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 withthe entire range of these opportunities and challenges and show solutions. The conference serieswill kick off with a *virtual forum on 22^nd -24^th June 2021*. In 2022 the Society 5.0 conference will take place in Switzerland. *Important Dates* * Submission deadline: 14th March 2021 * Notification of authors: 1st of May 2021 * Camera-ready: 15th of May 2021 * Virtual forum: 22^nd to 24^th of June 2021 For more details about topics and submission details see https://www.conference-society5.org/call-for-papers <https://www.conference-society5.org/call-for-papers> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland School of Business - Intelligent Information Systems <https://www.fhnw.ch/de/die-fhnw/hochschulen/hsw/iwi/intelligent-information…> *Prof. Dr. Knut Hinkelmann *Riggenbachstrasse 16 4600 Olten, Switzerland ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T +41 62 957 23 01 M +41 78 896 84 24 knut.hinkelmann(a)fhnw.ch <mailto:knut.hinkelmann@fhnw.ch> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: knut.hinkelmann.ch <http://knut.hinkelmann.ch/index-e.php> /Innovation comes only from readily and seamlessly sharing information rather than hoarding it. //(Tom Peters)/ -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

The track is designed to provide a forum to discuss recent research on topics related to KR that may not be immediately familiar or easily accessible to the KR community. The track seeks papers that fall into one or both of the following two categories: 1) Papers that -- bridge KR to other areas of AI, computer science, or to other disciplines for which an interface with KR exists (this includes database theory, game theory, social choice, logic and philosophy, etc.); -- bridge KR to areas that make use of KR, such as multi-agent systems, planning, natural language understanding, machine learning, explainable AI; or -- go beyond the commonly-understood boundaries of KR. 2) Papers that are tightly related to KR and -- have been published in journals but have not been presented at workshops or conferences; -- have been presented at conferences that are not typically attended by the KR community; or -- have been accepted at general high-profile AI conferences such as IJCAI, ECAI, or AAAI, where the time allotted has not allowed for full discussion of all key aspects of the paper. Submitted papers need only be of interest to a subcommunity in KR (like DL, argumentation, NMR, etc.). However, they need to be made friendly to a KR audience. Submission materials: — A cover page (single page) listing the title, the authors, a complete reference to the original paper, and a public or privately accessible url from which the paper can be downloaded. A list of keywords is also expected. Finally, the cover page must contain a statement that the work the submission is based on has not been already presented to a KR audience in a major forum. — A one-page (preferred) and no more than two-page extended abstract of the paper following the format for regular paper KR 2021 submissions. The abstract should present the main contributions of the paper, discuss the relevance of the paper to KR, and explain the significance of the results. — A single pdf file with the materials should be submitted to the KR submission site at EasyChair. The authors should mark the submission as Recently Published Research. Submissions must meet the following criteria: a. Candidate papers must have been published in a journal or a conference proceedings in 2019 or later. b. Papers that are in press may be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version is available. c. Extensions of papers that have been previously presented at a KR conference are not eligible for this track. Extended abstracts of the accepted papers will be linked from the conference website. Authors of accepted papers will present their work at the KR conference, focussing on its significance and relevance to KR. Significant time will be allocated for discussion of the interdisciplinary aspects of the work and its potential impact on future research opportunities for KR. Due to the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic, we understand that not all authors may be able to attend the KR 2021 physically, so we commit to allowing authors to give their talks and participate remotely.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP The 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21) Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2021 18:11:51 +0100 From: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu Reply-To: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu 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.

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.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Impact of Social Media on Social Cohesion Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 17:26:12 +0100 From: Stefan Stieglitz <stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-due.de> Reply-To: Stefan Stieglitz <stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-due.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to submit your research to the issue "Impact of Social Media on Social Cohesion" in the journal /Media and Communication/. Please find the Call for Paper below. Kind regards Stefan Stieglitz ---- *Call for Papers: Media and Communication* *Volume 10, Issue 2* *Title*: Impact of Social Media on Social Cohesion *Editor(s): * Stefan Stieglitz (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany), stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-due.de <mailto:stefan.stieglitz@uni-due.de> Björn Ross (University of Edinburgh, Scotland), b.ross(a)ed.ac.uk <mailto:b.ross@ed.ac.uk> *Notification of Intention to Submit: *24 February 2021 *Submission of Abstracts: *1-15 June 2021 *Submission of Full Papers: *15-30 October 2021 *Publication of the Issue: *April/June 2022 Link: https://www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcommunication/pages/view/nextissues#… <https://www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcommunication/pages/view/nextissues#…> *Information: * In the 21st century, social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and WhatsApp are used by the majority of the population in many countries. Social media enables users to create and share content and to participate in social networking. Mass media have also entered the digital age and play an active role on social media. Within seconds, any content can be circulated among thousands of people. Due to the large amount of information and the variety of data sources, it has become increasingly difficult for citizens to decide about the trustworthiness of social media content. In times of global crises such as the Coronavirus pandemic, climate change, or financial crises, societies are in danger of losing stability and social cohesion. The rise of fake accounts, misinformation, social bots, and hidden attempts of manipulation pose additional challenges for democratic societies. On the other hand, social media can help to foster communication among citizens and reinforce shared feelings of identity (e.g., in Europe). It can also enable citizens to communicate across borders and strengthen shared ideologies. For this thematic issue, we seek articles that contribute to this active area of research. Examples of topics include: * Social media as an enabler of, or barrier to, social cohesion; * Transnational social movements on social media; * Cross-border communication on social media; * Participation and representation of minorities in social media—inclusiveness of social media; * Social media as a contributor to social equality or inequality; * Impact of social media misinformation and disinformation on social cohesion; * Impact of hate and abusive speech (e.g., misogyny, racism) on social cohesion; * Crisis communication in social media. *Instructions for Authors*: Authors interested in submitting a paper for this issue are asked to consult the journal's instructions for authors and submit their abstracts (maximum of 250 words, with a tentative title) through the abstracts system (here <https://www.cogitatiopress.com/abstracts>) by 15 June 2021. When submitting their abstracts, authors are also asked to confirm that they are aware that Media and Communication is an open access journal with a publishing fee if the article is accepted for publication after peer-review (corresponding authors affiliated with our institutional members do not incur this fee). Although this is not a mandatory requirement for submission, we request that authors who intend to submit a paper please notify the special issue editors by email no later than 24 February 2021 to assist us in planning the issue (stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-due.de <mailto:stefan.stieglitz@uni-due.de>, b.ross(a)ed.ac.uk <mailto:b.ross@ed.ac.uk>). *Open Access:* The journal has an article publication fee to cover its costs and guarantee that the article can be accessed free of charge by any reader, anywhere in the world, regardless of affiliation. We defend that authors should not have to personally pay this fee and advise them to check with their institutions if funds are available to cover open access publication fees. Institutions can also join Cogitatio's Membership Program at a very affordable rate and enable all affiliated authors to publish without incurring any fees.
