-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - The Bright Side and the Dark Side of Digital Health, Internet Research (SSCI, ABDC 'A' JCR Q1) Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 01:01:59 +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. Theoretical work that engages critically with the debate about the bright and dark sides of digital health is also welcome. In bringing technical, behavioral, clinical, and managerial perspectives together, this special issue hopes to generate new insights into the design, adoption, utilization, and management of digital health as well as an understanding of its risks and adverse consequences for individuals, organizations, and societies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Participating behavior of digital health • Knowledge sharing and knowledge seeking of online health communities • Knowledge discovery and decision support based on online health communities and clinical decision-making systems • Social and economic return of digital health • Data privacy, trust and security in digital health • Fake information and information fraud in online health communities • Online-offline data integration and analytics • Organizational, operational, clinical and financial implications of digital health • Health, social and economic impact of digital health • Big data analytics and artificial intelligence application • Theories, models and classification frameworks that shed light on the bright side and dark side of digital health • Methods for studying the bright side and dark side of digital health and its impact on individuals, communities (societies) and organizations • Understanding how individuals, communities and organizations can minimize, prevent or respond to the dark side of digital health • Understanding what motivates individuals, communities and organizations to deliberately engage in digital health • Examining the dark side (outcomes, behaviors and practices) that accidently or unintentionally emerge in digital health • The ethics of the dark sides of digital health (especially with recent AI developments and uses in digital health) • Region, sector and industry-focused studies on the bright side and dark side of digital health • Economic impact of digital health on the healthcare industry • The effects of digital health on epidemic or pandemic outbreaks Important dates • Submission due: September 1, 2020 • 1st round review decision: November 30, 2020 • Revised submission due: December 31, 2020 • 2nd round final review decision: January 31, 2021 • Publication: 2021 Special Event – DHA 2020 The guest-editors organize a conference “2nd International Conference on Digital Health and Medical Analysis” in Beijing Institute of Technology on 1-2 July 2020 (https://www.dha2020.org/).

Fwd: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2020 14:34:42 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2021 Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society 1st – 3rd September 2021 NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland www.I3E2021.com<http://www.i3e2021.com/> AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and unintended or negative consequences for individuals and society (cf. Ransbotham et al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These opportunities and consequences have not been evenly distributed. Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered by AI and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns. Ethics permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to use, to how to represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the insights to create economic and social value. Ethical concerns (i.e. illegitimate surveillance, invasion of privacy, unemployment, malicious use etc.) are frequently used to portray AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’. These concerns warrant the attention of the academic community who are in a privileged position within society to raise awareness about the responsible design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT. At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of exclusion and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and communities excluded from the digitised society. For example, digital exclusion is part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a growing phenomenon which carries with it a series of deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor lifelong earnings and an increased risk of marginalisation). There are many who are currently excluded for reasons of low income and education, location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various disabilities (European Commission). Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a comprehensive approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive society. The 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society. To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2021 at NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland.

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.

As part of the Organisational systems and technology track (http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/organizational-systems-and-technology/), we seek new research describing different issues and solutions in integrating to digital platforms. The submissions can be research papers, case studies, novel designs, or practitioner reports on topics including: * Strategic choices in joining infrastructures * Technology choices in joining infrastructures * Methods for assessing infrastructures when planning either to join or to leave them * Risks of being too dependent of a closed infrastructure * Risks of open infrastructures * Risks of declining or dying infrastructures * Empirical studies and experiences on benefits, risks, challenges or practices in joining or being connected to infrastructures * Systems and software development and development practices when joining infrastructures * IT management practices in the context of digital infrastructures * Organizational consequences of using external infrastructures Evolving digital platforms, or infrastructures, (such as the smart grid, Google services, cloud platforms, Amazon, Facebook, e-health, Internet of Things platforms, etc.) are deeply intertwined to the everyday life of businesses and citizens. We claim that in the future the success of businesses and public sector organizations is dependent on their ability to harness both new technology and its social capacities. These digital capabilities are afforded by the platforms. The platforms are often global, remote, and nearly invisible, and thus they cannot be controlled by people utilizing them. In addition, digital infrastructures may change or evolve, and include unknown security risks and strategic threads. Managing these changes, risks and opportunities is challenging for any local developer, or user, of different kinds of digital products and services. At the same time readily, available global platforms (e.g. Amazon AWS, Google apps, Facebook APIs to name a few) offer enormous power for even the smallest developer and user organizations. The minitrack focuses on actors that do not own or are not able to establish their own infrastructures or platforms. They are often referred to as non-focal actors (Selander et al. 2013). A non-focal actor is at the periphery of a digital platform. The objective is to understand and demonstrate how these local actors can benefit from the strategic use of existing and coming digital infrastructures .The platform is not dependent on a single non-focal actor and, in principle, a non-focal actor may choose to which platforms it connects. However, to survive and succeed in their business, non-focal actors need to integrate to platforms owned and managed by others. Often there are no alternatives, as global platforms have a tendency to form monopolies because of the winner-takes-it-all economics. From the non-focal perspective, the process of development and integration is reactive where most development is done against the changes in the capabilities of the infrastructure, or to provide a match between the infrastructure and the business need (Henfridsson & Bygstad 2013).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AIOPS 2020 (Call for Papers) Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2020 15:36:37 +0000 From: Bogatinovski, Jasmin <jasmin.bogatinovski(a)tu-berlin.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear researcher, we are very excited to announce the organization of the International Workshop for AIOPS (AIOPS2020). Following the ever greatest interest in that area, we are strongly devoted to the appearance of high-quality research papers aiming to depict the landscape for our community. Our goal is to bring the community together, identify the most relevant problems and open a possibility for further collaborations. To further confirm our strong interest, we choose to collocate the workshop with the A-ranked ICSOC (International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing) 2020, Dubai, UAE, 14-17.12.2020. Therefore, we announce our call for research papers, looking for novel and innovative methods in the area of artificial intelligence in the field system operation. More information can be found at https://aiopsworkshop.github.io/ Submissions are now open at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiops2020 The official Call for Papers can be found at: https://easychair.org/cfp/AIOPS2020 Abstract registration deadline: August 8, 2020 Submission deadline: August 16, 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------- *CFP* Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centres, cloud computing environments, edge clouds, IoT and embedded environments, are becoming more and more complex. Managing such systems only with human resources puts an enormous burden on the operators and scales poorly from an economic perspective. To mitigate this issue IT operators increasingly rely on tools from artificial intelligence for assistance. Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is an emerging field arising in the intersection between the research areas of machine learning, big data and streaming analytics, and the management of IT operations. The main aim is to analyze system information of different kinds (metrics, logs, customer input, etc) to support administrators by optimizing various objectives like prevention of SLA violation, early anomaly detection and auto-remediation, energy-efficient system operation, providing optimal QoE for customers, predictive maintenance and many more. In this field, a constantly growing interest can be observed, and thus, practical tools are developed from both the academy and industry sectors. As a result, AIOps progress towards a future standard for IT operation management. However, the combination of previously separate research fields brings many challenges. Novel modeling techniques are needed that help to understand the dynamics of different systems, laying out the basis for assessing time horizons and uncertainty for imminent SLA violations, the early detection of emerging problems, autonomous remediation, decision making, and support, and various optimization objectives. Furthermore, a good understanding and interpretability of these aiding models are especially important for building trust between the employed tools and the domain experts. This will result in faster adoption of AIOps and further increase the interest in this research field. The main aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to present their experiences, results, and work in progress in this field. We want to strengthen the community and unite it towards the goal of joining the efforts for solving the main challenges the field is currently facing. A consensus and adoption of the principles of openness and reproducibility will boost the research in this emerging area significantly. List of topics: Early anomaly, fault and failure (AFF) detection and analysis Self-healing, self-correction and auto-remediation Self-adaptive time-series based models for prognostics and forecasting AFF identification, localization, and isolation Root cause analysis Adaptive fault tolerance policies Forecasting of hardware and process quality Decision support Planning under uncertainty Predictive and prescriptive maintenance Maintenance scheduling and on-demand maintenance planning Fault-tolerant system control Reliability and quality assurance Autonomic process optimization Energy-efficient cloud operation Autonomous service provisioning Explainable AI for Systems Visual analytics and interactive machine learning Active and life-long learning Information and communication models for AIOps systems Platforms: Time-series DBs, Streaming, Data Lakes AI platforms for AIOps Design of experiment (DoE) for different use-cases, testbeds, evaluation scenarios Each paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee for ensuring high quality. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] [CfP] EELP 2020 - The Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 17:10:28 +0200 From: Laura Pandolfo <lpandolfo(a)uniss.it> Reply-To: Laura Pandolfo <lpandolfo(a)uniss.it> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS EELP 2020 The Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming September 18-24, 2020 Rende, Italy https://www.semsys.aau.at/events/eelp2020/ ============================================================================== AFFILIATION This workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2020. In keeping with the main conference, the workshop will be held as a fully virtual event this year. AIMS AND SCOPE Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - Semantics of epistemic operators in logic programming - New methods for solving epistemic extensions of logic programs - Computational properties of epistemic extensions of logic programs - Relating epistemic extensions of logic programs with other logic-based formalisms - Practical applications of logic programming extended with epistemic extensions - Additional language features - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving epistemic extensions of logic programming - Evaluation and comparison of logic programs with epistemic extensions to other paradigms - Grounding of non-ground logic programs programs with epistemic extensions SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We welcome two categories of submissions: - Full Papers, that is, original, unpublished research (at most 15 pages), and - Extended Abstracts of already published research (at most 2 pages). All submissions should be in the Springer LNCS format. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The submission page is available here:http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eelp2020. EELP is a non-archival venue and there will be no published proceedings. However, informal proceedings will be provided and the papers will be posted informally on the workshop website. Submissions to other conferences and journals both in parallel and subsequent to EELP 2020 are allowed.
