We cordially invite you to submit your paper to the 1st Workshop on Code
Quality and Security (CQS 2021) of the WorldCist'21 - 9th World
Conference on Information Systems and Technologies
(http://www.worldcist.org/index.php <http://www.worldcist.org/index.php>).
*Scope
* WorldCist'21 - 9th World Conference on Information Systems and
Technologies, to be held in Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal, 30-31
March to 1-2 April 2021,
is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and
discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and
concerns in the several perspectives of Information Systems and
Technologies.
The 1st Workshop on Code Quality and Security (CQS 2021) focus on the
emergent new paradigms, technologies and challenges for programming on
software development.
Being essencialy a manual process, and considring that there are
specific guidelines for software analysis, modelling, and even team
management, the code quality and security is ignored by most developers.
In this workshop we will deal with this problem in different ways,
intending to answer to the following questions:
1) Code Standards: how code should be written, what idioms to use, how
to comment and how to document code. What standards are available, and
what tools can be used to perform validation?
2) Code Security: the different aspects a developer needs to take
attention to when developing an application in order to make it secure.
What tools are available to check for possible implementation flaws?
3) Code Quality: how to guarantee the software does what it is intended
to? How to test software? What test frameworks and approaches are available?
4) Code Certification: what different types of certification is
available for applications? What means to certify an application? What
levels of certification are available? What applications can be used in
a particular domain, for instance, in Health industry?
5) Code organization: how to structure code? modules, libraries,
components? How to deploy? How to maintain code? Containers and dockers
6) Coding strategies: strategies to cooperate in programming, in
contexts of physical distance requirement? freelancers quality
monitoring? management of the quality of the project?
*Topics of interest:*
· Code generation and automation development tools
· Code quality assessment, static and dynamic code analysis
· Techniques for code quality: unit testing, test-based
development, feature driven development.
· Code standards and legibility metrics
· Code security and security assessment tools
· Certification, and tools to support certificated-software
development.
· Code quality in DevOps
· Code reviews and analytics for Web

Call for Papers: 2020 HITS- Health Information Technology Symposium
(Formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop)
An AIS SIG-Health Sponsored Workshop
December 15, 2020, Online
HITS (formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop) is a pre-conference
activity of the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)
hosted by the Special Interest Group Health IT (SIGHEALTH). It provides
a forum for those working on information technology in the context of
healthcare. We welcome both research-in-progress and completed work on a
broad range of topics and methodologies. Authors do not have to be
SIG-Health members to participate. Please note that papers do not need
to be specific to the conference theme. Any paper on health IT is
acceptable.
The papers will not be included in conference proceedings and so authors
retain all copyrights to their work. However, accepted papers will be
listed with author names, affiliations and title on the AIS SIG-Health
website. Authors will have the option to include their final extended
abstract on the website as well.
The workshop is typically restricted to 40 participants and will include
presentations and round-table discussions. All submitted work will be
reviewed by the co-chairs and other workshop authors. All accepted
papers will then be presented and discussed during round-table
discussions to provide authors with help, feedback, suggestions, and to
facilitate future collaborations. We will have 3-5 authors per table to
facilitate discussion.
The paper with highest review scores may be presented to all workshop
attendees. The interactive format of the workshop is geared towards
providing a high degree of feedback to authors with promising
early-stage work, but is certainly open to developed and completed
research as well.
Workshop Registration Fees: TBD
Submission Instructions
We will request extended abstracts for presentation at the workshop.
Papers must be in English, and need to contain original research.
Submit your work at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hits2020.

Please note the extended abstract format of this workshop. Manuscripts
which fail to comply with the formatting requirements will likely be
rejected. Do not send full length papers. This workshop is designed to
given authors of papers at many stages of development timely feedback,
therefore authors need to adhere to the format guidelines to facilitate
a timely review process.
Also note: 1) By submitting, the author team agrees to perform two
reviews of other abstracts submitted to the workshop and we have a quick
. This is done to ensure each manuscript gets at minimum two reviews. 2)
we do not hold copyright, but we do produce an informal proceedings to
facilitate discussion at the workshop.

produce challenges and barriers that the academic community cannot
ignore. This track concentrates not only on the opportunities that
digitization creates, but also on deciphering how the information
systems community can aid in tackling these challenges and barriers.
Moreover, the goal of this track is to raise awareness and generate
scholarly debate about the opportunities and challenges for fostering
digital inclusion in our increasingly interconnected world. Diversity,
equity, and inclusion are not only essential to achieve fairness in
society and assimilate communities, they also drive the proliferation of
skillsets fundamental to the realization of a truly digital society in
the foreseeable future. Although the role digital technology plays in
society has received attention in the past couple of years, research in
this area is still rather fragmented. We do not yet have a coherent body
of literature that theorizes about the consequences of digital
technology on individuals, communities, and the broader society.
This track closely aligns with the conference theme, Human Values Crisis
in a Digitizing World, in its aspiration for a more just society, in
which digital technologies constitute an integral component. This track
also considers topics touching on the intersections between age,
culture, disabilities, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, and
how they relate to education, industries, and society in general.
We welcome submissions – either as full research papers or research in
progress – that analyse the equalizing role digital technologies play in
different aspects of contemporary life. Submissions could include theory
development, literature reviews, or practical teaching cases from
various research traditions, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed
methods, or design science.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Opportunities and challenges of digitizing of education, industries,
and society
* Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, industries, and society
* Ethics of digitization of education, industries, and society
* Digital transformation and the future of work
* Digital and social inclusion in the digital era
* Online learning platforms for digital inclusion
* Digital inclusion of marginalized groups
* Inclusion/exclusion dichotomy of social media
* Political freedoms in the digital space
* Humane computing
* Policy and regulations for promoting inclusiveness
* Bridging diversity or inclusivity gap through digital technologies

DESCRIPTION
In the digital age, innovative technologies influence and change
established work processes, products, services, and business models by
connecting individuals, organizations, machines, and other ‘things’ in
new ways, as well as by enabling novel working, collaboration, and
automation models (Fitzgerald et al. 2014). To succeed in this highly
competitive and dynamic environment, organizations must unfold the
potential of advanced digital technologies in their business strategies,
transform their work routines, processes and structures, rethink their
business models, as well as manage and govern IT infrastructures that
are central to their value propositions (Legner et al. 2017). In short,
pervasive digitalization has increased the importance of information
technology (IT) and transformed the demands placed on organizations in
general, and IT functions in particular. Besides ensuring regular IT
operations, IT functions are increasingly required to proactively
identify technological innovations and to rapidly transfer them into
marketable solutions – and with that to directly contribute to their
organization’s value proposition (Urbach et al. 2017).
In this context, IS strategizing and governance represent key activities
for the effective deployment of IT resources and ultimately for value
creation through IT. The emergence of new digital technologies (e.g.,
artificial intelligence [AI], big-data analytics, blockchain, cloud
computing) and infrastructures (e.g., digital platforms and ecosystems),
novel value-creation processes and work practices (e.g., IT
consumerization, human-robot collaboration, resource sharing) along with
the availability of unprecedented data volumes challenge existing
conceptualizations and theories related to IS strategy and governance
(Markus 2017; Newell & Marabelli 2015). For instance, while cloud
services may make the IT artefact seemingly disappear, the challenge of
governing the design and use of such services and associated IT
resources has become even more acute (Schneider & Sunyaev 2016). Digital
business models and gig economy platforms that revolve around resource
sharing and/or complex product-service offerings not only challenge
organizational boundaries, but also established ideas about ownership of
resources, tasks, and outputs (Schor 2014). Similarly, while AI-based
algorithms can automate business processes, they also highlight the need
for data and process governance (Tarafdar et al. 2017). At the same
time, in organizations where more ‘traditional’ technologies and work
arrangements are still dominant, IS strategy and governance challenges
remain highly complex and important (Wiener et al. 2016).
The objectives of the proposed track are two-fold. First, from a
scholarly research perspective, the objective is to foster and promote
novel concepts and theories on IS strategy and governance, with a
particular focus on the manifold opportunities and challenges associated
with the pervasive digitalization of business and society. Second, the
track aims at offering insights that enable IS practitioners to leverage
emerging digital technologies, to respond to digitalization challenges,
and ultimately, to make effective use of available IT resources.
The track is open to all types of contributions—including research in
progress—studying IS strategy and governance topics from different
stakeholder perspectives, in different contexts and settings (e.g.,
for-profits and non-profits), at different levels of analysis (e.g.,
individual, project, program, organizational, network, ecosystem, and
societal level), and with different theoretical perspectives and
methodological approaches (e.g., conceptual, design-oriented, and
empirical studies). We particularly welcome studies that address the
conference theme “Human Values Crisis in a Digitizing World” by
discussing and expanding our understanding of how digital technologies
(e.g., those used for control or governance purposes) and human values
influence each other and sometimes conflict, whether at the individual,
the organizational and/or the societal level.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Digital strategizing and strategy implementation (e.g., link to
overall business strategy, development of digital capabilities,
sustainability of digital strategies, translation of strategic
objectives into governance practices and structures)
• Strategic impact of emerging digital technologies (e.g., artificial
intelligence, blockchain, big-data analytics, cloud computing) on
business models, governance structures, and processes, etc.
• Governance of digital transformation and innovation processes (e.g.,
new governance models for complex organizations, such as companies
operating with coexisting ‘brick and mortar’ and digital business models)
• Changing role of CIO function & New role of CDO function (e.g.,
‘digital race’ between CIO and CDO, structure and nature of business-IT
relationships)
• Data-driven leadership and control approaches (e.g., algorithmic
management of work processes, technology-mediated control)
• Governance of digital value-creation processes and networks (e.g.,
digital platforms and ecosystems, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical
systems, IT consumerization, IT-enabled product-service systems,
resource sharing, etc.)
• Governance of novel work practices (e.g., agile software development,
human-robot interaction and collaboration) and sourcing models (e.g.,
crowdsourcing, multi-sourcing, open-sourcing, and back-sourcing)
• Information security governance (e.g., cybersecurity frameworks,
standards, and policies for critical infrastructures)
• Dark side of digital strategies/governance, including ethical issues
as well as undesired ecological, economic, and socio-emotional
side-effects (e.g., technostress)
• Critical reflections on IS strategy and governance in the digital age
(e.g., truly ‘new’ features and challenges of digitalization, links to
traditional research streams)
• Novel theoretical perspectives and research approaches that broaden,
or challenge, our understanding of IS strategy and governance in the
digital age

DESCRIPTION
Digitization currently changes the business world as well as the society
as whole. In this regard knowledge is still important or becomes even
more important. Especially, due to shorter product life cycles the
half-life period of knowledge declines. This is a challenge for
organizations as well as for the individual and generates new
requirements to knowledge management (KM). Additional powerful digital
technologies such as cheap sensors generating big amounts of data and
advanced data analytic approaches for knowledge discovery have led to
substantial changes in knowledge sharing practices.
This track raises the questions whether and how digitization in general
change the socio-technical aspects related to managing organizational
knowledge. To reach new horizons, with respect to digitization, the
question is how advanced data analytic approaches and AI can support
knowledge creation and especially help to externalize implicit
knowledge. Further, data-driven technologies seem promising in context
detection and, thus, in the delivery of suitable training artefacts and
in connecting people.
We welcome both full research papers and research-in-progress papers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
> Requirements of digitization towards KM
> Knowledge risks arising along digital supply chains
> Social and behavioural issues in the context of KM and digitization
> KM and technology enhanced learning
> AI for technology-mediated social collaboration
> Knowledge life cycle and data-driven decision support
> Cross-organizational, cross-border and cross-cultural KM in digitized
worlds
> AI to capture and share knowledge in social networks and distributed
contexts
> Support for mature KM solutions: KM governance, KM strategies, KM
maturity models, and KM performance
> System design for new generation KM systems
