-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP SI: Business Analytics for the Management of Information Systems Development Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 16:23:17 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Business Analytics for the Management of Information Systems Development ________________________________ Special issue call for papers from Information Technology & People Submission deadline: 30th September 2020 Special issue editors: Denis Dennehy, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Email: denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie<mailto:denis.dennehy@nuigalway.ie> Ilias Pappas, University of Agder, Norway Email: ilias.pappas(a)uia.no<mailto:%20ilias.pappas@uia.no> Samuel Fossa Wamba, Toulouse Business School, France Email: s.fosso-wamba(a)tbs-education.fr<mailto:s.fosso-wamba@tbs-education.fr> Katina Michael, Arizona State University, USA Email: katina.michael(a)asu.edu <mailto:katina.michael@asu.edu> <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.

To support authors through these stressful times, deadlines are extended. The ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2020) is the premier venue for research and applications of recommendation technologies. One of our goals is to connect communities of researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry in order to exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share solutions. Industry practitioners are invited to submit talk proposals to the RecSys conference industry track. The industry track is focused on challenges and practical solutions to significant real-world issues faced by industry practitioners. We encourage submissions that describe substantial real-world challenges and novel deployed systems that power recommendations in commercial settings. All submissions will be reviewed by the Industry chairs and the best proposals will be chosen based on merit and contribution to the community. Examples of talk topics include, but are not limited to: * Challenges faced by practitioners that are under-studied in the research community and practical solutions * Novel techniques that solve significant issues in practice * Case studies of real-world implementations * Evaluation metrics and studies * Field and user studies * Lessons learned from real-world deployments * Novel recommender system applications * Fairness and bias of recommender systems Authors of the selected proposals will give an oral presentation in the Industry Track and will also be invited to present a poster at the conference poster sessions. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Papers must be submitted to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on June 8th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the submission deadline. 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 industry talk proposals is 2 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your paper 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.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS-54 minitrack on Value, Success and Performance Measurements of Knowledge, Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems - Deadline: June 15 Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 18:05:00 +0200 From: Stefan Smolnik <fuh(a)smolnik.net> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 54th Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-54) January 5-8, 2021 (Tuesday-Friday) Grand Hyatt Kauai, Kauai ( https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/hawaii/grand-hyatt-kauai-resort-and-spa/k… ) Minitrack: Value, Success and Performance Measurements of Knowledge, Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems ( https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial… ) Part of the Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems Minitrack description: Research into knowledge systems, knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational knowledge/KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in today’s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of knowledge/KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and, thus, are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiatives’ success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measuring this success.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 2021 [CFP] Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) mini track Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 06:34:32 +1000 From: Babak Abedin <babak.abedin(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting to HICSS 2021: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) mini track ( https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#… ). Fast track journal opportunity at *Information Systems Frontiers * *Description*: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of decision analytics and service science has received significant attention in academia and practice alike. Yet, much of the current efforts have focused on advancing underlying algorithms and not on decreasing the complexity of AI systems. AI systems are still “black boxes” that are difficult to comprehend—not only for developers, but particularly for users and decision-makers. Also, the development and use of AI is associated with many risks and pitfalls like biases in data or predictions based on spurious correlations (“Clever Hans” phenomena), which eventually may lead to malfunctioning or biased AI and hence technologically driven discrimination. This is where research on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) comes in. Also referred to as “transparent,” “interpretable,” or “understandable AI,” XAI aims to “produce explainable models, while maintaining a high level of learning performance (prediction accuracy); and enable human users to understand, appropriately, trust, and effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially intelligent partners”. XAI hence refers to “the movement, initiatives, and efforts made in response to AI transparency and trust concerns, more than to a formal technical concept”, eventually impacting task performance of users. With a focus on decision support, this minitrack aims to explore and extend research on how to establish explainability of intelligent black box systems—machine learning-based or not. We especially look for contributions that investigate XAI from either a developer’s or user’s perspective. We invite submissions from all application domains, such as healthcare, finance, e-commerce, retail, public administration or others. Technically and method-oriented studies as well as design science or behavioral science approaches are welcome. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* - *The developers’ perspective on XAI* - XAI to open, control and evaluate black box algorithms - Using XAI to identify bias in data - Explainability and Human-in-the-Loop development of AI - XAI to support interactive machine learning - Prevention and detection of deceptive AI explanations - XAI to discover deep knowledge and learn from AI - *The users’ perspective on XAI* - Presentation and personalization of AI explanations for different target groups - XAI to increase situational awareness, compliance behavior and task performance - XAI for transparency and unbiased decision making - Impact of explainability on AI-based decision support systems use and adoption - Explainability of AI in crisis situations - Potential harm of explainability in AI We provide the opportunity for (extended) best papers of this minitrack to be fast-tracked to the Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) journal. Important Dates for Paper Submission June 15, 2020: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2020: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection Minitrack Co-Chairs: Christian Meske (Primary Contact) Freie Universität Berlin and Einstein Center Digital Future christian.meske(a)fu-berlin.de Babak Abedin University of Technology Sydney Babak.Abedin(a)uts.edu.au Iris Junglas College of Charleston junglasia(a)cofc.edu Fethi Rabhi University of New South Wales f.rabhi(a)unsw.edu.au _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
