Abstract: 30 November 2020 (optional)
Manuscript: 31 January 2021
KEYWORDS
Human-Robot Interaction, Social Robotics, Creativity, Creative Robotics
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
ABOUT THIS RESEARCH TOPIC
Creativity has now emerged at the front line of research in the
interdisciplinary field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The goal of this
Research Topic is to present this research in a single collection. There
are many important lines of investigation within creativity and robotics.
Some include designing and developing robots that can integrate and
facilitate creativity in humans, solve problems creatively, provide “out of
the box” ideas, act curiously, be intrinsically motivated, make sense of
and integrate different stimuli, and extend the human potential by
achieving tasks that neither the robot nor the human could do alone.
We welcome researchers from diverse backgrounds, including those that are
technical/computational, social scientific, and design-oriented.
Interdisciplinarity will be a focus of this Research Topic, as we bring
together research on algorithms and simulations, theoretical systematic
literature reviews and meta-analyses, experimental studies, field studies,
designs, art, and more. Investigations on creativity and robotics come from
different standpoints, from the development of robots that incorporate
creative abilities, to robots that have been developed as tools to
potentiate creativity in humans but are not necessarily creative
themselves. Thus, this is a timely moment for a dedicated venue that
integrates current research efforts in creativity and robotics.
By exploring novel ways to emulate creativity in robots, we aim to create
new tools, as well as to advance the understanding of what creativity is in
humans. Understanding human creativity is an ongoing, active research area
where multiple definitions for the term “creativity” exist. Lacking a
theoretical and algorithmic definition of creativity prevents us from
recreating it in machines. Thus, we intend to present rigorous scientific
advancements in methods, measures, models, algorithms, and theories, that
contribute to the understanding of the interplay between social robots and
creativity research.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions to this Research Topic are required to provide a clear
definition for the concept of creativity. Additionally, contributions are
expected to discuss how their research contributes to a “common language”
that advances the holistic notion of the concept of creativity across
fields.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Include, but are not limited to:
• Algorithms to simulate creativity in social robots
• Curiosity in social robots
• Creativity applications of social robots, including educational,
healthcare, in-home, entertainment, among others
• Humor and jokes in social robots
• Long-term creativity between humans and robots
• Creative content generation in robots
• Outcomes of interaction with a creative robot
• Human perception of creative robots
• Artistic applications of robots reporting creativity outcomes, including
poetry, music, design, visual arts, performances
• Creativity as domain-specific or a domain-general in social robots
• Computational creativity for social robots
• Group versus individual creativity in human-robot interaction
• Creativity measurement in human-robot interaction
• Co-creation with social robots
• Robot embodiments and aesthetics for creativity fostering
• Creative process versus creative outcome
• Measuring human experiences in creating with robots
• Identifying key aspects of human creativity for machine design

<mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu>Overview of Special Issue
Information Systems Development (ISD) has been part of the intellectual
core of information systems for over 40 years (Obrand et al., 2018;
Sidorova et al., 2008). Its chequered history of successes and failures
has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community
(Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to
improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the
desired effect (Lim et al., 2011). There is anecdotal evidence that
business analytics can help project managers to (i) understand the
dynamics and collective state of complex projects, (ii) detect and
forecast trends, (iii) improve the effectiveness of risk models, (iv)
evaluate the effectiveness of a change to the development process, and
(v) distinguish questions of ‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’
(Davenport et al., 2010).
Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques,
technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that
analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand
its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012,
p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the
technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and
their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to
be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019).
This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a
highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is
continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler
et al., 2017).
This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest
developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business
analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and
other project stakeholders.
Indicative List of Anticipated Themes
This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse
project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different
aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The
following questions are of interest for the special issue:
• How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD
projects?
• What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and
development teams?
• What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with
traditional and agile methods and practices?
• What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to
be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation?
• Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods
and practices less valuable or even obsolete?
• What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to
manage and control ISD projects more effectively?
• How can business analytics enable organisational learning and
innovation in the context of ISD?
• How are business analytics being applied in various types
(distributed, large scale) of ISD projects?
• How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects?
• What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that
need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities?
• How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects?
• What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD
projects?
• How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision
making?
• What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the
implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects?
These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are
intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in
the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from
participants in individual projects through projects, programs,
portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions
that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of
business analytics and ISD project management.

TRACK DESCRIPTION
Organisations and society in general are faced by challenges around
digital technology innovation, and the rapid, large scale change that it
brings. Whilst some organisations have achieved unprecedented levels of
productivity and profit as a result of embracing digital transformation,
many have not. Emerging cyber threats arising from the new competitive
environment are the theft of intellectual property and disruption of
business continuity. Risks to organisations are exacerbated by the
unprecedented scale at which competitive information and knowledge is
being collected and analysed by organisations and the increased
vulnerabilities from the rapid integration of new and complex
technologies into the digital environment such as the internet of
things. The Information Security Management and Privacy track focuses on
how organisations and society can protect themselves considering the
disruption caused by digital technology.
This track welcomes empirical and rich theoretical papers that provide
interesting insights on these and other issues in the IS sphere from an
information security management and privacy perspective. The track
welcomes design science, empirical, economic, managerial, behavioural,
and theoretical submissions across a diverse range of topics—from
technical management aspects to broader social and managerial issues at
the individual, organizational, or societal levels. We invite
theoretical perspectives from behavioural, organizational, cognitive,
cultural, socio-technical, or other lenses for analysis of these issues.

Social Network Analysis and Mining - Special Issue on Tackling COVID-19
Infodemic
Website: https://www.springer.com/journal/13278/updates/18175124
*Description*==================
While the COVID-19 pandemic continues its global devastation, numerous
accompanying challenges emerge. One important challenge is to efficiently
and effectively use recently gathered data and find computational tools to
combat the COVID-19 infodemic. An infodemic is an overabundance of
information – some accurate and some not – occurring during an epidemic.
Rampant conspiracy theories, disinformation, misinformation, and various
types of scams can spread fast by taking advantage of human gullibility,
fear, and ignorance. Therefore, there is a pressing need to manage the
infodemic to help people find trustworthy information and reliable guidance
during this global public health crisis. AI for Good holds a lot of
potential for solving societal problems including combating the infodemic,
while challenges remain. It is important to integrate theories from
different disciplines to help with the COVID-19 crisis.
In this special issue, we provide an interdisciplinary forum for
researchers and practitioners to combat the COVID-19 infodemic. We expect
novel research to study the understanding, detection, mitigation, and
measurement of the COVID-19 infodemic and potential future outbreaks. To
facilitate further research in COVID-19 infodemic, this special issue
welcomes interdisciplinary research articles, new open-access datasets,
repositories, and benchmarks, broadening research on crisis informatics and
its development.
*Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:*
====================================
- Disinformation/misinformation detection and mitigation
- Fact-checking and credibility assessment
- Computational tools to understand, measure and contain infodemic
- Diffusion and intervention of infodemic
- Bias, transparency, and fairness
- Economical impacts of infodemic
- Infodemic monitoring across countries, regions, and cultures
- Individual and societal impacts of COVID-19 infodemic
- Epidemiology, public health, and infodemic
- Psychology, marketing, and behavioral insights
- Data science, applied maths, and physics for infodemic
- Society, ethics, trust, and governance for infodemic
- Attribution and source tracing of COVID-19 infodemic
- Spatio-temporal infodemic analysis
- Social network analysis
- AI for COVID-19
- Sociological and psychological analysis of infodemic
- COVID-19 infodemic datasets, benchmarks, and repositories
*Submission Instructions*
==================
Articles reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to
the above topics are solicited. We welcome two types of research
contributions:
(1) Research manuscripts reporting novel methodologies and results (up to
20 pages);
(2) Benchmark, Datasets, Repositories, and Demonstration Systems (up to 8
pages).
Submitted articles will follow an academic review process. Manuscripts must
