Guha, M. Mukerji* https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v25i0.3029 Recently, India has seen high economic growth with an increased availability and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). However, ICT penetration in India is much less when compared to global averages. There exists a substantive level of inequality in ICT access and use. Empirical studies on digital divide in India are few, especially those with a theoretical demand-supply framework, using consistent and reliable pan data. This paper examines the digital divide in India across socio-economic classes and different political-geographic regions. The demand equations for two ICT instruments – Internet and mobile phone - are estimated for households aggregated at subnational level. An econometric model identifies demand and supply side factors shaping differential access by households. Findings indicate the digital divide is a reflection of the existing socio-economic divide. On the demand side, socio-economic inequality manifests in the economic conditions of households, social category, occupational profile, age and education status are key determinants of district level digital divide. Supply side factors: availability of electricity, mobile network and extent of urbanization also play an important role. #DigitalDivide #KeyDeterminants #Econometrics #India #Census -- Professor Karlheinz Kautz Editor-in-Chief Australasian Journal of Information Systems http://journal.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/index -- The AJIS provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [LCN 2021][Call for Demos] 46th annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (Demo Session) Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 16:49:21 +0200 From: publicity(a)ieeelcn.org To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ======================================= Call for Demos The 46th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2020) ======================================= October 4-7, 2021 http://www.ieeelcn.org IMPORTANT: After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, the decision has been made to hold this year's LCN in a fully virtual conference. The conference dates remain the same. Presentations of demos will be organized in a way that is convenient for the various time zones. Consider a virtual demo as an opportunity to showcase your work in a way that was not possible in physical meetings or would have required to travel with a lot of gear. We will do our best to accommodate demo author needs to present and discuss the demo virtually. ## Scope IEEE LCN 2021 will feature a demo session with the aim of providing demonstrations that validate important research issues and/or show innovative prototypes. Authors are invited to submit technical demonstrations (no more than 3 pages) showing innovative and original research. The authors are encouraged to highlight the research component of the demo and explicitly mention the novelty of the showcased technology/ solution. The proposal should include one page that describes what conference participants will be able to see or experience during the demonstration. IEEE LCN is looking for demonstrations in all topics covered by the main conference and/or the symposium held in conjunction with LCN 2021. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. ## Demo Submission Proposals (no more than 3 pages) must be submitted via EDAS to the LCN Demo Track: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c(077&track7632 Demonstrations will be selected based on their merits and expected interest from the LCN audience. All demo proposals will be reviewed by the members of the Demo Board via an EDAS score sheet. The scores will be provided to the authors along with the notification. ## Virtual Demo Presentation Demo presentations will be organised as parallel dedicated virtual rooms for each demo similar to a face-to-face demo session. Demo presenters will have the opportunity to perform live demos while also answering questions from the audience. In addition, authors of accepted demos will also be asked to record a video to best showcase the demo which will be available for attendees during the conference. * A best demo award will be awarded to the demo with the most votes from the audience. ## Important Dates Demo Submission: Aug 16, 2021 Demo Acceptance: Sep 6, 2021 Demo Camera Ready: Sep 20, 2021 ## Registration for Demos For conference registration, a demo is not regarded as a paper, i.e., * demo presenters with no accepted conference or symposium papers must select "non-author registration" when registering for the conference * demo presenters with accepted LCN or symposium papers incur no extra charge for a demo. The conference registration will cover their demo. Please feel free to contact the demo chair if you have any questions regarding the demo content or setup.

Fwd: [AISWorld] [KaRS 2021] Third CfP: 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2021 @ ACM RecSys
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Jun '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [KaRS 2021] Third CfP: 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2021 @ ACM RecSys Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:21:53 +0000 From: Vito Walter Anelli <vitowalter.anelli(a)poliba.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS 2021) https://kars-workshop.github.io/2021/ http://sisinflab.poliba.it/kars/2021/ Sep. 27th - Oct. 1st, 2021, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Submission deadline: July 29th, 2021, 2021 AoE [SCOPE] We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2021) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September the 27th to October the 1st, 2021. In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community on conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they are still at an early stage on offering recommendation capabilities by using the conversational paradigm. In addition, we have been witnessing the advent of more and more precise and powerful recommendation algorithms and techniques able to effectively assess users' tastes and predict information that would probably be of interest to them. Most of these approaches rely on the collaborative paradigm (often exploiting machine learning techniques) and do not take into account the huge amount of knowledge, both structured and non-structured ones, describing the domain of interest of the recommendation engine. Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The 3rd Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), and Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this third edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge-bases and knowledge-graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user's feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo Papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Moreover, following the RecSys 2021 guidelines, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Shorter papers should generally report on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely. Longer papers should reflect substantial contributions of lasting value. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kars2021 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: July 29th, 2021 * Paper acceptance notification: August 21st, 2021 * Camera-ready deadline: August 28th, 2021 * Workshop day: Sep 27th - Oct 1st, 2021 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

More specifically CAOS investigates how key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) can be found across language, psychology and reasoning and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. It moreover seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems in general. We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesized building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, categories, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention, language acquisition and categorisation), as well as system demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Modelling cognitive phenomena: * Language acquisition * Formalisation / modelling of language * Embodied cognition * Concept invention * AI for language understanding * Image schemas / affordances for AI * Knowledge acquisition in AI and Robotics * Natural language applications / system-demonstrations Epistemological and cognitive foundation of ontologies: * Cognitive foundations of ontologies and ontologies of cognitive theories (e.g. connection with conceptual spaces, diagrammatic representations, mental models, prototypes, image schemas, scripts etc.). * Empirical foundations of ontologies: ontologies driven from observations, measurements, tests, and in general from data acquired using empirical procedures. * Representation of different perspectives on the same domain: contexts, granularity, resolution, ontological levels. * Quantitative approaches/analyses, probabilities, uncertainty, and ontologies. * Neural networks and ontological modelling. * Integration of ontologies with different formats and levels of representation (e.g. neural-symbolic integration). * Inductive reasoning in ontologies. * Ontological Extensions of Cognitive Architectures. We welcome researchers from all career stages to participate. Work in progress (short papers) are also welcome since a central goal of the workshop is the discussion of ongoing interdisciplinary work. All papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal. Note, that for inclusion in the JOWO proceedings, short and position papers are required to be at least 5 pages long. All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and the review process will be managed in a collaborative and transparent manner using the EasyChair System as part of the JOWO organisation. Submissions Submission deadline: July 3, 2021 Submission link:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2021 (select the track “Cognition And OntologieS”) *Details and instructions: * We encourage three types of contributions: Full research paper: Submitted papers must not exceed 14 pages (excluding the bibliography). Please note that the minimum length is 10 pages. Short paper: Submitted papers must not exceed 7 pages (excluding the bibliography). Please note that the minimum length is 5 pages. *Abstracts for presentation:* 2-4 page abstracts for presentation. Note that these will _*not*_ be included in the proceedings. Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format in compliance with the new 1-column CEUR-ART Style. Word and Latex templates can be found at https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-styl… All contributions to JOWO workshops will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, compare: JOWO 2020: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2708/ JOWO 2019: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2518/ JOWO 2018: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2205/ Workshop policy CAOS 2021 is planned as a hybrid event. Hence, there will be a physical meeting in Bolzano which hopefully most will be able to join. However, given the uncertainty about travel in September, we will make arrangements for remote participation. If the physical meeting cannot be held due to social restrictions, the workshop will go fully virtual. Organisation Maria M. Hedblom <http://www.mariamhedblom.com/>: University of Bremen, Germany.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP-EAIoT- with updated deadlines Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2021 09:21:05 +0200 From: Ejub Kajan <dr.ejubkajan(a)gmail.com> To: agents(a)cs.umbc.edu, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, SOCNET(a)lists.ufl.edu First International Workshop on Latest Advances in Enterprise Architectures in the IoT Era (EAIoT’2021) http://eaiot2021.connect.rs In conjunction with IEEE EDOC’21 http://ieee-edoc.org/2021/ Gold Coast, Australia, October 25, 2021 CALL FOR PAPERS Internet of Things (IoT), one of the fastest growing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), is impacting organizations from all perspectives (e.g., operational, legal, financial, and competitiveness) forcing them to review their functional and non-functional practices. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), ``IoT spending will increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2017 to 2022, reaching $1.2 trillion within the next four years. It is also predicted 41 billion IoT devices by 2027 and 70% of automobiles will be connected to the Internet by 2023. To tap into the endless benefits and uses of IoT, the design principles and foundations of organizations’ enterprise architectures are expected to adjust to ensure a smooth integration of IoT into these architectures’ foundations namely organization, business, information, application, and technology. Aiming at examining these foundations separately and then collectively, this workshop is an open forum for discussions between academics and industry partners about the latest advances and developments in the dynamic field of enterprise architecture in the IoT era. The workshop addresses the lack of techniques and guidelines that would enable enterprises to integrate IoT into the life cycle of designing, developing, and deploying enterprise architectures. This integration should lead to a new generation of enterprise architectures that would foster not only a deeper retrospect on the involved interactive digital resources inside the life cycle covering data collection, information analysis, knowledge reasoning and wisdom strategies, but also a better understanding of potential threats as well as the development of new ways of aligning business and ICT resources together to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise in the background of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend. Whilst, on the one hand, IoT enacts many opportunities that enterprises could tap into, there are also obstacles that could undermine these opportunities, on the other hand. Some of these obstacles are lack of standards that cover both enterprise architecture and IoT, security holes that potentially exist in IoT devices making them questionable in terms of trust, security, and privacy, IoT limitations like silo restriction, computational capabilities, lack of semantic technologies that should describe IoT in a machine-understandable manner, just to mention some. Topics of Interest This workshop constitutes an opportunity for researchers from both disciplines enterprise computing (with focus on enterprise architecture) and IoT technologies to discuss how enterprises could capitalize on these technologies so, that, a new generation of business processes could spread over the emergent network of IoT. Topics for discussions include, but are not limited to: * Standards for IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Enterprise architecture for Industry 4.0. * Data science for IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Semantic technologies for IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Agentification of IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Interoperability inside and between IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Guidelines and best practices for IoT-based enterprise architecture * Privacy, trust, and security of IoT-based enterprise architecture. * Context management and awareness for IoT-based enterprise architecture * Case studies related to IoT-based enterprise architecture.
