-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 32nd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (OZCHI) 2020 - Call for Papers and Late-Breaking Work Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 01:32:25 +0000 From: Callum Parker <callum.parker(a)sydney.edu.au> OZCHI 2020 Call for Papers and Late-Breaking Work ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OzCHI 2020 - 32nd Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction Virtual Conference 2-4 December 2020 http://www.ozchi.org/2020/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We invite original contributions on all topics related to human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design and the design of interactive technologies. We welcome submissions from design, engineering, social science, creative industries and other related disciplines. In acknowledgement of the effect that Covid-19 had on everyone's ability to conduct research, we have pushed back the Paper deadline. We now invite Paper as well as Late-Breaking Work submissions to be submitted by 14 August 2020. Submissions to both categories will be peer-reviewed and published in the conference proceedings. ====== Papers: ====== Papers should present original research and mature work in the fields of HCI and interaction design. These papers may describe investigations of user needs or contexts of use, lab-based evaluations or field deployments of prototypes, or other design-led or empirical investigations examining the relationship between people and technology. Given the impact of Covid-19 on conducting research studies, authors are encouraged to also consider submitting theory-based contributions that make a clear contribution to the field. We no longer have the category of "Short Papers", but we are now accepting submissions to the Papers track that are any length between 8 and 16 pages in the new, single-column ACM Master Article Template<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats>. The length of the paper should correspond to the contribution it makes. Authors are encouraged to consider submitting their work either to the Papers track or to the Late-Breaking Work track (which are up to 6 pages long in the single-column ACM format), depending on the maturity of the work. ================ Late-Breaking Work: ================ Late-Breaking Work (LBW) submissions present ideas that are emerging and would benefit from discussion with members of the HCI community. These submissions may include initial findings from new research, experiences of reflective practitioners, and first drafts of novel concepts and approaches. Due to the reduced number of submission categories this year, we also invite case studies about the design of interactive technologies to the LBW track. Case studies may be based on academic or industry projects, and should describe recent, topical work to fit the "late-breaking" theme of this track. For example, this may include projects describing the application of HCI or interaction design principles for addressing pandemic-related challenges. ============= Important dates: ============= 7 August 2020: Abstract submission for Papers and Late-Breaking Work 14 August 2020: Papers 14 August 2020: Late-Breaking Work 2 October 2020: Notification of accepted submissions 2-4 December 2020: Virtual conference takes place online =============== Submission details: =============== * Template: Papers and Late-Breaking Work submissions must follow the new Word/LaTeX Master Article template<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>. For further information and examples see the CHI2021 publication format website<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats> on https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/chi-publication-formats * Page length: Papers should be between 8 and 16 pages (excluding references). LBW submissions can be up to 6 pages long (excluding references). Reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a submission relative to its length. Shorter, more focused submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. * Anonymisation: Submissions must be anonymised for peer review. Citations of own work and general anonymisation standards should follow the CHI anonymisation policy<https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-pol…> on https://chi2021.acm.org/for-authors/presenting/papers/chi-anonymization-pol… * Submission format: single column format in PDF using Word or LaTeX, including source files. * Submission system: We are planning on using PCS this year, the submission link will be published on the OzCHI website. ============== Selection process: ============== Papers and LBW will undergo a double-blind review by an international panel and evaluated on the basis of their significance, originality and clarity of writing. This review will be based on the full text of the submission. We are planning for accepted papers to be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series available from the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register with OzCHI and present the paper at the virtual conference. We are aiming to keep costs for authors as low as possible this year. Updates on registration and online presentation format will be published on the OzCHI website. =========== About OzCHI: =========== OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) and Australia's leading forum for the latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry practitioners, academics and students. Participants come from a range of backgrounds and include interaction designers, user experience (UX) practitioners, information architects, software engineers, human factors experts, information systems analysts and social scientists. This year, OzCHI will take place as a virtual conference with Papers and Late-Breaking Work being presented online.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 54 Call for Papers Minitrack Blockchain for digital services, one month to deadline again! Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 07:22:21 +0000 From: Rossi Matti <matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi> To: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 54: Minitrack Call for Papers Smart Mobility Ecosystems and Services (in Decision Analytics, Mobile Technologies and Service Science track) Minitrack chairs: Juho Lindman, Matti Rossi, Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen HICSS-54: January 5-8, 2021| Kauai, Hawaii Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2020 Website: http://hicss.hawaii.edu and https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#… Theme Transportation is changing and this change is driven by technology-driven trends: Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification and diverse mobility business models of Shared vehicles. At the same time there is a drive towards more sustainable transportation. Digital platforms and services are essential for orchestrating sustainable smart mobility service ecosystems: data that represents accurately for instance location of passengers and service providers, weather, usage and maintenance is a cornerstone for service design. Identification and communication systems that link specific physical things to specific digital addresses offer possibilities to communicate, transact, pay, build trust, sense and activate “things” from the internet – and design novel services based on this generated data. Autonomous vehicles, electric cars and mobility related sharing economy services are all build on platform thinking, as do many services reducing the need for travel to begin with. Autonomous vehicles have been hailed as harbingers of new kinds of mobility and travel services. Autonomous cars seem to be a bit further away from wider prevalence than expected a couple of years ago, but the data gathered for them and available from e.g. smart city initiatives and mobile devices provides great opportunities for smart mobility services, related to both private and public transportation. Shipping industry, especially in cargo shipping, has already many ongoing advanced projects and pilots, and in aviation, autonomous aircrafts are being developed by several companies. In closed and/or hazardous environments, such as mines, autonomous vehicles are already working. Autonomous vehicles in land, see and air (e.g. drones) are expected to decrease costs and increase efficiency and safety, but a host of regulatory, safety, legal and security challenges are yet to be resolved. More acutely, electric cars are increasingly embraced by car owners and they require their own set of infrastructure and services. Full scale charging infrastructure needs building, and it requires a lot of mobile services to support it. Some are simple, like applications that show location and availability of charging station, and some more complex, like payment systems for charging and in the near future for trading electricity stored in car batteries, which can be used in smart grid to balance peaks of consumption. Societal benefits of moving from fossil fuels to electricity in terms of reduction of pollution are quite clear, but in addition to insufficient charging infrastructure, limited driving range, high costs and battery issues still act as barriers to wider acceptance. At the same time there is a growing concern about sustainability of current practices of mobility and travel. Mobility related sharing economy services as well as different types of fleet services are seen as viable options to privately owned cars, but they have their own challenges, like added congestion in cities, reconfiguring existing modes of (especially public) transportation, disrupting incumbent industries and widening the power imbalance between the platform owners and “independent contractors”. These services require the ability to connect to these specific platforms and seem to be prone to strong location and availability-based network effects. At the same time concerns about e.g. business traveling has become acute in many countries and there are movements to limit both work and leisure travel when possible. Could smart digital services and apps offer alternatives for travel, or could there be services that propose the best ways to limit the carbon footprint of travel? W e are also interested in their development, design and service innovation. Furthermore, social, societal and potential customer segmentation issues are of great interest. In this proposed minitrack we take stock of what is the state of the art in current mobility services and service ecosystems and what is coming in the near future. As HICSS is addressing leading edge developments, we especially encourage submissions on new subareas, such as, sustainable travel services, autonomous transportation services, and privacy and security concepts. Topics Relevant topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited to: · Transportation ecosystems and services · Smart traffic services · Autonomous and connected vehicle development · Autonomous vehicle (land, see, air) business models · User issues in different smart traffic services * Location-based services and business models related to mobility * Business value of transportation and mobility services * Data privacy and quality in mobility services * Data sharing and ownership issues hampering data utilization in mobility services * Sustainable travel services * Value added services for travelers (usage, location, maintenance data) * Business and societal issues related to autonomous vehicles (land, see, air) * Technological challenges of adaptability and adaptivity of services Mini-Track Chairs Juho Lindman (Primary Contact) University of Gothenburg juho lindman at ait.gu.se Matti Rossi Aalto University School of Business matti.rossi at aalto.fi Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen Aalto University School of Business virpi.tuunainen at aalto.fi Matti Rossi Professor of Information Systems Science Aalto University School of Business Department of Information and Service Management P.O.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: Special Issue in JIT on "Emerging Technologies in Information Systems Sourcing"
by Gustaf Neumann 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: Special Issue in JIT on "Emerging Technologies in Information Systems Sourcing" Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2020 10:11:10 +0200 From: olik(a)itu.dk Reply-To: olik(a)itu.dk To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Information Technology on: “Emerging Technologies and IS Sourcing” Special Issue Editors: - Julia Kotlarsky, University of Auckland – New Zealand (j.kotlarsky(a)auckland.ac.nz, corresponding) - Ilan Oshri, University of Auckland – New Zealand - Oliver Krancher, IT University of Copenhagen – Denmark - Rajiv Sabherwal, University of Arkansas – USA The last decade has seen a significant proliferation of new technologies. These include robotic process automation (Coombs et al. 2020; Lacity and Willcocks 2016), big data (Wiener et al. 2020), machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence (Brynjolfsson and McAfee 2016), blockchain (Du et al. 2019) and other “emerging technologies”. Consulting and market research companies have consistently predicted that the current wave of technologies will transform both front and back office operations, requiring firms to rethink their business models and strategies . While evidence suggests that firms will continue to invest in emerging technologies, there has so far been little evidence about the involvement of service providers and advisory in the selection, design and adoption of such emerging technologies. IS sourcing research has conventionally accounted for three main areas of interest: sourcing decision, contractual structures and relationship management (Kotlarsky et al. 2020). Emerging technologies challenge these traditional conventions in the IS sourcing literature . Particular challenges include but are not limited to:  There is greater dependency on data in emerging technologies, which triggers clients to source data science services;  The actual implementation of emerging technology often happens through platforms that involve multiple players and services;  The asset transfer model has become less relevant and yet client firms are still expected to reduce their headcount;  There is greater emphasis on the redesign of the value chain as services have become digitized and decisions are now driven by smart algorithms;  At the same time, emerging technologies are viewed as a black box, posing a skills and expertise challenge to client firms to ensure acquiring and retaining knowledge of the technology. Further, the IS sourcing literature which has traditionally relied on three main reference theories, namely, transaction cost economics, resource dependency and social exchange (e.g., Karimi-Alaghehband et al. 2011; Chang et al, 2017; Kotlarsky et al. 2020; Lee et al. 2019). Emerging technologies emphasize the need of expanding this theoretical base and accommodating new paradigms of capturing and analysing data in IS sourcing research. Taking into account the above observations, the IS sourcing literature thus begs for the re-examination of client-supplier-advisory relationships by challenging core concepts of sourcing decision, contractual structure and relationship management as offering new theoretical landscapes that accommodate the sourcing phenomenon in a digital age. 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 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 deriving from 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). There will be a developmental workshop connected to this special issue. Participation in the workshop not mandatory for submission to the special issue, but strongly encouraged. Guidelines for Extended Abstract Submission: Please construct your submission as follows: 1. Introduction and clear motivation 2. Brief literature review and theoretical foundations 3. Empirical base of the study 4.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] International Semantic Intelligence Conference 2021 Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 21:42:32 +0530 From: SARIKA JAIN <jasarika(a)nitkkr.ac.in> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Researchers / Academicians, [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] [image: reduced size ISIC 2021 image.png] *International Semantic Intelligence Conference (ISIC-2021)* https://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/isic/ *Call for Papers and Participation* *Conference Date:* *Feb 25-27, 2021* *Submissions Due:* *August 10, 2020* *Submit your paper through Easy Chair:* https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isic2021. ISIC is an international platform for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Semantic Web communities. It presents a forum to publish cutting edge research results in intelligent applications. Due to many technological trends like IoT, Cloud Computing, Smart Devices, huge data is generated daily and at unprecedented rates. Traditional data techniques and platforms do not prove to be efficient because of issues concerning responsiveness, flexibility, performance, scalability, accuracy, and more. To manage these huge data sets and to store the archives for longer periods, we need granular access to massively evolving data sets. Addressing this gap has been an important and well recognized interdisciplinary area of Computer Science. A machine will behave intelligently if the underlying representation scheme exhibits knowledge that can be achieved by representing semantics. Semantic Intelligence refers to filling the semantic gap between the understanding of humans and machines by making a machine look at everything in terms of object-oriented concepts as a human look at it. Semantic intelligence helps us make sense of the most vital resource, i.e., data; by virtue of making it interpretable and meaningful. To whatever application, the data will be put to; it is to be represented in a manner that is machine-understandable and hence human-usable. The Artificial Intelligence technologies, the Machine Intelligence technologies, and the semantic web technologies together make up the Semantic Intelligence Technologies (SITs). SITs have been found as the most important ingredient in building artificially intelligent knowledge-based systems as they aid machines in integrating and processing resources contextually and intelligently.

Since such agents often rely on complex internal processing, their behavior is less predictable than that of the types of IT artifacts we are used to dealing with. This opens up a number of problem areas with regards to managing and organizing these methods. For example: - How does coordination shift as AI tools are used, and what new types of organizational hierarchies and structures emerge? - How do power relations change, and how do different organizational actors use these new technologies to reshape power relations? - What is the impact of using AI on those processes that have traditionally been seen as being entirely driven and controlled by humans? - How can the organization evaluate the ethical implications of deployed AI methods? - What are relevant KPIs and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of AI applications? - How should an organization manage, staff and coordinate AI development teams? This minitrack aims to contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms through which humans organize together with software-based agents as well as the process organizations use to develop these AI methods. We aim to provide a platform for thought and discussion in this important and emergent niche within information systems and IT research. We invite both conceptual and empirical contributions using different methodological approaches (qualitative, quantitative, design-oriented, simulation, etc.). In addition to the questions raised above, potential topics include, but are not limited to: - AI & coordination: How does AI change the way humans coordinate? - AI & power: How does AI affect corporations, markets, and peer production structures? - AI & governance: Who runs the technology? What does the technology run? - AI & development: How to manage project and deployment risk? - AI & creativity: How can AI be creative? How can humans and AI be co-creators? - AI & design: What does AI design? Should it design itself? - AI & innovation: How does AI foster innovation? - AI & crowds: What do crowds do for machine learning, and what’s in it for the crowds? - AI & organizational routines: How does AI change the nature of work?

Conf. on Process Mining (ICPM 2020) – Call for contributions Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 17:29:36 +0200 From: Claudio Di Ciccio <claudio.diciccio(a)uniroma1.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Doctoral Consortium of the 2nd International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2020) Key dates - Extended abstract submission: Thursday, 6 August 2020 AoE (strict) - Notification of acceptance: Monday, 7 September 2020 - Camera-ready copy: Monday, 14 September 2020 - Consortium: Sunday, 3 October 2020 https://icpmconference.org/2020/doctoral-consortium ---------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak, ICPM 2020 and all the co-located events will be held in a fully virtual setting, with no travel involved. ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhD students working in the area of Process Mining are invited to submit their proposals for participation in a Doctoral Consortium, which will be held on Sunday, October the 3rd, 2020, in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2020, https://icpmconference.org/2020/). Participation is free of charge, provided that participants are registered for the conference. The Doctoral Consortium has the following objectives: * To provide valuable feedback on students' research topics, directions, methods and plans; * To help students pitch their research ideas to peers in the research community; * To promote the development of a community of scholars that will help students in their future careers; * To introduce new scholars to the process mining research community and provide opportunities to meet and interact with experienced researchers. The PhD candidates of the accepted proposals are expected to present their PhD project at the Doctoral Consortium. We welcome submissions representing a broad spectrum of research topics related to Process Mining. Participants will benefit from the advice of senior researchers in the field and from the interaction with peers being at a similar stage of their careers. Also, they will receive valuable feedback on how to shape their thesis from experts in the area, which could be useful to participate in the Best Process Mining Dissertation Award at ICPM at the end of their Ph.D. programme. Submission -------------------------------- PhD students interested in engaging in detailed discussions on their research at the Doctoral Consortium are invited to submit an extended abstract, which describes their thesis work and, in particular, elaborates on the following discussion points: * The main research question guiding the envisaged research; * The motivation of the research questions (what is new about the research question and why is this important to be investigated?); * The initial ideas on the solution being proposed and its validity; * The planned research methodology and possible techniques being applied, with specific attention on how the results are going to be validated; * The relation of the work to the state of the art, especially (but not only) in process mining research. The points above will be considered by the jury to evaluate the contribution (see "Review process" below for further details). The extended abstract should be discussed with the respective PhD supervisor before submission. The manuscript must be written in English and prepared using the latest IEEE Computational Intelligence Society conference proceedings guidelines (8.5" × 11" two-column format). Templates are available for Latex and Word here. The manuscript should not exceed the length of 2 pages. The manuscript should be submitted (as a single PDF file) by midnight (Anywhere on Earth, AoE) by 6 August 2020 via the ICPM 2020 submission website on EasyChair (select the "Doctoral Consortium" track): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf= icpm2020. The accepted manuscripts will be published on a volume of CEUR-ws proceedings. Review process -------------------------------- Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium Committee. The review of the reported research work in each proposal will take into account its originality, its potential for advancing the process mining field, and whether the work is at a stage where the PhD candidate can benefit from participating in the consortium. Also, the presence, clarity and depth of the aforementioned discussion points will determine the judgement of the reviewers. Experimental results for the proposed research are not required. However, a concrete plan for the PhD project is a must. Rejected submissions will receive written feedback. Confidentiality of submissions will be maintained throughout the review process. Notification -------------------------------- Authors will be notified of the result of their submission by 7 September 2020. Accepted doctoral candidates will receive instructions on how to submit a camera-ready copy of their proposal and will receive information on the preparation of the presentation and poster (see "At The Conference" next). Acceptance to the Doctoral Consortium is an honour. In turn, accepted candidates are expected to fully commit themselves to the success of the consortium by being open to new ideas and suggestions and providing ideas and suggestions to other participants. All accepted contributions will be circulated among the participants about one week before the consortium. At the conference -------------------------------- Please mind that your presentation may be shaped on the day of the event. Get ready to present your work using whiteboard and pen. This allows the jury to discuss the essential parts of your thesis. Please prepare for not more than 20 minutes of presentation. The remaining time will be filled with discussions. Accepted submissions will be presented at the Doctoral Consortium. The venue is open to invited participants, including (but not limited to) the students and their supervisors.[a] Attendance for the invitees is free of charge. All participants are expected to attend every session of the consortium. Students will present their work to the group with substantial time provided for discussions and questions by participating researchers and other students. The jury will select the best contribution. The winner will hold a 2-minutes pitch during the main conference.
