-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Journal of IT Case and Application Research (JITCAR) 23(4)th issue is now published Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 23:25:40 +0000 From: Bansal, Gaurav <bansalg(a)uwgb.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> I am pleased to present the 23(4)th issue of the Journal of IT Case and Application Research (JITCAR). The contents of this issue are an editorial preface article by Dr. Suprateek Sarkar; case-based research article authored by Dr. Zixing Shen; a teaching case authored by Dr. Hyung Koo Lee, Tianjie Deng & Sumantra Sarkar; expert opinion report written by Dr. Vic Matta, and the book review presented by Dr. Bryan Hosack. Summary information on these items is as follows. In the editorial preface article, Ten Statements Related to Qualitative Research in IS: True or False? Suprateek guides the readers through ten frequently held beliefs about qualitative research in our IS community, some of which are not necessarily true. The article helps to provide clarity about qualitative research and how authors and reviewers sometimes misunderstand this form of research. We believe the advice will help researchers from IS and other related fields investigate and analyze IS-related phenomena using a qualitative research lens. The first research article is titled Effects of Information Technology on Temporal Experiences: Findings from a Hospital Emergency Department. The study examines how the use of IT affects the temporal experiences in the workplace. Using an interpretive case study in an emergency department (ED) of a hospital located in the Mid-Western United States, the study advances our theoretical understanding and empirical knowledge about IT-mediated temporal experiences. The teaching case is titled Developing CRMSys at SoftTel: Traditional or Agile? In this teaching case study, the authors provide a discussion case to facilitate the students' learning of using agile vs. traditional approaches in software development. This case study is developed based on experiences of multiple real-world software development projects. It is designed to reflect the complexities students are likely to encounter in actual software development projects. The case can be used in undergraduate or graduate-level management information systems courses covering agile software development approaches. The Expert Opinion report by Vic Matta narrates an interview with Josh Thomas. Josh has been the VP of Information Technology at Rocky Brands since February 2017 and has been with the company since January 2013. Rocky Brands manufactures premium footwear and apparel with almost 3000 employees worldwide and annual revenue of about $500 million. The umbrella of Rocky brands includes brands like Rocky Boots, Georgia Boot, Durango, among others. In the interview, Josh discusses the challenges his organization faced with COVID-19 and shares how he visualizes COVID-19 transforming IT in his organization in the future. He also provides valuable IT-related advice to practitioners, IS researchers, and students alike. The book review report by Bryan Hosack provides a critical analysis of the book titled DATA STORY: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story. The book was edited By Nancy Duarte and was published in 2019 by Ideapress Publishing. Bryan notes that the book presents a compelling case to use story when presenting data. According to Bryan, Duarte provides many powerful tools and compelling examples to consider when initially situating the story for explanation to a particular audience to influence and drive decision-making. I hope you will enjoy reading all the items in this issue. With best regards, Sincerely Gaurav Bansal ______________________________________________________________ Gaurav Bansal, Ph.D. Frederick E.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS2022 Cross-Cultural Perspective on User Generated Content Minitrack CfP Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 12:59:56 -0600 From: Yun Wan <yunwan(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: yunwan(a)gmail.com To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 2022 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minneapolis, August 10-14, 2022 -- https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/ We welcome full and research-in-progress paper submissions to the Cross-Cultural Perspective on User Generated Content Minitrack https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submission…> The utility of user-generated content (UGC) on enterprises, such as online user reviews, social media posts, and YouTube videos, is enhanced by the diversity of consumers’ cultural backgrounds. While some studies have found cross-cultural disparities in ethnic restaurant ratings, we are still learning how cross-cultural effects are manifesting themselves across the UGC spectrum, which includes everything from online customer evaluations to social media posts. With the globalization of web portals, the UGC has become widely used in cross-cultural contexts. Empirical research is urgently needed to investigate novel methods and frameworks on topics like textual characteristics of UGC by consumer profiles, sentiment analyses of UGC by national cultures, cross-cultural analyses of UGC for subjective goods like hospitality products and services, and the diversity of UGC responses by consumer cultural background. Finally, submissions that take a multidisciplinary approach beyond established national culture frameworks, such as Hofstede’s, are encouraged. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2022 Review decision: April 15, 2022 Revision deadline: April 25, 2022 Conference date: August 10-15, 2022 Mini-track chairs Yun Wan, wany(a)uhv.edu Makoto Nakayama, mnakayama(a)cdm.depaul.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS2022 Clinical DSS and COVID19 Minitrack CfP Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 13:23:07 +0800 From: Syed Nasirin <snasirin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 2022 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minneapolis, August 10-14, 2022 -- https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/ We welcome full and research-in-progress paper submissions to the Clinical DSS and COVID19 Minitrack Over the past 15 years, health practitioners have made increasing use of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to aid many critical health-based decision making to improve patient care. However, those who wish to gain from a CDSS must be concerned about what is involved in designing and developing the system in their institutions. Although much has been written about these phenomena in various DSS areas, a CDSS still requires proper planning based on a knowledge of what must be done to avert marginal development of the system. In addition, given the nature of CDSS development, findings obtained from previous studies are just likely to only offer limited illustration of the problems affecting CDSS development in practice. The requirement to look upon this CDSS design, development and implementation activities are so crucial as the world is dealing with COVID19. Health decisions would need to be made quickly, not just for proper COVID19 activities to take place but also to save lives. Examples of topics that would be appropriate for the mini track include the following (but not limited to): * CDSS and the management of COVID19 such as contact tracing, quarantining and vaccinations * Artificial intelligence and CDSS * CDSS and digital divide * CDSS, Industrial Revolution & Society 5.0 * CDSS development and implementation * CDSS evaluation and impact e.g., evaluation metrics and processes * CDSS foundation and principles * Multicriteria CDSS * Data warehousing, and big data analytics * Coordination of a CDSS's interface with its functionality * CDSS research methods * CDSS modelling & simulations * CDSS interfaces e.g., methods, tools, and techniques for designing and developing DSS * CDSS in public enterprises * CDSS in Endocrine and Breast Cancer * CDSS in emergencies * CDSS in developing countries * CDSS and other technologies such GIS, RFID, thermal imaging, and other real time technologies * Web-based and mobile CDSS, and relevant applications in areas other than those mentioned above IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 1 March 2022 Review decision: 15 April 2022 Revision deadline: 25 April 2022 Conference date: 10-15 August 2022 Mini-track chairs Iza Azura Ahmad Bahar, DSS Research Group, Universiti Malaysia Sabah izabahar(a)ums.edu.my Nik Amin Sahid Nik Lah, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah nike_opo(a)ums.edu.my Syed Nasirin, Faculty of Computing & Informatics, Universiti Malaysia Sabah snasirin(a)ums.edu.my Tamrin Amboala, DSS Research Group, Universiti Malaysia Sabah ramdzan_trn(a)yahoo.com Kind regards, S.

Fwd: [AISWorld] ScaDL 2022 - Call for Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Jan '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ScaDL 2022 - Call for Papers Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:21:52 +0000 From: Federica Filippini <federica.filippini(a)polimi.it> To: AISWORLD(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWORLD(a)lists.aisnet.org> [apologize for multiple posting] ScaDL 2022: Scalable Deep Learning over Parallel And Distributed Infrastructure - An IPDPS 2022 Workshop https://2022.scadl.org <https://2022.scadl.org/> Scope of the Workshop Recently, Deep Learning (DL) has received tremendous attention in the research community because of the impressive results obtained for a large number of machine learning problems. The success of state-of-the-art deep learning systems relies on training deep neural networks over a massive amount of training data, which typically requires a large-scale distributed computing infrastructure to run. In order to run these jobs in a scalable and efficient manner, on cloud infrastructure or dedicated HPC systems, several interesting research topics have emerged which are specific to DL. The sheer size and complexity of deep learning models when trained over a large amount of data makes them harder to converge in a reasonable amount of time. It demands advancement along multiple research directions such as, model/data parallelism, model/data compression, distributed optimization algorithms for DL convergence, synchronization strategies, efficient communication and specific hardware acceleration. SCADL seeks to advance the following research directions: - Asynchronous and Communication-Efficient SGD: Stochastic gradient descent is at the core of large-scale machine learning. Parallelizing SGD gradient computation across multiple nodes increases the data processed per iteration, but exposes the SGD to communication and synchronization delays and unpredictable node failures in the system. Thus, there is a critical need to design robust and scalable distributed SGD methods to achieve fast error-convergence in spite of such system variabilities. - High performance computing aspects: Deep learning is highly compute intensive. Algorithms for kernel computations on commonly used accelerators (e.g. GPUs), efficient techniques for communicating gradients and loading data from storage are critical for training performance. - Model and Gradient Compression Techniques: Techniques such as reducing weights and the size of weight tensors help in reducing the compute complexity. Using lower-bit representations such as quantization and sparsification allow for more optimal use of memory and communication bandwidth. - Distributed Trustworthy AI: New techniques are needed to meet the goal of global trustworthiness (e.g., fairness and adversarial robustness) efficiently in a distributed DL setting. - Emerging AI hardware Accelerators: with the proliferation of new hardware accelerators for AI such in memory computing (Analog AI) and neuromorphic computing, novel methods and algorithms need to be introduced to adapt to the underlying properties of the new hardware (example: the non-idealities of the phase-change memory (PCM) and the cycle-to-cycle statistical variations). - The intersection of Distributed DL and Neural Architecture Search (NAS): NAS is increasingly being used to automate the synthesis of neural networks. However, given the huge computational demands of NAS, distributed DL is critical to make NAS computationally tractable (e.g., differentiable distributed NAS). This intersection of distributed/parallel computing and deep learning is becoming critical and demands specific attention to address the above topics which some of the broader forums may not be able to provide. The aim of this workshop is to foster collaboration among researchers from distributed/parallel computing and deep learning communities to share the relevant topics as well as results of the current approaches lying at the intersection of these areas. Areas of Interest In this workshop, we solicit research papers focused on distributed deep learning aiming to achieve efficiency and scalability for deep learning jobs over distributed and parallel systems. Papers focusing both on algorithms as well as systems are welcome. We invite authors to submit papers on topics including but not limited to: - Deep learning on cloud platforms, HPC systems, and edge devices - Model-parallel and data-parallel techniques - Asynchronous SGD for Training DNNs - Communication-Efficient Training of DNNs - Scalable and distributed graph neural networks, Sampling techniques for graph neural networks - Federated deep learning, both horizontal and vertical, and its challenges - Model/data/gradient compression - Learning in Resource constrained environments - Coding Techniques for Straggler Mitigation - Elasticity for deep learning jobs/spot market enablement - Hyper-parameter tuning for deep learning jobs - Hardware Acceleration for Deep Learning including digital and analog accelerators - Scalability of deep learning jobs on large clusters - Deep learning on heterogeneous infrastructure - Efficient and Scalable Inference - Data storage/access in shared networks for deep learning - Communication-efficient distributed fair and adversarially robust learning - Distributed learning techniques applied to speed up neural architecture search Workshop Format Due to the continuing impact of COVID-19, ScaDL 2022 will also adopt relevant IPDPS 2022 policies on virtual participation and presentation. Consequently, the organizers are currently planning a hybrid (in-person and virtual) event. Submission Link Submissions will be managed through linklings.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final Reminder: CfA STS Conference Graz

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final Reminder: CfA STS Conference Graz Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2022 07:11:31 +0100 From: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de> Reply-To: kai.jakobs(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de Organization: RWTH Aachen University To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Folks, The 20th Annual STS Conference Graz 2022 'Critical Issues in Science, Technology and Society Studies' will be held 2 - 4 May 2022 in Graz, Austria (Covid-19 or any successors permitting, that is; right now, I'm not overly optimistic ... :-(( ....). For a couple of years now the conference also includes a session related to standardisation research. This year's session title is 'Standardisation for (the Digital) Society'; you will find the description below. You may find more information about the event via https://stsconf.tugraz.at/. The submission deadline for abstracts (up to 500 words) is 21 January. Submissions must be made via https://www.conftool.com/sts-conference-graz-2022/. Greetings from Aachen. Kai. *Standardisation for (the Digital) Society* Today, standards for the digital domain are developed mostly by engineers and computer scientists, typically employed by large companies. As a result, technical expertise and economic interests guide standardisation and thus technical development; societal issues are hardly considered (if at all). This is an untenable situation, especially considering the trend towards smart systems, AI and Machine Learning. These technologies have the potential to change society – for better or worse. “The shaping process [of a technology] begins with the earliest stages of research and development”. Standardisation represents such an early stage. This suggests to exploit the standards setting process to also contribute broader, non-technical (e.g. societal, environmental, legal and ethical) expertise to the standardisation of particularly the above technologies. This, in turn, requires active contributions from an additional broad range of stakeholders including citizens, NGOs, unions, (local) administrations as well as e.g. lawyers, sociologists and philosophers. This session solicits contributions that discuss aspects of such a ‘Responsible Standardisation’ from both a practical and a theoretical perspective. Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Possible contributions of societal stakeholders to standards development. * The role and representation of societal stakeholders in standardisation. * How to increase participation of societal stakeholders in standards setting? * Legitimacy and influence of different players in standards development. * Potential ethical and legal issues in the standardisation of smart systems, AI and Machine Learning. * Social norms and their impact on standardisation. -- ________________________________________________________________ Kai Jakobs RWTH Aachen University Computer Science Department Informatik 4 (Communication and Distributed Systems) Ahornstr. 55, D-52074 Aachen, Germany Tel.: +49-241-80-21405 Fax: +49-241-80-22222 Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/team/kai-jakobs/> EURAS - The European Academy for Standardisation. <http://www.euras.org> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP IEEE Conference on Business Informatics, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 20:05:31 +0000 From: Gordijn, J. <j.gordijn(a)vu.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> IEEE CBI 2022 Call for Papers The IEEE CBI series encourages a broad understanding of Business Informatics research, and intends to further its many different facets, theoretical foundations and experiential body of knowledge. In doing so, the CBI series has proven to be a fertile ground for research with high impact, and a hub for multidisciplinary research with contributions from Management Science, Organization Science, Economics, Information Systems, Computer Science, and Informatics. In line with this, the CBI series aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from various fields and backgrounds that contribute to the construction, use and management of IT-based systems and their organizational business context. A dedicated goal of the CBI series of conferences is to bring together researchers from different fields and disciplines to stimulate discussion, synergy and collaboration. Accordingly, CBI conferences use a format that enables in depth discussions among researchers during the conference. The benefits of such a cross disciplinary conception are contrasted by a challenge: Authors who submit a paper take the risk to be assessed by standards that are different from those they are used to in their own research communities. The conference organization accounts for this challenge by involving renowned track chairs and program committee members from different fields and disciplines. Submission Manuscripts must be in English and are restricted to 10 pages in IEEE 2-column template (A4). Template files for MS Word and Latex are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Submissions should be made via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeecbi2022 Accepted papers will be published as IEEE proceedings and submitted for integration into the IEEE Digital Library.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022): Final Call for Satellite Contributions Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 16:13:58 +0200 From: George A. Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Final Call for Satellite Contributions *** 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022) March 22-24, 2022, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=CQlHZW5lcmFsCWFpc3dv… Scope Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. Satellite Contributions - PhD Symposium: an opportunity for PhD students to present their research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence getting fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities. - Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers to disseminate the latest research developments in their projects and meet representatives of other consortia. - Industrial Track: a useful opportunity for the industry to disseminate the latest innovations and product developments in their field and meet other industry representatives. - Workshop Papers: three specialised workshops will be organised as part of ESOCC 2022; more information is available here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=CQlHZW5lcmFsCWFpc3dv… .
