by Gustaf Neumann 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] First Pre-ECIS Workshop on Democratization of IT through Low Code Development - Call for Contributions Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 19:56:33 +0000 From: Janson, Andreas <andreas.janson(a)unisg.ch> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (Apologies for cross-postings) CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Workshop - Democratization of IT through Low Code Development Platforms - A Dream Coming True or Same Same but Different? - European Conference on Information Systems 2023 (https://www.ecis2023.no/program/workshops-and-ancillary-meetings/workshop/?…) in Kristiansand, Norway Official Workshop Homepage: https://sites.google.com/view/low-code-ecis23-ws/ ABOUT THE WORKSHOP > From the early start of the IS discipline, practices, organization, > and management of IS Development, have been central research areas. > New techniques and methods are becoming popular to develop systems as > quickly and efficiently as possible, especially with business > development goals in mind. However, in practice, projects continue to fail at a high rate, measured by delays, time and budget overruns, and the inability to meet expected functionality and quality. Low code development platforms (LCDPs) may be a solution to overcome these aforementioned issues as they allow the quick development and deployment of applications. By offering easy to handle development processes that typically require no code, LCDPs are enabling the democratization of IT development. When it comes to developing novel software artifacts, so-called citizen developers are no longer reliant on the coding skills of IT developers. Further, LCDPs are not completely code free and also enable more sophisticated development projects. This enables individuals with a non-IT background to re- and upskill towards IT development, and also enables the sustainable co-creation of digital environments in tandems between software developers and business owners. This workshop provides a forum for discussing research related to LCDPs, based on a phenomenon-driven approach. We seek papers and contributions such as position viewpoints that focus on organizational, group, and individual levels analysis of LCDPs. We invite regular submissions (completed and research in progress papers) based on conceptual or empirical studies using qualitative or quantitative methods researching future-of-work, governance, and IS development (not exhaustive). In addition, we invite position viewpoints on the topic of LCDPs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Low-code/no-code approaches to IS design and development * Agile, lean, and DevOps approaches to Low Code development and project management * Technical and organizational challenges of designing Low-Code Environments, including the role of and interaction between developers and business experts * Role of Platforms, Orchestrators and APIs in IT Development with Low-Code Environments * AI as the next layer of No-/Low-Code, e.g., ChatGPT or GitHub Co-Pilot * Regulation and compliance issues in low code development * Socio-technical aspects of design and project management in Low Code development * Education, including the role of digital platforms and traditional institutions in providing Low Code related education * Project management challenges in Low code development, including estimation, risk, quality assurance, governance, knowledge, team dynamics, and managing organizational change * Role of stakeholders in low code development RELEVANT DATES Deadline for submission (all deadlines AoE timezone): - 30 April 2023 (for research papers as well as research in progress papers) - 31 May 2023 (for position statements) Notification of acceptance: 31 May 2023 Workshop Date: 13 June 2023 - held as a one day event SUBMISSION INFORMATION We accept research-in-progress papers (7 pages) as well as full papers (12 pages), or position statements (up to two pages highlighting problem statement, research question, research method and expected contributions).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] call for papers - HybridAIMS'23 Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 06:53:42 +0000 From: Emanuele Laurenzi <emanuele.laurenzi(a)fhnw.ch> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, aisworld-owner(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld-owner(a)lists.aisnet.org> =============================================================================== Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Modelling (HybridAIMS'23) June 12-13, 2023, Zaragoza, SPAIN https://hybridaims.com/ =============================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES: - Paper submission: March 19th, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: April 4th, 2023 - Camera Ready: May 4th, 2023 Hybrid Artificial Intelligence is the research direction that focuses on the combination of two prominent fields sub-symbolic AI (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, neural networks) and symbolic AI (e.g., knowledge graphs, knowledge representation and reasoning, knowledge engineering, knowledge-based systems). Approaches from both fields have complementary strengths and enable the creation of Intelligent Information Systems (IIS). For example, whilst neural networks can recognize patterns in large amount of data, knowledge-based systems contain domain knowledge and enable logical reasoning and explainability of conclusions. AI approaches are typically integrated with application systems, which provide data for the AI approaches and use the results of these approaches for further processing. Thus, the creation of IIS requires high expertise in both AI approaches, knowledge about the application domain and IT knowledge. An early inclusion of domain experts in the engineering process is beneficial as it promotes a high quality of an IIS and would reduce its building time. Such an early inclusion is, however, challenging because stakeholders from business and IT have complementary skills and speak different languages: one more technical and one more business oriented. Enterprise Modelling (EM) can tackle this challenge as it supports business and IT alignment. It is an established approach for the conceptual representation, design, implementation, and analysis of information systems. This is of relevance for AI approaches. Graphical notation of enterprise models fosters human interpretability, hence supporting communication and decision-making, involving stakeholders from the application domain, IT and AI. The convergence of Hybrid Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Modelling promises to deliver high value in the creation of Intelligent Information Systems. _______________________________________________________________________________ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES In this workshop, we welcome full research papers (12 pages) and short (position) papers (6 pages). The accepted papers will be presented in time slots of 20 minutes for regular papers and 15 minutes for short papers. The quality of this workshop will be ensured by having each contribution reviewed by at least three experts in the field. The papers will be published in proceedings in Springer LNBIP series and, thus, will be indexed. To submit your paper you must use the EasyChair site of the CAiSE 2023 conference through the track "Hybrid Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Modelling for Intelligent Information Systems (HybridAIMS23)". Submissions must conform to Springer, LNCS format. _______________________________________________________________________________ LIST OF TOPICS Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise or Visual Models Hybrid Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise or Visual Models for Human-in-the-Loop Hybrid Artificial Intelligence in and for Enterprise Architecture Hybrid Artificial Intelligence for Business Process Management Hybrid AI and Visual Models for Ontology Learning Hybrid Recommender Systems with Visual Models Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Neural Networks, and Visual Models for Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning for Knowledge Graphs or Ontology-based Models Machine Learning in Ontology-based Case-Based Reasoning Explainable AI through Enterprise Models Low code approaches for, e.g., Knowledge Graphs, Machine Learning, Knowledge Engineering, Hybrid AI Engineering Visual Conceptual Models for, e.g., Ontology Constraints, Knowledge Graph Embeddings, Machine Learning, Knowledge Engineering Domain-Specific Models for Domain Ontology or for Enterprise Ontology Knowledge Engineering, Representation and Reasoning and Visual Conceptual Models Ontologies and Visual Models for Rule-Based or Case-Based Reasoning approaches Semantic Technologies for actionable Enterprise Models Combining Ontology-based Business Processes and Data-Driven Approaches Enterprise AI _______________________________________________________________________________ HybridAIMS 2023 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Co-Chairs: Emanuele Laurenzi Hans Friedrich Witschel Peter Haase Contact: info(a)hybridaims.com<mailto:info@hybridaims.com> _______________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FHNW - University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland School of Business Dr. Emanuele Laurenzi<https://www.fhnw.ch/en/people/emanuele-laurenzi>, Lecturer and Senior Researcher in Intelligent Information Systems & Innovation PhD in Information Systems Riggenbachstrasse 16<x-apple-data-detectors://2/> (room ORI 209) 4600 Olten, Switzerland<x-apple-data-detectors://2/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T +41 76 789 33 16 P +41 62 957 28 26 emanuele.laurenzi(a)fhnw.ch<mailto:emanuele.laurenzi@fhnw.ch> https://www.fhnw.ch/en/people/emanuele-laurenzi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We educate innovative, responsible specialists and managers for an interconnected and ever-changing world."

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - HICSS 2024 - Blockchain Cases and Innovations Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 11:37:06 +0000 From: Paulo Rupino Cunha <rupino(a)dei.uc.pt> To: ISWorld list <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - Blockchain Cases and Innovations minitrack Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-57), Waikiki, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2024 http://www.hicss.org/ <http://www.hicss.org/> Blockchain Cases and Innovations minitrack, under the Organizational Systems and Technology track https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-57/organizational-systems-and-technology/#b… <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-57/organizational-systems-and-technology/#b…> Blockchain, the technology underlying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, has been receiving considerable attention in recent years, as new use cases in the public and private sector have been identified. What started as a solution to the double-spending problem in Bitcoin, is being explored as the backbone technology in scenarios where a trusted third party (e.g., a notary or a bank) is normally required. Using this technology, transactions are securely registered on a data structure (aka the ledger) replicated across a network of peers that validate the entries using a consensus mechanism. New records are cryptographically linked to existing ones, rendering them virtually immutable. The resulting auditability and transparency have been leveraged in proposing innovative solutions to land registries, to stop the spread of conflict diamonds, to fight the counterfeiting of medication, to make supply chains less opaque, and, generally, to promote new financial services. Additionally, blockchains can also store and enforce the execution of algorithmic code know as smart contracts – pieces of code that are executed automatically once predetermined conditions are met – further reducing uncertainty and promoting confidence among stakeholders that would not normally trust each other. Nevertheless, we are still in the early days of blockchain adoption, compared by some to the introduction of the World Wide Web itself. Then, as now, few if any could predict the full extent of the disruptive innovations that would emerge fostered by this emerging technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Innovative uses of Blockchain technology • Blockchain case studies, applications, and implementations • Blockchain and privacy, security, and identity • Blockchain and digital transformation • Decentralized Finance (DeFi) • Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) • Decentralized Applications • Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) • Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) • Tokenization • The social and organizational impact of blockchain • Barriers and enablers in blockchain adoption • Blockchain and business model innovation • Regulatory frameworks for Blockchain • Governance and Blockchain • Verticals using Blockchain (financial, healthcare, energy, transportation, others) • Blockchain in e-government and public administration • Blockchain and the Internet-of-Things • Blockchain in education • Blockchain in solving migration and refugee issues • Blockchain-driven marketplaces • Uses and challenges of smart contracts • Technology and infrastructure issues in Blockchain • Blockchain and Metaverse Important Dates for Paper Submission: June 15, 2023 | 11:59 pm HST: Submission Deadline August 17, 2023 | 11:59 pm HST: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2023|11:59 pm HST: Deadline for Submission of Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2023 | 11:59 pm HST: Deadline for at least one author to register for HICSS-57 Minitrack co-chairs: Marinos Themistocleous (Primary Contact) University of Nicosia themistocleous.m(a)unic.ac.cy <mailto:themistocleous.m@unic.ac.cy> Paulo Rupino da Cunha University of Coimbra rupino(a)dei.uc.pt <mailto:rupino@dei.uc.pt> Maria Papadaki British University in Dubai maria.papadaki(a)buid.ac.ae <mailto:maria.papadaki@buid.ac.ae> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Tool Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, *excluding references* for which there's no page limit, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. Additional details to substantiate the main claims of the paper, such as proofs, data tables or code snippets, can be included in a clearly marked appendix beyond the page limit, and read at the reviewers discretion. Authors are requested to first register their submissions with a title and abstract, and then submit their manuscripts in PDF format at the HoTCRP page. Submission site: https://hotcrp.inesctec.pt/srds23/ - All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. It is recognized that, at times, information regarding the identities of authors may become public outside the submission process (e.g., if a pre-print is published as a technical report or on a pre-print server). The PC will ignore this external information. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission: - Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page. - Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources. - Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work by another author. - Submissions that do not conform to the above anonymization and formatting guidelines (e.g., are too long, use fonts or line spacing smaller than what is indicated) or are unoriginal, previously published, or are under submission to multiple venues concurrently, will be desk rejected without review. - If you have any question regarding paper submission, please do not hesitate to contact the conference PC Chairs: Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Dan Kim, Alexandre Maurer. SRDS 2023 will include an Artifact Evaluation (AE) process, allowing artifacts (software, data sets, ...) used in research to be validated and actively disseminated together with accepted papers. Submitting artifacts for evaluation is optional but strongly encouraged, as public and reusable artifacts foster replication, reproduction, and extension of research results. Artifact submission will be available for accepted papers shortly after notification, so authors should be prepared in advance. *** BEST PAPER AWARD *** All accepted papers SRDS will compete for the "Prof. C. V. Ramamoorthy Best Paper Award". The SRDS Best Paper is named after Prof. Chittoor V. Ramamoorthy, who was instrumental in the 80’s for the success of SRDS, many of his former students have also significantly contributed to the conference. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers - Special Issue – Smart Cities: IoT and Sustainability as Drivers for Future Developments in MDPI Journal Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2023 17:20:28 +0100 From: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de Reply-To: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de To: WI(a)lists.kit.edu *###########################################################################* *Special Issue – Smart Cities: IoT and Sustainability as Drivers for Future Developments* *https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42* <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42>** *MDPI Journal Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) (Impact Factor of 3.889)* *Deadline for submission 1st of December 2023 * *###########################################################################* Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce a call for submissions for the *Special Issue "Smart Cities: IoT and Sustainability as Drivers for Future Developments" (ISSN 2071-1050).* Public entities, cities, and municipalities are progressively acknowledging that the effects of climate change, energy policy, and the continual advancement of digital technologies necessitate a recalibration of resource utilization and practical measures. To this end, smart solutions are often deployed, or Internet of Things technologies are used to support changes in the way resources and energies are traded, e.g., by controlling appliances to make better use of renewable energy. The aim of this journal is to examine and discuss the latest contributions related to the Internet of Things and sustainability trends for smart cities. The authors are encouraged to showcase sample applications, technological advancements, and intelligent solutions that facilitate enhanced resource and/or data management. The intelligent handling of data will be a key prerequisite for creating transparency and, at the same time, supporting resource-saving actions; for example, the requirement to install smart meters and the availability of dynamic tariffs is not automatically associated with an improvement in resource consumption. Scientists are called upon to present their own new ideas and approaches to solutions and, above all, to address problems that have not yet been solved. The call for submissions for "Smart Cities: IoT and Sustainability as Drivers for Future Developments", belonging to the section "Sustainable Urban and Rural Development", focuses on the following topics in the background of Smart Cities and sustainability: Applications from the field of the Internet of Things or the use of data science and AI methods for dealing with big data, e.g., environmental data or open data as a basis for citizen participation in sustainable decisions. Approaches, applications, and solutions for sustainable energy supply or sustainable management of resources in smart cities e.g., use of renewable energy sources, water management in rural areas (extreme weather events) Approaches, applications, and solutions to improve the circular economy or logistics in smart cities. Case studies and best practices are also welcome for submission in the aforementioned topics. *Important dates* Deadline for manuscript submissions: 1 December 2023 Submissions are made using the MDPI templates (Microsoft Word template or the LaTeX template) via the MDPI website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42 <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42> *Special Issue guest editors:* Jorge Marx Gómez, Department of Computing Science, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany (e-mail: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uol.de) Andreas Solsbach, Department of Computing Science, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany (e-mail: andreas.solsbach(a)uol.de) *Journal Website:* https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42 <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/6M61BFOU42> Kind regards, Jorge Marx Gómez Andreas Solsbach ------------ Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.
