Fwd: [AISWorld] BPMDS’2022 Working Conference
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BPMDS’2022 Working Conference Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 17:16:42 +0000 From: Rainer Schmidt <Rainer.Schmidt(a)live.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support the 23d edition of the BPMDS series, in conjunction with CAiSE’2022 BPMDS’2022 Working Conference 6-7 June 2022, Leuven, Belgium http://www.bpmds.org Sponsored by IFIP WG8.1 (International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1) The Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) working conference has been held for more than two decades, dealing with, and promoting research on BPMDS. It has been a platform for a multitude of influential research papers. In keeping with its tradition, the working conference covers a broad range of theoretical and application-based research on BPMDS. This year’s topic theme, “Reflections on human-human interaction and responsibility in a virtual environment” reflects the abundance of virtual environments in all domains of our lives. Technologies are here. Are we ready to use those technologies in an extremely connected world where false information spreads faster than the true one with detrimental consequences? Are we mature enough to process the information as fast as the computers provide them? What is the meaning of a “like” in a professional environment when the ”thing” which has been “liked” was not precisely read or understood? How should we enhance business process engineering, modeling, and management to master this increasing complexity? How could/should human-computer interfaces support the issues related to increasing reflexes (fast clicks) to the detriment of reflection? A pilot who is using a flight simulator during her training is aware that this is a virtual and fictitious platform, and she is confident that she will use the competencies she is acquiring in this virtual and fictitious environment, later in the physical world; the new competencies will be partly due to the mistakes made using the flight simulator. On the opposite, is the surfer, who likes or comments in an online social network, totally aware that she acts in the “real world” (not a fictitious one) when she clicks? Is she aware of her responsibility? Virtual does not mean fictitious. Using virtual environments expands our capabilities/frontiers of action in the real world (“real” in opposition to “fictitious”). E.g., using voice-based assistants such as Amazon Alexa allows integrating people who have been excluded (because of their handicap) by graphical user interfaces from using software systems so far. Digital technologies enable the creation of new business models. E.g. platforms such as Airbnb integrate huge numbers of external resources. An important factor to accomplish this is the provisioning of information on these resources and evaluating their quality. Both can only be accomplished by collecting this information with digital means. Consequently, we are more and more drastically responsible for what we produce as information. Organizations and the world are going through huge transformations due, in large part, to information technologies and their direct and indirect impacts. These transformations impact frontally the information systems, which support the business processes of organizations, and therefore the actors in carrying out their activities/missions. The speed of organizational and societal transformations requires continuous improvement and innovation processes. Creativity and responsibility are determining factors and require detailed and multi-faceted knowledge of the problem to handle and of the context. The unpredictability of the related transformations (and more particularly their detrimental effects) requires more than ever a systemic vision in the (i) engineering and governance of information systems and (ii) in the engineering and architecture of business processes ecosystems the latter have to support. The opportunities for evolution and transformation assume the ability to capture, store, organize, search and analyze large volumes of information and put us in front of many new challenges: meeting and mastering the requirements of volume, speed, variety, veracity, the value of data, comply with data protection laws, and be fully aware of (and responsible for) the components of the new VUCA world (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). We are all responsible as engineers, researchers, professors, and citizens. We need human intelligence more than ever. We are inviting you - To discuss and reflect on human-human interaction and responsibility in a virtual environment where everything becomes information: Social networks, social engineering, discernment, reflection vs. reflex, ethics, responsibility, citizenship. - To identify the value of all kinds of business process models as artifacts for helping us to reflect on those challenges. - To bring new artifacts in process modeling related to those new challenges to enhance the ability of organizations and humans to act and cooperate as structured as possible and as flexibly as necessary.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers -PACIS 2022 - Track on IS Sourcing in the digital Age, submission deadline March 1st, 2022
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers -PACIS 2022 - Track on IS Sourcing in the digital Age, submission deadline March 1st, 2022 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 18:40:53 +0000 From: Ilan Oshri <ilan.oshri(a)auckland.ac.nz> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> PACIS Track: IS sourcing in the digital age Track Description In the digital age, organizations are faced with the challenge of adapting their IS sourcing practices to a number of major changes (Dibbern et al. 2020). First, digital technologies increasingly permeate the processes, products, and services of companies (Venkatraman 2017)?including those IS services and products offered by a vibrant and increasingly complex ecosystem of external service providers that includes consulting companies, standard software providers, specialized development firms, and digital giants. Second, the digital transformation entails a number of concurrent technological shifts such as the rise of AI and new architectural paradigms (e.g., microservices, low-code platforms, and serverless computing) that fundamentally change the nature of the task that is being sourced (Willcocks et al. 2016), reconfigure firm boundaries, and add further complexity to the already confusing number of alternative sourcing arrangements (Lacity et al. 2010; Oshri et al. 2019, Nevo and Kotlarsky, 2020) and governance mechanisms (Benaroch et al. 2016; Gregory et al. 2013; Huber et al. 2013; Kotlarsky et al. 2018; Wiener et al. 2016). Furthermore, with the growing popularity of data-driven business models issues associated with data sourcing are becoming more prevailed (Wiener et al. 2020). To respond to these changes, sourcing professionals will have to adapt their decision and governance practices?offering unique opportunities for researchers to advance understanding of the evolution and socio-technical underpinnings of sourcing practices (Sarker et al. 2019). This track welcomes papers that improve our understanding of how, why, and under what conditions sourcing can make a positive contribution to the digital transformation of firms. We welcome all types of research, including empirical, conceptual, and simulation-based studies that address social, technical, and socio-technical aspects of IS sourcing. We also welcome ?focus on practice? submissions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * In-depth investigations into the complexities and dynamics of sourcing practices * Sourcing as driver of digital transformation processes * Sourcing of innovative, AI-powered systems, including studies investigating new AI-specific managerial practices such as data governance, management of (algorithmic) learning processes, and the management of autonomous agents (e.g., robots) * Technology-driven changes in sourcing practices including studies exploring how increasingly autonomous systems and/or new architectural innovations transform sourcing decision making and sourcing governance * Sourcing configurations and sourcing arrangements for the digital age (multi-sourcing, plural sourcing, crowdsourcing, cloudsourcing, etc.) * Supplier and client capabilities and competences for the digital age * Sourcing governance and in particular studies investigating change processes, holistic configurations of governance mechanisms, and interactions between them * Sourcing eco-system * Data sourcing * Backsourcing/re-shoring decisions driven by the digital transformation and in particular the changing role of IS * Sourcing of knowledge-intensive and innovative IS services and products * Emerging topics and concepts in sourcing not covered above Full paper submission deadline: March 1st, 2022 Link: https://pacis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…<https://pacis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…><https://pacis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…<https://pacis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…>> Track Chairs: Ilan Oshri University of Auckland, New Zealand ilan.oshri(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:ilan.oshri@auckland.ac.nz><mailto:ilan.oshri@auckland.ac.nz><mailto:ilan.oshri@auckland.ac.nz> Rong Du Xidian University, Xi?an, China durong(a)mail.xidian.edu.cn<mailto:durong@mail.xidian.edu.cn><mailto:durong@mail.xidian.edu.cn><mailto:durong@mail.xidian.edu.cn> Derek Wenyu Du Beihang University, Beijing, China duwenyu(a)buaa.edu.cn<mailto:duwenyu@buaa.edu.cn><mailto:duwenyu@buaa.edu.cn><mailto:duwenyu@buaa.edu.cn> Fang Su Jinan University, Guangzhou, China sufang2017(a)jnu.edu.cn<mailto:sufang2017@jnu.edu.cn><mailto:sufang2017@jnu.edu.cn><mailto:sufang2017@jnu.edu.cn> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP AMCIS 2022-- Mini-track: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 18:45:32 +0000 From: Merhi, Mohammad I <mmerhi(a)iusb.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS for the Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research 2022 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA August 10-14, 2022 https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/ Dear Colleagues, We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research, under the Information Security and Privacy track of the 2022 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 10-14 August, 2022 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Track: Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC) Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research DESCRIPTION Employees are organizations' core assets that interact with Information Systems (IS) in order to perform their tasks; however numerous studies have reported that employees noncompliance of IS security policies is the main cause of security breaches within organizations. Over the last decade, the IS research community has contributed substantial research in order to understand the causes underlying IS security noncompliance. Most of this research draws upon the General Deterrence Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior theory to explain the behavior that motivates IS security compliance. Even though the existing research has significantly contributed to the understanding of the phenomenon of IS security noncompliance, several studies have reported non-convergent findings. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss theoretical models, methodologies, and empirical cases concerning employees' behaviors and noncompliance with IS security policies. This mini-track aims to investigate new theories and constructs that have not been explored in IS security compliance literature. Therefore, we invite innovative papers that explore new constructs and theories that address a variety of issues pertaining employees' behaviors towards IS security in organizations. The goal is to advance our understanding of the IS security noncompliance phenomenon. Cross-cultural studies or comparative studies highlighting differences and similarities regarding employees' behaviors with IS security in emerging and developing countries are also welcome. SUBMISSION TYPES - Full papers must not exceed 10 pages (approx. 5,000 words) - Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers must not exceed 5 pages (approx. 2,500 words) Papers must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/ https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login For details on submission instructions, deadlines, and template, please click here: https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/paper-templates-pcs-guide-f or-authors/ IMPORTANT DATES: - January 21, 2022: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2022 begin - March 1, 2022: Completed research and ERFs submissions due - April 15, 2022: Authors informed of decision - April 25, 2022: Revised, camera-ready papers (Full and ERF) are due We look forward to your submissions and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP AMCIS 2022- Data-Driven Process Mining and Innovation Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 06:40:55 -0600 From: Arti Mann <arti.mann(a)uni.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *AMCIS 2022 CFP - Data-Driven Process Mining and Innovation Mini-track * Minneapolis, MN, August 10-14, 2022 *Track: SIG DSA- Data Science and Analytics for Decision Support* Mini-track: *Data-Driven Process Mining and Innovation * *Track Description* *- https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… <https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…>* *Mini-Track Description - *One of the main aspects of business analytics is process innovation driven by the use of data generated from the day-to-day business operations of an organization. Process innovation involves workflow re-design and resource re-configuration for higher efficiency, better quality, and effectiveness, improving decision-making processes for better information flow and decision-enablement. Process mining plays a significant role in enabling such innovations. The objective of Process Mining is to discover, monitor, and improve actual business processes by extracting knowledge from existing data generated as a result of the execution of those processes. The aim of this mini-track is to promote theoretical and empirical research addressing the aspects mentioned above. Example topics may include, but are not limited to – data-driven modeling, analysis, and improvement of organizational processes; design of data-driven decision-making processes; case studies and empirical evaluation of data-driven process innovation; multi-perspective approaches for process mining. **IMPORTANT DATES** *January 15, 2022* Manuscript submissions open *March 1, 2022* Deadline for paper submissions (PST) *April 15 2022* Authors will be notified of decisions *April 25, 2022* Camera-ready submissions are due We look forward to receiving your best works for the mini-track.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: Scenarios for the Further Development and Impact of Blockchain Technologies @MDPI Future Internet

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd Call for Papers: Scenarios for the Further Development and Impact of Blockchain Technologies @MDPI Future Internet Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 08:48:08 +0000 From: Horst Treiblmaier <Horst.Treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, Blockchain technology is predicted to disrupt industries, economies, and societies. The properties of distributed ledgers allow the creation of immutable data structures that facilitate shared access in real time and enable a plethora of innovative applications. However, blockchain is not a uniform technology, but rather a bundle of evolving components whose implications are notoriously hard to predict. At present, it is not clear how current trends will evolve, with technical evolution, legislation, and public policy being three contingency factors that make ongoing disruptive transformations particularly hard to predict. In light of blockchain’s potentially disruptive impact, it is surprising that scenario analysis has hitherto been largely ignored in academic research. In a recent publication in Future Internet, I therefore outline the potentials of this technique to produce blockchain research that is both academically rigorous and relevant to the industry. In this call for papers, I look for academic research that applies scenario analysis to thoroughly investigate the impact of blockchain technologies and the relevance of potential contingency factors. Furthermore, I encourage the investigation of how the respective components of blockchain technologies as well as the surrounding business and legal frameworks might evolve and what the consequences would be. The focus of this Special Issue is the exploration of diverse scenarios that might arise from blockchain technologies, and not on the identification of the most likely development. Furthermore, I am especially looking for research that deals with “what if” questions and outlines disruptive developments. > From a methodological perspective, both quantitative and qualitative approaches are welcome. The research design has to be rigorous and can include the application of various methods simultaneously (i.e., mixed-method approach). Scenario analysis does not hinge on a specific method but allows the combination of different approaches. I encourage its application to generate blockchain papers that are creative, inspiring, and thought-provoking. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Future developments of core blockchain technologies • Use cases that can be created with blockchain technologies and how their successful deployment depends on external factors • Extreme scenarios (both positive and negative) that may arise from the use of blockchain technologies • Potential impact of blockchain on business/economy/society • Identification of contingency factors that enable or hinder the acceptance and adoption of blockchain technologies Prof. Dr. Horst Treiblmaier Guest Editor Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 May 2022 Special Issue Information https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/Scenarios_Blockc… [https://www.mdpi.com/img/journals/futureinternet-logo-print.png?cc4c6e64ba7…]<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/Scenarios_Blockc…> Future Internet | Special Issue : Scenarios for the Further Development and Impact of Blockchain Technologies<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/special_issues/Scenarios_Blockc…> Dear Colleagues, Blockchain technology is predicted to disrupt industries, economies, and societies.

Project Management Mini-track: Agile Project Management https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle… <https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…> Track Descriptions – AMCIS 2022<https://amcis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle…> The Accounting Information Systems track highlights research that focuses on the link between accounting and information systems, including topics that range from I.T. governance to inter-organizational information systems and draws from a variety of disciplines like accounting, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, behavioral science, economics, politics, computer science, and information ... amcis2022.aisconferences.org This mini-track aims to enhance our understanding of agile methodologies in I.T. project management. Agile methodologies are a large part of I.T. project management. They strive to reduce the cost of change throughout the software development process and rely heavily on teams and teamwork. Therefore, a better understanding of the factors that help teams use agile methodologies to drive project success is needed. Further difficulties for organizations relate to sustaining the use of agile methodologies in the long term and the management of a potentially diverse range of agile projects at the portfolio level. These and related items will be explored in this mini-track. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Agile and adaptive IT project management versus traditional management - Agile project portfolio management - Best practices in agile project management - Challenges implementing and sustaining agile methodologies - Communication and interaction on agile teams - Controls used in agile teams - Decision-making and governance in agile teams - Evaluation and reward systems used by agile teams - Managing co-located, virtual and/or distributed agile teams - Trends in agile project management *IMPORTANT DATES* *January 15, 2022* Manuscript submissions open *March 1, 2022* Deadline for paper submissions (PST) *April 15 2022* Authors will be notified of decisions *April 25, 2022* Camera-ready submissions are due We look forward to receiving your best works for the mini-track. Feel free to contact us if you have questions.
