CIoT provides a high-quality international academic and industrial exchange forum for experts and scholars in the field of intelligent systems, cloud computing and Internet of Things. The conference will be designed and prepared as a in person event. However, in the case of perduring traveling restrictions (official or de facto) during the conference dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be ready to convert the conference to a fully on-line event. We hope the conditions will allow for in-person participation, so we can enjoy face-to-face discussions and coffee breaks again. It would also give the opportunity to participants to visit the beautiful city of Marrakech. CIoT’21 is a conference focusing on the challenges of managing Internet of Things applications while considering the whole end-to-end architecture over the sixth generation of mobile networks (6G) and next-generation data center networking from to cloud to the edge and IoT devices. The next generation of telecommunication networks is expected to support a growing number of smart terminals, such as cell phones, sensors and other connected objects, to provide real-time applications and to provide intelligence and trust embedded in network infrastructure. To meet these requirements, the 6G envisions the use of artificial intelligence, cloud and edge computing. The 6G network will absorb the billions of flows generated by things while considering the requested QoS and the cohabitation of M2M, M2H and H2M flows. Then, the flows will be processed in data centers and applications will exploit the extracted knowledge. The main objective of CIoT’21 is to address challenges of clouds and IoT systems from the sensors/machines to the end-users attached to the Cloud while considering the 6G network connecting both IoT and Cloud domains. Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 8 pages (full papers). They have to be submitted electronically in PDF format. Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process. CIoT’21 will also hold an industrial track. The industrial track gathers scholars and industrial participants to highlight practical and real-world studies and applications of cloud and IoT technologies. This track aims to foster cooperation between participants engaged in scientific research and practitioners working to improve the development of new cloud and IoT applications. Each submission should describe the problem addressed, the approach used, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the benefits or lessons learned, and future developments.

Despite its medical and technological advances, much of the world was unprepared for what its people faced. With a death toll and mortality rates unseen in modern times, the datafied world amidst some populist regimes witnessed additional pandemics within the pandemic. In the changing world, broadband internet access has become more essential to enabling people to lead their lives while locked-down and/or in quarantine, or working or schooling from home. In some areas, people have become accustomed to accessing healthcare information, resources and providers through mobile and/or other devices for their COVID-19 information, while tracking and tracing is being carried out using mobile applications. Those at the margins become vulnerable to digital biopolitics or efforts by governments and corporations to maximize knowledge and control of populations using digital me ans for political and economic power. Implications for inclusion and not being left behind need to be further assessed. In this the datafied society, increased data surveillance offered cause for activism and fight for human rights and freedoms. This also referred to as the datafied pandemic in which life revolves on the internet more than ever through access to tools, basic services, and social environments. Within these digital divides, the forces of globalization forge ahead with perils and promises. Scholars in Information Systems are investigating societal impacts of ICTs on people, data and things, and research in Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) is becoming increasingly diverse. Innovations in ICT4D involve investigating innovations in ICTs as well as innovative uses of ICTs. Current innovative uses of blockchain technologies to track refugees, offer new identification mechanisms, healthcare tracking for epidemics and the use of cryptocurre ncies to offer payment systems are offering new ways for people to bring about improvements in their lives. While drawing upon theories that help understand these emerging phenomena, research in ICT4D and IS also requires attention to the contextual challenges facing practitioners in the field. There have been attempts to develop theories that enable these challenges to be understood. The Global Development workshop addresses questions that provide new and meaningful definitions of Development, such as, Can ICTs support the development that will lead to improvements in lives of individuals, communities and regions? And inevitably, one needs to ask questions about how to better understand these problems and challenges. The papers in this workshop will also further the knowledge of what we know about how ICT enables the global economy by enabling local needs to be met in a manner that preserves the ability of the planet to support human life. Relevant topics for this Workshop include: 1. ICT transformations during and post-pandemic 2. Novel approaches for ICTs for development 3. Theoretical lenses and/or empirical studies that enable an understanding of: ICTs & Sustainable Development; ICTs & Health Care; ICTs & Peace building; ICTs & Disaster Recovery. 4. Social, political, and community development impacts of ICTs. 5. Data Justice implications of ICTs in the pandemic 6. Designing ICT artifacts that support holistic Development. 7. Security & Technological constraints on the use of ICTs for development 8. The role of government policy in fostering ICT human capital, cooperation and capacity building 9. ICT Impact Analysis: Sophisticated analyses of the empowering potential & dangers posed by ICTs. 10. Social networking for Development 11. Critical and theoretical perspectives on the digital divide and social inclusion 12. Challenges of ICT support for vulnerable groups 13. Educational systems; content provision and delivery; developing ICT skills 14. Frugal Innovation and innovative ways in which technologies are applied in developing regions. WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS: These will be published on the SIG GlobDev website and in the AIS E-Library with ISBN: 978-0-9976176-9-6. FAST-TRACKING TO JOURNAL: Authors of selected workshop papers will be invited to submit their papers for possible inclusion in a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology for Development<http://globdev.org/dev/?q=node/8> (ITD).

Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities of institutional affiliations in the text, figures, photos, links, or other data that is contained in the paper. Authors' prior work should be preferably referred to in the third person; if this is not feasible, the references should be blinded. Submissions that violate these requirements will be rejected without review. The list of authors cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved by the Program Chairs. ***Early submissions: Authors are invited to consider early submissions. In the early submission round, only papers submitted as full/regular papers will be considered, and they will go through a full peer-review process. An early submitted paper that is accepted will be included in the proceedings. An early submitted paper that is rejected can be still revised and submitted to the normal submission round by the given deadline. If the authors of an early submitted paper that is rejected decide to resubmit their paper to the normal submission round, they will have to include an appendix (2 pages) describing how they have addressed the comments received by the reviewers from the early submission. ***Normal submissions: Authors are also welcome to submit papers to the normal submission round by the given deadline. After the normal submission deadline, the papers resubmitted from the early submission round and those submitted only to the normal submission round will undergo a traditional review process. The decisions made from this normal review procedure will be final and no resubmission will be permitted afterwards. It should be noted that unformatted papers and papers beyond the page limit may not be reviewed. ================================================================= Important Dates Normal paper submission due: August 22nd, 2021 Final notification to authors: September 20th, 2021 Camera ready manuscripts due: October 3rd, 2021 Author registration: October 3rd, 2021 Early bird registration: TBA Conference dates: November 22-25, 2021 All deadlines are in Samoa Standard Time (SST = GMT – 11).

A selection of the top accepted papers will be invited for special issues in journals, the specific list will be announced soon. ================================================================= Areas of interest ICSOC 2021 will be divided into two main tracks, the research track and the visionary track. While the visionary track targets visionary papers with high potential that may bring some impact in the future for the community, the research track will focus on the following four main areas. ---Focus Area-1: Service Oriented Technology Trends This focus area targets outstanding, original contributions, including theoretical and empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences, with emphasis on results that solve open research problems and have significant impact on the field of digital services and service-oriented computing. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to: * Service-oriented Engineering * Service design, specification, discovery, customization, composition, and deployment * Service validation and test * Service change management * Intelligent context-aware interfaces * Theoretical foundations of Service Engineering * Transformation of monolithic applications to microservices * Run-time Service Operations and Management * Service execution middleware * Service monitoring and adaptive management * Workload compliance management * Microservices deployment and management * Security, privacy, and trust for services * Secure service lifecycle development * Privacy management aspects for services * Contract based security approaches * Secure service composition * Trust management for services * Services and Data * Services for big data * Service mining and analytics * Data-provisioning services * Services related linked open data * Services on the Cloud * Cloud service management * Cloud workflow management * Cloud brokers and coordination across multiple resource managers * XaaS (everything as a service including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) * Workload partitioning, balancing, and transformation * Services at the Edge * Cloud and fog computing * Edge service orchestration * Lightweight service deployment and management * Quality of Service (QoS) in edge services * Security, privacy, and trust of edge services * Services in the Internet of Things (IoT)/Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) * Embedded and real-time services * RFID, sensor data, and services related to the IoT/CPS * Services for IoT/CPS platforms and applications * Service oriented protocols for IoT/CPS applications * Services in Organizations, Business, and Society * Social networks and services * Cost and pricing of services * Service marketplaces and ecosystems * Innovative service business models --- Focus Area-2: Blockchain Technologies A blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that records and stores transactions among a number of interacting parties in a network. Each transaction must be validated via a consensus mechanism executed by the network participants before being permanently added as a new “block” at the end of the “chain.” Disruptive technologies such as blockchain, AI, services, and cloud enable companies and administrations to provide decentralized, trusted, transparent and user-centric digital services while enhancing user/consumer experience. These technologies have the ability to transform the way we use the internet and digital services globally. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to: * Blockchain in digital services * Block chain and smart business transactions * Block chain and smart contracts * Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT) * Blockchain in cyber physical systems * Blockchain in edge and cloud computing * Disintermediation and collaboration mechanisms in block chains * Peer-to-peer networks * Block chain platforms * Blockchain in supply chain management * Trust and security services in block chains * Cutting edge cipher algorithms --- Focus Area-3: Industry 4.0 Technologies Industry 4.0 (or smart manufacturing) sets the foundations for completely connected factories that are characterized by the digitization and interconnection of supply chains, production equipment and production lines, and the application of the latest advanced digital information technologies to manufacturing activities. The manufacturing paradigm championed by the Industry 4.0 brings together processes, software services and systems, machines, devices, IoT, sensors, valves, actuators, manufacturing systems, and connected digital factories. All these computer-driven systems create a virtual copy of the physical world and help make decentralized decisions with a much higher degree of accuracy. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to: * Digital twins and digital threads * Digital product management * Digital manufacturing * Digital transformation * Digital reality * Embedded systems * Internet of Things in Industry 4.0 * 3D printing/additive manufacturing techniques * Machine-To-Machine communication for smart manufacturing * Smarter analytics * Manufacturing Intelligence * Smart factories * Smart asset management * Smart Cyber-Security in Industry 4.0 * Blockchain in Industry 4.0 --- Focus Area-4: Smart services, Smart data and Smart applications Smart data systems and services support the processing and integration of data and services into a meaningful unified view to enable more effective decision making and problem solving. The decisive criterion here is not necessarily the amount of data or services available, but smart content techniques that promote not only the collection and accumulation of related data and services, but also its context, and understanding. This requires finding useful insights and discovering patterns and trends within the data and services to reveal a wider picture that is more relevant to the problem in hand and react to them. Smart applications are context aware, intelligent and autonomous industrial strength applications that incorporate data-driven, actionable contextual insights into the user experience to enable users to more efficiently complete a desired task usually taking the form of recommendations, estimates, and suggested next course of actions in context. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to: * Smart Big Data * Predictive Modelling * Visualization & Augmented Reality * Smarter Analytics * Machine Learning * Multidimensional Data * Sensor Networks * Smart cities * Smart applications for the construction industry * Smart transportation systems * Smart logistics & distribution * Smart agriculture and food chains * Smart government * Smart sensors & IoT for large scale industrial applications * Traceability and Tracking * Detection of data and key performance metrics to improve application efficiency * Conceptual structures and knowledge architectures for smart applications * Agile & DevOps methodologies for smart applications ================================================================= Paper Submission The conference solicits outstanding original research and practice papers on all aspects of service-oriented computing. Papers should clearly demonstrate the research or practical contribution, the relevance to the field, and the relationship to prior work. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their rigor, significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS Formatting Guidelines. Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 15 pages. All papers must be submitted electronically to the Conference Submission System.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP-the 10th International Workshop on the Changing Nature of Work (CNoW) Pre-ICIS 2021 Workshop Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 14:21:53 +0000 From: Liana Razmerita <lra.msc(a)cbs.dk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *************************************************************** 10th International Workshop on the Changing Nature of Work (CNoW) Pre-ICIS 2021 Workshop - SIG CNoW Workshop theme: Changing the nature of work while building more sustainable and resilient organisations Workshop date and time: 12 December 2021, from 9:00-17:00, GMT – 5 (TBC) Submission deadline for extended abstracts: 25 September 2021 Notification of acceptance: 18 October 2021 Workshop website: www.cnow.digital<http://www.cnow.digital> Submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=10thcnow<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair…>. *************************************************************** WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION The nature of work and organizations is changing with the deeper embedding of modern new digital technologies in the workplace. This is transforming work but also changing and challenging core aspects of organisations such as employee connectedness, engagement and how meaning and identity are formed and reproduced in day-to-day work. These deep effects contribute to the emergence of new forms of organising based on open platforms of communication, collaboration, and exchanges - for example, the growing use of crowd-based work platforms where it becomes less relevant to which organizations individuals belong. Digital workplace platforms and ecosystems can thus support more dynamic and fluid work arrangements within and across organisations, and allow for more flexibility in terms of when, where, and how we work. The potential to leverage the opportunities from this new landscape of work in organisations to improve the lives of workers is enormous but also, there is great potential to create a better society and more sustainable and resilient organisations. Yet, this changing nature of work also raises many concerns and unintended consequences (e.g., digital fatigue, impact on well-being, meaningless work with algorithmic management and the corrosion of privacy). This is the theme for this workshop where we would like to discuss new and current research that improves or challenges our understanding of these themes. At the workshop, a combination of short presentations and group discussions will be used to facilitate the exchange of ideas. The workshop will take place in a hybrid format. Furthermore, we will have keynote presentations from: * Monideepa Tarafdar (University of Massachusetts at Amherst) * Tina Blegind Jensen (Copenhagen Business School) * Sandra Peter (Sydney Business School) (TBC) You are invited to submit extended abstracts about your research (maximum 5 pages) related to the changing nature of work. Indicate whether this is a completed research project or research-in-progress. Potential topic areas include (but are not limited to): * Emerging new patterns of work and organising * Digital working and workplace technologies * Algorithmic management within work platforms * Effects of remote work due to COVID pandemic * Digital infrastructures of work * Modern workspace as a combination of physical and digital environments * Changing spatial and temporal dimensions of work * Work fragmentation and nomadic work practices * New forms of virtual teamwork and virtualization of work * Virtual collaboration in digital organization * The use of AI in shaping new work practices * New technology-enabled forms of employee participation and engagement * Gig economy and crowd-work * Impact on professions and labour through digitization and automation * Impact of the digital workplace on work-life balance and boundary management * Creating more sustainable and resilient work arrangements in modern organisations * Managing digital exhaust and privacy issues This is the 10th CNoW workshop. It started out at ICIS in Milan in 2013 and has been held every year since. We are a growing community and have this year joined AIS as a Special Interest Group - the Changing Nature of Work with ICT (SIGCNoW).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [CFP] Special Issue - Equitable Pandemic Response & Recovery - JHP Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2021 16:36:36 +0000 From: Franco, Zeno <zfranco(a)mcw.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS: Equitable Pandemic Response & Recovery: Designing Person Centered Public Health JOURNAL OF HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY GUEST EDITORS: - Zeno Franco, PhD, Department of Family & Community Medicine, DrPH program faculty, Medical College of Wisconsin - Robert “Biko” Baker, PhD, African and African Diaspora Studies, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee - Michael Stevenson, MPH, Population Health Institute, University of Wisconsin - Madison - Monique Liston, PhD, Ubuntu Research and Evaluation - Marques Hogans, MPH, Ascension Wisconsin - Dawn Yang, Nyob Zoo TV - Margarita Northrop, MPH, MIPA, Office of Policy and Practice Alignment, Division of Public Health, State of Wisconsin - Katinka Hooyer, PhD, Department of Family & Community Medicine, Center for Healthy Communities & Research, Medical College of Wisconsin - Paula Tran Inzeo, MPH, Population Health Institute, University of Wisconsin - Madison - David Nelson, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Family & Community Medicine, DrPH Program Director, Medical College of Wisconsin - Anthony BlackOwl Sr, undergraduate student, Department of Psychology, University of California - Davis - Marie Sandy, PhD, Department of Administrative Leadership, Affiliate Faculty, Zilber School of Public Health, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee - Susanne Jul, PhD, Founder, Creative Crisis Leadership - Ganapathy Pattukandan, PhD, Centre for Mitigation and Management, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India - Gina Belton, PhD PHN, PhD Psychology Program, Existential Humanistic Psychology Saybrook University THOUGHT PARTNERS - InPower Solutions - Creative Crisis Leadership OVERVIEW & INTENT OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE This special issue is motivated by experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a desire to explore an increasingly transdisciplinary view of public health, integrating ideas as decolonial praxis from psychology, ethnography, anthropology, economics, cultural, arts, and communications studies. Our intent is to build on conversations about inclusive and equitable disaster recovery that place individual and lived experiences of communities - within the context of the broader disaster event - at the forefront of the discussion. Humanistic psychology presents a unique and open framework for exploring how human potential, actualization, and strengths can be leveraged in challenging situations. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed how profound inequities in social determinants of health lead to increased disease incidence, morbidity and mortality in Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Asian and other communities, reflecting generations of colonization and epistemicide. Bridging humanistic psychology, public health, and communities can provide important insights about attuning person- and neighborhood-centered public health strategies for major crisis events to particular cultures, languages, and value systems. This special issue will emphasize completed projects that demonstrate real-world application of the ideas drawn from these disciplines in applied pandemic response and/or recovery. We are looking for specific response examples that show significant and sustained attention to equity, community health concerns, and culturally attuned public health messaging during the pandemic. Projects that explicitly navigate issues around individual, community, and institutional power are encouraged. We recognize that data capture was often a secondary consideration to direct community response during the pandemic. Thus, well constructed post-project analysis, after action reviews, reflection and commentary are also welcome. Research strategies that acknowledge epistemic injustice through community-based practice, cultural centeredness, and application of Traditional Indigenous Knowledges (TIK) are strongly encouraged. Data that speak to community views and priorities, including photographs, field notes, artwork, URL pointers to music, multimedia, software systems (e.g. chatbots, etc.) are viewed as fundamental forms of evidence, although projects presenting quantitative data or mixed-methods approaches are also actively sought. Regardless of the specific methods or forms of data, clear evidence of direct public health response that illustrate lessons learned from completed COVID-19 related projects will be most competitive for inclusion. On one hand, we are interested in papers that show effective partnerships between major agencies and communities, for example, departments of public health, universities, hospitals, and healthcare systems working with community-based organizations and residents. Alternatively, manuscripts might focus on grassroots, spontaneous responses that are wholly driven at the individual or neighborhood level without institutional partners. Where appropriate, the ability to show genuine equity and community inclusion in authorship will also be given special attention. Projects that are similarly oriented but reflect other recent crisis events will be considered. While much of the editorial team is based in the US, JHP is an international journal. Papers reflecting lessons from international and transnational projects are encouraged. POTENTIAL TOPICS -- Application of person- & community-centered approaches in COVID-19 -- Institutional civic engagement and capacity building in the context of crisis -- Community health workers, promotores/as, ambassadors in COVID-19 response -- Community-led / grassroots pandemic response -- Attuning public health communication for BIPOC, rural, migrant, and other hard to reach populations -- Economic instability, homelessness, workers’ rights & conditions of employment -- Managing chronic health considerations during the crisis -- Mental health as a public health concern during COVID-19 -- Cultural influencers and trusted messengers -- Arts & music based public health communication strategies -- Cultivating non-traditional leadership in times of crisis -- Community power building during the pandemic response -- Addressing vaccine hesitancy/confidence in communities of color -- Reflection on the personal, community and societal impact of the pandemic -- Innovations in action research and human centered design for crisis events -- The role of humanistic psychology in public health and disaster response -- Designing equitable and inclusive pandemic recovery -- Conceptualizing the future of public health as a local and global priority PROCESS & DEADLINES ARTICLE PROPOSAL - to be considered, authors must submit a 1-2 page (800 word maximum) preliminary article proposal. The guest editors will review for relevance, demonstration of practical COVID-19 response experience, and may make suggestions about the direction for the first draft. All proposals will receive feedback. Authors with the most compelling proposals will be invited to submit a full manuscript. Submit article proposals VIA EMAIL TO: zfranco(a)mcw.edu Please put “JHP Special Issue Proposal” in the subject line. FIRST DRAFT SUBMISSION: Accepted proposals will move on to formal submission through the Journal’s Scholar One online submission portal. Guidelines for authors can be found at: https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-humanistic-psychology/journal20…<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://au.sagepub.com/en-gb/oce/journal-of-hum…> JOURNAL REVIEW PROCESS: All first draft submissions will go through formal peer review, including at least one external reviewer, guest editor review, and review from other submitting authors where authors do not have conflicts of interest. All submitting authors should expect to provide at least one review of another article. ONLINE AHEAD OF PRINT: Because of the number of articles currently in production at JHP and issues ahead of this one, authors are cautioned that final print production may be substantially delayed. However, JHP publishes all accepted articles rapidly in online ahead of print format. The review schedule for this special issue is aggressive, in part to ensure that accepted articles are available online as quickly as possible - both to address professional needs of the authors and to make information in the special issue available for ongoing recovery efforts. By submitting to this venue, authors acknowledge that final print production may follow at a substantially later date. STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS: Undergraduate students, graduate students, community partners and other groups who have been substantively involved in a COVID-19 response effort are welcome to submit as lead or supporting authors. The guest editors emphasize the importance of the role of mentorship into formal academic discourse and inclusion of multiple, non-traditional stakeholder types as contributors. EDITORIAL COLLABORATION SUGGESTIONS: Because of the constraints of the number of articles that can be included for the special issue, we may suggest that author groups with no prior collaboration experience seriously consider presenting multiple case studies as a single paper. You are free to decline this suggestion, but doing so may decrease the chances of your work being included because of space considerations. While authors may initially be uncomfortable with such collaborations, the resulting case comparison work is often more powerful, and ends up being heavily cited in the field. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE SPECIAL ISSUE -- October 1, 2021 - Preliminary article proposal due (email submission) -- December 1, 2021 - First draft manuscript due (JHP Scholar One system) -- February 1, 2022 - Reviewer Feedback completed -- April 1, 2022 - Final version submitted INFORMATION ABOUT JHP: The Journal of Humanistic Psychology (JHP) is an interdisciplinary forum for contributions, controversies and diverse statements pertaining to humanistic psychology. It addresses personal growth, interpersonal encounters, social problems and philosophical issues. An international journal of human potential, self-actualization, the search for meaning and social change, the Journal of Humanistic Psychology was founded by Abraham Maslow and Anthony Sutich in 1961. It is the official journal of the Association for Humanistic Psychology.
