-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] LAK23 Call For Paper: The 13th International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, Arlington, TX, USA, March 13-27, 2023 Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2022 12:04:27 +0100 From: Society for Learning Analytics Research <announcements(a)solaresearch.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [apologies for cross posting] Hi all, Join us for the 13th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, March 13-27, 2023! We are very excited to be offering LAK23 as hybrid experience with in-person events in Arlington, TX, USA and virtual or streamed events being shared online with all LAK23 participants. LAK23 Homepage: https://www.solaresearch.org/events/lak/lak23/ GENERAL CALL The 2023 edition of The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK23) will take place in Arlington, Texas, USA. LAK23 is organized by the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) with location hosts from University of Texas at Arlington. LAK23 is a collaborative effort by learning analytics researchers and practitioners to share the most rigorous scientific work in learning analytics The theme for the 13th annual LAK conference is Toward Trustworthy Learning Analytics. The growth and development of the learning analytics field has been fuelled through increased access to data and the subsequent development of analytical models designed to predict outcomes, establish recommendations or bring novel insights into the learning process. Yet the implementation of learning analytics impinges on social and educational concerns such as privacy, fairness, and development of learner autonomy. The application of learning analytics must consider how developed models can lead to the reinforcement, identification or prevention of bias. Ongoing work into data and algorithmic transparency can help inform how end users interpret and enact LA information and recommendations. There is further work to be undertaken by researchers and practitioners to fully examine the impact of data and algorithms including: potential misuse and mis-interpretation; influence on society and education systems; ethics; privacy; transparency; and accountability to move toward a responsible education system that is established on a foundation of trust. The LAK conference is intended for both researchers and practitioners. We invite both researchers and practitioners of learning analytics to join a proactive dialogue around the future of learning analytics and its practical adoption, to develop and transfer key knowledge to design, interpret and act on learning analytics results. We further extend our invite to educators, leaders, administrators, government and industry professionals interested in the field of learning analytics and its related disciplines. Authors should note that: · SoLAR recognizes the importance of open, accessible, reproducible, repeatable, and replicable data and analyses approaches. SoLAR also recognizes a diversity of epistemological, ethical, and legal challenges and opportunities which such approaches face. · The LAK conference has received a CORE ranking of A (top 16% of all 783 ranked venues). · LAK is the only conference in the top 12 Google Scholar citation ranks for educational technology publications. CONFERENCE THEME AND TOPICS We welcome submissions from both research and practice, encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical and technical contributions to the learning analytics field. Learning analytics research draws on many distinct academic fields, including psychology, the learning sciences, education, neuroscience, computer science and design. We encourage the submission of works conducted in any of these traditions. We also welcome research that validates, replicates and examines the generalizability of previously published findings, as well as examines aspects of adoption of existing learning analytics methods and approaches. This year, we encourage contributors to consider how collective action can tackle concerns and issues associated with the implementation of learning analytics. Learning analytics impacts on both technical and social systems. We invite papers that address areas of bias, privacy, ethics, transparency and accountability from multiple lenses including the design, implementation and evaluation stages of learning analytics. Accountable analysis refers to providing a certain degree of transparency and explanation, and adjusting the transparency of data and computation according to the differences of stakeholders. Trust goes hand in hand with transparency in decision-making; whether the decisions for predictions and interventions are fair and explainable is an ethical issue. There is still much to be done in human behavior and social values, such as respecting privacy, providing equal opportunities, and accountability. Based on diversity, equity, and belonging, inclusive learning analytics identifies and breaks down systemic barriers to inclusion, fosters a culture that every learner knows their belonging, feels empowered to bring their whole self to learning, and is inspired to learn. For the 13th Annual conference, we encourage authors to address the following questions related to LAK23's theme of "Towards Trustworthy Learning Analytics: · What are the essential components of building a trustworthy LA system? · How do we give diverse stakeholders a voice in defining what will make LA trustworthy? · How can we develop and evaluate instruments or frameworks for measuring the trustworthiness of a LA system? · Is there anything distinctive about trustworthiness in teaching and learning or can we borrow unproblematically from notions of trustworthiness from other fields? · How can we develop models or frameworks that can measure the fairness, bias, transparency or explainability level of a LA system? · How do we develop human-in-the-loop predictive or prescriptive analytics that benefit from instructor judgement? · How can we enable students or instructors to share their perceptions of the level of trustworthiness of a LA system? · How can we reliably and transparently model student competencies? Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Implementing Change in Learning & Teaching: · Ethical issues around learning analytics: Analysis of issues and approaches to the lawful and ethical capture and use of educational data traces; tackling unintended bias and value judgements in the selection of data and algorithms; perspectives and methods that empower stakeholders. · Learning analytics adoption: Discussions and evaluations of strategies to promote and embed learning analytics initiatives in educational institutions and learning organizations. Studies that examine processes of organizational change and practices of professional development that support impactful learning analytics use. · Learning analytics strategies for scalability: Discussions and evaluations of strategies to scale capture and analysis of information in useful and ethical ways at the program, institution or national level; critical reflections on organizational structures that promote analytics innovation and impact in an institution. · Equity, fairness and transparency in learning analytics: Consideration of how certain practices of data collection, analysis and subsequent action impact particular populations and affect human well-being, specifically groups that experience long term disadvantage. Discussions of how learning analytics may impact (positively or negatively) social change and transformative social justice. Understanding Learning & Teaching: · Data-informed learning theories: Proposals of new learning/teaching theories or revisions/reinterpretations of existing theories based on large-scale data analysis. · Insights into specific learning processes: Studies to understand particular aspects of a learning/teaching process through the use of data science techniques, including negative results. · Learning and teaching modeling: Creating mathematical, statistical or computational models of a learning/teaching process, including its actors and context. · Systematic reviews: Studies that provide a systematic and methodological synthesis of the available evidence in an area of learning analytics. Evidencing Learning & Teaching: · Finding evidence of learning: Studies that identify and explain useful data for analysing, understanding and optimising learning and teaching. · Assessing student learning: Studies that assess learning progress through the computational analysis of learner actions or artefacts. · Analytical and methodological approaches: Studies that introduce novel analytical techniques, methods, and tools for modelling student learning. · Technological infrastructures for data storage and sharing: Proposals of technical and methodological procedures to store, share and preserve learning and teaching traces, taking appropriate ethical considerations into account. Impacting Learning & Teaching: · Human-centered design processes: Research that documents practices of giving an active voice to learners, teachers, and other educational stakeholders in the design process of learning analytics initiatives and enabling technologies. · Providing decision support and feedback: Studies that evaluate the use and impact of feedback or decision-support systems based on learning analytics (dashboards, early-alert systems, automated messages, etc.). · Data-informed decision-making: Studies that examine how teachers, students or other educational stakeholders come to, work with and make changes using learning analytics information. · Personalised and adaptive learning: Studies that evaluate the effectiveness and impact of adaptive technologies based on learning analytics. · Practical evaluations of learning analytics efforts: Empirical evidence about the effectiveness of learning analytics implementations or educational initiatives guided by learning analytics. CONFERENCE TRACKS The conference has three different tracks with distinct types of submissions that are described below. Please see the submission guidelines page for information on paper format and other technical details of submission for each track. 1. RESEARCH TRACK The focus of the research track is on advancing scholarly knowledge in the field of learning analytics through rigorous reports of learning analytics research studies. The primary audience includes academics, research scientists, doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers and other types of educational research staff working in different capacities on learning analytics research projects. Submission types for the research track are similar to other years, starting for LAK21, LAK follows ACM’s one column format for submissions. Templates and formatting details are included in the submission guidelines. Please note that published Proceedings will appear in ACM two column format. · Full research papers (up to 16 pages in ACM 1 column format, including references) include a clearly explained substantial conceptual, technical or empirical contribution to learning analytics. The scope of the paper must be placed appropriately with respect to the current state of the field, and the contribution should be clearly described. This includes the conceptual or theoretical aspects at the foundation of the contribution, an explanation of the technical setting (tools used, how are they integrated into the contribution), analysis, and results. See bulleted list of questions above for more detailed ideas on useful elements to include. · Short research papers (up to 10 pages in ACM 1 column format, including references) can address on-going work, which may include a briefly described theoretical underpinning, an initial proposal or rationale for a technical solution, and preliminary results, with consideration of stakeholder engagement issues. See bulleted list of questions above for more detailed ideas on useful elements to include. NOTE: If you are a newcomer to the LAK conference, it might be helpful to review the LAK22 ACM proceedings, openly available from the SoLAR website via ACM’s OpenTOC service. For Tips on writing LAK papers see here. Should you have further questions regarding paper length or format, please contact us at lakconference(a)gmail.com 2. PRACTITIONER AND CORPORATE LEARNING ANALYTICS TRACK The Practitioner and Corporate Learning Analytics (PaC-LA) track is complementary to the research track as part of the main conference program and provides a way in which real-world learning analytics implementations and/or related tools, products, product development and researched-based product evaluations in use by practitioners can be shared with the entire community. The intent of the stream is to contribute to our collective understanding of learning analytics in practice, including product development and improvement, researched-based product evaluations, learning analytics deployment, intervention development and evaluation. Specifically, some of the goals of PaC-LA presentations are to: · contribute to the conversation between researchers and practitioners around adoption, implementation, scaling and evaluation of learning analytics, · provide insights from practice around factors affording or constraining learning analytics adoption and implementation, · present effective learning analytics adoption strategies and approaches, and · share experiences on developing a business case for learning analytics adoption. To meet these goals, submissions are encouraged to reflect on the context and purpose of the presented learning analytics initiative, discuss implementation, outcomes, impacts, and learning, and consider implications for others attempting similar work. We also encourage submissions where an initiative did not achieve what was expected, as we believe that such papers can also provide valuable knowledge to the community. We welcome submissions that fall in the scope described above from anyone regardless of their professional roles. Some examples of PaC-LA participants are: · Developers, designers, analysts, and other representatives from commercial and industry entities, non-profit organizations, and government bodies. · Policy makers, department leads, instructional technologists, analysts, learning designers and other services staff from education institutions Successful submissions are expected to offer unique or distinct insights into practical applications, intervention designs, analyses, and/or the processes surrounding their implementation. There is also special interest to explore the growing role of learning analytics in corporate learning, including the skills development of employees, alternative credentialing models, reliance on non-traditional education providers, and the impact of using data to guide corporate learning programs. While submissions are not formal research papers, the more complete the report of the work is, including usage of the learning analytics and their impact, the higher the probability of being selected for inclusion. Further, while the stream is intended for non-researchers, papers are still expected to adhere to high standards of scholarly writing, including: · thorough description of the institutional context for the work · detailed presentation of the innovation and the results found about it · discussion of issues that arose / lessons learned / implications for future efforts by others attempting similar work The following criteria will guide reviewers when selecting submissions, although we recognise that this list may not be applicable to all submissions. Authors are encouraged to consider the following when preparing their submissions: · Learning/education related: The submission should describe work that addresses learning/academic analytics, either at an educational institution or in an area (such as corporate training, health care or informal learning) where the goal is to improve the learning environment or professional learning outcomes. · Implementation track record: The project should have been used by an institution or have been deployed in a learning site. There are no hard guidelines about user numbers or how long the project has been running. · Stakeholder involvement: All submissions should include information collected from people who have used the tool or initiative in a learning environment (such as faculty, students, administrators and trainees). · Overall quality, including potential interest and value for LAK attendees: Project success (or failure) accounts are encouraged, but a focus must be placed on what the community of other practitioners and researchers can gain from learning about the work. What was successful (and why)? What was unsuccessful (and why)? · No sales pitches: While submissions from commercial suppliers are welcomed, reviewers will not accept overt (or covert) sales pitches. Reviewers will look for evidence that the presentation will take into account challenges faced, problems that have arisen, and/or user feedback that needs to be addressed. There is a single submission type for the PaC-LA track that has a special format emphasizing practical aspects of project implementations rather than a research paper format: · PaC-LA Presentation Reports (2-4 page document, using the SoLAR companion proceedings template) should include accounts and findings that stem from practical experience in implementing learning analytics projects. The report gives PaC-LA authors a channel for sharing: the background of why the a) project was implemented and/or b) product was developed; data and the design process that drove the development of the project or product; details about how the project or product has been implemented in a real-world environment; findings from the project or product implementation and its significance, including a reflection on the importance of the reported initiatives in your paper to the broader LAK community. See bulleted lists above for more detailed ideas on useful elements to include and consider in crafting a submission. All accepted submissions to the PaC-LA track will be published in the LAK23 Companion Proceedings and archived on the SoLAR website. 3. POSTERS AND DEMOS · Posters (3 pages, SoLAR companion proceedings template) represent i) a concise report of recent findings or other types of innovative work not ready to be submitted as a full or short research paper or ii) a description of a practical learning analytics project implementation which may not be ready to be presented as a practitioner report. Poster presentations are part of the LAK Poster & Demo session, and authors are given a physical board or virtual space to present and discuss their projects with delegates. · Interactive demos (200 words abstract in SoLAR companion proceedings template + 5 min video) provide opportunities to showcase interactive learning analytics tools. Interactive demonstrations are part of the LAK Poster & Demo session, and presenters are given a (virtual) space to demonstrate their latest learning analytics projects, tools, and systems. Demos should be used to communicate innovative user interface designs, visualisations, or other novel functionality that tackles a real user problem. Tools may be prototypes in an early stage of development or relatively mature products. In whichever stage, tools should have been field-tested with an authentic use case and provide some results and feedback. Submissions for conceptual products or for products that have not been used by instructors and/or students are unlikely to be accepted. 4. PRE-CONFERENCE EVENT TRACK The focus of pre-conference events is on providing space for new and emerging ideas in learning analytics and their further development. Events can have either research or practical focus and can be structured in the way which best serves their particular purpose. The types of submissions for the pre-conference event track are: · Workshops (4 pages, SoLAR companion proceedings template) provide an efficient forum for community building, sharing of perspectives, training, and idea generation for specific and emerging research topics or viewpoints. Successful proposals should be explicit regarding the kind of activities participants should expect, for example from interactive/generative participatory sessions to mini-conference or symposium sessions. · Tutorials (4 pages, SoLAR companion proceedings template) aim to educate stakeholders on a specific learning analytics topic and/or stakeholder perspective. Proposals should be clear about what the need is for particular knowledge, target audience and their prior knowledge, and the intended learning outcomes. REVIEW PROCESS LAK23 will use a double-blind peer review process for all submissions except demos and the doctoral consortium (which each require elements that prevent blinding). To continue to strengthen the review process for both authors and reviewers LAK23 will have a rebuttal phase for full and short research papers in which authors will be given five days to respond to remarks and comments raised by reviewers in a maximum of 500 words. Rebuttals are optional, and there is no requirement to respond. Authors should keep in mind that papers are being evaluated as submitted and thus, responses should not propose new results or restructuring of the presentation. Therefore, rebuttals should focus on answering specific questions raised by reviewers (if any) and providing clarifications and justifications to reviewers. Meta-reviewers, senior members of the research community, make final recommendations for paper acceptance or rejection with justification to the program committee chairs after the rebuttal phase is concluded. Acceptance decisions are ultimately taken by the program committee chairs based on all available information from the review process in combination with the constraints of the allowable space in the conference program. Finally, please note that the conference timeline allows for rejected submissions to be re-submitted in revised form as poster, demo and workshop papers. PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION Accepted full and short research papers will be included in the LAK23 conference proceedings published and archived by ACM. Other types of submissions (posters, demos, workshops, tutorials, practitioner reports and doctoral consortium) will be included in the open access LAK companion proceedings, published on SoLAR’s website. Please note at least one of the authors of each accepted submission must register for the conference by the Early Bird deadline in order for the paper to be included in the ACM or LAK Companion Proceedings.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: WE@SAC 2023 - Paper Submission Deadline 1 October 2022 Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 14:33:54 +0200 From: Flavius Frasincar <frasincar(a)ese.eur.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers Web Engineering Track Evolved from the long running ACM SAC Web Technologies track 38th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2023) March 27 - March 31, 2023, Tallinn, Estonia https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2023/ https://devel.isistan.unicen.edu.ar/we-sac/ Aims and Rationale ------------------ The World Wide Web is relentlessly evolving. Once a single interconnection of static, physically distributed content passively accessed by human users through personal computers, during the explosion of Web-based social networks, the Web evolved into an environment allowing users worldwide to interact and collaborate in the creation of user-generated content within many virtual communities. In this line, Web 2.0 is the umbrella term used to encompass several developments which followed, namely social networking sites and social media sites (e.g., Instagram, Facebook), (micro)blogs, wikis, folksonomies (e.g., Flickr), video sharing sites (e.g., YouTube), Web applications ("apps"), collaborative platforms, and mashup applications. Many technologies such as HTML 5, CSS3, AJAX, and client-side scripting helped to bring these ideas into practice. Moreover, the current Web can be seen as an evolutionary step from Web 2.0 in that access to content is nowadays ubiquitous, content itself is far more heterogeneous, and "users" come in mixed and different flavors. First, ubiquitous access has been mainly pushed by the inception of mobile computing and mobile devices. Second, served and published Web content is not only those following traditional interchange formats (i.e., text, images, audio, video), but also executable code or Web APIs (e.g., ProgrammableWeb.com), from which new applications can be built and in turn published back to the Web. The notion of "Web of objects", which finds its root in Web-accessible Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, promotes the interconnection of hardware elements capable of producing huge amounts of sensor data. Last, the role of Web application end users and Web developers/designers is somewhat blurry, due to modern Web technologies that greatly simplify the creation/deployment of rich Web sites that might consume Web-accessible services. In addition, the advent of the Semantic Web -often named Web 3.0- paves the way to the creation of intelligent applications, and thus the tandem human user-Web browser is no longer the only way to take advantage of Web content. In this context, novel approaches and techniques, new tools and frameworks are needed to address the increasing complexity of the Web and the applications therein. This track aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working on both foundational and practical aspects of Web Engineering, as well as other ideas that in the Web ecosystem have found new and unexpected application fields.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP - 5th Pre-ICIS workshop on the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) 2022 Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 07:26:41 +0000 From: christian.matt(a)unibe.ch To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 5th Digitization of the Individual (DOTI)-Workshop “The digitized individual – from quantified-self to metaverse” Pre-ICIS 2022 Workshop, including an expert panel on “Metaverse: a real change for individuals and society or just another research arena?” and fast-track at Electronic Markets *************************************************************** 11 December 2022, 1:00pm-5:00pm, Bella Center, Copenhagen, Denmark Deadline for paper submissions: 16 September 2022 Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 30 September 2022 Workshop website: http://doti.is-research.com *************************************************************** WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Wearables to track sleeping patterns or contact-tracing to contain pandemics are just two examples which illustrate today’s impact of powerful digital devices and services on individuals’ lives and social interactions. IS research only recently started to conceptualize the phenomenon of digitized individuals (Matt et al. 2019; Turel et al. 2020). First studies investigate the use of digital technologies (e.g., fitness technologies, wearables) and their outcomes on individual health and well-being (e.g., Benbunan-Fich 2019; James et al. 2022) including the dark side of the digitized individual (e.g., Kwon et al. 2016; Turel et al. 2019). However, less attention has been given to a data-based perspective on the individual often referred to as the “quantified-self” (Moya and Pallud 2020). This focus on the data generated by individual users opens new opportunities but also raises new ethical and social challenges. Moreover, the recent attention to virtual places (Saunders et al. 2011) and realities, such as the metaverse (Dincelli and Yayla 2022; Dwivedi et al. 2022), extend our physical world and further increase the need to address the manifold research questions which arise around this emerging phenomenon. This workshop seeks to gather the fragmented views on the digitized individual and bring together researchers interested in understanding the data-based individual observed as quantified-self and in virtual environments such as AR, VR, and the metaverse. Research in this area is also beneficial for practitioners. First, understanding the implications, opportunities and threats of data-based individuals enables suppliers of digital technologies to form closer and stronger connections with their customers and to build services and devices that better match their expectations and improve their everyday lives. Second, this research can help to develop policies and practices that improve the usage of digital technologies and tackle arising challenges on a societal level. By encouraging a systematic focus on the data-based individual, this workshop strives for a common understanding of the role of the individual and the challenges and opportunities owing to novel digital technologies and emerging virtual worlds. The 5th DOTI-workshop on “The digitized individual – from quantified-self to metaverse” will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in conjunction with ICIS 2022 and is scheduled for 11 December 2022, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. To promote further impactful research on individuals, strong emphasis during the workshop will be given to paper development discussions, among others, facilitated by discussants providing direct feedback. As part of the workshop, an expert panel on “Metaverse: a real change for individuals and society or just another research arena?” will provide thought-provoking discussions on important aspects and trends in this particular domain. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that will include snacks and coffee breaks (details will be announced as the conference program is finalized). Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to: • Opportunities and consequences of virtual individuals in the metaverse, such as - User experiences and unique immersive experiences - Extended omnichannel commerce and new consumption patterns - Digital interaction and collaboration among virtual individuals - Digital twins in virtual worlds • Quantified-self as driver of and challenge to health and well-being, such as - Effects of usage of digital devices on physical, mental, and emotional performance - Gamification and connected sport and health - Techno-overload and self-optimization - Self-surveillance, data exploitation and data privacy as well as IT-security issues • Ethical and social challenges of quantified and virtual individuals, such as - Issues related to socially vulnerable populations, individual responsibility, gender, race and ethnicity - Information overload and intensification of experience - Isolation in virtual worlds and difficulties with reentry into the real world - Malpractices and unethical behavior by individuals, such as lying to themselves or others SUBMISSION, REVIEW, AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS Manuscripts should be submitted as email attachments to the workshop co-chairs at (mailto:doti@is-research.com) with the subject heading "DOTI workshop submission". The deadline for submission is 16 September 2022. Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection decisions by 30 September 2022. As a paper development workshop there will be no formal proceedings; accepted papers will be made available to other attendees for the period of the workshop and a printed abstract will be included as part of the workshop materials. Additionally, we are delighted to offer a fast-track opportunity at Electronic Markets (EM) – The International Journal on Networked Business. SUBMISSION FORMAT There are two types of submissions: full papers and research-in-progress papers. The length of full papers and research-in-progress papers is limited to 7,000 words and 4,500 words respectively (excluding references). The format of the submission is a Word or PDF document that includes a title, author names and affiliations, and 3-5 keywords. The submission should follow the ICIS formatting guidelines. All submissions to DOTI must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings. If the work has been presented at another conference or is currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere, the authors must disclose this fact. At least one author for every accepted paper must register for the workshop and be prepared to present their ideas in person (both full and RIP papers will be presented). Due to the strong emphasis of the workshop on paper development, the workshop schedule ensure room for detailed discussions and each presentation will be accompanied by a discussant providing direct feedback to the individual work.

This resistance has brought a new focus and meaning to our technology research direction, i.e., resiliency, availability, and sustainability. As we go forward, we have learned that we must carefully prepare a variety of alternatives, keep them in operation, and continue to adapt them and us to changing circumstances. For instance, the notion of security can be interpreted as the maintenance of high availability. It can also be said that resilience is the ability to keep the lights burning, even if the quality of stability is significantly reduced. Inspired by these thoughts, COMPSAC 2023, which is organized as a tight union of symposia, will focus on all the innovative research aspects of computing in a sustainable cyber-physical world, including resilience computing, security, healthcare analytics, e-government and e-society, metaverse worlds, intelligent autonomous systems, Internet of Things networks, explainable artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual augmented reality. The technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, workshops, and tutorials on emerging and important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that will address the technical challenges facing researchers and practitioners who are driving fundamental changes in Computers, Software, and Applications in Resilience Computing Systems and Tools. Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges raised by rapidly changing communication norms concerning computing and collaboration. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work and industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted in the COMPSAC 2023 JC & CJ program. All submissions must adhere to IEEE Conference Publishing Policies and will be vetted through the IEEE CrossCheck portal. *Important Dates Main conference papers due January 15, 2023 Notification April 1, 2023 Camera-ready & registration May 1, 2023 Workshop papers due April 7 2023 Notification May 1, 2023 Camera-ready & registration due May 7, 2023 *Standing Committee Vice Chairs Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed, Marquette University, USA Mohammad Zulkernine, Queen’s University, Canada *General Chairs Marco Aldinucci, University of Turin, Italy Ali Hurson, Missouri University of Science & Technology, USA Marina Marchisio, University of Turin, Italy Forrest Shull, Carnegie Mellon University, Software Engineering Institute, USA *Program Chairs in Chief Yuuichi Teranishi, National Institute of Information & Communications Technology, Japan Alfredo Cuzzocrea, University of Calabria, Italy Moushumi Sharmin, Western Washington University, USA Dave Towey, University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), China [Kennesaw State University] Maria Valero, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Information Technology Director of Internet of Things as Service Research Group College of Computing and Software Engineering / Information Technology 680 Arntson Drive Office J312 / Phone: 410-578-4552 Marietta, GA e: mvalero2(a)kennesaw.edu<mailto:mvalero2@kennesaw.edu> w: iotas.kennesaw.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

A major disturbance in services provided by the critical infrastructures can result in a severe strain on business, government and society in general. Furthermore, critical infrastructures often constitute a variety of hardware, software and communication technologies. However, their deployment is a large-scale and costly effort. Therefore, methods, techniques, tools and recommendations related to the implementation of critical infrastructures based on quality perspectives (security, safety, reliability, robustness, privacy, legal topics) are essential. Special considerations should be also given to secure communication, data manipulation (including storing and processing) and overseeing the entire infrastructure. Additionally, an ability to extract the essence of current critical infrastructures into models, which will enable simulation of their behaviour under stress from different circumstances that can emerge in the future is important. This would allow detection of weak and strong spots of these infrastructures before their implementation, and effectively also the prevention of the weak ones. In this track, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to critical infrastructures. Research challenges include how to design, build and deploy critical infrastructures and the impact on performance. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as experiments and simulation. In addition, practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged. Topics of Interest ============================================ The conference covers the development, assessment, operation, and maintenance of critical infrastructures. Main topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-based dependability analysis, design, and assessment - Testing, verification, and validation methods and tools for critical infrastructures - Qualification, assurance, and certification methods and tools - System-of-systems paradigm in critical infrastructure analysis and design - Fault detection, tolerance, and recovery mechanisms - Resilient and fault-tolerant hardware and software architectures - Distributed and real-time monitoring and control - Risk assessment in critical infrastructures - Digital forensics in critical infrastructures - Big Data analysis techniques to support critical infrastructures - Experiments and case studies in the context of critical infrastructures - Data-driven techniques for engineering dependable systems - Cyber-physical threats and vulnerability analysis - Safety and security guidelines, standards, and certification - Deployment of IoT for critical services - Identification of system bottlenecks and points of failure - Legal compliance tools and techniques, cybersecurity and privacy requirements Paper Categories ============================================ We welcome original unpublished work in areas related to critical infrastructures. The submitted manuscripts should present a substantial contribution. We welcome research papers as well as reports on innovative industrial applications and tools.
