WEBPAGE: http://www.dessert.unina.it/RSDA2020 WikiCFP: http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=107847&copyownerid… *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** The inherent potential of reliability and security data is well recognized by academia and industry for assessing dependability properties of computer systems and operational networks, and improving the engineering process. Analysis of textual logs and numeric data produced under real workload conditions by applications, systems, and networks, intrusion detection systems, and issue trackers plays a key role for engineers and practitioners. Nevertheless, in spite of decades of research and methodological advances, data analysis in this specific area keeps posing challenging research questions due to the heterogeneity, volume and velocity of the collected data, the lack of systematic end-to-end analysis procedures, the increasing diversity of analysis objectives and emerging application domains in critical areas. GOALS RSDA 2020 aims to concentrate ideas and contributions from academic and industrial organizations addressing reliability and security of computer systems through data analysis. RSDA aims to gather high-quality papers on data-driven methodologies, measurements from production systems, and analysis of large datasets. The past RSDA editions have established a friendly and lively forum to stimulate scientific research and discuss analysis techniques, procedures and tools that are currently adopted to manage, analyze or evaluate reliability and security data sets. The expected output of the workshop is to keep fostering synergies between researchers and industrial bodies of different research communities concerned by RSDA and establishing the agenda of future research activities in the area.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] last call: Reminder: iCFP HICSS-54 Minitrack on Emerging Issues in Distributed Group Decision-Making Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 16:04:49 +0000 From: Anil Aggarwal <aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues: After successful sessions last five years, we are continuing our mini track on Emerging Issues in Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges at the HICSS Conference. We invite you to submit your paper to our minitrack . A call for papers is attached. http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_54.htm Regards, Anil Aggarwal University of Baltimore USA Doug Vogel Harbin Institute of technology PRC Yuko SJ Murayama Tsuda College Japan ===================== CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track Emerging Issues in e-collaboration Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges<http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_54.htm> (Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track ) HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-54) Grand Hyatt Kauai Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration. Distributed teams face many challenges of time, location, infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity, nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks. The mini track will attempt to accomplish these objectives. The mini track will address emerging issue such as diversity, culture, adaptability and agility related to teams in distributed group decision making, as well as the underlying theories of group dynamics, coordination, communications and decision-making in distributed environments, in creation of competitive advantage. Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to): * eCollaboration in distributed teams * Fake news impact on ecollaboration * Swift team collaboration * Sub groups impact on eCollaboration * Big data collaboration * E-government(s) inter- , intra-collaboration * Collaboration through crowdsourcing * Disaster management in distributed teams * Delivering health services through collaboration * Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds * Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making * Can agile teams be globally distributed? * Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams * The "e (internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation of globally distributed teams * Communication and coordination in globally distributed teams * Diversity issues in globally distributed teams * Customer satisfaction, performance and "trust" building in globally distributed teams * Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams * Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore distributed teams * Turbulent economy and its impact on outsourcing * Models of globally distributed agile/adaptable teams * Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally distributed teams * Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams * Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams * Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams * Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally distributed teams Contact Information for Mini-Track Chair: Dr. A.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - The Bright Side and the Dark Side of Digital Health, Internet Research (SSCI, ABDC 'A' JCR Q1) Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 01:02:57 +0900 From: Young Hoon Chang <younghoonchang(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Internet Research Call for Papers The Bright Side and the Dark Side of Digital Health （ https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.ht… ） Submission due: September 1, 2020 Guest Editors Zhijun Yan - Beijing Institute of Technology, China, yanzhijun(a)bit.edu.cn Roberta Bernardi - University of Bristol, UK, roberta.bernardi(a)bristol.ac.uk Nina (Ni) Huang - Arizona State University, US, nhuang6(a)asu.edu Younghoon Chang - Beijing Institute of Technology, China, younghoonchang(a)bit.edu.cn Overview of Special Issue Digital technology has been transforming how individuals, organizations, and societies use information to improve their decision making on their daily lives and daily operations. In recent years, the healthcare industry has also actively engaged in the adoption of digital technology and enabled the formation of digital health. The digital health covers lots of advanced technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (HIT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, health data analytics and personalized medicine (Lupton 2018). These technologies offer new exciting opportunities to improve medical outcomes, enhance efficiency and balance health resources. In particular, digital health can better collect, process and analyze health-related information, and provide decision support for patients, doctors, healthcare organizations, public health management and medical research (Guha and Kumar 2018). There are many positive and negative issues associated with the use of digital health by these stakeholders. On the one hand, digital health can empower patients to make better decisions about their own health and provide new options for facilitating prevention, early diagnosis, surveillance, management and prediction of chronic conditions outside traditional healthcare settings (Lin et al. 2017). Doctors can also get a more holistic view of patient health through access to data and improve quality of care (Lin et al. 2019). Pharmaceutical companies and digital health companies can also benefit from patient-generated knowledge for the advancement of medical research (Kallinikos and Tempini 2014) and the design of personalized healthcare interventions (Bernardi 2019). On the other hand, the integration of digital technology in the healthcare industry presents risks such as the spread of misinformation (e.g. anti-vax communities, Doty 2015), the disclosure of patients' privacy that could be used by health insurance companies to make discriminatory pricing (McFall and Moor 2018), increased doctors' technical anxiety and slow acceptance of digital health innovation (Bernardi and Exworthy 2019), and health inequalities due to the digital exclusion of patients (Latulippe et al. 2017; Halford and Savage 2010). The healthcare industry is one of the largest and also one of the most important industries for citizens’ wellbeing. Addressing the complexities of today’s various negative and positive healthcare issues requires more than one perspective and needs more interdisciplinary collaboration and research. The rapid development of advanced technologies and methodologies such as social media, Internet of things (IoT) data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) brings lots of opportunities to handle the complicated problems in the healthcare industry. It makes it possible to improve people’s health conditions smartly and comfortably. However, the adoption of digital technology in health care usually lags behind other industries, as some major technological and managerial obstacles still remain (Bunduchi et al. 2015). Obstacles include the lack of health data integration, data overload issues, data privacy and security, and limited or inefficient data visualization (Agarwal et al. 2010). At the same time, academics need to address the issues related to the dark side and potential risks of digital health. This special issue aims to serve as a forum in which healthcare, computer science, management and social science scholars can come together to discuss new emerging issues related to the bright side and the dark side of digital health. It invites submissions from a variety of methodological, theoretical, and multidisciplinary perspectives.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Sixth International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC) 2020
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Sixth International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC) 2020 Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2020 11:10:26 -0400 From: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sixth International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC6) 2020 Part of ACM/IFIP International Middleware Conference, Dec 7-11, 2020. The workshop will take place in TU Delft, Netherlands. Over the last four to five years, Serverless Computing (Serverless) has gained an enthusiastic following in industry as a compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and microservices. Many of the major cloud vendors have released serverless platforms, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM Cloud Functions. Open source projects are gaining popularity in providing serverless computing as a service. In particular Kubernetes gained in popularity in enterprise and in academia. Several open source projects such as OpenFaaS and Knative aim to provide developers with serverless experience on top of Kubernetes by hiding low-level details of Kubernetes and add new capabilities such as supporting event-driven serverless cloud-native applications. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and thoughts on future directions of serverless research. Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control, cost, and flexibility compared to distributed applications built on an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) substrate. For example, a serverless architecture requires developers to more carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute, memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that developers face is the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable, and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear, including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be applied to composition in a serverless environment. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers. The latest version of this CFP is available at http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc6/ Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in serverless computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Infrastructure and network optimizations for serverless applications Debugging serverless applications Programming models Use cases, experiences Benchmarks Cost models, pricing models, and economics of serverless DevOps Other topics related to serverless computing Important Dates Paper Submission: September 14, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: September 21, 2019 Final Camera-Ready Manuscript (Hard Deadline): October 10, 2019 Author registration deadline: TBD Conference: December 7-11, 2020 Papers and Submissions Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research/application papers that are not being considered in another forum.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Artificial Intelligence Implications for IS Research Methods Minitrack Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 16:14:03 +0000 From: Rohit Nishant <rohit.nishant(a)fsa.ulaval.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> HICSS 54, Jan 5-8, 2021 Track: Organizational Systems and Technology Minitrack: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IMPLICATIONS FOR IS RESEARCH METHODS This minitrack focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in more traditional research methods, as well as the role of the IS field in developing new digital and automated research methods. IS research has witnessed evolutions of different methodologies and methodological paradigms at regular intervals. As upcoming progress in AI is expected to fundamentally transform the very nature of work in all fields, including academia, scholars will have to contemplate its potential integration in their research practices. Some AI-based features have already been implemented in academic research, notably for data selection, sample allocation, and text analytics. There are also machine learning based tools such as iris.ai available for literature review. In that respect, it becomes important to start to reflect on the potential and implications of AI with academic research, as well as our own readiness for the forthcoming integration of AI into our work. This minitrack covers issues related to the design, development, and application of AI-based features for academic research. AI-based features can include using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to review research papers, using automated data modeling tool for empirical analysis, and AI for identifying relationships inherent in a phenomenon. This minitrack also seeks to explore research opportunities and challenges associated with the automation of research, including epistemological, methodological, and ethical implications. Submissions may include research papers (theoretical and/or empirical), as well as design studies, literature reviews, and research commentaries. Topics of interest are related to at least five main themes associated to the integration of AI in research methods, and relevant to the IS community: Integration of AI into traditional research methods and development of new research methods, which will include · Better access to Big Data · Improvement of pattern recognition accuracy · Development of new NLP algorithms for text analysis · Improving predictive and prescriptive power of research models, therefore shifting focus from inferential statistics to prediction · New research directions and opportunities uncovered by AI capabilities including · Improved understanding of existing phenomenon · Exploration of new topics and phenomenon · Discovery of new relationships, hitherto unexplored previously · Quality and evaluation of AI-supported research, including · Integration of design principles to evaluate research tools · Development of new metrics to assess AI-supported research · Ethical considerations related to the use of AI in academic research · Role of the IS field in accompanying AI-based changes in academia Important Dates: • Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST Minitrack Co-Chairs: Mathieu Templier (Primary Contact) Université Laval mathieu.templier(a)fsa.ulaval.ca<mailto:mathieu.templier@fsa.ulaval.ca> Rohit Nishant Université Laval rohit.nishant(a)fsa.ulaval.ca<mailto:rohit.nishant@fsa.ulaval.ca> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
