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.

Fwd: [WI] CfP Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2'23)
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Apr '23

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2'23) Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 12:47:03 +0000 From: Schmidt, Rainer <rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu> Reply-To: Schmidt, Rainer <rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> The 16th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2'23) As part of BPM 2023 21st International Conference on Business Process Management September 11, 2023, Utrecht, The Netherlands Call for Papers Deadline for workshop paper submissions: May 30, 2023 Workshop Theme The involvement of human aspects in Business Process Management takes place both on a social and individual level. Social information systems such as social media, Enterprise 2.0, and social platforms are spreading quickly in society, organizations, and economics. Enterprises use social information systems to improve their business processes and create new business models. Integrating business process management and social information systems becomes more and more widespread. New approaches for using social information systems in combination with business process management appear frequently. Social information systems are used both in external and internal business processes. Companies can co-create products and services, e.g., companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas and features. Thus, communication with the customer is increasingly bi-directional. Integrating business process management and social information systems enables the creation of new business models using social platforms. Social platforms enable the creation of cross-side network effects and are therefore called two- or multi-sided markets. Prominent examples are TripAdvisor, UBER, and Airbnb. By using the value-creating mechanisms of social information systems, business models became possible, which were not realizable before. E.g., AirBnB uses a crowdsourcing model for quality control by using users' reviews of apartments. In this way, a quality assessment of products and services became possible that was too costly so far. Social information systems also create new possibilities to enhance internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, speeding up decisions, etc. Social information systems enable value-creating interactions such as weak ties, social production, and egalitarianism. These value-creating interactions open new possibilities and potentials for the design of processes. Weak ties enable the flexible integration of process participants, social production paves the way for the bottom-up definition of business processes, and egalitarian decisions change how decisions are made in business processes. Using value-creating interactions is tightly intertwined with new forms of involvement of human beings in business process management. Human aspects complement the social perspective on business process management. The fact that more and more enterprises are using business process management implies that the human individual is involved in a multitude of business processes. Individuals must cope with multiple process contexts and thus must administer data appropriately. It is necessary to reflect on Human-Human interactions and responsibility, in a virtual/digital environment where everything becomes information. Digital assistants such as Alexa integrate individuals into processes that could not interact with conventional computers. In this way, new forms of interaction between processes and humans arise. Furthermore, individuals must integrate external business processes into their work environment or even to couple several external business processes. Human aspects of business process management relate to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication among people, during and after the process execution, and to the social process of collaborative modeling. They also relate to the interaction/collaboration / coordination / cooperation that should be implemented in the business process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process itself and their representations in models. Before this background, the goal of the workshop is to explore how social information systems integrate with business process management, and how business process management may profit from this integration. Furthermore, the workshop investigates the human aspects introduced into Business Process Management by involving human actors. Examples are the use of crowdsourced knowledge and tasks, the need for new user interfaces, e.g., augmented reality and voice bots. The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process Management, Social Business and Platforms, and Human Aspects of Business Process Management. Social Business Process Management is the use of Social information systems to support one or multiple phases of the business process life cycle. 1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM) - Social information systems in the BPM lifecycle e.g., Design, Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation - BPM methods and paradigms to cope with Social information systems - Influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism, and mutual service provisioning on BPM - Trust and reputation in business processes management carried through Social information systems - Influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism, and mutual service provisioning in the design and management of business processes? - Integration of Social information systems with WFMS or other business process support systems? - Conceptual modelling for knowledge-intensive and social business processes? 2. Social Business and Social Platforms: Social information systems supporting business processes - New opportunities offered by Social information systems for the support of business processes - Social platforms and their support for business processes and new business models - Value (co-)creation in social business and social platforms - Sociality requirements of business processes according to their nature (predictable/nonpredictable; production/collaborative/ad hoc) - Use of Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes - Reflections on Human-Human interactions and responsibility, in a virtual/digital environment where everything becomes information: Social networks, social engineering, discernment, reflection vs. reflex, ethics, responsibility, citizenship. - Fitting between types of Social information systems and phases of the BPM lifecycle - New trends in business knowledge modelling leveraged by social production 3. Human Aspects of Business Process Management - Concepts, technologies, and services to support human beings acting in business processes, e.g. process mining, natural language processing, large language models, etc. - Algorithmic management - Crowdsourcing - Assistants such as Google, Alexa, Siri etc. in business process management and business processes - New interfaces to business processes: chatbots, virtual reality, augmented reality etc. - Reflections on Human-Human interactions and responsibility, in a virtual/digital environment where everything becomes information: Social networks, social engineering, discernment, reflection vs. reflex, ethics, responsibility, citizenship. - Human-centric business processes - Human resource management in business processes (workloads, skills, preferences, affinities, context, mobility, etc .) Goal Based on the twelve previous successful BPMS2 workshops since 2008, the goal of the BPMS2'22 workshop is to promote the integration of business process management with social information systems and social software and to enlarge the community pursuing the theme. Workshop paper format Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise relevant questions, or describe the successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20-minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation. Short papers will be published in separate CEUR proceedings. Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. The length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility to buy additional pages).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - HICSS 2024 - Blockchain Cases and Innovations Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2023 07:03:53 +0100 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

Fwd: [AISWorld] ACM JOCCH Special Issue on Extended Intelligence for Cultural Engagement
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Apr '23

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ACM JOCCH Special Issue on Extended Intelligence for Cultural Engagement Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2023 12:45:49 +0300 From: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Special Issue Extended Intelligence for Cultural Engagement Deadline 15th September 2023 Scope and Context In recent years new forms of citizen participation in cultural heritage have emerged, producing a wealth of material relevant to curatorial practices, spanning from visitors’ experiential feedback to exhibitions and cultural artifacts, to digitally mediated forms of interaction, e.g. on social media. However, there are open questions on how digital innovation can influence and support new ways of engaging with cultural heritage. These include, among others, how to engage audiences that are not the common “museum goers” including teenagers and young adults as well as minority groups, how to encourage interaction and share opinions between different groups, and how to promote the acceptance of diverse opinions. Innovations include new ways for interacting with the digital world (virtual and augmented reality), paired with new powerful computing methods provided by either neural or symbolic artificial intelligence for. How should we interact with cultural heritage? Citizen curation is proposed in the context of the European project SPICE - Social Participation, Cohesion, and Inclusion through Cultural Engagement (https://spice-h2020.eu/) - as a methodology for eliciting, producing, collecting, interpreting, and archiving people’s responses to cultural objects. This “participatory” approach deals with the reappraisal of expertise in cultural heritage, with the museum curator no longer being a lone expert, thus requiring methods and technologies that are accessible to different types of people with various skill levels, and differing goals and motives. The outcomes of citizen curation can complement traditional expertise by following an Open Work perspective and favor the emergence of multiple, sometimes conflicting viewpoints that motivate users and memory institutions to reflect upon them. Citizen curation imagines a bazaar of solutions and providers that work together in an open-ended, distributed digital ecosystem for cultural engagement, going beyond the limitations of current frameworks and platforms for the management of cultural data. This Special Issue will appeal to academics and museum professionals working in disciplines involving the application of novel ICT to cultural heritage, museums data management infrastructures, arts professionals and scholars interested in digitally-mediated cultural engagement and its impact upon curation, teaching and learning, and social cohesion and inclusion. Submissions can include both theoretical and practical approaches and case studies, focusing on innovative research and applications of state-of-the-art technologies. We welcome submissions from practitioners in the industry and early career researchers. Topics Topics and issues to be addressed include but are not limited to: * Digitally mediated Citizen Curation * Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Engagement * Augmented Reality for Cultural Engagement * Virtual Reality for Cultural Engagement * Data Infrastructures for Citizen Curation and Cultural Engagement * AI-driven HCI for Cultural Engagement * Embodied Cognition in Cultural Engagement * Recommender systems for Cultural Engagement * Digital Technologies and inclusion in cultural heritage * Supporting groups in Cultural Heritage sites * Inclusion and diversity in cultural heritage * Detecting and measuring Cultural Engagement Editors Enrico Daga, The Open University enrico.daga(a)open.ac.uk <mailto:enrico.daga@open.ac.uk> http://www.enridaga.net Rossana Damiano rossana.damiano(a)unito.it <mailto:rossana.damiano@unito.it> http://www.di.unito.it/~rossana Lily Díaz-Kommonen lily.diaz(a)aalto.fi <mailto:lily.diaz@aalto.fi> https://sysrep.aalto.fi Tsvi Kuflik tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il <mailto:tsvikak@is.haifa.ac.il> https://tsvikak.hevra.haifa.ac.il Manuel Striani manuel.striani(a)unito.it <mailto:manuel.striani@unito.it> https://www.unito.it/persone/mstriani Important Dates * Paper Submission September 15th 2023 * First Decision: December 15th 2023 * Revision: March 1st 2024 * 2nd Revision: July 1st 2024 * Final manuscript: September 1st 2024 * Publication: December 2024 Tsvika Tsvi Kuflik, PhD.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Electronics Special Issue: Data Push and Data Mining in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2023 17:52:47 +0800 From: allenau(a)ccu.edu.tw To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: kfwu(a)mis.ccu.edu.tw Dear Colleagues, Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is one of the ultimate goal of computers. A.I. can passively obtain knowledge and rules from data mining technology, and also can actively push data, alarm, remind, or even make the decision from user's devices when some criterion is fulfilled. Recently, the big data collecting from IOT, stock, healthcare, automobile vision, and so on. Streaming data as well as its auto control is a mature technology. The intervention of A.I. plays the role of solving the most tedious and timely problems. The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on the "data push and data mining of the age of artificial intelligence", providing new approaches and technologies for better understanding knowledge-based artificial intelligence. Submissions to this Special Issue are solicited to represent an innovative and creative snapshot of the field's development by covering a range of topics that include, but are not limited to: data push; data mining (such as association rule, time sequence, outlier, etc.); knowledge representation; topology; AI algorithms, solutions, and applications. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 6th International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Conceptual Modeling (EmpER'23) Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 15:12:14 +0000 From: Sotirios Liaskos <liaskos(a)yorku.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> * At a Glance . Submission Deadline: August 2nd, 2023 . Location: Lisbon, Portugal . Papers: Complete studies, designs, or position papers (10 LNCS pages max) . Web site: https://emper-workshop.github.io/2023/ * Overview Conceptual modeling has enjoyed substantial growth over the past decades in fields ranging from Information Systems Analysis to Business Process Engineering. A plethora of conceptual modeling practices (languages, frameworks, methods, etc.) have been proposed, promising to facilitate activities such as communication, design, or decision-making. Success in adopting a conceptual modeling practice is, however, predicated on convincingly demonstrating that it indeed successfully supports these activities. At the same time, the way individuals and groups produce and consume models gives raise to cognitive, behavioral, organizational or other phenomena, whose systematic observation may help us better understand how models are used in practice and how we can make them more effective. Furthermore, the act of building conceptual models is ideally informed by empirical evidence that is nowadays abundant in the form of digital data. This overabundance of data, combined with the advent of advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, introduces major opportunities and challenges in an empirically-informed conceptual modeling practice. * Aim and Topics We aim at bringing together researchers with an interest in the empirical investigation of conceptual modeling practices, as well as with the study of a data-driven, evidence-based conceptual modelling practice. Contributions include but are not limited to: . Complete, on-going or planned empirical studies in conceptual modeling. . Literature Reviews on empirical research. . Theoretical/philosophical positions. . Technical contributions, case studies, or position and vision papers on data-driven, evidence-based conceptual modeling. . Discussions/positions on statistical and methodological issues. . Lessons learned from past studies. * Submissions We solicit three types of papers: . Full papers describing a completed study or a technical contribution in empirical conceptual modeling. . Work-in-progress papers describing a planned study or study in progress, or other early results. . Position, vision, and lessons papers about the use of empirical methods for conceptual modelling. Papers shall be limited to 10 pages in LNCS format. The EmpER'23 accepted papers will be published within the ER Workshop proceedings, in the Springer LNCS Series. * Format and Duration The workshop will consist of paper presentations with an emphasis on discussion. Time permitting, papers presenting on-going studies will have a discussion session led by a designated member of the program committee. * Location The workshop will take place in Lisbon, Portugal in conjunction with the 42nd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2023). * Important Dates . Submission date: August 2nd, 2023 . Workshop author notification: September 4th, 2023 . Camera-ready submission: September 20th, 2023 .

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: HICSS57 - Knowledge Flows Minitrack Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 16:08:40 +0000 From: Nissen, Mark (CIV) <MNissen(a)nps.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: Knowledge Flows, Transfer, Sharing and Exchange This minitrack examines the nature and role of knowledge flows across people, organizations, places and times from technical, managerial, behavioral, organizational and economic perspectives. As the nature of dynamic knowledge changes due to digitalization, consumerization of information technology (IT) and the integration of artificial agents into daily routines, it is increasingly important to understand the changes required in how knowledge workers conduct work, share knowledge and information, and learn. Knowledge management (KM) activities in organizations are no longer supported only by traditional information and communications technologies (ICTs; e.g., databases, data warehouses, information repositories, websites, email streams), but are also enabled through new forms of ICTs including artificial intelligence (AI; e.g., agents, bots, learning algorithms), social software or Web 2.0 technologies and Internet of Things (IoT). The ubiquitous and pervasive nature of these new fo rms of ICTs are creating flexible KM sharing environments that need to be researched more systematically. This minitrack focuses on examining the nature and role of knowledge flows (e.g., knowledge transfer, sharing and exchange) across people, communities, networks and organizations, as well as across both space and time. Technical, managerial, behavioral, organizational and economic perspectives on knowledge flows will be accepted and presented in this minitrack, and both qualitative and quantitative research methods are welcome. Potential topics that this minitrack will address include: * Technical, managerial, behavioral, organizational and economic challenges and perspectives on knowledge flows * The effects on knowledge flows of the consumerization of IT (CoIT); Internet of things (IoT); social media, social computing, social networks and communities, communities of practice (CoPs); information and computer technologies (ICTs); knowledge reuse; organization and economic incentive structures; artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics; neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces, artificial humans and other computer-based entities * Knowledge system analysis, design, test, evaluation, implementation, maintenance and redesign * Harnessing, analyzing, visualizing and measuring knowledge flows for creativity, innovation, competitive advantage Manuscripts are due 15 June 2023. They must be submitted through the HICSS website and conform to all length and formatting requirements. Experience suggests that accepted manuscripts will reflect high quality and originality, but the minitrack also encourages authors to explore new ideas and to gain constructive comments and suggestions through the conference sessions. Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems Mini track: Knowledge Flows, Transfer, Sharing and Exchange Author Instructions: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ Please direct any questions or concerns to the minitrack chairs.
