CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Recently, machine learning, internet of thing (IoT), artificial
intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the key technologies to realize
e-health and m-health management in organizations (Agarwal et al., 2010;
Fichman et al. 2011; Haddad et al. 2019). Remarkably, the successful
utilization of mobile and ubiquitous computing technologies provides
acceptable, sustainable, and inexpensive ways for organizations to collect,
store, monitor, and process health-related data (WHO 2019). At the same
time, software and services such as online platform, mobile, and smartwatch
apps, and VR/AR emerged in this context allow organizations and users to
exploit and explore these masses of data and offer them immersive
interactions (Liu et al. 2019; Steinhubl 2013).
There is some early evidence shows that e-health and m-health, in isolation
and in combination, benefit organizations and users in an increasing
variety of aspects such as care provision, chronic disease management,
patient empowerment, information sharing across organizational boundaries
(e.g., Free et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2019). For instance, e-health and
m-health services powered with AI technologies have achieved primary
effects in combatting the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus (Time 2020).
However, the increase in e-health and m-health comes with increased
uncertainties and risks. How to make full use of e-health and m-health in
an efficient, economical, and privacy-preserving manner is still a
fundamental challenge for both academics and businesses. Therefore, we need
more advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual
understanding for e-health and m-health management (Chen et al. 2019; Liu
et al. 2019; Gefen et al. 2011; Hair et al. 2019; Shiau et al. 2019; Khan
et al. 2019; Shiau and Chau, 2016).
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this special issue is to present ideas, innovations, and
applications of utilizing e-health and m-health technologies for improving
the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of healthcare, and shed
light on how the value from e-health and m-health technologies can be
captured and amplified. We welcome submissions of original manuscripts that
advance methodological, empirical, theoretical, and conceptual
understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to the role of
e-health and m-health and how it can lead to value creation in areas such
as patient empowerment, elderly and chronic disease management, and
epidemics management. Manuscripts must have strong implications for theory
and practice.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Adoption, diffusion, and use of e-health and m-health
• Organizational, clinical, and financial implications of
e-health and m-health
• E-health and m-health and their impacts on lifestyle, diets,
and exercise habits
• E-health and m-health and patient empowerment
• E-health and m-health and epidemics management (e.g., COVID-19,
Ebola)
• Elderly healthcare and chronic disease management
• User-generated content and its impact on healthcare practices
and providers
• Safety, security, and privacy of e-health and m-health
• Mobile technology and patient-centered healthcare management
• Applications of big data, IoT, and AI in healthcare (e.g., to
combat the emerging COVID-19 coronavirus)

Subject: [AISWorld] Special Issue on Edge Computing Optimization Using
Artificial Intelligence Methods
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2020 09:21:46 +0000
From: Naercio Magaia <ndmagaia(a)fc.ul.pt>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on "Edge Computing Optimization Using Artificial
Intelligence Methods"
MDPI IoT Journal
Dear Colleagues,
The growing importance of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the
ubiquitous high capacity provided by 5G technologies have brought the
specter of massive quantities of data being generated and/or consumed by
sensors, actuators, and smart devices. Such massive amounts of data
require considerable processing power, which is available in the cloud.
However, cloud-based computation and data delivery models do not allow
the stringent quality of service (QoS) guarantees to be efficiently
harnessed. The latter is due to the number of hops of wired networks
between the data endpoints and the cloud, which leads to a significant
increase in latency, which may dramatically affect real-time control and
other critical systems. Moreover, forwarding all the data generated by
such devices directly to the cloud may devour the network bandwidth,
leading to congestion. Therefore, it is necessary that critical
processing to be hosted closer to the endpoint devices, i.e., closer to
the sources and sinks of the data so that data can be processed and
filtered out by the time it reaches the cloud. This can be achieved
through Edge Computing (EC).
Efficient, scalable, and QoS-aware placement of IoT data processing jobs
in EC resources is a complex optimization problem and, currently, an
active research topic. As new jobs are created, they have to be assigned
computational resources dynamically, matching job requirements with the
cost, reliability, location (and mobility), besides the current
availability of the resources. Less critical or demanding communication
jobs may be offloaded to the cloud. The use of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) methods to jointly tackle the problem of job placement
optimization, including jobs belonging to AI-based data analytics
software, constitute currently active research topics addressed by this
Special Issue.
For this Special Issue, original scientific articles are welcome on the
following as well as closely related topics:
- AI-based algorithms to optimize job placement in EC
- AI software architectures favoring distributed computing job placement
in EC resources (e.g., Distributed Deep Neural Network architectures)
- AI-based mechanisms supporting open EC markets leveraging the
participation of third-party computing resources opportunistically
(e.g., parked autonomous vehicles)
- AI-based methods to optimize mobile EC resources' placement (e.g., EC

Title: “Emerging Technologies and IS Sourcing” – paper development
workshop aiming at Special Issue of Journal of Information Technology
The workshop will start with a keynote about the impact of COVID-19 on
the sourcing marketplace, followed by the paper development session
(approx. 3 hours) run by the guest editors of the special issue: Julia
Kotlarsky, Ilan Oshri, Oliver Krancher and Rajiv Sabherwal.
If you are interested in participating in the paper development workshop
and obtaining feedback on your drafts, submit an extended abstract of
the paper that you are planning to develop for this special issue.
Please see below an extract from the CFP, and guidance on preparing an
extended abstract.
------
This special issue seeks to facilitate an empirical and theoretical
re-examination of “IS sourcing” in the light of the current wave of
emerging technologies.
Areas of interest to the special issue include but are not limited to:
§ Governance and control structures between client-supplier-advisory in
emerging technology settings;
§ Sourcing decision making in emerging technology settings;
§ Ecosystem and platforms in emerging technology sourcing settings;
§ Contract management in emerging technology sourcing settings;
§ Full data lifecycle in emerging technologies and its implications for
sourcing management;
§ Skills and capability development and retention in emerging technology
sourcing settings;
§ Implications for innovations within the client-supplier-advisory
eco-system;
§ Ethical and societal implications of such sourcing settings;
§ Impact of emerging technologies on client’s, supplier’s and advisory’s
strategies, business models and capabilities (e.g., has offshoring
slowed down/back sourcing accelerated? And what was the impact on
captive centers’ services).
§ Implications of “crowdsourcing”, big data, analytics as well as
machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence for the contemporary
IS outsourcing.
We invite research papers that investigate issues relating to emerging
technologies and IS sourcing. In particular, we take interest in issues
concerning robotic process automation, big data, machine/deep learning
and artificial intelligence and blockchain. Other technologies are less
of interest for this special issue (contact the special issue editors if
in doubt).
