage work, but is certainly open to developed and completed research as well.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue on Products of Theorizing Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 13:37:42 -0500 From: Nik Rushdi Hassan <nhassan(a)d.umn.edu> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce and launch the Journal of Information Technology (JIT) Special Issue titled "Products of Theorizing: Towards Native Theories of Emerging Information Technology" (click here for more details) <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JEiENIg25RtBPYqzoucc3-uTrNT2Wl1M/view?usp=…>. The goal of this special issue is to showcase exemplars from the “products of theorizing” approach that focus on approximations of IS theory. This “products of theorizing” perspective on theory celebrates the outputs of the “interim struggles” (Weick, 1995) that characterize theory generation. It holds the promise that interim conceptual artefacts of theorizing such as models, metaphors, frameworks and concepts that belong to the discipline are valuable as they can be leveraged and exploited further in subsequent research. In this way, a discipline might inch its way towards native theories over time. We are looking for articles that go beyond derivative theories and push the envelope of theorizing towards native products of theorizing. To ensure that submissions meet the goals of the special issue, authors are encouraged to submit an extended abstract to the editors (myself, Nik Rushdi Hassan, nhassan(a)d.umn.edu, Leslie Willcocks (willcockslp(a)aol.com ), Suzanne Rivard (suzanne.rivard(a)hec.ca) and Ulrike Schultze (uschultz(a)smu.edu) by Oct 24, 2021. The SIGPHIL will also be holding a workshop at ICIS 2021 (Austin) on Dec 12-13 based on the same theme (Products of Theorizing) <https://sigphil.wordpress.com/9th-concurrent-sigphilicis-workshop-on-produc…>. Submissions are due on Jan 15, 2022. Sincerely Nik, Leslie, Suzanne & Ulrike -- Nik Rushdi Hassan, PhD and Assoc.

Fwd: [WI] PADL 2022 - Second Call For Papers - Abstract Registration Deadline October 1
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] PADL 2022 - Second Call For Papers - Abstract Registration Deadline October 1 Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 15:19:44 +0200 From: cfp(a)mat.unical.it Reply-To: cfp(a)mat.unical.it To: cfp(a)mat.unical.it [Apologies for multiple postings] === Second Call for Papers === 24th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2022) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States 17-18th January 2022 https://popl22.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2022 Co-located with POPL 2022 Conference Description ---------------------- Declarative languages comprise several well-established classes of formalisms, namely, functional, logic, and constraint programming. Such formalisms enjoy both sound theoretical bases and the availability of attractive frameworks for application development. Indeed, they have been already successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from database management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation fostered applications in new areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel and challenging problems raise many interesting research issues, including designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative programming, including functional and logic programming, database and constraint programming, and theorem proving. Topic of interest include, but are not limited to: - Innovative applications of declarative languages - Declarative domain-specific languages and applications - Practical applications of theoretical results - New language developments and their impact on applications - Declarative languages and software engineering - Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications - Practical experiences and industrial applications - Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom - Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and reactive languages PADL 2022 especially welcomes new ideas and approaches related to applications, design and implementation of declarative languages going beyond the scope of the past PADL symposia, for example, advanced database languages and contract languages, as well as verification and theorem proving methods that rely on declarative languages. Submissions ----------- PADL 2022 welcomes three kinds of submission: * Technical papers (max. 15 pages) Technical papers must describe original, previously unpublished research results. * Application papers (max. 8 pages) Application papers are a mechanism to present important practical applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in areas of research other than Computer Science. Application papers are expected to describe complex and/or real-world applications that rely on an innovative use of declarative languages. Application descriptions, engineering solutions and real-world experiences (both positive and negative) are solicited. * Extended abstracts (max. 3 pages) Describing new ideas, a new perspective on already published work, or work-in-progress that is not yet ready for a full publication. Extended abstracts will be posted on the symposium website but will not be published in the formal proceedings. All page limits exclude references. Submissions must be formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style. The conference proceedings of PADL2022 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program chairs about the place in which it has previously appeared. PADL 2022 submissions are handled through the EasyChair conference management system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2022. Important dates (tentative) --------------- Abstract submission: 1 October 2021 (AoE) Paper submission: 8 October 2021 Notification of acceptance: 5 November 2021 Symposium: 17-18th January 2022 COVID-19 -------- PADL is co-located with POPL, which will take place January 16-22, 2022, as a physical, virtual, or hybrid physical/virtual meeting. We will be monitoring the Covid-19 situation and will announce a decision on the nature of the meeting in time which will follow suit with POPL. Distinguished Papers -------------------- The authors of a small number of distinguished papers will be invited to submit a longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers related to logic programming, in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-progra…, and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming. The extended journal submissions should include roughly 30% more content including, for example, explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work and such like. Invited Speakers ---------------- PADL 2022 features two invited talks by: - Marcello Balduccini (https://www.sju.edu/faculty/marcello-balduccini/) - Shriram Krishnamurthi (https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/) Chairs ------ - James Cheney, University of Edinburgh - Simona Perri, University of Calabria Programme Committee ------------------- Andres Löh, WellTyped Chiaki Sakama, Wakayama University Daniela Inclezan, Miami University Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University Esra Erdem, Sabanci University Francesco Calimeri, University of Calabria Jan Christiansen, Flensburg University of Applied Sciences Konstantin Schekotihin, University of Klagenfurt Lionel Parreaux, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Marco Maratea, University of Genova Marina De Vos, University of Bath Martin Erwig, Oregon State University Martin Gebser, University of Klagenfurt Michael Greenberg, Stevens Institute of Technology Paul Tarau, University of North Texas Pavan Kumar Chittimalli, TCS Research, India Pedro Cabalar, University of Corunna Roly Perera, The Alan Turing Institute Tomas Petricek, University of Kent Torsten Grust, University of Tübingen Tran Cao Son, New Mexico State University Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

At MUM, academics and practitioners gather to discuss challenges and achievements from diverse perspectives, in a single track conference format. This year's conference aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous MUM conferences. The MUM poster track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to show and discuss their recent work on mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems, services, interactions and experiences. The submissions can also be about something that has not been fully designed, implemented or tested but shows great promise, has a provoking topic or only preliminary results, or summarizes several small-scale studies. Topics of interest are the same as mentioned in the CfP for short and full papers. Posters provide the opportunity for researchers to get feedback on early-stage work, discuss potential collaborations and burning issues in an informal manner with the MUM community. Topics could include, but are not limited to the following: * Architectures, systems, algorithms and other constructions tackling relevant technical challenges * Augmented, mixed, and virtual reality systems and applications * Case studies, field trials, or user experience evaluations of new applications and services * Conceptualizations and theorizations of the field * Context-aware and location-based mobile and ubiquitous services * Metrics and measures for evaluating and testing mobile and ubiquitous systems * Middleware and distributed computing support for mobile and ubiquitous multimedia * Novel applications for mobile and ubiquitous gaming, entertainment, networking, and advertising * Privacy and security related issues to multimedia systems * Social implications of mobile and ubiquitous multimedia systems * Tools and development environments for building mobile, wearable, and ubiquitous multimedia systems * User interfaces, interaction design, and interaction techniques for mobile and ubiquitous systems Poster submissions should be maximum 3 pages (excluding references) adopting the ACM Publication System (TAPS) workflow: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. The correct template for submissions is the single-column format in PDF. Submissions should be prepared using either the single column Word Submission Template or the single column LaTeX template (using the "manuscript, review, anonymous" style available in the template). Poster submissions must contain an abstract with less than 150 words that clearly states the poster's contribution to the field. Submissions will undergo a review process managed by the poster chairs. The authors of the accepted posters will receive instructions about the format of the poster. Poster must be submitted via EasyChair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mum20210> : (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mum20210). Accepted submissions will be presented as a poster at the conference. Authors are expected to bring the accepted posters to the conference site with them and be present throughout the posters and demos session of the conference. This year, we have all been confronted with significant changes caused by the corona virus outbreak. Based on vaccination data coming from Europe, the USA, and other countries, we are confident that MUM 2021 will be able to be organized physically. However, we plan for it to be a hybrid in-person event with support for remote participation for those who might not be able to travel to Belgium. We are currently considering which solution to use to be as inclusive as possible to those who will prefer to present and participate remotely. We will monitor the unfolding of the events in the short term and update the conference modality accordingly. Submissions should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission elsewhere. Submissions should not be anonymized and will undergo a single-blind review process. Final camera-ready versions of accepted submissions must be accompanied by a signed copyright form. Accepted posters will be included in the conference proceedings published by ACM Press and included in the ACM Digital Library.

While the very first AI systems were easily interpretable, the current trend showed the rise of opaque methodologies such as those based on Deep Neural Networks (DNN), whose (very good) effectiveness is contrasted by the enormous complexity of the models, which is due to the huge number of layers and parameters that characterize these models. As intelligent systems become more and more widely applied (especially in very ìsensitiveî domain), it is not possible to adopt opaque or inscrutable black-box models or to ignore the general rationale that guides the algorithms in the task it carries on Moreover, the metrics that are usually adopted to evaluate the ef-fectiveness of the algorithms reward very opaque methodologies that maximize the accuracy of the model at the expense of the transparency and explainability. This issue is even more felt in the light of the recent experiences, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and DARPA's Explainable AI Project, which further emphasized the need and the right for scrutable and transparent methodologies that can guide the user in a complete comprehension of the information held and managed by AI-based systems. Accordingly, the main motivation of the workshop is simple and straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need for effective intelligent systems and the right to transparency and interpretability? These questions trigger several lines, that are particularly relevant for the current research in AI. The workshop tries to address these research lines and aims to provide a forum for the Italian community to discuss problems, challenges and innovative approaches in the area. ====== TOPICS ====== Several research questions are triggered by this workshop: 1. How to design more transparent and more explainable models that maintain high performance? 2. How to allow humans to understand and trust AI-based systems and methods? 3. How to evaluate the overall transparency and explainability of the models Topics of interest: - Explainable Artificial Intelligence - Interpretable and Transparent Machine Learning Models - Strategies to Explain Black Box Decision Systems - Designing new Explanation Styles - Evaluating Transparency and Interpretability of AI Systems - Technical Aspects of Algorithms for Explanation - Theoretical Aspects of Explanation and Interpretability - Ethics in Explainable AI - Argumentation Theory for Explainable AI ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of original contributions, investigating novel methodologies to to build transparent and scrutable AI systems and algorithms. In particular, authors can submit: (A) Regular papers (max. 12 + references ñ Springer LLNCS format); (B) Short/Position papers (max 6 pages + references - Springer LLNCS format); Submission Site https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixia2021 All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance and technical quality. Papers should be formatted according to the Springer LLNCS Style. Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included in the submissions. Submissions must be made through the EasyChair conference system prior the specified deadline (all deadlines refer to GMT) by selecting XAI.it as submission track.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP Frontiers Research Topic on *Human Issues in Recommender Systems* Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2021 16:01:39 +0000 From: Bauer, C. (Christine) <c.bauer(a)uu.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Please forward to anyone who might be interested* Apologies for cross-posting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In collaboration with Frontiers in Big Data’s special section in Recommender Systems, we are bringing researchers together to contribute to a Research Topic on: *Human Issues in Recommender Systems* Topic Editors: - Dr. Bruce Ferwerda, Jönköping University, Jönköping, Sweden - Dr. Christine Bauer, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/23412/human-issues-in-recommend… Submissions are ongoing with the final submission deadline for manuscripts to be considered on 31 January 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Recommendation systems (or recommender systems) have become a pervasive ingredient in our everyday lives. Such systems assist people to navigate immense amounts of content. In doing so, recommenders help people find and discover various types of content and goods, including movies, music, books, food, or dating partners. When researching on, developing, or employing recommender systems, we have a social responsibility to care about the impact of their technology on individual people (this includes the roles of users, providers, and other stakeholders) and on society. This involves building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying recommender systems that are fair, transparent, and beneficial to society. It is a combination of many aspects that make a recommender system successful. In this Research Topic, we zoom in on humans. The goal is to better understand humans' perceptions, needs, and the impact that recommender systems may have on humans. For instance, the call for fair and transparent recommenders is increasingly getting stronger. But what is fair? What is beneficial for society? And how can we achieve that? Early research in the field of fair and transparent fair recommender systems has been inspired by research in the machine learning domain, where we can observe a particular focus on the algorithmic perspective. With this Research Topic, we want to show the bigger picture of the human issues, for instance, concerned with fair and transparent recommender systems. Recommender systems have an impact on individual people in the various roles they take (e.g., users, providers, and other stakeholders) and on society. What is fair and transparent from various perspectives? How can fairness and transparency be achieved? And how are the resulting recommendations perceived? We welcome original research papers addressing human issues in recommenders, reporting research on theory and/or practice. The type of research may include but is not limited to, explorative studies, experiments, or methodological approaches studying human issues. Topics of interest related to human issues include, but are not limited to, the following: - Perception and expectations of stakeholders (e.g., users, providers); - Human factors (e.g., humans-in-the-loop); - Humanistic theory (e.g., philosophical, moral, and ethical analysis); - Real-world cases and applications; - Algorithmic development, measurement, and evaluation (e.g., bias and discrimination); - Data (e.g., bias and discrimination). For more information about the Research Topic, information on manuscript preparation, and related matters, please see: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/23412/human-issues-in-recommend… Although the deadline for submission of manuscripts to this Research Topic is 31 January 2022, papers will be reviewed and published as they are received. Submitting an abstract before submitting the manuscript is encouraged but not required. We are looking forward to your contribution to the Research Topic.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 11th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (online) - (EEWC 2021) Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2021 16:51:27 +0000 From: EEWC 2021 <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org **Eleventh Enterprise Engineering Working Conference** /November 11th - 12th and December 16th - 17th 2021 (online)/ Important new Dates (1st submission window): October 4th: Abstract submission deadline October 18th: Submission deadline for initial versions of papers November 8th: Final versions of papers for presentation The 2021 Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2021) will be the 11th working conference addressing the field of Enterprise Engineering. It will be a special conference, as the CIAO! network <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=X3neXoUZomikU9kEn4hnTN/7inlGKu3Iu…> , the EE-Network.eu <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=eP4idwVl5/2Vl6vNk1uGKN/7inlGKl3Iu…> , and the EE Institute <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=33kPQESiBmGja1Hxv4Hvnt/7inlGKl3Iu…> will join forces to become an integrated network, concerned with the development of theory-based and practice-proven methods, techniques, and tools for enterprise engineering. The new network will provide a platform to further strengthen our activities, such as: academic events, and the EEWC <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=lq1zgWZXDSaJpw1xE0og9t/7inlGKl3Iu…> working conference in particular, the development of an EE body of knowledge, joint research projects, outreach events such as EE Insights, a doctoral consortium and joint PhD training and supervision, courses and certification for practitioners. The formal kick-off of the new network will take place during this year's EEWC. Due to Covid-19 and related travel restrictions, it has been decided that EEWC 2021 will take place, as in 2020, in an on-line format. Nevertheless, the goal remains to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, balancing rigour and relevance, as well as to facilitate profound discussions on the discipline of enterprise engineering <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=vrIRDx9kHEiKoyDLE2cTYN/7inlGKh3Iu…> . Furthermore, as in earlier years, the proceedings of EEWC 2021 will be published as post-conference proceedings in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPZ72qAFwSj445/N/7inlGKo3Iu…> (LNBIP). The use of post-conference proceedings enables the authors to update their submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as the discussions during the conference, which truly underlines the/ working conference/ character of EEWC. In maintaining the online format, we will take this opportunity to keep our EEWC conference in a community-driven working event. More specifically, the plan is to have each paper go through the following process: Each submitted paper (via EasyChair) will be reviewed by three reviewers. The reviewers will be asked (1) if the current version of the paper is good enough to be presented at the discussion sessions. The discussions on the online platform will happen during the conference days. With sufficient time before conference paper presentation/discussion rounds, PC-chairs will, based on reviews, make a selection of papers that are to be presented. Some of these papers will already obtain confirmation of publication in Springer proceedings, some will be conditionally accepted and, after the conference, might be accepted. The authors will then have the option to provide an updated version of their papers to be presented at the online conference. In addition, they will be requested to provide a 15 minute pre-recorded video with a presentation as a fallback solution in case the online presentation fails due to bandwidth problems. These should be provided before the actual conference presentations will take place, according to the dates below. Close to the conference days, the community will be able to read the updated version of the paper watch the pre-recorded video and initiate discussions on an online forum. During the actual conference days, video-meetings will be organised in which the papers (and presentations) will be discussed in more detail. After the conference, authors are required to submit an updated version of their paper taking into account the discussions and chairs' feedback. The latter will be re-assessed by the reviewers. Based on this, the final selection of papers to be included in the post-proceedings will be made. The above structure also allows us to be rather flexible in terms of submission deadlines as per the dates specified below. **Proceedings** The proceedings of the working conference will, as always, be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPZ72qAFwSj445/N/7inlGKo3Iu…> (LNBIP). As in the previous years, the EEWC working conference will use post-conference proceedings. This enables the authors to update their submissions based on the feedback from reviewers, as well as the discussions during the working conference. Additionally, it provides us with more flexibility regarding the submission and reviewing process. **Relevant Topics** Topics of interest to for the EEWC include, but are not limited to: Specific aspects of enterprises: Business processes Business rules Information systems Software architectures Cross cutting concerns for enterprises: FAIR principles on good data management Regulatory compliance Sustainability Cyber risks Governance Coherence Resilience & antifragility Specific activities within enterprise engineering: Architecture Design Transformation Creation & use of reference models Tool support for enterprise engineering Foundations of enterprise engineering: Cybernetics Complex adaptive systems Foundations of (conceptual) modelling Fact-based thinking & modelling Enterprise ontology Normalised systems theory Foundational ontologies Collaborative & participatory modelling & design Application of enterprise engineering: Case studies in enterprise engineering Application of enterprise engineering in specific sectors / industries **S*ubmission*** Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP web page mentioned above. For the actual submission, please go to our Easychair conference web page <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=J6UcsPbmyxOIgqTnXZDevd/7inlGKq3Iu…> . ***Important Dates*** First window of submissions Deadline for submission of abstracts: 04-10-2021 Submission deadline for initial versions of papers: 18-10-2021 Notification of acceptance (full or conditional): 01-11-2021 Paper presentation/discussion - first round Presentation & updated paper available for viewing: 08-11-2021 Conference & video call based discussions: 11,12-11-2021 Second window of submissions Deadline for submission of abstracts: 08-11-2021 Deadline for initial versions of papers: 06-12-2021 Paper presentation/discussion - second round Presentation & updated paper available for viewing: 13-12-2021 Conference & video call based discussions: 16,17-12-2021 Post-conference versions of papers due: 06-01-2022 Final notification of acceptance to post-proceedings: 20-01-2022 Camera ready: 03-02-2022 **Chairs** **P*rogram Co-Chairs*** David Aveiro, University of Madeira, Portugal Henderik A.
