-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ISeB JCR - CFP "Agile, Lightweight and Lean IT Service Management Approaches for Business Agility" Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 19:46:00 +0000 From: JOSE MANUEL MORA TAVAREZ <jose.mora(a)edu.uaa.mx> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Information Systems and e-Business journal Call for Papers Special Issue on "Agile, Lightweight and Lean IT Service Management Approaches for Business Agility" Deadline: 31 March 2022 https://www.springer.com/journal/10257/updates/19311184 In the last two decades, practically most of the large- and medium-sized global business corporations have implemented some of the several 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; Jäntti & Hotti, 2016). 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). However, the implementation of the plan-driven ITSM frameworks and standards demands the utilization of significant organizational resources such as economic, human, and technological ones and relevant efforts during long implementation periods, which limits their successful implementations (Eikebrokk & Iden, 2017). Nowadays, the demand for business services agility has produced the recent emergence of some proffered agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards (Agutter et al., 2017; Verlaine, 2017; Kobus et al., 2017; TSO, 2019; Galup et al., 2020; Mora et al., 2021). Agile, lightweight, or lean practices are usually considered equivalent. However, they are different concepts. Agile practices can be considered a subset of lightweight practices, and agile practices must be also lean but the vice versa situation is not mandatory (Qumer & Henderson-Sellers, 2008; Conboy, 2009). Given the novelty of these proffered agile, lightweight, and lean ITSM frameworks and standards (i.e. Lean IT, VeriSM, ITIL v4, FitSM, ISO/IEC/IEEE 20000-1:2018, and ISO/IEC/IEEE 29110- 4-3:2018, among others) and the scarcity of conceptual and empirical studies on them (Lean IT Association, 2015; FitSM, 2016; Verlaine, 2017; Kobus et al., 2017; ISO/IEC/IEEE 2018a; 2018b; TSO, 2019; Galup et al., 2020; Mora et al., 2021), 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 the agile, lightweight, and lean ITSM frameworks and standards that ultimately help ITSM practitioners working in large- and medium-sized global organizations to implement them correctly. Topics of interest for the special issue include but are not limited to the following ones: • Conceptual studies on the agile, lightweight, and lean ITSM tenets • Conceptual comparative studies between rigor-oriented and agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Statistical survey studies on the implementation of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Case studies on the implementation of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Simulation studies – system dynamics, discrete event, agent-based or hybrid- on managerial features of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Design research studies on specific managerial features of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Experimental studies on specific managerial features of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Information and Communication Technologies and platforms for agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards • Studies on managerial implications – economic impacts and costs, organizational learning and change, business process redesigns, organizational design, and business agility, among others – of the agile, lightweight, or lean ITSM frameworks and standards Hence, due to the global relevance of ITSM approaches and the emergent business agility movement, 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.

An increasing number of artificial intelligence-based systems are being developed in different application domains employing a variety of tools and technologies. This track is intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from these areas, share lessons learned and stimulate areas for further research. Best papers from this Track will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (http://www.idea-group.com/IJIIT). Track Chair: Don Heath, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, drheath2(a)gmail.com <mailto:drheath2@gmail.com> Mini-tracks: Mini-Track I: Social, Ethical, & Practical Impacts of AI for Organizations and Individuals AI is an important and increasingly pervasive tool of industry whose widespread adoption has given rise to several criticisms, such as lack of transparency of analytical models, lack of explainability of results, workforce disruption, and the potential to introduce or perpetuate implicit biases. The aim of this mini-track is to provide a forum for addressing the social, ethical, and practical aspects of AI and ML. Particularly, papers exploring the impact of AI/ML through various analytic lenses including societal, organizational, and individual perspectives are welcome. Mini-Track Co-Chairs: Vijayan Sugumaran, sugumara(a)oakland.edu <mailto:sugumara@oakland.edu> Stefan Kirn, stefan.kirn(a)uni-hohenheim.de <mailto:stefan.kirn@uni-hohenheim.de> Mini-Track II: Innovative Technologies for Managing Data-intensive Systems Evoked by recent trends, such as big data, data science or cloud computing, the planning and engineering of IS in today's data-driven world is getting progressively more complex. In many cases, sophisticated approaches are required to overcome the data-intensive nature of such endeavors. At this point, established technologies, as they have been used for many years, are reaching their limits. However, innovative technologies and concepts, such as artificial intelligence, automation, cloud computing, composable architectures, continuous integration, micro services, domain specific ontologies or decision support systems appear to be promising "enablers" to meet the current demands. To overcome their realization shortcomings, a plethora of facets must be handled. Hence, in this mini-track, we welcome a variety of research approaches including, but not limited to, theoretical articles, reviews and use case studies that are related to the use of innovative technologies for planning, engineering, deploying, testing and operating data-intensive systems. Mini-Track Co-Chairs: Matthias Volk, matthias.volk(a)ovgu.de <mailto:matthias.volk@ovgu.de> Daniel Staegemann, daniel.staegemann(a)ovgu.de <mailto:daniel.staegemann@ovgu.de> Mini-Track III: Promises and Perils of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Disruption, Adoption, Dehumanisation, Governance, Risk and Compliance In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have developed from peripheral technologies to dominant drivers of innovation. They are routinely used to recognize images; parse speech; respond to questions; make decisions; and replace humans. Given that AI and ML tools are becoming a part of our everyday lives, it is critical that researchers and practitioners understand their state of art, adoption and influence. Improperly deployed AI and ML tools can violate privacy, threaten safety, and take questionable decisions that can affect individuals, organizations and ultimately society. This minitrack will focus on the promises and perils of AI and ML with a particular focus on (a) adoption, (b) disruption, (c) potential dehumanisation, and (c) governance, risk, compliance and ethical mechanisms required to protect and enhance human wellbeing. We welcome wide-ranging papers with qualitative and quantitative orientations; with theoretical and practical contributions; from personal, organizational and societal perspectives.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2022 CFP - Cloud Computing and Sustainability Minitrack Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 09:04:00 -0500 From: Jiyong Park <jiyong.park(a)uncg.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Minitrack: Cloud Computing and Sustainability* Green IS (SIGGREEN) AMCIS 2022 (https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/) Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 10-14, 2022 *Call for Papers* Cloud computing—providing IT services (both infrastructure/hardware and software) on demand over a network—has been widely adopted by businesses across industries due to such benefits as flexibility, scalability, always-on availability, and pay-as-you-go pricing. The widespread adoption of cloud computing over the past decade has sparked debates on its environmental impacts among practitioners and academics alike. From the perspective of sustainability, cloud computing is differentiated from traditional IT investments and IT outsourcing in that it has transformed the way IT resources (both infrastructure/hardware and software) are procured, thereby altering IT’s implications for sustainability and energy consumption not only for cloud service providers (vendors), but for service users, which calls for research from novel perspectives. On one hand, cloud services may come at a significant cost to the environment, as data centers consume a massive amount of energy for supporting cloud services. On the other hand, cloud computing can allow business organizations to optimize IT resource utilization by replacing internal IT infrastructure with cloud-based IT services accessible on demand over a network, potentially enhancing energy efficiency. Moreover, on-demand cloud services can provide low-cost access to scalable, high-powered software running on the cloud that confers sustainability benefits, which could not be achieved through in-house development or traditional software licensing. Cloud-based services (e.g., cloud-based collaboration tools) also help organizations build climate resilience for adapting to climate change, in a similar way that it has played a role in coping with COVID-19. This mini-track provides a forum for presenting and discussing original research highlighting the opportunities and challenges toward sustainability related to designing, deploying, and using cloud computing from the IS perspective. In particular, we encourage submissions that address broad topics of Green IT and Green IS from the perspectives of not only cloud service vendors (e.g., data centers), but also cloud service users and other stakeholders (across various levels including individuals, organizations, and nations). This mini-track welcomes empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual/theoretical papers that leverage the multiple perspectives of IS toward sustainability in the era of cloud computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Adoption and diffusion of cloud computing by organizations and individuals to address sustainability concerns · Sustainability implications of in-house and outsourced IT · Use of cloud computing to support sustainable business processes · Performance implications of cloud computing and sustainability · Development of cloud-based services and systems for sustainability · Energy-efficient data centers · Cloud-based environmental/energy management systems · Application of cloud computing to climate change adaptation · Application of cloud computing for sustainability in different sectors, such as smart grids, transportation, agriculture, smart manufacturing, smart cities, and others · Public policy related to cloud computing with implications for sustainability · Global and cross-border issues in cloud computing and sustainability *Important Dates:* · January 15, 2022: Submission Open at PCS ( https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions) · March 1, 2022: Submission Deadline · April 15, 2022: Acceptance Notification · April 25, 2022: Revised, Camera-Ready Paper Deadline We look forward to receiving your best work for the minitrack of *Cloud Computing and Sustainability*.
