Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21)
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21) Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 17:03:02 +0000 From: Rainer Schmidt <Rainer.Schmidt(a)live.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21) As part of BPM 2021 19th International Conference on Business Process Management September 6, 2021, Rome, Italy Call for Papers Deadline for workshop paper submissions: May 24, 2021 Workshop Theme The involvement of human aspects into Business Process Management takes place both on a social and individual level. Social information systems 1 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. The integration of 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. The integration of 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 therefore called two- or multi-sided markets2. 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., the 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, to speed up decisions, etc. Social information systems enable value-creating interactions such as weak ties, social production, 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. The use of value-creating interactions is tightly intertwined with new forms of involvement of human beings into 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. Digital assistants such as Alex integrate individuals in processes that could not interact with conventional computers. In this way, new forms of interaction between processes and humans arise. Furthermore, individuals must integrate the 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. 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/non predictable; production/collaborative/ad hoc) - Use of Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes - 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 individuals acting in business processes - Digital Assistants such as Google, Siri etc. in business process management and business processes - Human aspects of business process management - 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 BPMS2’21 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 successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20-minute presentation.

The workshop is designed to provide authors with (1) feedback from MISQ Senior Editors and Associate Editors on potential submissions to MISQ, as well as; (2) the opportunity to discuss with editors and other authors on how to develop papers for submission and resubmission to MISQ or elsewhere. The workshop has traditionally been offered in a face-to-face format alongside major IS conferences. Due to the disruptions to face-to-face conferences caused by the pandemic, MISQ will offer the workshop in a virtual format. The workshop will be offered in two time slots to accommodate for time differences: 1. Saturday [June 19th, 2021], 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Central European Time) / 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (China Standard Time) (this timeframe is likely to work for AIS Regions 2 & 3) 2. Saturday [June 26th, 2021], 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) (this timeframe is likely to work for AIS Region 1) Each of the workshop time slots has a limited capacity of 30 authors. The workshop will include: 1. Roundtable discussion led by editors on authors' submissions to the workshop. 2. Editors' panel discussion on developing papers for initial submission to MISQ. 3. Editors' panel discussion on revising papers for MISQ.

Society 5.0 can be defined as a human-centered society that balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system that highly integrates cyberspace (virtual space) and physical (real) space. The aim of Society 5.0 is to create a society where social challenges are resolved by incorporating the innovations of the fourth industrial revolution (e.g. Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial intelligence, and the sharing economy) into industry and social life. The term originated in Japan from the government's Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation and it tackles any aspect of society like healthcare, mobility, infrastructure, politics, government, economy and industry. Society 5.0 also involves the enormous opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Problems such as climate change, migration and resource consumption must be solved jointly and globally. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as poverty and education require international efforts. Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic can have an important impact on dealing with global challenges and crisis situations. Technological advancements and trends for digital transformation should assist us to address these global problems. Convergence of cyberspace and physical space can foster new forms of global cooperation. People, things, and systems are all connected in cyberspace. Results obtained by AI can exceed the capabilities of humans and are fed back to physical space. The conference Society 5.0 is going to deal with the entire range of these opportunities and challenges and show solutions. For a list of topics please refer to the website https://www.conference-society5.org/call-for-papers<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.confe…> All submissions will be double blind peer-reviewed by an international programme committee, and accepted papers will be published in a volume of Springer CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.spri…>) series (final approval pending).

The mission of ACSOS is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry practitioners to address these challenges to make resources, applications, and systems more autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organizing. ACSOS provides a venue to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The conference program will include technical research papers, in-practice experience reports, vision papers, posters, demos, and a doctoral symposium. ACSOS is now seeking proposals for tutorials of broad interest about tools that are often used by the scientific community in the topics of the ACSOS conference. The most popular tutorials tend to focus on emerging technology and its application to self-adaptive systems areas - example technologies might include FPGAs and their toolchains; robotics control systems such as ROS; popular machine learning toolkits; or multi-agent systems experimentation tools. Within these technologies, a tutorial should have a clear focus on an ACSOS topic such as: - Autonomic and Self-* system properties, theory, engineering, and practice - Data-driven management - Mechanisms and principles for self-organisation and self-adaptation - Socio-technical self-* systems - Autonomic and self-* concepts applied to hardware systems - Convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and Internet of Things - Self-adaptive cybersecurity - Cross disciplinary research *************************************************** ************** Tutorial Proposals *************** *************************************************** Proposals for tutorials should be organized as a preliminary call for participation with a maximum of two pages and contain the following information: - Title of the tutorial. - A brief technical description of the tutorial, specifying the tutorial goals, the technical issues that it will address, and the relevance of the tutorial to the main conference.

We are still figuring out all the details, which we hope to announce bit by bit during the next couple of months. Stay tuned for further updates. ========= ABSTRACT ========= Adaptive and personalized systems have become pervasive technologies which are gradually playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Indeed, we are now used to interact every day with algorithms that help us in several scenarios, ranging from services that suggest us music to be listened to or movies to be watched, to personal assistants able to proactively support us in complex decision-making tasks. As the importance of such technologies in our everyday lives grows, it is fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide these algorithms are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the users’ right to explanation when people face machine learning-based (or more in general - artificial intelligence-based) systems. Unfortunately, the current research tends to go in the opposite direction, since most of the approaches try to maximize the effectiveness of the personalization strategy (e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the expense of the explainability and the transparency of the model. The main research questions which arise from this scenario is simple and straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need for effective adaptive systems and the right to transparency and interpretability? Several research lines are triggered by this question: building scrutable user models and transparent al-gorithms, analyzing the impact of opaque algorithms on final users, studying the role of explanation strategies, investigating how to provide users with more control in the personalization and adaptation problems. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing such problems, challenges and innovative re-search approaches in the area, by investigating the role of transparency and explainability on the re-cent methodologies for building user models or for developing personalized and adaptive systems. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interests include but are not limited to: - TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE PERSONALIZATION STRATEGIES - Scrutable User Models - Transparent User Profiling and Personal Data Extraction - Explainable Personalization and Adaptation Methodologies - Novel strategies (e.g., conversational recommender systems) for building transparent algorithms - DESIGNING EXPLANATION ALGORITHMS - Explanation algorithms based on item description and item properties - Explanation algorithms based on user-generated content (e.g., reviews) - Explanation algorithms based on collaborative information - Building explanation algorithms for opaque personalization techniques (e.g., neural networks, matrix factorization) - DESIGNING TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER INTERFACES - Transparent User Interfaces - Designing Transparent Interaction methodologies - Novel paradigms (e.g. chatbots) for building transparent models - EVALUATING TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLAINABILITY - Evaluating Transparency in interaction or personalization - Evaluating Explainability of the algorithms - Designing User Studies for evaluating transparency and explainability - Novel metrics and experimental protocols - OPEN ISSUES IN TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER MODELS AND PERSONALIZED SYSTEMS - Ethical issues (Fairness and Biases) in User Models and Personalized Systems - Privacy management of Personal and Social data - Discussing Recent Regulations (GDPR) and future directions ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of original contributions, investigating novel methodologies to exploit heterogeneous personal data and approach to build transparent and scrutable user models.
