-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): Second Call for Papers Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2021 12:38:46 +0200 From: George A. Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Second Call for Papers *** 8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): "Democratizing AI Development" July 6-8, 2021, Atlantica Miramare Beach Hotel 4*, Limassol, Cyprus http://cyprusconferences.org/iseud2021/ End-user development (EUD) aims at empowering end users to develop and adapt systems at a level of complexity that is adequate to their expertise, practices, and skills. EUD may occur along the entire software lifecycle, with the purpose of making users able to participate in their artifact development, not only at design time, but also during actual use. Originally, EUD was conceived as a more general concept than end-user programming; thus, scholars proposed methods, techniques and tools that allow end users to modify or extend software artifacts, such as spreadsheets, web applications, video games, and mobile applications. In the co-called Internet of Things era, end-user development moved on to address the problem of defining and modifying the behavior of smart environments, including smart objects, pervasive displays, smart homes, smart cities, and so on. Therefore, the term "end-user development" acquired a broader meaning covering approaches, frameworks and socio-technical environments that allow end users to express themselves in crafting digital artifacts that encompass both software and hardware technology. Recent research and technological trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cyber-Security, Robotics, and Industry 4.0, have contributed to renew the vision of end-user development, by providing tools and platforms that allow end users to harness the power of AI to create solutions involving Computer Vision, Image Processing, Conversational User Interfaces, as well as solutions for smart environments. Such developments lower the threshold for creating AI solutions, and expand the programmer base for such solutions, by extending AI application both for professional and discretionary use. IS-EUD is a bi-annual event for researchers and practitioners with an interdisciplinary approach to EUD, including: Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Human-Work Interaction Design, and related areas. IS-EUD 2021 Theme: Democratizing AI Development The 2021 edition of IS-EUD focuses on EUD for AI-based systems, where end users are called on to become end-user developers of intelligent agents, digital twins, collaborative and social robots. This edition would like to discuss the adoption of EUD in new fields, the proposal of novel EUD paradigms, and the impact of AI-based EUD in terms of user acceptability and appropriation. One of the most interesting topics in human-AI interaction is explainability of AI-based systems: research submissions presenting end- user oriented solutions to this problem will be particularly welcome. Theoretical and empirical work analyzing pros and cons of this new EUD wave, identifying requirements for end-user development of AI and acceptance of related solutions is invited. Software infrastructures and eco- systems supporting the reuse of solutions and the emergence of meta- design practices are of particular interest to this community, linking the challenges relating AI to topics central to the IS-EUD community. Conference Topics The conference welcomes contributions that: · describe new, simple and efficient environments for end-user development · describe new processes, methods and techniques for empowering users to create, modify and tailor digital artifacts · present case studies and design implications on challenges and practices of end-user development · develop theoretical concepts and foundations for the field of end-user development Specific topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: · User-oriented orchestration of AI-based devices · Conversational interfaces for end-user development · End-user development for big data visualization and exploration · End-user development for collaborative robotics · End-user development for social robotics · End-user development in Industry 4.0 · End-user development and explainable AI-based systems · Cybersecurity and end-user development · End-user development in daily life · Technologies and infrastructures for end-user development · Empirical studies of end-user development · Recommender systems to support end-user development · Cultures of participation and meta-design approaches · Technology acceptance and adoption studies of end-user development technologies · Evaluation of end-user development technologies · Supporting creative work through end-user development Submissions We invite two types of paper submissions: 1.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - IEEE COMPSAC 2021 - Extended to February 12, 2021 Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 16:55:34 +0000 From: Maria Valero de Clemente <mvalero2(a)kennesaw.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> COMPSAC 2021 INTELLIGENT & RESILIENT COMPUTING FOR A COLLABORATIVE WORLD https://ieeecompsac.computer.org/2021/ JULY 12-16, 2021 ***CALL FOR PAPERS*** MAIN CONFERENCE PAPER SUBMISSION DUE DATE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 12, 2021 Computers, Software and Applications. It is a major international forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss research results and advancements, emerging challenges, and future trends in computer and software technologies and applications. The theme of COMPSAC 2021 is “Intelligent and Resilient Computing for a Collaborative World”.The global COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how we work with each other on a regular basis. Limitations on in-person interactions have caused a dramatic increase in our use and reliance on collaborative technology to enable normal communication. Family and friends have conversations via video chat, students utilize online learning instead of in-person instruction, and medical professionals treat patients remotely. These are only a few examples of how interactive software and applications have provided the foundation for continued normal day-to-day activities. But as use of these tools has rapidly accelerated, some limitations and shortcomings have also been discovered. Many components support online collaborative services, including bare-metal hardware, massive back-end storage, and high-speed, high-throughput networking, as well as the software required to administer these components efficiently. In many cases, the resilience of these underpinnings has been tested by unprecedented levels of demand, stressing systems and exposing weaknesses. As computer researchers, we see these weaknesses as opportunities to fill gaps in how software and applications are developed, utilized, and supported. How to improve the resiliency of these components across a wide range of use domains is a significant challenge we suddenly find ourselves facing. How do we design systems that are able to withstand the stress of global-scale use, and still provide robust and secure services to end-users? For over 40 years, COMPSAC has been an outlet for researchers to share and discuss innovative and novel approaches to problems such as these, and we look forward to hearing your ideas in 2021! COMPSAC 2021, organized as a tightly integrated union of symposia, will focus on technical aspects of issues relevant to computers, software and applications, with an emphasis on topics related to improving collaboration with intelligence and resilience. The technical program will include keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case studies, fast abstracts, a doctoral symposium, poster sessions, and workshops and tutorials on emerging and important topics related to the conference theme. Highlights of the conference will include plenary and specialized panels that will address the technical challenges facing researchers and practitioners who are driving fundamental changes in intelligent systems and applications. Panels will also address cultural and societal challenges with respect to computing and collaboration raised by rapidly changing communication norms. ***SUBMISSION*** Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research work, as well as industrial practice reports. Simultaneous submission to other publication venues is not permitted except as highlighted in the COMPSAC 2021 J1C2 & C1J2 program.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers. Journal Sustainability. Special Issue "Smart Governance for Smart Cities, Rural Areas or Regions and Sustainable Development" Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 20:41:42 +0100 From: Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar <manuelp(a)ugr.es> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, Some societies have diﬀiculties achieving sustainable development. In this context, a transition to future sustainable cities necessarily involves the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies. Digital technologies should serve people and improve public services, especially in the governance and management of cities, rural areas, and regions. One of the main outcomes of smart governance should be to assist societies in developing eﬀective government and to implement sustainable development principles. Therefore, we invite papers that analyze the link between smart governance systems implemented in cities, rural areas or regions, and their sustainability. In any case, this Special Issue will put its attention on empirical papers, including case studies, comparative case studies (that involve diﬀerent countries, disciplines, or sustainability challenges), and surveys. Finally, empirical studies about smart governance in vertical or horizontal integrations of public organizations for achieving sustainable development goals will be welcome. In brief, I encourage you to contribute a research article for consideration for publication in this special issue to be published in Sustainability (JCR listed journal), an international Open Access journal which provides an advanced forum for research findings in areas related to sustainability and sustainable development.

Fwd: [WI] CfP The 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21)
by Gustaf Neumann 26 Jan '21

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP The 14th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’21) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 17:13:56 +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. 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. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted and will be assigned a 10-minute presentation. 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). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool report). Please use Easychair for submitting your paper: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2021 The paper selection will be based on the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion.

While following agile values, principles and methods in software development projects is well established, organizations across all industries increasingly try to harness agile’s potential in other areas. These areas include (1) scaling agile development to larger settings involving multiple teams and/or projects, (2) managing distributed organizational setups, (3) extending agile values, principles and methods to other functions in the enterprise beyond software development and IT, and (4) establishing inter-organizational setups for agility across business ecosystems which may include customers, partners or suppliers. These extensions lead to intensive organizational change activities with a high impact on potentially all organizational levels: individual, team, management and governance. For this mini-track, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, managerial and/ or individual challenges of extending the application of agile values, principles and methods beyond their original scope. We welcome conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/ <https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/> You can find the paper submission guidelines and template here: https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/ <https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/submissions/types-of-submissions/> Submission deadline: - March 1, 2021: Deadline for paper submissions (5pm EST) Minitrack Co-chairs: Bettina Horlach (horlach(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de) Andreas Drechsler (andreas.drechsler(a)vuw.ac.nz) Bettina Horlach Research Associate Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik IT-Management & -Consulting (ITMC) /Informationstechnikgestaltung und Genderperspektive (ITG) Vogt-Kölln-Str. 30 D-22527 Hamburg Telefon: +49 (40) 428 83-20 15 E-Mail: horlach(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de

The past decade has witnessed dramatic growth of SMA research and its application in different domains. Despite technological and theoretical relevance, the impact of SMA on organizational knowledge management is not entirely clear. Recent advances in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and network science present exciting opportunities to enrich SMA for organizational knowledge creation and management. Much research is needed to elevate the impact of SMA on organizations. This mini-track solicits innovative research papers on the development and application of social media analytics in organizational knowledge management (accepted papers will have the opportunity to be fast-tracked for publication in special issues of peer-reviewed journals under preparation). Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - Innovations of deep learning approaches in SMA for organizational KM - SM-based environment monitoring, social listening, and situational awareness - Innovative extraction of knowledge and intelligence from SM content using natural language processing in SMA - Analysis of SM networks for organizational knowledge creation - Intelligent summarization and visualization of SM content and usage - Time-aware SMA for organizational sensing and knowledge creation - Application of social and psychological theories to SMA development - Domain-specific use of SMA for organizational KM (e.g., finance, marketing, human resources, public administration, public health) Submission instructions: https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/submissions/submission-instructions/ Submission site: https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login (Make new submissions to “AIS," "AMCIS 2021" and “AMCIS2021 Papers”, and then select the track "Social Computing" and its mini-track "Social Media Analytics in Organizational Knowledge Management”) FAQ: https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/submissions/submission-frequently-aske… Call for Paper: https://is.wcu.edu/wchung/doc/CFP-SMAKM_AMCIS21.pdf Submission Deadline: March 1, 2021 Author Notification: April 16, 2021 Camera ready submission deadline: April 23, 2021 AMCIS Mini-Track Co-Chairs: Wingyan Chung, wingyan(a)acm.org Daniel Zeng, zeng(a)email.arizona.edu ************************************************** _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
