From: Silvia Pera <spera(a)bmnt.com>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
Hi all,
I'm Silvia Pera, a Navy contractor, working with the Navy to get the word
out about the following Request for Information solicitation.
The Navy is concerned about IT personnel's ability to maintain and
troubleshoot IT systems shipboard as they grow increasingly more complex.
Therefore, the Navy is reaching out to industry to uncover what industry
solutions may already exist for analogous problems. Note, this is a request
for information and the government is not committing to purchasing from
industry but is rather exploring the problem space and is interested in the
different approaches industry is taking to tackle the problem. The RFI is
available here
<https://beta.sam.gov/opp/f10cb8d83af6400fbc712b03ef7b11ec/view?keywords=nov…>.
There will be a webinar May 19, to answer industry questions, evite is here

<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.

*Theme*
As of 2010 half of the world population lived in urban areas and 150
metropolitan urban regions across the world generated almost 50% of the
global GDP. In other words, from then on, cities became more and more
the places, where a process of deep societal and economic reform should
start from, where global issues may be addressed locally, where smart
technology may be discussed. Definitively, cities have a sufficient
critical mass in both demographic and economic terms to ignite a
planetary revolution.
The concept of a smart city is understood as the specific use of
advanced information and communication technologies for a sustainable,
social, ecological and economic development of urban space. The focus of
a smart city is on the access, processing and use of information to
improve existing urban processes. The acquisition, collection and
analysis of urban (real-time) data and the coordination of data use with
Internet- and web-based services has opened up new possibilities for
increasing economic, social, natural and infrastructural resource
efficiency and improving the quality of life.
However, the technology-focused perspective excludes two essential
aspects that are of high importance for a "future city": Preservation of
knowledge and involvement of the citizens in the design process.
Solutions (e.g., digital platforms, civic (tech) events) designed by and
with citizens promote transparent and participatory collaboration that
enables the development of a smart living environment. In this respect,
it is important that civil society is willing to cooperate and that
public administrations take these efforts seriously. With regards to
aspects of the socio-technical approach, it is important that technical
and human factors have equal weight in the design process of new smart
city models. This citizen-centered approach makes it possible to develop
new socio-economic and participatory models that promote, for example,
solidarity, social inclusion and communities. This becomes particularly
relevant in the field of governance (D’Onofrio et al. 2019).
With this in mind, in this special issue, we intend to help cities
better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the governance of
their infrastructures. On that account, with a focus on cities
efficiency, sustainability, and resilience (see Portmann & Finger 2016;
Portmann et al. 2019), we invite researchers to submit their paper
addressing an innovative handling of societal challenges, presenting
novel economic models to govern them as well as technological prototypes
and frameworks to have an impact.
**
*Central issues and topics*
This special issue of Electronic Markets will focus on new, innovative
approaches to smart governance models for future cities that may improve
existing processes and models of governance and will change/improve the
interaction and communication between citizens and representatives of
the public sector. They should discuss how their approaches and
solutions enable enhanced ways of information exchange and communication
between citizens and representatives of the public sector, how new
models can improve existing government models and thus how urban
knowledge can be preserved and be used for future cities.
This special issue is not only intended for academics and researchers
but will also be valuable for executives, managers, innovators and
project leaders who would like to implement smart methods to govern
urban systems. To this end, it intends to present a set of state-of- the
art method boxes, case studies and web-based tools that together make it
possible to design, implement, and test smart cities strategies-to-be.
The (non-exclusive) list of topics includes:
* Smart governance of urban systems and networked business models
* Complexity theory for smart governance of urban systems
* Collective city intelligence for implementation of smart cities
* Learning and cognition theory for implementation of smart cities
* Application of human-centered artificial intelligence for smart cities
* Integration of smart citizens into the development of smart
governance models
* Smart participation and smart voting
* Digital platforms and ecosystems for smart cities
* Data mining for smart city applications
* Application of smart open gov data
* Sustainable, social, ecological and economic issues in smart
governance models for future cities
* Trust, privacy, and security issues in smart governance models for
future cities
*Keywords*
collective intelligence, digital platforms, ecosystems, governance, open
gov data, privacy, security, smart citizen, smart city, smart
participation, trust

Subject: [ACSOS] ACSOS 2020: Call for Doctoral Symposium Papers
Date: Wed, 13 May 2020 09:32:07 +0100
From: ACSOS 2020 <publicity(a)acsos.org>
To: acsos(a)lists.uni-wuerzburg.de
**** ACSOS 2020 - Call For Doctoral Symposium Papers ****
1st Joint ICAC/SASO International Conference on
Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems
17-21 August 2020 – Washington, DC & Online
https://2020.acsos.org/https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf
********************************************************
The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and
Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the
latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing,
self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a
merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing
(ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and
Self-Organizing Systems (SASO). For more information about the merger,
as well as up-to-date news, see
https://conf.researchr.org/news/acsos-2020 or follow us at
https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf!
The Doctoral Symposium provides an international forum for PhD students
working in ACSOS-related research fields to present their work to a
diverse audience of leading experts in the field, to gain both
insightful feedback and discussion points around their research as well
as the invaluable experience of presenting new research to an
international audience. The symposium has a strong history, though ICAC
and SASO, of connecting young researchers with highly experienced peers
to forge connections which can last for many years.
PhD students are invited to submit a two-page abstract, with another
page for references, which should use the below format to describe the
key motivation of their research, the major contribution (either actual
or expected, depending on the research stage), discuss their
methodology, and present the current status of the research. Authors of
accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work both at
the doctoral symposium and in brief at the main conference itself,
offering a very wide audience for their research.
Students at any stage of their PhD are welcome to submit. Reviews,
feedback, and expectations will be adapted appropriately to the relative
stage of each submission.
**** Important Dates ****
June 3, 2020: Paper submission deadline
June 24, 2020: Paper acceptance notification
July 8, 2020: Camera ready deadline
**** Mentoring Program ****
This year the Doctoral Symposium will employ a mentoring program, in
which every author of an accepted paper will be paired with an
experienced mentor from the community. Mentors will help introduce the
student to the community, offer extended discussion of their research
objectives and career opportunities, and will host their students
throughout the event to help gain the best experience from an
international conference.
**** Submission Instructions ****
Submissions should use the IEEE Computer Society Press format
(https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) and should
be a maximum of 2 pages long, with an extra page permitted for references.
Authors should submit their abstracts to EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos20
Because the doctoral symposium focuses on the work of specific PhD
students, please note that only single-author submissions are permitted,
with the name of the PhD supervisor included below that of the author.
All submissions should have the following specific structure:
Motivation and challenges: explain why this research is important, and
identify the key research question and challenges that have yet to be
addressed by the community - including limitations of current approaches
Contribution and objectives: present the main contribution of the
research, in a way that a non-expert could clearly understand, then
present the detailed objectives of your research, highlighting why your
work is novel in comparison to existing research
Methodology and preliminary results: present the methodology of your

Subject: Re: [AISWorld] CFP of China Workshop on Economics of
Information Systems Theory (CWEIST 2020)
Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 19:48:11 -0500
From: Xianjun Geng <geng(a)tulane.edu>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
*China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST 2020)*
*June 29-30, 2020 • Online via Zoom*
The field of information systems has a long tradition of using mathematical
and economic modeling to understand information systems phenomena and
generate useful recommendations. With many emerging phenomena in IS, the
need for this type of applied theory research is ever greater. However, the
forums for this style of inquiry are rather limited, especially for
analytical modeling scholars in China and the surrounding regions. The
purpose of the China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory
(CWEIST) is to bring together a community of scholars in China and around
the world with a shared interest in the use of mathematical and economic
modeling for IS and related fields. We hope this summer workshop to become
a unique forum for this community to exchange ideas, hone our skills, and
form new collaborations across geographical boundaries.
In face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will move CWEIST 2020 online via Zoom
for this year. The workshop will be held online on two days, June 29-30.
For each day, the workshop runs from 9pm to 12 midnight Beijing time (i.e.,
9am-12 noon US Eastern Time / 8am-11am US Central time / 6am-9am US Pacific
time) in order to accommodate participants from multiple time zones.
We invite submissions of original completed and research-in-progress papers
addressing issues concerning mathematical and economic modeling for IS and
related issues. The workshop features both extended-length presentations
that are 50-min long and a poster session. For each extended-length
presentation, we also assign an experienced researcher as a discussant.
Only completed papers are considered for extended-length presentations.
Work-in-progress papers and completed papers that are not selected for
extended-length presentations are considered for the poster session. Only
abstracts of accepted papers will be displayed on the conference website
(we do not post full papers) http://idsdl.csom.umn.edu/cweist2020/

Subject: [AISWorld] Draft report of the Computing Curricula 2020
project is now available for public review
Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 18:23:08 -0400
From: Heikki Topi <hetopi(a)gmail.com>
To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
Dear AIS Colleagues:
I would like to bring to your attention an important opportunity to review
and give feedback on an important computing education document Computing
Curricula 2020 (CC2020). The current draft version of CC2020 has been
developed in a multiyear global process with ACM and IEEE-CS as main
sponsors. Several other academic and professional societies, including AIS,
have also contributed to the project. AIS has served in a very important
role in the CC2020 process by representing (together with ISCAP EDSIG) the
interests of the global Information Systems community and the perspectives
that integrate computing technology with its organizational and societal
transformational capabilities.
The purpose of CC2020 is to examine the current curricular guidelines for
academic degree programs in computing and provide a vision for the future
of computing education. The draft report is available at
https://www.cc2020.net, and the project steering committee welcomes
feedback from the global computing education community by June 15, 2020.
Please take this opportunity to review the CC2020 draft document and give
your feedback to the steering committee using the link available on the
project website.
Thank you very much in advance!
On behalf of the CC2020 steering committee,
Heikki Topi
VP of Education, AIS
Professor and Chair, Computer Information Systems, Bentley University
o examine the current curricular guidelines for academic degree programs in
computing and provide a vision for the future of computing. The project has
produced a draft report that is available for review from May 1, 2020 to
June 15, 2020.

Subject: [WI] ACM RecSys 2020 3rd Call for Doctoral Symposium
Submissions and COVID Update
Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 18:09:55 +0000
From: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br
Reply-To: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br

Call for Doctoral Symposium Submissions
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its physical
component and go fully virtual. To support authors through these
stressful times, deadlines are extended.
The ACM RecSys 2020 Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for
doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under
the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers from both academia
and industry. We invite students who feel that they would benefit from
this kind of feedback on their work to apply for this unique
opportunity, which will allow them to share their work with their peers
as well as with senior researchers in the field. The strongest
candidates will be those who have made some research progress, but who
are not so far along that they can no longer make changes in their
research plans. Typically, this means that they have defined their topic
and have completed some research, but still have at least a year of
research remaining before completing a dissertation (in many
universities this corresponds to the dissertation proposal stage). The
feedback from attendees in previous years has been very positive and the
Doctoral Symposium has been considered very useful in providing research
guidance.
The symposium has the following objectives:
1. Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students’ current
research and guidance on future research directions.
2. Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from
faculty and students outside their own institution.
3. Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a
spirit of collaborative research.
4. Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other
researchers and conference events.
Student participants will have their extended abstracts published in the
conference proceedings. They will also present a poster of their work at
the conference.
SYMPOSIUM FORMAT AND PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS
Participants are expected to attend the entire symposium, including the
dinner, and are also expected to attend the ACM RecSys 2020 conference.
Accepted participants will be considered for travel support for the
RecSys 2020 conference directly from the ACM.
The format of the symposium will be primarily student presentations
supplemented by one or two panel sessions to provide advice and Q&A
opportunities with senior researchers in the field. Student
presentations will be structured to provide maximum feedback. In particular:
* Presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, followed by 20-25 minutes
for feedback and discussion.
* Two of the symposium faculty will be assigned to provide "primary"
feedback for each presenter; following this primary feedback there will
be a period of open feedback from all participants.
* Students will be expected to take notes for another participant so
that each of you can focus on interacting during the discussion
surrounding your presentation.
* During the main conference, students will also present their
dissertation work and plans in the form of a poster presentation.
Being accepted into the symposium is an honor, and involves a commitment
to giving and receiving thoughtful commentary with an eye towards
shaping the field and upcoming participants in the research area.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Applications are invited from graduate students pursuing a PhD project
who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their doctoral
research by a panel of established researchers. All submissions and
reviews will be handled electronically.
Application. Applications should include the following:
1. An extended abstract (see below).
2. A curriculum vitae.
3. A one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation,
including questions regarding your dissertation that you would like to
ask your symposium mentors.
4. A brief letter of recommendation from your doctoral advisor, focused
on how your participation in the doctoral symposium will benefit your
dissertation research.
Submit these four items in a single PDF file to PCS by 23:59, AoE
(Anywhere on Earth) on June 15th, 2020. There will be no extensions to
the submission deadline.
Extended Abstract. Your extended abstract will be evaluated with regard to:
1. Originality of the work with respect to current concepts and
techniques (provide relevant citations).
2. Importance of the work with respect to fundamental issues in
recommender systems (clearly identify the problems you are trying to solve).
3. Rigor and validity of claims, argumentation, methodology, results,
and interpretations.
4. Clarity and persuasiveness of expression.
Please write your extended abstract to the same quality standards as a
regular RecSys submission.
Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to
separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance
accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our
publications. Following the new ACM publication workflow, all authors
should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. The
maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding references)
in the new single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors
are given below:
* Microsoft Word: Write your submission using the Submission Template
(Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded instructions to apply
the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in
single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is
required at this point.
* LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Master Article Template -
LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the "manuscript" option
with the \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command to generate the
output in a single-column format which is required for review. Please
see the LaTeX documentation and ACM's LaTeX best practices guide for
further instructions. To ensure 100% compatibility with The ACM
Publishing System (TAPS), please restrict the use of packages to the
whitelist of approved LaTeX packages.
Authors are strongly encouraged to provide "alt text" (alternative text)
for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with
disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that
are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in
place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author
as well as it broadens the reader base for the author's work. Moreover,
the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine
crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats.
Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions
above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com for both
LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries.
Accepted extended abstracts will be later submitted to ACM's new
production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML
output formats before publication.
Confidentiality. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the
review process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in
perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be
kept confidential until two weeks prior to the start of the conference.
Submissions should contain no information or materials that are
proprietary at publication time.
SELECTION CRITERIA
To provide maximum feedback to each student, participation in the
doctoral symposium is limited. Selection is based on two broad criteria:
* Value of the symposium to the student:
* The degree to which the applicant is positioned to benefit from
participation, including the student’s position in the doctoral process
(the greatest benefit is for students with a developed research idea but
much of the work yet undone).
* The degree to which the student may otherwise lack access to a diverse
set of feedback and input on his or her research plans (e.g.,
availability of local experts and advisors).
* Value of the student’s participation to other students.
* The quality of the extended abstract (as identified above), both as a
model of excellent research and as an indication of the student’s
potential in the field.
* Diversity of participation, including diversity by institution,
country, research topic and approach, and demographics. In general we
will limit participation to one or two students per institution,
depending on the number of applicants.
* Evidence that the student will be an effective and active participant,
providing feedback to others and helping to build a research network.
APPLICATION CHECKLIST
Well in advance of the deadline:
1. Write an extended abstract according to the formatting instructions
above. The maximum length for extended abstracts is 7 pages (excluding
references) in the new single-column format. Note that the student is
the sole author of the abstract. Advisor(s) can be thanked in the
acknowledgments.
2. Write a curriculum vitae.
3. Write a one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation.
4. Obtain a letter of recommendation from your advisor.
By the deadline (June 15th, 2020, 23:59 AoE):
1. Submit items 1-4 above in a single PDF file to PCS.
