“Internet for Survival”: How the effective and democratic evolution of the
Internet towards an infrastructure/ecosystem supporting resilience and
equality depends on deeply intertwined considerations rooted in
technological, social and economic sciences.
INSCI is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together scholars
and practitioners
at the intersection of technological, social and economic sciences
seeking to learn how the Internet can be used to make our world a better
place. Its insights are expected to create a better understanding of
this complex socio-technical system we
call “Internet”, for instance to inform political decisions on the
technological priorities
for public funding and to drive a more sustainable and equitable
development of the
innovation and social ecosystems it supports.
INSCI welcomes fundamental and applied multidisciplinary research,
including policy-
oriented studies and works offering technological solutions, that
investigate the role
of Internet for sustainable development, social and economic resilience,
collective intelligence, reliable information processing and protection,
and, more generally, for
a holistic understanding of societal transformations, governance shifts
and innovation
quests.
INSCI welcomes works done in interdisciplinary teams that may include
computer scientists, sociologists, policy makers, economists, designers
and artists, or complex
system scholars, among others, preferably uniting expertise from social,
economic and technical sciences. This kind of work is expected to close
the gap between societal / economic impact and requirements and
technological developments, seen
as both drivers and consequences of each other.

From: Arturo CANO BEJAR <acanobej(a)asu.edu>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
Dear Colleagues,
The SIGADIT community at AMCIS 2023 will be offering a mini track focused
on Information Privacy and Security in IT Resistance and Adoption.
The adoption and diffusion of information technology is profoundly
dependent on how stakeholders perceive and mitigate information privacy and
security issues in relation to others and the interconnectedness of
information technologies. This mini track leverages evolving social
dynamics to call for research that focuses on the psychological effects of
information privacy and security factors such as stress and anxiety on
resistance, modified use, resumption, and/or abandonment of technology. We
welcome inspiring and stirring ideas to reconcile the regulatory, cultural,
ethical, and humanistic tensions surrounding stakeholder views of privacy
and security. Additionally, this mini track serves as a forum for the
presentation and discussion of information privacy and security challenges
related to the design, implementation, and diffusion of technologies,
including innovations such as household technology, autonomous cars, AI,
and IoT. To foster inclusive discussion of these important issues, this
mini track is open to all quantitative and qualitative research methods.
We welcome all ideas within the domain of information privacy & security in
IT resistance and adoption, exemplar directions are:
- The short and long-term effects of information privacy and security
threats.
- Peers' behavior influencing the protection of individual information
privacy and security.
- Understanding the effects of multi-reality, or interconnectedness of
information technologies.
- Information privacy and security compliance.
- Information privacy and security challenges in IoT, autonomous cars,
household technology, and others.
- The effects of stress and anxiety on the resistance, modified use, and
abandonment of IT.
- Information privacy and security regulations such as information/data
ownership, transparency, profiling, and their effects on the resistance and
adoption of information technologies.
- Recovery mechanisms such as coping and resilience affecting the use of
IT.
- Cultural nuances on perceptions of information privacy and security.
- The adoption and resistance of healthcare information technology due
to information privacy and security concerns.
- Information privacy and security issues in information systems
communities and forums in the dark net.
- Issues regarding the measurement of single and multi-dimensional
constructs such as concern and control.
This Special Interest Group provides a great opportunity for academics and
professionals to engage in meaningful discussions and collaboration around
the domain of Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology.

Track Description -
https://amcis2023.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-9
*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.

Background:
Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and others are a
growing epidemic facing modern society. The Mental Health America
society estimated that nearly a fifth of the adult US population
suffered a mental illness in 2019-2020 and that 94% of these individuals
did not receive any treatment [6]. Information Technology (IT) such as
wearables, digital pills, cope notes, VR, and others have been proposed
and used to help address the growing mental health crisis. However, the
understanding of the design, development, adoption, use, and impact of
such technologies for diagnosing and treating mental health illnesses
remains nascent. Information Systems (IS) scholars are starting to study
various aspects of mental health, including occupational stress
[1,3,5,8], distress [2,7], and diagnosable mental health disorders
[4,9]. However, significant areas of opportunity remain for developing
and evaluating digital technologies that could help identify or tackle
anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder, panic, social
anxiety), mood disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder), and
addiction (e.g., substance abuse, chemical dependence).
This Special Section seeks to expand research related to IT for mental
health and spearhead an ongoing research agenda related to this subject
in the IS discipline. We are specifically seeking contributions that
improve our understanding of how IT could be leveraged to identify
mental health conditions and improve mental health. We encourage a wide
range of content, including theory, qualitative and quantitative
approaches, and design science for mental health for this Special
Section. Example topics within the scope of this special section
include, but are not limited to:
* Impact of IT designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental health issues
* Design, development, and evaluation of new artifacts for identifying
mental health conditions from social media
* Improving mental health with Metaverse-related technologies
* Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and related sensor signal
analysis-based approaches for identifying depressive behaviors
* AI systems to identify individuals in mental duress
* AI systems to recommend mental health interventions
* Automated identification of mental health progression
* Mental health intervention program development and deployment
* Adoption of mental health IT
* New theories around IT use and deployment for mental health
* Role of IT in improving mental health services
* Human-AI interfaces to support mental health decision-making processes
* IT for improving mental health for specific demographics or
socioeconomic status
* Bias in IT for mental health
Irrespective of the topic, the focus on how IT is being used or
developed to identify mental health conditions or improve mental health
should be evident (IT is a central theme of the paper). Research that
examines the negative impacts of technology (e.g., antecedents to
technostress) do not fit the theme. We welcome research that uses or
employs various types of methods and analysis, including:
* Qualitative methods, including interviews and observations
* Quantitative methods, including experiments and surveys
* Archival and observational research methods
* Mixed methods research
* Design science research
* Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled analytics methods, including
machine learning, deep learning, text mining, and network science
Timeline:
Authors should submit a two-page extended abstract to the Guest Editors
prior to submission to assess the fit of their paper with the special
section. The abstract should clearly present the research question,
theory, method and expected contribution. Authors are encouraged to
submit prior to the deadline and papers will be processed as they are
received. The editorial timeline will proceed as follows:
* Expression of Interest: March 1, 2023 (two-page abstract, single
spaced, 12 point font)
* Initial Submission Due: July 31, 2023
* Notification of First Round Decision: November 30, 2023

Journal: Data and Information Management
(https://www.journals.elsevier.com/data-and-information-management)
Special issue: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis in Information
Management Research
Given the importance of both methods in advancing academic research, we
call for papers addressing research questions in information management
research using systematic literature review and/or meta-analysis techniques.
Guest editors:
Associate Professor Jian Mou, PhD
School of Business, Pusan National University, Busan, South Korea
(jian.mou(a)pusan.ac.kr)
Professor Jason Cohen, PhD
School of Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, South Africa
(jason.cohen(a)wits.ac.za)
Special issue information:
Systematic literature review and meta-analytic methods are being widely
adopted by scholars in diverse fields, and are particularly useful for
providing an overview of a certain issue. In the field of information
management and information systems, there are many literature review
papers addressing privacy issues, health misinformation, enterprise
security, IS offshoring, and so on. In addition, more than 30
meta-analysis papers have been published in AIS senior basket journals
during last few decades. Both methods are important to systematically
examine prior research, synthesize and resolve inconsistencies in prior
findings, and provide benchmarks for future studies. Furthermore,
scholars can employ literature review and meta-analysis to build and
test theory in a specific domain and research phenomenon.
But they have some important differences. Systematic literature reviews
integrate findings from a body of literature or domain in a narrative
manner (Combs et al., 2019), while meta-analyses correct measurement and
sampling errors to estimate true correlations between the studied
variables (Glass et al., 1981) and often provide information about the
variables moderating the magnitude of relationships being investigated
(Rosenthal,1994).
Given the importance of both methods in advancing academic research, we
call for papers addressing research questions in information management
research using systematic literature review and/or meta-analysis
techniques. We particularly welcome papers that make significant
contributions in the following ways: (1) outline the scope of a topical
domain and overview the current state of research, (2) resolve
inconsistencies and highlight research gaps across extant studies, (3)
accumulate and synthesize extant knowledge, and (4) derive future
research directions (Hulland & Houston, 2020).
We will not limit the research topics and welcome studies with a wide
range of topics applying these research methods in the field of
information management. In general, we expect to receive articles in two
broad categories:
(1) Methodological articles highlighting novel or underutilized
techniques that can be used to conduct systematic literature review and
meta-analysis research in information management research;
(2) Systematic review and meta-analysis research papers that make
important contributions to the emerging topics, such as big data and
analytics, dark sides of IS, health informatics, artificial
intelligence, cloud computing, block chain, sharing economy, metaverse,
FinTech, etc.
Manuscript submission information:
We encourage original and high-quality submissions that are not
submitted to or accepted by other journals. Significantly extended
version of conference or workshop papers (essentially 30% novel content)
are welcome.
For research papers, the authors are expected to highlight the
contribution of the submitted article in the cover letter.
Submitted papers must conform to the author guidelines available on the
DIM journal website at
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/data-and-information-management/2543-9251….
Authors are required to submit their manuscripts online through the DIM
submission site at https://www.editorialmanager.com/dim, and choose the
article type "SI: Systematic review".
Please submit your paper before the due date, 30th June 2023. For any
questions or queries, reach out to our Managing Guest Editor, Associate
Professor Jian Mou at jian.mou(a)pusan.ac.kr.

/* Please note that the deadline for title and abstract submission for
KR 2023 appearing in WikiCFP website is incorrect! The correct deadline
for title and abstract submission is March 3, 2023. */
20th International Conference on
*Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023*
September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece
*First Call for Papers*
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and
lively field of research within Artificial Intelligence. KR builds on
the fundamental thesis that knowledge can be represented in an explicit
declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated symbolic
reasoning engines. This enables the exploitation of knowledge that
would otherwise be implicit through semantically grounded inference
mechanisms. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice
of various areas in AI, including agents, automated planning and natural
language processing, and to fields beyond AI, including data management,
semantic web, verification, software engineering, robotics,
computational biology, and cyber security.
The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth
presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the
representation and computational management of knowledge.
KR 2023 will consist of a number of tracks and events: the Main Track,
the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, the
special session on KR, Robotics & Planning, the Recently Published
Research (RPR) Track, the Tutorials & Workshops, the Doctoral
Consortium, and the Diversity and Inclusion Session. Details about all
these events will be made available later (possibly in separate calls).
Contributions to the Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, the
special session on KR & ML, and the special session on KR, Robotics &
Planning will take the form of papers that will be published in the
proceedings of KR 2023. We solicit papers presenting novel results on
the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations
of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented
or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that
show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of
KR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications,
experiments, developments, and tests. Further details about the
submission guidelines and the selection criteria to be considered for
the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, and
the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will be given later
(possibly in separate calls).
*Submission Guidelines*
The Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, as well as the special
session on KR & ML and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning
will allow contributions of both *regular papers (up to 9 pages)* and
*short papers (up to 4 pages)*, including abstract, figures, and
appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements,
prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines provided in
the submission page.
Both full and short papers must describe original, previously
unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for
publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously
accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival
proceedings, or to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv).
Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files
provided in the submission page. Submissions are not anonymous (i.e.,
reviewing will be single-blind) and must be submitted in PDF format,
through the EasyChair conference system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023
The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract
must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair conference system
by the abstract submission deadline. It will be possible to make minor
edits to the title and abstract until the full paper submission
deadline. Submissions with “placeholder” abstracts will be removed
without consideration.
Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper
submission deadline. The list of author names provided at submission
time is final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers
following submission.
Authors may optionally submit a separate PDF containing additional
information that substantiates the claims made in their paper, such as
proof details, additional experimental results, further details on
experimental design, etc. If authors wish to make such material
available to reviewers, they should do so by submitting a file through
EasyChair, rather than by including links or references in their paper.
The main paper must be self contained, as the supplementary material
will not be published. Reviewers will have the option, but not the
obligation, to consult the supplementary material.
**
*Selection Process*
The program committee consists of PC members (reviewers) and Area Chairs
(ACs), who overview the reviewing and meta-reviewing process.
Selection criteria include the novelty and originality of ideas,
correctness, clarity, significance of results, potential impact and
quality of the presentation.
Papers violating the format (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes)
or describing contributions that do not significantly meet the topics of
the conference will be desk rejected by the program chairs, without any
opportunity to submit an author response. By submitting a paper,
authors acknowledge that they are aware of the possibility of receiving
a summary rejection notification.
Papers that are not desk rejected will be reviewed by a group of PC
members (PCs) and the reviewing process will be supervised by an Area
Chair (AC).
The review process will include the opportunity for authors to respond
to the reviews by pointing out factual errors in the reviews and
answering specific questions by the reviewers. Author responses should
be concise, and are not intended to create a dialogue between reviewers
and authors. Author responses will be visible to PCs and ACs.
The final decisions will be made by the program co-chairs. There will be
no appeal for the decisions made.
Accepted papers will be published in the KR 2023 proceedings. At least
one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the
conference and present the work.
Prizes for best papers (the Ray Reiter Best Paper Prize and the Marco
Cadoli Best Student Paper Prize) will be possibly awarded, and
runners-up will be possibly pointed out. Top papers from KR 2023 will be
invited to the award-winning paper tracks of Artificial Intelligence
(AIJ) and of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR).
Thus, award winners will have the possibility of choosing between AIJ
and JAIR.
All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the
publication date.

Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2023 CFP Information Security Education
Training and Awareness Mini-track (Information Security and Privacy Track)
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 13:20:18 +0000
From: Coulon, Thibaut <coulon.thibaut(a)uqam.ca>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
AMCIS 2023: August 10 – 12, 2023 (Panama City, Panama)
https://amcis2023.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-20
Track: Information Security and Privacy
Mini-track: Information Security Education, Training, and Awareness
================================================================
DESCRIPTION:
Information security breaches are largely attributed to employee
non-compliance with organizational information security policies. For
this reason, information security practitioners and researchers alike
have recommended that organizations develop information security
education, training, and awareness (SETA) programs that provide
employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to act appropriately
in the face of information security threats. Organizations have
accordingly dedicated significant resources to the implementation and
dissemination of SETA programs.
In this regard, IS research can play an important role in identifying
the different theories and practices that may be effective in shaping
employees’ knowledge and compliance with organizational information
security policies. In this mini-track, we welcome all empirical,
theoretical, and conceptual works of any and all methodological
approaches that examine this topic.
IMPORTANT DATES
* January 21, 2022: Manuscript submissions open
* 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

Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Workshop on Logic Representation of Traffic
Rules (LoReTra)
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:58:08 +0100
From: adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
=================================
Call for Papers
Workshop on Logic Representation of Traffic Rules (LoReTra) in conjunction
with ICAIL 2023 The 19th International Conference on Artificial Inteligence
and Law
https://www.rechtsinformatik.saarland/en/loretra-icail-23
Motivation
-----------------
Using symbolic logic to formalise legal norms is one of the most traditional
goals of legal informatics as a scientific discipline. More than mere
theoretical value, this approach is also connected to promising real-world
applications involving, e.g., the observance of legal norms by highly
automated machines or even the (partial) automatisation of legal reasoning,
leading to new automated legal services.
Albeit the long research tradition on the use of logic to formalise legal
norms – be it by using classic logic systems (e.g., first-order logic), be
it by attempting to construct a specific system of logic of norms (e.g.,
deontic logic) –, many challenges involved in the development of an adequate
methodology for the formalisation of concrete legal regulations remain
unsolved. This includes not only the choice of a sufficiently expressive
formal language or model, but also the concrete way through which a legal
text formulated in natural language is to be translated into the formal
representation.
The workshop LoReTra seeks to explore the various challenges connected with
the task of using formal languages and models to represent legal norms, at
the example of traffic rules, in a machine-readable manner, and reasoning
with such formalizations, e.g., in autonomous driving.
Topics
-----------------
LoReTra seeks to discuss current research questions concerning (among
others):
- Knowledge representation methods applicable to legal norms (in particular
traffic rules), including different types of (deontic) logic or comparable
formalisms
- Formalisation of and reasoning with rule-exceptions, rule-conflicts and/or
contrary-to-duty obligations
- Formalisation of abstract legal concepts and basic principles of law
(e.g., "human dignity", "mutual respect", "care", "danger", "trust")
- Models and approaches to the practical implementation of
law-formalisations (e.g., (legal) ontologies, LegalRuleML, PROLEG, reasoning
engines, SAT-solvers)
- Models and approaches - including automated methods - to adequately
'translate' legal provisions (especially traffic rules) from natural
language to a formal symbolism
- Legal and/or engineering challenges arising from the use of formal
representation methods to formalise legal norms (especially traffic rules)
- Methods and approaches for legal and ethical AI reasoning and compliance
checking in autonomous driving applying formalized traffic rules and legal
knowledge
- Machine learning methods and approaches for knowledge extraction and
learning and hybrid symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches for knowledge
representation and reasoning with traffic rules
We particularly invite submissions including experience reports on concrete
attempts at implementing formalisations of legal norms within an automated
system.
Scope
-----------------
The workshop aims to attract participants from various disciplines,
particularly from Computer Science, Law and Philosophy, and to be of
interest to anyone working on the application of knowledge representation
methods to the field of law.
Participation and Submission
----------------------------------
People interested in participating are invited to submit high quality,
original short (5-9 pages) or long papers (10-14 pages) in the CEUR-WS.org
style template CEURART (1-column variant), available at:
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
and
https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt.
