Fwd: [AISWorld] Second CFP: Third International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming Co-Located with XP 2022
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Second CFP: Third International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming Co-Located with XP 2022 Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2022 16:25:40 +0000 From: Lovro Lugovic <lugovic(a)imada.sdu.dk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Agility with Microservices Programming: Call for Papers ======================================================= Third International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming Affiliated with XP 2022 June 13th or 17th 2022, Copenhagen, Denmark https://amp.fe.up.pt/2022/ Important dates --------------- - Abstract submission deadline: April 1st, 2022 (AoE) - Paper submission deadline: April 8th, 2022 (AoE) - Author notification: April 29th, 2022 (AoE) - Workshop date: June 13th or June 17th, 2022 Theme and Topics ---------------- Agile architecture does not necessarily emerge from the use of agile development practices, it needs to be deliberately sought after. This often means creating systems as sets of small, independent components that collaborate to provide the desired functionality. Such components are usually loosely-coupled and expose well-defined APIs that are accessible over standard communication protocols and data formats---they can be individually developed and tested, they can be easily replaced by alternative implementations if needed, and they provide great flexibility when deploying and scaling the system. This style of architecture is often described as **microservices**. Essentially, microservices decompose a system into an architecture of standalone modules that (i) are simpler to maintain and evolve; (ii) scale efficiently; and (iii) can be reused as building blocks for other architectures. Transitioning to a microservice architecture is crucial for companies in highly-competing markets, where agility and flexibility of software systems become a critical asset to establish leadership. While microservices are a solution for scalability, maintainability, and evolvability, they come at a cost: an increased complexity that calls for an improvement of the current techniques for software construction and advanced engineering practices. The AMP workshop aims at collecting experiences on microservice adoption, reporting best practises, but also specially failure cases, so as to build community knowledge based on previous errors and successes. The workshop is open to experience reports from practitioners and academia. The third edition of AMP aims to continue the success of its previous editions at XP2020 [1] and XP2021 [2] in collecting original work on the science and engineering of programming microservices. The topics include (but are not limited to): - Using microservices to enable an evolutive and agile architecture. - Software engineering methods and tools for microservices. - Patterns for microservices design and development. - Operations practises for microservices and DevOps support. - Impact of microservices’ usage on agile teams and processes. - Programming languages and techniques for microservices. - Combining microservices with other architectural styles. - Achieving software qualities, e.g., security, maintainability, and deployability. - Metrics and software analytics in microservices architectures. - Verification of microservice architectures. - Test-driven approaches and testing in microservices development. - Refactoring in the context of microservices architectures. - Empirical studies on microservices. - Experience reports on microservice adoption and teaching. Contributions and Evaluation ---------------------------- AMP 2022 seeks original contributions of the following types: - Full papers: research papers, industry case studies (from 6 to 8 pages, including references) - Extended Abstracts: tool presentations, position papers (2 pages, including references) All submissions must be in English, conform to the Springer LNBIP format and must be submitted through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xp2022. Peer groups with expertise in the workshop focus area will review submissions. The Program Committee will select full papers and extended abstracts for presentation at the workshop. Revised and selected contributions will be included in a separate volume of the XP 2022 conference proceedings published by Springer LNBIP. To this end, one of the authors attending XP 2022 must present the work at the workshop.

Fwd: [AISWorld] MISQ Special Issue on Social Justice - Curated Case Track Information
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MISQ Special Issue on Social Justice - Curated Case Track Information Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2022 09:07:30 -0500 From: Min-Seok Pang <mins.pang(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear fellow researchers, Thank you for your interest and participation in MISQ Special Issue on Digital Technologies and Social Justice. This is to provide further information on submissions to the Curated Case Track. *Further details on the category of cases (Curated Case Track)* In the Call for Papers ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XTNsJe85Do1CnRvPLIaeYiIa0yi7PRK-/view?usp=…) you can read that* "we seek original case submissions that shed a bright light on pressing social justice phenomena, which future IS research can build upon for further theorization and expansion of IS knowledge. With curated case collections, we wish to collate several individual empirical case studies into a joint, peer-reviewed paper. These curated case collections are intended to bring the research community’s attention to particularly relevant understudied issues and ongoing initiatives on the ground relating to social justice and digital technology. As such, they may serve as a starting point and motivation for further research attention to important aspects of social justice."* Because this is a novel type of papers, we wish to provide additional information about the format and further process: *The purpose:* We included this novel format to be able to publish empirical exemplar cases that provide insights into novel, significant phenomena or issues. Our hope is that they can serve as an inspiration and a motivation to other researchers and spark research interests towards hitherto overlooked or under-researched themes and issues. These papers are therefore neither teaching cases, nor primarily practitioner-oriented papers. *The format*: The emphasis in the case papers is on the empirical contribution. Cases need to be based on an analysis of empirical data. We expect that they contain a problem definition (and this requires conceptual positioning), a well-structured and relevant description of the empirical case, a sound analysis, and formulation of insights or learnings from the case. We do not expect that the case papers have any extensive literature review (beyond that which is required to define and conceptualize the case itself). Also, we don’t expect that the paper will offer theoretical or methodological contributions. Please consult the criteria listed in the Call for Papers. *The review process and publication*: The case papers will be sent for review individually, and the "curation" (i.e. combining several cases into a case collection) will only happen after the individual cases are accepted. During the review process, we may ask you to share additional information (e.g. on the data generation and analysis process) per the journal transparency policy (https://misq.umn.edu/research-transparency). For the publication, we envision a format similar to what you can find in the special issue of Next Generation IS Theories at MISQ 45(1) ( https://misq.umn.edu/contents-45-1/), where 5 Regular Articles are complemented by a 6th unconventional article. This 6th article (co-authored by the SI guest editors) contains a brief introduction to 8 shorter “Provocations,” which appear as standalone, specific pieces of work by each author team, however, not as Regular Articles. *Practical information:* We ask for manuscripts with a length of approximately 2000 words. You may provide additional details such as data generation and analysis processes in appendices. You should submit a case paper to MISQ ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/misq) in the same way as a Regular Article, but *please specify in your cover letter that you're submitting to the Curated Case track. If not specified in the cover letter, it would be considered a Regular Article submission*. *Case studies as regular articles*: We also want to clarify that in addition to submissions to the Curated Case Track, we also welcome your case study submissions as Regular Articles, with similar formats and lengths. Like other regular articles, these case studies will be expected to have substantial theoretical contributions and implications. Once again, thank you very much for your interest and participation in the special issue, and we look forward to your submission by June 30. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Call for Doctoral Symposium ******************************************* The ISWC 2022 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place virtually as part of the 21st International Semantic Web Conference. This forum will provide PhD students an opportunity to: * present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative and yet critical environment; * receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the Semantic Web research community, and peers; * explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree, and finally * network and build collaborations with other members of the community. The event is intended for students who have articulated a reasonably detailed research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and suggest possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results with prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format and conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates who will have already partially investigated some specific problems. Students will be required to submit a paper to the doctoral consortium, structured like a research proposal (see “Submission Details” below). All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a rigorous review process by the International Programme Committee, who will provide detailed and constructive feedback and select those submissions to be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, students will have to register and attend the event, which will include a range of interactive activities.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Last Call for Papers: Blockchain and FinTech @ PACIS 2022 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 13:35:29 +0000 From: Horst Treiblmaier <Horst.Treiblmaier(a)modul.ac.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues We cordially invite you to consider our PACIS track to submit your work on Blockchain and Fintech. Track 2: Blockchain and Fintech PACIS-25 | July 5 – 9, 2022 | Taipei/Sydney | https://pacis2022.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/ Paper Submission Deadline: March 1, 2022, 23:59 GMT+8 (Taipei Standard Time) Over the past decade, we witnessed a significant ascent of the fintech market. Reports estimate that global venture capital investments skyrocketed from USD $1.8 to $30.8 billion between 2011 and 2018 (Galvin et al., 2018). Simultaneously, blockchain has emerged as a major contentious technology with arguably substantial socio-economic transformational power (Pedersen et al., 2019). Despite its widespread applicability (e.g., supply chain, auditory purposes), the impact of blockchain has been most pervasive in the financial market (Simos & Tan, 2020). This track invites articles that provide relevant insights for managerial, strategical or regulatory decision making in fintech and/or blockchain technologies. We are particularly interested in but not limited to the intersection of fintech and blockchain technologies. The track is open to all methodological approaches. We invite both full research and research-in-progress papers. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Advancing fintech technologies: robo-advisory, social trading, social credit scoring, algorithmic trading, mobile payment technologies and business impacts *Issues and opportunities of a token economy: regulatory frameworks, new regulatory challenges with FinTech, (de)centralization, commoditization of mining hardware, governance mechanisms, tokenized invoices *Macroeconomic implications of fintech: disintermediation of established players, the impact of cryptocurrencies, structural changes in the economy *Leveraging new types of data in the financial market: ethical concerns, data-driven business models, fraud detection, practical feasibility, smart trading strategies such as artificial intelligence-driven trading practices *Characteristics and implications of P2P lending: ICO, IEO, STO, crowdfunding *Integration of fintech into established markets: Matthew effect, cryptocurrencies as safe havens, blockchain-based settlements Track Chairs Marten Risius University of Queensland Nirmalee I.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP Informatik 2022: eGov-FemTech Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 08:28:39 +0000 From: Anna Dhungel <dhungel(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de> Reply-To: Anna Dhungel <dhungel(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de> To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de <wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de> *### English Version below ### * **** *Call for Paper 2022: E-Government & feministische Technikforschung (eGov-FemTech)* In der E-Government Forschung wird das Thema Gender bisher kaum beachtet. Es wird nur selten untersucht, welche Auswirkungen das Geschlecht auf die Nutzung von E-Government Services hat oder wie feministische Studien zum technologischen Design für Anwendungen im öffentlichen Sektor berücksichtigt werden können (Gasco-Hernandez et al. 2021, S. 109f.; Feeney und Fusi 2021, S. 116). In diesem Workshop soll das Thema sowohl (design-) theoretisch als auch empirisch und praxisorientiert untersucht werden. Die übergeordnete Frage dabei lautet, inwiefern digitale Angebote im öffentlichen Sektor die Gleichstellung beeinflussen. Der Fokus liegt auf der Ungleichheit in Bezug auf das Geschlecht, aufgrund der intersektionalen Natur des Feminismus sind aber auch Beiträge anderer Formen der Ungleichheit im Kontext von E-Government willkommen. Zielgruppe des Workshops sind Forscher*innen und Praktiker*innen, welche Expertise oder ein besonderes Interesse an den Themen E-Government, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit und Feminismus sowie Digitalisierung und Technikentwicklung haben. Mögliche Themen für theoriegeleitete Beiträge: * Geschlechtergerechtigkeit und Technikentwicklung im öffentlichen Sektor * Demokratie- und Partizipationstheorien im Kontext von digitalen Angeboten eines Staates * Definition von Gender und Geschlechtergerechtigkeit im Kontext von E-Government * Geschlechtergerechtigkeit bei der Entwicklung technischer Artefakte und dessen Besonderheiten für den öffentlichen Sektor * Modelle zur Kategorisierung und Klassifizierung von gender-relevanten Anwendungsfällen * Evaluationsmöglichkeiten für geschlechtergerechte E-Government Services * Ansätze zur Standardisierung von geschlechtergerechter Technikgestaltung im öffentlichen Sektor Mögliche Themen für praxisorientierte Beiträge: * Empirische Untersuchungen bisheriger Anwendungen * Identifizierung möglicher Gefahren von Diskriminierung * Untersuchung der Umsetzung des Online-Zugangsgesetzes (OZG) auf Geschlechtergerechtigkeit * Konzepte für konkrete Anwendungen (etwa im Bereich Smart City, Cyber Mobbing oder gezielte Angebote für Alleinerziehende oder nicht-wirtschaftlich ausgeübte Care-Tätigkeiten) Organisatorisches: * Full Paper sollten circa 10 Seiten und Short Paper circa 4 Seiten beinhalten; * Als Formatvorlage sollte das Template der GI genutzt werden: https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni * Die Beiträge sollten über diesen Link eingereicht werden: https://cloud.jil.sh/index.php/s/SWkMmPFmXdbGa2P * Die Beiträge werden von drei Personen gesichtet und bewertet; * *Fristen:* 29.04.2022 - Einreichungsfrist für Abstracts 10.06.2022 - Einreichungsfrist für Beiträge 08.07.2022 - Benachrichtigung über Annahme Angenommene Beiträge werden in den „GI-Edition: Lecture Notes in Informatics“ (LNI) unter den Proceedings zur „INFORMATIK - Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.“ veröffentlicht. Der Workshop findet am Donnerstag, den 29.09.2022, nachmittags statt. Eine genaue Agenda mit Uhrzeiten und Angaben zu den Räumlichkeiten wird im Vorfeld mitgeteilt. Derzeit ist noch offen, ob es ausschließlich Präsentationen der eingereichten Beiträge gibt, oder ob zusätzlich auch Keyspeaker auftreten und Raum ist für aktive Zusammenarbeit (beispielsweise mit Methoden der Liberating Stuctures). Dies ist abhängig von der Anzahl und dem Inhalt der eingereichten Beiträge. Zur besseren Planbarkeit ist daher die Einreichung von Abstracts vorgesehen. Für Rückfragen und Anmerkungen stehe ich gern zur Verfügung: dhungel(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de Wir freuen uns auf vielfältige und spannende Einreichungen! *Literatur:* Feeney, Mary K.; Fusi, Frederica (2021): A critical analysis of the study of gender and technology in government.

It is rarely examined what impact gender has on the use of e-government services or how feminist studies on technological design can be taken into account for public sector applications (Gasco-Hernandez et al. 2021, S. 109f.; Feeney & Fusi 2021, S. 116). In this workshop, the topic will be examined both (design-) theoretically and empirically and practice-oriented. The overarching question is to what extent digital offerings in the public sector influence equality. The focus is on gender inequality, but due to the intersectional nature of feminism, contributions from other forms of inequality in the context of e-government are also welcome. The target group of the workshop are researchers and practitioners who have expertise or a special interest in the topics of e-government, gender equality and feminism as well as digitization and technology development. Possible topics for theory-based contributions: * gender equity and technology development in the public sector * theories of democracy and participation in the context of a state’s digital offerings * definition of gender and gender equity in the context of e-government * gender equity in the development of technical artifacts and its specifics for the public sector * models for the categorization and classification of gender-relevant use cases * evaluation opportunities for gender-responsive e-government services * approaches to standardize gender-responsive technology design in the public sector Possible topics for practice-oriented contributions: * empirical studies of previous applications * identification of possible risks of discrimination * examination of the implementation of the Online Access Act (Online-Zugangsgesetz, OZG) for gender equity * concepts for concrete applications (such as in the field of smart city, cyber bullying and special offers for single parents or the tracking of care activities) Organizational matters: * full paper should be about 10 and short paper about 4 pages * the GI template should be used: https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni <https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni> * contributions should be submitted via this link: https://cloud.jil.sh/index.php/s/SWkMmPFmXdbGa2P * the contributions will be screened and evaluated by three people: * *Deadlines:* 29.04.2022 - submission deadline for abstracts 10.06.2022 - submission deadline for papers 08.07.2022 - notification of acceptance for papers Accepted papers will be published in the „GI-Edition: Lecture Notes in Informatics“ (LNI) under the Proceedings of the „INFORMATIK - Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.“. The workshop will take place on Thursday, 29.09.2022, in the afternoon. A detailed agenda with times and information about the premises will be communicated in advance. Currently, it is still open whether there will be paper sessions only, or whether there will be additional key speakers and space for active collaboration (for example, with liberating stuctures methods). This depends on the number and content of the submitted contributions. Therefore, for better planning, the submission of abstracts is foreseen. For questions and comments, I am at your disposal: dhungel(a)imis.uni-luebeck.de We look forward to receiving diverse and exciting submissions! *Literature:* Feeney, Mary K.; Fusi, Frederica (2021): A critical analysis of the study of gender and technology in government.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Last CFP - PACIS 2022 -Track on IS Sourcing in the digital Age, deadline: March 15. Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 18:03:31 +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 15, 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…>> Ilan Oshri Disciplinary Area Lead, Information Systems, University of Auckland Business School Director, Centre of Digital Enterprise, University of Auckland Business School _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-56), Maui, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2023 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 12:21:56 +0100 From: Manuel Pedro Rodriguez Bolivar <manuelp(a)ugr.es> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-56), Maui, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2023 (http://www.hicss.org/) *Digital Government Track* Smart and Connected Cities and Communities Mini-track <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/digital-government/#smart-and-connected-…> Cities and communities around the world are entering a new era of transformation in which residents and their surrounding environments are increasingly connected through rapidly changing intelligent technologies, sometimes called, smart technologies. This transformation, which has become a top priority for many cities and other local governments, offers great promise for improved well-being and prosperity but, also, poses significant challenges at the complex intersection of technology and society. A smart and connected community can be conceptualized as one that synergistically integrates intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments, including infrastructure, to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of those who live, work, or travel within it. Building on the notion of community informatics, smart communities can be seen as enabling and empowering citizens and supporting the individual and communal quests for well-being. Although the literature is rich in references to smart cities and communities, this is still a developing and fuzzy concept due to its multidimensional and multifaceted aspect that goes beyond the mere use of technology and infrastructure. Although technology is a necessary condition to become smart, it is not the only aspect that defines smart cities and communities. Novel studies are indicating that emerging technologies have a huge influence on social life, catalyzing new needs of citizens and transforming the way they are addressed, influencing people’s ability to exercise their “right to the city/community” and impacting on social sustainability on several levels. City administration and communitymanagement, information integration, data quality, privacy and security, institutional arrangements, and citizen participation are therefore some of the issues that need greater attention to make a community smarter today and in the near future. Nonetheless, the literature on smart cities and communities is fragmented, particularly in terms of the strategies that different cities and communities should follow in order to become smarter. What most of the literature does agree on is that there is no single way to becoming smart and different communities have adopted different approaches that reflect their particularities. In addition, the advent of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, open government, open data, big data, blockchain, chatbots and so on, have opened new avenues for smart governance in the urban and communities’ contexts, which fosters new research on this area. This mini track aims at exploring these issues, paying particular attention to the challenges of smart cities and smart communities as well as to the impact of these initiatives to understand how new technologies can shape the social sustainability, the livability of local communities, and the wellbeing of its residents. It also focuses on the orchestrated interplay and balance of smart governance practices, smart public administration, smart communities, smart resources and talent leverage in urban, rural, and regional spaces facilitated by novel uses of ICT and other technologies. As a result, areas of focus and interest to this mini track include, but are not limited, to the following topics: -Taxonomies of smart cities and communities -Smart governance as the foundation to creating smart urban and regional spaces (elements, prerequisites, and principles of smart governance) -Smart cities and smart government (focal areas, current practices, cases, and potential pitfalls) -Smart partnerships (triple/quadruple/quintuple helix, public-private partnerships, and citizen participation) -The impact of digital transformation on the change of citizens’ role in the city -Smart cities, communities and regions (cases, rankings, comparisons, and critical success factors) -Benefits of the impact of emerging technologies on citizens and local communities -Collective intelligence for smart cities and communities -Emerging technologies in smart cities and communities (artificial intelligence, big data, open data, open government, social media and networks, chatbots, etc.) -Smart governance in cities and communities in the age of the emerging technologies -Management of smart cities and communities -Outcomes of smart cities and communities -The role of digital technologies in both increasing community livability and improving social sustainability and inequalities -Smart services -Urban-rural gaps in smart communities -Resilience and sustainability capacities in smart cities and communities. - Innovative solutions for smart cities and communities -Building knowledge societies for smart cities and communities -Smart cities and communities and their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) *Important dates*(https://hicss.hawaii.edu/): April 15, 2022: Paper submission system reopened for HICSS-56 June 15, 2022: Papers due August 17, 2022: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 4, 2022: Deadline for authors whose papers are conditionally accepted to submit a revised manuscript September 22, 2022: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2022: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for the conference October 22, 2022: Deadline for the paper production fee payment January 3-6, 2023: HICSS Conference * * *Mini-track Co-Chairs:* Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar (primary contact), University of Granada, Spain (manuelp(a)ugr.es <mailto:manuelp@ugr.es>) Gabriela Viale Pereira, Danube University Krems, Austria (gabriela.viale-pereira(a)donau-uni.ac.at <mailto:gabriela.viale-pereira@donau-uni.ac.at>) Elsa Estevez, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina (ece(a)cs.uns.edu.ar <mailto:ece@cs.uns.edu.ar>) Anna Domaradzka-Widla, University of Warsaw, Poland (anna.domaradzka(a)uw.edu.pl <mailto:anna.domaradzka@uw.edu.pl>) _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
