-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [DSS Special Issue CFP] Blockchain Technology and Applications Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:17:03 +0000 From: Fan, Shaokun <shaokun.fan(a)oregonstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Update: The submission system is open now. Per the DSS journal policy, we are now processing the submissions to this special issue on a rolling basis. DSS Special Issue on Blockchain Technology and Applications Blockchain technology has received enormous attention since Bitcoin was launched in 2009 and has become the frontier of technology advancements and application innovations in recent years (Ilk, et al., 2021; Kumar et al., 2020; Shang et al. 2022; Zhang et al. 2021). In particular, blockchain is now recognized as a critical part of the new ABCD of modern technology, that is, Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud computing, and big Data. However, many research challenges and opportunities remain to be tackled and surmounted in areas such as blockchain infrastructure decentralization, blockchain network governance, blockchain security and privacy, and the nature of machine trust in blockchain-based systems. Because blockchain is an integral part of automated business processes, the implementation of this technology can vary greatly between organizations across different industries. The aim of this special issue is to highlight novel and high-quality research in blockchain technology and applications, and to examine the current and future impact of blockchain systems, and related technologies including data verification before block confirmation, authentication of data ownership, and dataflow across blockchain systems. Considering the decision-making focus of DSS publications that bridge the gap between managerial and technical perspectives, this special issue is open to all manuscripts that make a significant research contribution to blockchain systems and applications in business sectors such as finance, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain, education, and government. In terms of research paradigm, we invite manuscripts with system-based implications that draw on various analytical, empirical, and technical methodologies including, but not limited to, system development, econometrics, decision theory, operations management, experimentation, and engineering. We strongly encourage submissions that follow a design science research perspective (Hevner et al. 2004), which aims to develop cutting-edge IT artifacts.

31 Oct '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] First Call for Papers dg.O 2023 in Tartu, Estonia Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:10:49 +0000 From: Robert Krimmer <robert.krimmer(a)ut.ee> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear All, please see below for the CfP for dg.O 2023 taking place in Tartu, Estonia. Looking forward to many submissions, Robert --- First Call for Papers dg.o 2023: 24th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research Building safe and secure cross-border public services University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia https://dgsociety.org/dgo-2023/ https://eceps.ut.ee/research/dgo2023 The Digital Government Society (DGS) will hold the 24th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research – dg.o 2023 – in Tartu, Estonia, with a special focus on building safe and secure cross-border services. The conference main organizer is the ERA Chair of e-governance and digital public services, Center for IT Impact Studies (CITIS) in the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies at the University of Tartu. As the European Parliament and Council adopted the regulation establishing a single digital gateway on 11 December 2018, it set Europe on a very clear path of digital transformation, planned to be fully implemented by the end of 2023. This transformative change will greatly enhance the development of cross-border services as by then all national online procedures will have to be made fully accessible to cross-border users. In addition, the ‘once-only principle’ will be applied to cross-border exchanges of evidence for a range of procedures. All of this cannot be achieved and developed further without extensive collaboration between private and public sectors. Specifically, the conference aims to advance research and practice on cross-border services in democratic digital government. The dg.o conference series is an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, ICT and public administration, political participation, civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to rigor of theory and relevance of practice, their focus on important and timely topics and the quality of their writing. IMPORTANT DATES * January 20, 2023: Papers, workshops, tutorials, and panels are due * March 31, 2023: Author notifications (papers, workshops, tutorials, panels) * April 1, 2023: Application deadline for doctoral colloquium * April 15, 2023: Posters and demo proposals due * April 24, 2023: Poster/demo author notifications * April 25, 2023: Final version of manuscripts due in EasyChair * May 1, 2023: Doctoral colloquium notification / Early registration begins * May 20, 2023: Early registration closes OVERVIEW OF TRACKS TRACK 1: Data-driven Governance through Information Retrieval and Decision Support Systems Track Chairs: Charalampos Alexopoulos (University of the Aegean), Shefali Virkar (Danube University Krems, Austria) The purpose of this track is to critically examine the interrelationship between advanced decision support systems and big data analytics in the pursuit of improved digital governance, together with the associated benefits, challenges and risks. This track encourages the submission of high-quality and original papers on the theory, experimentation, and practice of information retrieval and decision support tools and techniques towards better (data-driven) governance; this primarily includes sources of textual information but could also include numerical data and multi-modal information. This track addresses a range of similar or related research questions, topics and practices regarding sophisticated information retrieval infrastructures and advanced decision systems, support tools and services. TRACK 2: Collaborative Intelligence: Humans, Crowds, and Machines Track Chairs: Helen K. Liu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Lisa Schmidthuber (WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria), Seok-Jin Eom (Seoul National University, South Korea) The collaborative intelligence track aims to investigate how human, crowd, and machine can complement each other to enhance public services and policies, such as healthcare services, citizen-government communication, bias and discretion reduction, smart city planning, etc. However, while the adoption of AI may enhance the citizens’ participation experience, there are potential ethical issues and implementation challenges in designing an optimal collaborative intelligence that includes both human collective intelligence and artificial intelligence. The collaborative intelligence track invites researchers and practitioners to accumulate scholarly papers that explore the interactions of human, crowd, and/or machine. Possible topics include strategies for collaborative intelligence or platforms in the public sector, designs for machine and human interaction in public services or policy making, comparisons of outputs and bias from AI, experts, and/or collective intelligence, values in collaborative intelligence management and governance, best practices of collaborative intelligence in the public sector, ethical concerns or guidelines for applying collective intelligence, or other similar topics and relevant approaches. TRACK 3: Innovative Services in Government: When Data-Driven Services Meet Evidence-Based Policy Track Chairs: Hsin-Chung Liao (National Chengchi University, Taiwan), Hsien-Lee Tseng (National University of Taiwan, Taiwan) The Innovative Services in Government track aims to investigate how public sectors can complement Services and policies by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as MyData, Once Only Principle (OOP), and application of single digital gateway, etc. To trigger these convenience services, civics data sometimes needs to exchange within government sectors (G2G), or to provide to private service providers (C2G2B). EU has published OOP which is to be fully implemented by the end of 2023. In 2019, the U.S. launched OPEN Government Data Act, taking a step further on implementation of opening government data. The Innovative Services in Government track invites researchers and practitioners to accumulate scholarly papers that explore the interactions of data application, data governance, and/or data policy. Possible topics include strategies for government open data sharing, data-driven services, data Principles, and best practices of public and private sector collaboration on data implementation, or other similar topics and relevant approaches. TRACK 4: Cybersecurity in Public and Nonprofit Organizations Track Chairs: Sukumar Ganapati (Florida International University, USA), Chris Reddick (University of Texas at San Antonio, USA), Michael Ahn (University of Massachusetts Boston, USA) Cybersecurity has gained a renewed and increased significance for public and nonprofit agencies as they have been major targets of various cyber attacks, particularly in the context of work environments during the Covid-19 pandemic. As these agencies transitioned their operations from face to face work schedules to work from home during the pandemic, they have had to cope with increased security risks with digitization of their programs and provision of online services. Without adequate cybersecurity, the agencies are vulnerable. Ransomware attacks, for example, could cripple critical programs (e.g. education) and services (e.g. utility). Cybersecurity is not only a technical problem, but also an organizational issue. This track will examine the pedagogical, public policy, and organizational dimensions of cybersecurity in this context. What are the educational implications for public administrators and nonprofit managers? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the various cybersecurity frameworks (e.g. “zero trust”)? Are cyber-insurance policies adequate measures? What are the elements of organizational cyber-resilience? We invite papers that broadly deal with these questions in the context of public and nonprofit organizations. TRACK 5: Design Models and Platforms for Trust Enhancing Smart Cities Track Chairs: Leonidas Anthopoulos (University of Thessaly, Greece), Soon Ae Chun (City University of New York, USA) Smart city utilizes the ICT to enhance living of local communities and make city operations sustainable against current and future challenges. The recent COVID-19 pandemic rapidly had to transition cities to virtual spaces where the ICT became the platform for work, socialization and transactions. However, this transformation did not utilize the smart city infrastructure designed with purpose for overall planning. The post-pandemic period finds cities to define their future strategies for transformation and innovations to serve citizens and businesses with the smart city infrastructure equipped with more advanced intelligent technologies to make cities more resilient to adversities and to promote better life. Citizens and the private sectors will be heavily rely on the smart city infrastructure. TRACK 6: Social Media and Government Track Chairs: Rodrigo Sandoval-Almazan (Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico, Mexico), J. Ignacio Criado (University of Madrid, Spain) and Loni Hagen (University of South Florida, USA) The implications of social media and government are evolving with the evolution of technologies and advances in the field. As it has been experienced during the last years, this area of digital government research is one of the most dynamic as new platforms, metrics, audiences, uses, or impacts emerge almost every year. Recently, we have learned that opportunities for innovation and potential challenges emerge from the last evolutions of social media and government. Here, issues regarding TikTok or virtual reality, among other social platforms and areas, have abruptly emerged as a global players in the entertainment sector, promoting government and other actors to engage with new audiences. Finally, new political challenges, including the polarization of the public sphere, raise concerns about the potential harm of social media for our democratic communities. For this year's theme, we especially will welcome papers related to safe and secure cross-border services and collaboration through social media platforms. In addition, we are open to other aspects of governments' service delivery and social media, including theoretical and conceptual advancements, methodological and data innovations, or case and practical implications coming from diverse contexts. We will welcome papers on both traditional and emerging issues, including opportunities, risks, and policies in public services delivery in cross-national contexts, social media motivations to use and audiences, political mobilizations and polarization, social media contents and sentiment analysis, fake news, artificial intelligence and algorithms-based systems and virtual agents in government, instant messaging apps in government, entertainment platforms for political engagement, or social media for crisis and emergency management. Also, we will continue working on including exciting research questions, rigorous empirical studies, and in-depth case studies to enrich the theories, research methods, data, and available cases and practical applications in this resea rch area. TRACK 7: Cross-border governance and service impact assessment Track Chairs: Robert Krimmer (University of Tartu, Estonia), Mihkel Solvak (University of Tartu, Estonia) & Carsten Schmidt (University of Tartu, Estonia) Fitting with the core theme oft he conference, the recent policy and regulatory initiatives of the EU, such as Digital Single Market Strategy, Single Digital Gateway, European Interoperability Framework and eIDAS 2.0, identify the need for digital cross-border integration in the EU. The achievement of the digital single market within the EU is challenging governments at all levels to transform or update their governance systems in order to establish the cross-border e-governance. The Single Digital Gateway Regulation (SDGR) and the underlying Once-Only Principle (OOP) outline that businesses and citizens in contact with public administrations must provide data only once. Until now many MS and associated countries have started to implement the OOP at the national level, but the cross-border implementation is still a work in progress. The SDGR as one of the cornerstones of the Digital Single Market for the EU will bust this development. This track will examine whether, and how these initiatives can foster further integration into a digital single market. TRACK 8: Developing active citizenship to boost citizen engagement through digital government Track Chairs: Edimara M. Luciano (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), Gabriela V. Pereira (Danube University Krems, Austria), Carmine Bianchi (Università degli Studi di Palermo, Italy) Citizen engagement has been mentioned as a barrier in several research focused on collecting more benefits from digital government strategies. Making public institutions open and transparent, and generating public value is a massive challenge that cannot prescind citizens’ participation in the process of thinking, discussing, modeling, approving, implementing, and evaluating public services and solutions. Consultation and participation processes have been bringing governments and society closer. However, there are new challenges to face, significantly in times when the trust of society in governments is compromised in many parts of the world and misinformation and disinformation issues are arising. Consequently, it is paramount to advance on understanding of engagement as an institutional, structural, social, cultural, and political phenomenon, as well as the individual cognitive process to decide to get involved at all levels, from town to nationwide public management discussion. This track focuses on discussing citizen engagement through active participation of citizens in the public discussion aiming at improving digital public services and digital government impact. We invite contributions from various backgrounds and disciplines. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Strengthening governance capacities for active citizenship; Frameworks, strategies, and nudges fostering citizen engagement; Digital government initiatives accomplishing engagement; Collaborative governance and collective decision-making processes; Soft policies for increasing participation and binding decisions; Antecedents and consequents of engagement and disengagement behavior; The role of leadership from government officials and citizens representatives; Active citizenship opposing patronizing approaches; Sense of belonging and social and political capital as drivers to active citizenship; Active citizenship contributions to social cohesion; and Engagement programs assessment. TRACK 9: Beyond Bureaucracy: Self-Governance of the Public Sphere and Innovative Use of Technology by Civil Society Track Chairs: Alois Paulin (University of Public Administration and Finance Ludwigsburg, Germany), Robert Müller-Török (University of Public Administration and Finance Ludwigsburg, Germany), Zach Bastick (Harvard University, USA) The “Beyond Bureaucracy” track explores innovations in e-government and e-democracy that place the citizen at the center of governance. While traditional lines of inquiry at the intersection of politics and technology focus on enhancing or supporting existing political institutions, there is an underexplored opportunity for citizens to use technology to shape the public sphere and to control government more directly. Internet optimists have long anticipated new, digital models of self-governance, including representative, direct, liquid, anarchic models. Critics have argued that technology cannot safely or desirably support greater citizen involvement. This track covers all aspects of direct, futuristic, radical, exploratory, and critical approaches to digital governance. These include the (un)desirability of using technology to support citizen self-governance; challenges to self-governance through technology; theoretical and empirical proposals; assessments of technologies to support governance; the impact of developing digital phenomena on self-governance (misinformation, bots, digital collective intelligence); and the ethical, technological, social, and political implications of existing and potential future models of public governance. The track also welcomes research and case studies on the innovative uses of technologies by NGOs and other non-government actors. The “Beyond Bureaucracy” track serves as a platform for pro/contra deliberations on the near and distant challenges and potentials of e-democracy. TRACK 10: Tech Diplomacy: global partnerships for global good Track Chairs: Nele Leosk (Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Estonia), Innar Liiv (TalTech, Estonia), Ingrid Pappel (TalTech, Estonia) Digital technologies play an increasingly important role in our economies and societies and brought new opportunities into the lives of people around the world. That in turn also have become key competitive parameters that can shift the balance of power as well including challenges and obstacles presented by state security and state censorship, media regulations, organizational culture, personnel challenges. The goal of EU Digital Diplomacy is to secure the EU global role in the digital world, to protect its strategic interests and to promote its dynamic, human-centric regulatory framework for an inclusive digital transformation[1]<about:blank%23_ftn1>. In terms of service digitalization and digital era, there exists a wide range of approaches based on other countries’ digitalization experiences, which might be considered when a country embarks on their own digitalization journey. TRACK 11: Digital Government Student Track Track Chairs: Bettina Distel (University of Muenster, Germany), Hendrik Scholta (University of Muenster, Germany), Karen Mossberger (Arizona State University, USA) This track addresses Bachelor and Master students and encourages them to submit and present their work at the conference. With this format, we aim to provide students with a first-hand experience of how research works and deepen their interest in academia. We want to attract the original work of students, facilitate a constructive and developmental double-blind peer-review process, and subsequent publication of their works. In contrast to the general research tracks, students will be the first authors of the papers in this track and present their work at the conference. We encourage supervisors to act as co-authors to ensure a scientifically guided paper development process. All topics in the area of digital government are welcome. For exemplary topics, please take a look at the topics listed in the other tracks. We are open to all conceptual and empirical papers that use all kinds of research methods. The participation in the student track will be possible online and offline. This track gives Bachelor and Master students the opportunity to actively contribute to the digital government community. TRACK 12: Assessing and Realizing Artificial Intelligence in Government Track Chairs: Sehl Mellouli (Université Laval, Canada), Marijn Janssen (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands), Adegboyega Ojo (Carleton University, Canada) In the last years, governments are trying to increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to support decision-makers and policymakers. In this context, AI is providing several benefits to different public services across different sectors such as finance, healthcare, security, agriculture, transport, education, and manufacturing. AI is based on a set of methods and techniques including deep learning, neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems, natural language processing, robotics and knowledge representation and reasoning. These techniques are evolving rapidly and governments should be aware of these evolutions and find the ways to effective harness and manage them. In addition, Governments are not only looking for new applications of AI in automated decisions and improving policy-making but also at the impacts that AI can have on the different levels of government. Yet realization proves to be more cumbersome and there is a need for assessment of AI projects from various views. Hence, the purpose of this track is to investigate how AI is being implemented and adopted in governments at different levels, what AI is adding to governments and how to ensure that AI adoption in government is safe and beneficial to the public at large. TRACK 13: Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Value Creation of Digital Government Track Chairs: Jing Zhang (Clark University, USA), Chris Hinnant (Florida State University, USA), Luis F. Luna-Reyes (University at Albany, USA) The adoption and implementation of new ICTs by public organizations have been influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, infrastructure, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, stakeholder involvement, organization’s structure and culture, as well as inter-organizational dynamics. Similarly, the adoption of ICTs in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations, as well as the new governance structure of the government and the societal impacts. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation, and investigate the impacts, especially the value creation, of new and emerging innovative technologies such as smart city, artificial intelligence, data analytics, big data, open data, social media, citizen-centric technologies, and other novel technologies. Furthermore, this track seek research contribute the theories and practices of the adoption of innovative policies or practices that seek to facilitate the strategic use of various ICTs by public organizations. TRACK 14: Blockchain-based applications for e-Government Track Chairs: Jolien Ubacht (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands), Sélinde van Engelenburg (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) Blockchain (BC) and distributed ledger technology (DLT) have the potential to improve government processes. Transactions and information exchange between governmental organizations (G2G), between business and government (B2G) as well as between governments and citizens (G2C) can be transformed by using blockchain-based applications. These applications can improve the efficiency of information exchanges (e.g. leading to less fraud and mistakes than paper based registrations) and can contribute to an inclusive society (e.g. by means of digital identities). In addition blockchain-based applications can support international public services for businesses and citizens alike. The implementation of blockchain-based applications requires solid analysis of the entire information chain, including the involved stakeholders and interoperability with extant information architectures. Moreover, blockchain initiatives have implications for citizen trust, privacy, inclusion and participation that need to be addressed in the design of the blockchain based applications. This track invites research that explores the impact and potential of blockchain-based applications in G2G, B2G and C2G processes that illustrate their contribution to public services and the creation of public values. We welcome use cases and a diversity in research designs, approaches and methodologies. TRACK 15: Mobile Government and Cross-border Service Interoperability Track Chairs: Thomas J. Lampoltshammer (Danube University Krems, Austria), Herbert Leitold (A-SIT, Austria), Gregor Eibl (Danube University Krems, Austria), Stefan Dedovic (University of Tartu, Estonia) Until now, many Member States (MS) and associated countries have started implementing the Once-only Principle (OOP) at the national level, but the cross-border implementation is still a work in progress. The SDGR, one of the cornerstones of the Digital Single Market for the EU, will bust this development. There is considerable potential to accelerate national and cross-border OOP scenarios and thus directly benefit the citizens via mobile government services, as the penetration rate of mobile subscribers within the European population is at around 86%, with significant growth rates in the eastern MS. Combined with the increasing need for mobility concerning employment and education, safe, resilient, and sustainable mobile communication is key to tapping into this potential. Hence, in this track, we want to highlight strengths and weaknesses related to the digital transformation and, more specifically, the transition not only into eGovernment but also mGovernment, including facets of the OOP, electronic identification (eID), and SDGR. A particular focus will be set on technical and legal aspects, as well as on governance issues. TRACK 16: Digital Government and Sustainable Development Goals Track chairs: Rony Medaglia (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark), Gianluca Misuraca (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain) The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are shaping the global agenda in multiple areas, including public opinion, policy, and research. The 17 SDGs, detailed in 169 targets, have an ambition of linking separate goals of sustainable development across different areas, into a unitary vision. The main consequence of this new vision has been to move the focus beyond the individual instances of e.g., environmental impacts of human activities, or economic inequalities, and to link them in a coherent system within the framework of the Agenda for the Sustainable Development 2030. Digital government can act as enabler to sustainability, equity and social inclusion and it represents a cross-cutting objective across several SDGs at both sectoral and horizontal level, with a crucial importance in particular for the goal 16 that aims to ´Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels´. This track invites contributions focusing on the potential benefits and challenges of digital government in supporting the achievement of SDGs and the role of digital technologies to sustain policy developments at both horizontal and sectoral level, including in particular the impact on democratic innovation and institutional reforms of governance systems. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS dg.o workshops are half- or full-day facilitated discussions. Discussions are typically stimulated by short presentations by workshop participants. Individuals proposing workshops will assume the responsibility of identifying and selecting participants for the workshop and for conducting workshop activities. dg.o tutorials are half- or full-day presentations or hands-on experiences offering deeper insight into the scientific or government domains, research topics or methods, technologies or field experiences of veteran digital government researchers and practitioners.

(Limit of approximately 1,300 words) System Demonstrations: System demonstrations are held concurrently with the poster session to the accompaniment of good food and professional fellowship. The 1-2 page summaries should outline the nature of the system and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest to dg.o attendees. Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in research or practice domains. Submissions should include authors' names and contact information according to that format. Each station is provided with a table, an easel, and Internet access. Monitors will be available for rent. Selected demo submissions may be asked to give an oral presentation in the conference sessions. (Limit of approximately 1,300 words) Pre-conference Tutorials: dg.o tutorials are half- or full-day presentations that offer deeper insight into e-government research, practice, research methodologies, technologies or field experience. In particular, tutorials provide insights into good practices, research strategies, uses of particular technologies such as social media, and other insights into e-government that would benefit researchers and practitioners. (Limit of approximately 1,300 words) Pre-conference Workshops: We invite workshop proposals on any e-government research or management topic. Workshops are half- or full-day events intended to offer interactive sessions, in which the workshop host and participants discuss and engage in activities designed to facilitate joint learning and further exploration of a particular subject. Individuals proposing workshops will assume the responsibility of identifying and selecting participants for the workshop and for conducting workshop activities. (Limit of approximately 1,300 words) Doctoral Colloquium: The doctoral colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research. Ph.D. students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect students at this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work and the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to submit an application. Material provided in applications to the doctoral colloquium will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP Special Issue on 'The Metaverse' - AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI)
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Oct '22

29 Oct '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP Special Issue on 'The Metaverse' - AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:38:03 +0000 From: Gert-Jan de Vreede <gdevreede(a)usf.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers - Special Issue of the AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) THE METAVERSE *Aim and Purpose The Metaverse can be viewed as the inevitable outcome of technological advances from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 to where we are now, the advent of Web 3.0 or the Spatial Web, where people, spaces, and things, both digital and physical, are semantically intertwined. Socio-economic activities will flourish in the Metaverse, creating value by establishing on-and-off ramps between physical and digital assets. The true value of the Metaverse may entail disruptive rather than incremental changes. For example, accessing the Metaverse will involve embracing new gateway interfaces like Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Reality (VR), haptic wearables, and even Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI). We are likely to create and hold more value in digital assets than physical goods, moving beyond mere comparisons of virtual products with their physical counterparts. Undeniably, the Metaverse is upon us. Yet, research in this space is limited, especially in areas such as the potential socio-economic value that could be generated in the Metaverse, the way individuals are likely to interact, collaborate and socialize in this extended reality, and the role of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in this space. Research in this area is needed, given the growing business interests in Metaverse-related technological developments over the past decade. The goal of this THCI special issue is to invite research on the Metaverse, especially with regard to how the confluence of emerging technologies will shape individuals’ perceptions and behaviors in this extended reality as well as their ensuing consequences. Potential topics include but are not limited to: - What are key design considerations, challenges, and solutions for the Metaverse? - What affordances and design elements are key success factors for e-commerce and/or branding in the Metaverse? - How can emerging technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR), be seamlessly integrated into the Metaverse? Under what contexts is each of them most relevant? - What business models are successful for the Metaverse? - How is value created and captured in the Metaverse? - How do new interface devices affect individuals’ perceptions and behaviors in the Metaverse? - How do individuals react to anonymity, curated identity, or transparency within the Metaverse? - How do teams interact and function in the Metaverse? - What is the role of data in the Metaverse? - What are key privacy, security, and ethical considerations in the Metaverse? - What are the downsides of the Metaverse and why do they manifest? - How can adverse outcomes of the Metaverse be adverted? *Submission Guidelines: Please follow THCI’s Instructions for Authors when preparing and submitting manuscripts. See https://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/authorinfo.html for details. All manuscripts will go through a screening process by the Special Issue Editors to assess their fit with the special issue and their readiness to be sent out for review. Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will go through the review process. Reviews will be conducted on a rolling basis. *Deadlines: Submission system opens: November 1st, 2022 Submission system closes: March 31st, 2023 First round decision: May 31st, 2023 First round revision: June 30th, 2023 Second round decision: August 31st, 2023 Second round revision: September 30th, 2023 Final decision: October 31st, 2023 Tentative publication date December 31st, 2023 *Special Issue Senior Editors: Lakshmi Goel, University of North Florida, USA (l.goel(a)unf.edu) Eric T.K.

Fwd: [AISWorld] JIT Special Issue "Next-Generation Information Systems Research Methods"
by Gustaf Neumann 28 Oct '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JIT Special Issue "Next-Generation Information Systems Research Methods" Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 18:58:13 +0000 From: Blohm, Ivo <ivo.blohm(a)unisg.ch> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology on: "Next-Generation Information Systems Research Methods" Special Issue Editors: Ivo Blohm, University of St. Gallen - Switzerland (corresponding Special Issue Editor: ivo.blohm(a)unisg.ch<mailto:ivo.blohm@unisg.ch>) Susanna Ho, Australian National University - Australia Shaila Miranda, University of Oklahoma - USA Jan Marco Leimeister, University of St. Gallen - Switzerland This special issue is interested in "next-generation" research methods for studying information technology (IT) phenomena - particularly in the information system (IS) research field. So far, IS researchers have applied a range of quantitative, qualitative and engaged methods to study IT-related phenomena. Quantitative IS research has often followed a positivist approach of hypothesis testing, with sometimes "first-generation" regression models distinguished from "second-generation" structural equation models (Gerow et al. 2011). Data used in such methods stems from surveys, experiments, panel studies, etc. The primary objective of this research stream typically is theory testing. Qualitative IS research has ranged from positivist to interpretivist, seeking rich situated insights via case studies, grounded theory or ethnographies. One objective of this research stream is theory construction. Critical and emancipatory IS research adds a strong value orientation and theoretical basis to qualitative research. Another type of IS research seeks to generate new knowledge with "engaged" methods like design science or action research. The objective of this stream that differentiates it from the first two is the focus on solving important individual, organizational or societal challenges; or extending the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by creating new and innovative artifacts (Baskerville and Wood-Harper 1996; Hevner et al. 2004). In recent years, the scope of and possibilities for IS research have tremendously widened. Digital IT have become mainstream at the individual, organizational and societal levels (Burton-Jones et al. 2021). Digital IT is key to innovation in various domains from medicine to education, from psychology to the arts. Hence, these domains have become of interest and relevance to IS researchers, yet also overlap with other fields and are hence interdisciplinary in nature. These innovations are increasing the volume and variety of trace data available to researchers but necessitate a shift in our research practices (Johnson et al. 2019). Further, big data, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies provide a plethora of powerful approaches for collecting and analysing data at a scale not possible before such that we might need to adapt our research methods and tools to make this data actionable and to generate novel knowledge. These ML technologies are being applied not only to theory testing but also to theory construction - in conjunction with or independent of qualitative methods (Miranda et al. 2022). This special issue focuses on the next generation of research methods to study IT - new methods relevant to the IS research field that account for a) the interdisciplinary nature and wider scope of IT phenomena, and/or b) the novel capacities afforded by new technologies/techniques (e.g., ML/AI). The way that novel technologies and techniques afford new possibilities is quite apparent in quantitative IS research. In contrast to "first-generation" regression-based approaches and "second-generation" structural equation modelling, a new generation of research methods including the predictive analytics (Shmueli and Koppius 2011), data mining (Smith 2020), ML (Shrestha et al. 2020) or explainable AI (Gunning et al. 2019) come with substantial new opportunities and challenges. For instance, these methods potentially allow for more fine-grained measurements and analyses to extend our knowledge of existing phenomena and may help us study novel phenomena including those that were, methodologically speaking, "out of reach" (George et al. 2016). These technological advancements enable us to progress our research toolkit and inform new ways of generating knowledge and theorizing (Burton-Jones et al. 2021; Shrestha et al. 2020). Increased recognition of abduction as a counterpart to deductive and inductive reasoning (Behfar and Okhuysen 2018; Sætre and Van de Ven 2021) pits concerns about practices such as HARKing (Kerr 1998) - hypothesizing after the results are known (aka p-hacking) - believed to lead to logically and scientifically flawed hypotheses, against concerns about stifling the advancement of knowledge (Pratt et al. 2019). ML/AI techniques are now so powerful that they can test millions of models on large data sets to find the "best-matching" model (of all possible) for what needs to be explained. This is a fundamental gear change in what can be done with quantitative data sets, the promise and validity of which are hotly debated (Kitchin 2014; Smith 2020). In terms of changes to the nature of the IS domains, qualitative-interpretative researchers seek to find new methods suitable for the wider, interdisciplinary scope of IS research. This is done via finding or developing analytical new grounds and looking at digital IT differently (e.g. via sociomaterial or affordances perspectives), seeking additional foundations in other fields (e.g., Zuboff's (2015) political economy informed analysis of surveillance capitalism and "Big Tech") or via the modification of methods to suit digital environments (e.g., virtual ethnographies or computational grounded theory). Other forms of qualitative research such as meta-synthesis, qualitative comparative analysis and discourse analysis also seem promising and relevant but are seldomly used in IS research. Digital IT (e.g., social media, digital platforms, AI/ML) has increasing and substantial impacts on society (e.g., mental health, trust in science, misinformation and polarization, monopolization and industry disruption). Hence, ethical, critical, value-based and political-economy questions are increasingly and necessarily asked about digital IT. Similarly, today's pace of innovation may also warrant novel approaches to engaged scholarship and design science. For instance, researchers are calling for methods that can accumulate and update evidence more effectively (Lacity et al. 2021) and better ensure the generalizability of prescriptive knowledge (Brendel et al. 2021; Iivari et al. 2021). This special issue invites contributions that propose, introduce, debate or critique novel quantitative, qualitative or design-oriented methods research, with a focus on the "how" (i.e., origins, processes, steps of the method) and the "why" (e.g., "rigour vs relevance" and "it is new, but is it better" questions) these approaches should be used in IS research. The goal of the special issue is to provide a space for introducing and discussing innovative "next-generation" methods for studying IT-related phenomena, relative to the IS research field. Papers may focus on, but are not restricted to, the following themes: * Critical reflection of research methods used in IS. * Introducing new qualitative, quantitative or design research methods. * Transferability of non-IS research methods such as from other fields or praxis. * Novel combinations of research methods such as cross-disciplinary or mixed-method approaches. * Innovative approaches to analyse big data. * Approaches dealing with special types of unstructured data. * Problems of null hypothesis testing via big data and AI/ML. * AI, ML and explainable AI for knowledge creation and theory generation. * Transparent, robust and replicable research designs and methodologies. * Transferability and generalizability of insights generated with specific methods. * Approaches to evaluating and communicating practical relevance of findings. * Critical assessment of novel approaches on practical, conceptual, ethical or philosophical grounds. * Philosophy of science-based proposals for or critiques of methods. * Culture and values-driven proposals for or critiques of methods. * Methods to study the past, the present and/or the future. Submission Guide: * Journal of Information Technology special issue papers will go through no more than two full rounds of peer review. * Submissions to the Journal of Information Technology special issue should follow the regular rules for research paper submissions, selecting the special issue as the submission type and its corresponding special issue editor as suggested Senior Editor to handle the submission. * Submission system: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jin * Submission system FAQ: https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/support/scholarone-manuscripts/faqs… * JIT homepage: https://journals.sagepub.com/home/jin * JIT submission guidelines: https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/JIN Submission Timetable: * Abstract submissions: November 20, 2022.

General fear of the unintended effects of AI systems, by its actions and its use of personal data, has led to a strong demand for trustworthy AI. This is a central concern that has become prominent both in public opinion and policy maker's agenda. The EU High-Level Expert Group on AI, convened by the European Commission in 2018, published a report on “Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI” says that AI systems should be: * lawful, complying with all applicable laws and regulations * ethical, ensuring adherence to ethical principles and values The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers together to present approaches to tackling legal/ethical AI compliance problems including the relationship between compliance and standards, legislation and regulation and to discuss selected challenges arising from AI compliance. We also solicit use cases related with AI compliance problems to create a basis to investigate common problems for future collaboration. Topics Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following: • Theory of Legal Norm Compliance • Theory of Ethical Norm Compliance • Theory of Unified Treatment of Legal/Ethical Norm Compliance • Ontology to Represent Norms • Detecting Compliance Violation • Agent Behaviour Revision upon Compliance Violation • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning with Multiple Legal and Ethical Norms • Standards and Tools for Norm Compliance • Real Applications of Compliance Check Important Dates Submission due: November 03, 2022(http://www.worldtimeserver.com/time-zones/aoe/) Notification: November 17, 2022(http://www.worldtimeserver.com/time-zones/aoe/) Camera-ready due: November 24, 2022(http://www.worldtimeserver.com/time-zones/aoe/) Submissions We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. However, we also receive published paper only for presentation. If it is the case, please indicate this and a link information of your paper at the front page of the paper. Please note that we only put the link to the paper in the proceedings (not the content). We have three categories for submissions; full paper (10-14 pages), short paper (5-9 pages) and already published papers (10-14 pages, just used for review). Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from http://www.springeronline.com/ and not exceed 14 pages including figures, references, etc. Please submit the paper in a pdf form.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP on "Agile IT Service Practices for Data Centers - on-premises, edge, cloud or hybrid types-." - Journal of Supercomputing Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 17:54:14 +0000 From: JOSE MANUEL MORA TAVAREZ <jose.mora(a)edu.uaa.mx> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de <jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de>, raul.valverde <raul.valverde(a)concordia.ca>, Fen Wang <Fen.Wang(a)cwu.edu> Call for Papers: Agile IT Service Practices for Data Centers - on-premises, edge, cloud or hybrid types-. The Journal of Supercomputing<https://www.springer.com/journal/11227/> An International Journal of High-Performance Computer Design, Analysis, and Use Deadline for submissions: May 31, 2022 Data Centers - On-Premises, Edge, Cloud or Hybrid types-, have become the ICT infrastructure backbone that permits the delivery of thousands of IT services every day in the modern business world (Patterson, 2008; Kant, 2009; Wu & Buyya, 2015; Marx-Gómez et al., 2017; Satyanarayanan, 2017; Senyo et al., 2018; Hughes et al., 2021). All types of organization sectors like finance, banking, telecom, transport, delivery, retail, e-commerce, healthcare, energy, education, military, manufacturing, news, and entertainment, as well governmental settings, with millions of organizations and end-users rely on IT services delivered from Data Centers (Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence LLP, 2020). However, outages, breakdowns, and IT service incidents caused by IT management or IT engineering issues in Data Centers are frequently reported (Totaluptime, 2020; CRN, 2020). Consequently, to anticipate and cope with IT service disruptions, in the last decade, practically most of the large- and medium-sized global business corporations have implemented some of the several available plan-driven (i.e. rigor-oriented) IT Service Management (ITSM) frameworks and standards, such as ITIL v2011 (itSMF UK & Agutter, 2012), CMMI-SVC v1.3 (Software Engineering Institute, 2010), and the ISO/IEC 20000:2005 standard (ISO/IEC 2005a, 2005b, 2010), to manage the governing, planning, design, deployment, operation, and improvement of IT services (Mora et al., 2014; 2015). Multiple organizational benefits such as improvements in the service quality, customer satisfaction, reduction of IT downtime, IT staff morale, and financial contribution metrics have been also reported for the utilization of ITSM frameworks and standards (Marrone & Kolbe, 2011; Marrone et al., 2014). Nowadays, the demand for business services agility supported by IT services has produced the recent emergence of agile, lightweight, and/or lean ITSM frameworks and standards (Lean IT Association, 2015; FitSM, 2016; Verlaine, 2017; Agutter et al., 2017; ISO/IEC/IEEE 2018a; 2018b; TSO, 2019; Galup et al., 2020; Mora et al., 2021). However, given the novelty of these agile, lightweight, and/or lean ITSM frameworks and standards, and the scarcity of conceptual and empirical studies on them, there is a lack of informative references on the applicability, benefits, and limitations of using agile, lightweight, and lean ITSM frameworks and standards for the ITSM practitioners and scholars as well as a distinct knowledge gap for the global business organizations interested in the utilization of them for managing IT services with an agile approach. Consequently, this special issue pursues to advance rigorous and relevant scientific knowledge related to agile IT Services practices applied for IT services released in Data Centers – any type of On-Premises, Edge, Cloud or Hybrid-. This special issue aims to help IT Services designers to plan, analyze, design, assembly, deploy, operate, improve, and retire IT services delivered at Data Centers using agile practices. Topics of interest for the special issue include but are not limited to the following ones: * Conceptual studies on the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Conceptual comparative studies between rigor-oriented and agile, lightweight, and lean IT service management and engineering practices * Statistical survey studies on the implementation of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Case studies on the implementation of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Simulation studies – system dynamics, discrete event, agent-based or hybrid- on managerial features of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Design research studies on specific managerial features of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Experimental studies on specific managerial features of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Surveys of ICT tools and platforms for agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices * Studies on agile IT service managerial implications – economic impacts and costs, organizational benefits and risks, implementation facilitators and inhibitors – of the agile, lightweight, and/or lean IT service management and engineering practices Hence, due to the recent emergence of agile ITSM approaches and the high relevance of IT services released in Data Centers -any type-, and the strong pressure for business agility, we require high-quality research papers using any appropriate research method to study the problems related to the theme of this special issue, such as statistical survey, simulation, case study, experiments, design research, or conceptual study. Important dates: Deadline for submissions: May 31, 2022 Initial editorial decision: July 31, 2022 Deadline for reviewed submissions: September 30, 2022 Final editorial decision: October 31, 2022 Deadline for camera-ready version: November 30, 2022 Publication date: 2023 year Submission Guidelines: Please consult the authors’ guidelines at https://www.springer.com/journal/11227/submission-guidelines Special Issue Guest Editors: Prof. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico Prof. Jorge Marx Gómez, University of Oldenburg, Germany Dr. Raul Valverde, Concordia University, Canada Prof. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA References Agutter, C., van Hove, S., Steinberg, R., & England, R.
