-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Book Chapters on Intelligent Technologies for Internet of Vehicles Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:44:11 +0000 From: Naercio Magaia <ndmagaia(a)fc.ul.pt> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Book Chapters for the Springer-Verlag Handbook: "Intelligent Technologies for Internet of Vehicles" Series on Internet of Things - Technologies, Communications and Computing (covered by Scopus) Editors: - Naercio Magaia, University of Lisbon, Portugal - George Mastorakis, Hellenic Mediterranean University, Greece - Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis, University of Nicosia, Cyprus - Evangelos Pallis, Hellenic Mediterranean University, Greece - Evangelos K. Markakis, Hellenic Mediterranean University, Greece Internet-of-things (IoT) has appeared as a novel and ground-breaking technology aiming to provide Internet connectivity to every device that have computation, communication and storage capability. Numerous applications such as smart health, smart cities, smart industries, and smart homes are a result of this phenomenon of connecting smart devices with the Internet. In order to provide secure and safe transportation, IoT has evolved into a novel concept, also known as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) where smart vehicles equipped with computing, communicating and storing capabilities communicate with each other and with surrounding infrastructure via vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The latter enabled the exchange of critical information among smart vehicles including sudden lane changes, steep-curves, black ice warnings, and traffic accidents avoidance, therefore assisting the drivers in extreme and difficult situations. IoV has an enormous potential to provide secure and sa fer transportation as it enables the vehicles to take correct decision in a timely manner. In addition, IoV will also have intelligence and learning capabilities to anticipate the vehicular users' intentions. Cloud-based IoV mechanisms provide several essential services from routing to content search, spectrum sharing, dissemination, attack protection, etc. However, IoV-based objects produce a vast volume of information frequently called as Big Data, which cannot be easily processed by traditional algorithms and schemes. Future smart environments will enable efficient handling and processing of Big Data that is generated by the associated objects for an effective communication and co-operation among them. In addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial role in such environments, enabling for smarter services, applications, business processes and social interaction among the IoV objects. In this respect, a great potential exists for advanced technological solutions combined with AI and IoV-enabled capabilities. AI mechanisms applied in IoV environments can be exploited in smart cities to analyze drivers' actions via data gathered and/or exchanged by enabled V2X vehicles' Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and microcontrollers. AI will play a significant role in future IoV applications and infrastructures, by providing insights from collected data. This capability will enable the identification of patterns and will allow operational predictions with higher accuracy in small time periods. AI applications for smart vehicles will also enable businesses to develop new products, reduce possible risks and increase efficiency during the production time, by predicting failures that are usually non-detectable by humans. The future of the implementation of AI-powered IoV infrastructures depends on the effective solutions to a number of technical challenges that such paradigms introduce. These challenges include intelligent sensor capabilities improvement and integration, smart Big Data analytics, automated remote data management, as well as open and secure composition of processes, which may be implemented into emerging AI-enabled IoV scenarios. Some initiatives try to incorporate Artificial Intelligence schemes in IoV environments, but new frameworks have to be defined. In fact, the approach of IoV is to find the potential benefits of AI, in order to build extensive ecosystems, for increasing the number of automated services and their value. This Book aims to gather recent research works in emerging Artificial Intelligence methods for processing and storing the data generated from cloud-based Internet of Vehicles infrastructures. In this context, the major subjects of the proposed book will cover th e analysis and the development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoV applications and architectures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Emerging trends of AI and IoV - Architectures and systems for AI and IoV convergence - IoV with Machine Learning technologies - IoV with deep learning schemes - AI-enabled IoV applications and systems - Performance evaluation of Deep Learning and IoV-related mechanisms - Social computing and Intelligent IoV - Blockchain-oriented IoV schemes and related topics - Artificial immune systems and IoV - Algorithm optimization for intelligent IoV applications - Intelligent Big Data analytics - AI-enabled computing - Deep-learning network approaches for IoV applications and services. - Applications of AI for 5G-based IoV resource management - Intelligent edge/fog-based computing and analysis - Self-Organizing intelligent systems - Smart cities and AI applications - AI in all sort of vehicular communications - Security, privacy and trust by design and performance evaluation - Multimedia QoS, and traffic management in IoV - Intelligent network estimation techniques - AI-based schemes for IoV emergency communication networks - Applications of AI for 5G+ vehicular technologies We strongly welcome other topic suggestions, dealing with AI and IoV and any converged approach.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants (AIA) HICSS Minitrack Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 09:19:46 +0000 From: Rainer Schmidt <Rainer.Schmidt(a)live.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants (AIA) Minitrack HICSS54 Internet and the Digital Economy Track https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/internet-and-the-digital-economy/#artifi… Description Artificial Intelligence (AI) receives a high degree of attention due to recent progress in several areas such as image detection, translation, and decision support. Many companies expect to gain a competitive advantage from AI. Starting from decision support, the way in which AI supports digital processes is becoming more and more sophisticated. Assistants leverage AI in two primary ways. First, virtual personal assistants and chatbots, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, enable the interaction of human beings with machines by voice, replacing standard human-computer interaction via mouse, keyboard, and screen of an application. Second, AI-based assistants replace human beings interfacing two application systems. These kinds of AI-based assistants are also subsumed under the term Robotic Process Automation (RPA), handling interactions previously performed by humans to pair two application systems. AI--based assistants employ technologies such as natural language processing, predict ive analytics, machine learning, as well as voice recognition and generation. They unlock business value through automating processes, intensifying customer interaction, reducing errors, and speeding up interactions to name a few. Following the understanding that information systems are socio-technical in nature, AI-based assistants should be framed as a step toward humanizing technology and work environments. Goal The minitrack "Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants" shall promote the scientific exchange on AI-based Assistants for the Digital Economy. The minitrack shall enable researchers to present and discuss innovative approaches, methodologies, models, processes, etc. to design, implement, deploy, operate and optimize such assistants for the Digital Economy. Focus of the Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants minitrack The Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants minitrack deals with the following topics, but contributions can also be submitted on other topics. * Applications of Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants in the Digital Economy * Methods and models to design, develop, implement, deploy, manage and monitor artificial-intelligence-based assistants. * Methods, tools, and approaches to capture user behavior using techniques such as process mining to derive recommendations for actions. * New business models and processes based on Artificial Intelligence-based Assistants Organizers Rainer Schmidt Munich University of Applied Rainer.Schmidt(a)hm.edu Rainer Alt Leipzig University rainer.alt(a)uni-leipzig.de Alfred Zimmermann Reutlingen University alfred.zimmermann(a)reutlingen-university.de Author information https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ Publication of papers: Presented papers will be included in the Proceedings of HICSS-54 Important Dates for Paper Submission April 20 | 6:00 pm HST: Paper submission begins.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP Social Information Systems-Minitrack HICSS54

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP Social Information Systems-Minitrack HICSS54 Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 09:20:03 +0000 From: Rainer Schmidt <Rainer.Schmidt(a)live.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers HICSS54 Social Information Systems-Minitrack In the Digital and Social Media Track https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/digital-and-social-media/#social-informa… Minitrack Description Social information systems combine social media technologies and principles of open collaboration. They comprise a large variety of software including social networking platforms, online/content communities, collaborative project management tools collaborative technologies, blogs, wikis, and sites for crowdsourcing being among the well-known. Social Information Systems differ from other types of information systems by enabling emergent interactions. Emergent interactions are defined during run-time by two or more participants of a social information system. No plan or approval from a supervisor or management is necessary. In this way, social information systems differ fundamentally from the prevailing information systems, so-called Tayloristic information systems. Tayloristic Information Systems, build upon the ideas of Taylorism, enable users only to interact according to specific features and design fixed in software. Although the users may initiate these interactions on their own. they are bound to the interaction types defined in the information systems. Social information systems have profound practical implications on the way individuals communicate and the way business processes are organized. Platform business models such as AirBnB need social information systems to evaluate and integrate resources. The so-called "Gig-economy" posits that crowdsourcing platforms have the power to change hierarchical coordination towards more market-like and fluid forms where individuals bring in their competencies for specific projects, I.e. "gigs". From this perspective, social information systems may be regarded as "glue" in distributed business processes. The field of social information systems comprises technical aspects and requirements (e.g. Web 2.0 techniques, semantic interoperability, data analysis and fusion, social analytics) as well as their embedding in business processes and business models. Among the examples are the use of social information systems in business process management and applications, such as social customer relationship management. Focus of Social Information Systems Minitrack For the fourth time, the minitrack "Social Information Systems" promotes the scientific exchange on social information systems, in particular regarding the economic, organizational and technological challenges. Possible themes are, but are not limited to: · How can organizations leverage social information systems to create business value (e.g. in productivity or cost efficiencies) ? · Which kind of actions could be used to foster interactions if a certain dimension of the business value should be strengthened? · How current business processes and workflow have to be modified in order to leverage social information systems in the most effective way? · Can social information systems improve business processes and workflows beyond business value increase and include value, meaning, and engagement for their users (or stakeholders)? · Is any type of associated methodology that helps to improve productivity in the social information systems and align them with the strategic aims of the company? · How can users of social systems be motivated to participate? · How does the use of a specific social information system influence the organization? · How is it possible to measure the value created by emergent interactions in a quantitative way? · Which types of emerging interactions are used in which applications? · Which kinds of new business models are enabled by social information systems and how is this accomplished? · How are social information systems used to create platforms and exchanges? · Are there other types of emergent interactions?

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS 2021 (Kauai): Unintended consequences of IT implementations in healthcare (mini-track) Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 14:08:40 -0700 From: Virginia Ilie <ilie.virginia(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting your research to one of the newest and exciting mini-tracks at HICSS on *Unintended consequences of IT implementations in healthcare.* *Unintended consequences *are outcomes that have not been anticipated when planning or implementing Information Technology (IT) projects in healthcare. Such consequences can be either desirable or undesirable, positive or negative. While research documenting *positive *aspects of IT implementations in healthcare exists, very little is known about other unintended and rather *negative* consequences of such IT projects in the healthcare domain. Electronic medical record systems (EMR) and other advanced IT solutions have the potential to reduce healthcare costs, increase quality of care, standardize best practices and allow physicians and patients access to interoperable medical records globally. However, little research evidence exists on the link between EMR implementations and achievements of such positive outcomes. There are also many potential unintended, negative aspects and consequences associated with complex IT implementations in healthcare that remain under-researched such as misuse of EMR systems, workflow inefficiencies, dehumanizing of the patient-provider interaction, user workarounds, physician/nurse/patient dissatisfaction to security attacks and hospital data hacking and ransoming, patient privacy issues, increased hospital costs, HIPAA violations, increased difficulties in information sharing among healthcare entities, and abandonment of costly EMR projects among many other things. *2021 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-54)* January 5-8, 2021, Grand Hyatt, Kauai, USA *http://hicss.hawaii.edu/ <http://hicss.hawaii.edu/>* *Track: Information Technology in Healthcare* *Mini-track**: Unintended consequences of IT implementations in healthcare* This mini track calls for research associated with any *unintended – positive or negative – consequences* of IT implementations in the healthcare domain at various levels of analysis, individual, organizational or societal. Such research should help inform both academics and practitioners of unintended negative consequences from complex IT implementations and introduce possible solutions to alleviate such negative impacts. We seek research on topics such as: · Misuse of EMR systems by clinical staff, patients or other entities. · Lack of innovation in EMR interface design. · Evidence of positive organizational outcomes from EMR implementations such as cost reduction, improved care, inter-operability, etc · Impacts on clinical workflows and provider-to-provider communication patterns. · System design issues and associated consequences. · Consequences associated with attaining cost reductions or other target indicators due to EMR implementations. · Challenges in obtaining complete information at the point of care or information overload. · Increased difficulties in information sharing among providers or healthcare entities. · Dehumanizing of the patient-provider interaction. · User workarounds and new types of medical errors. · Physician/nurse/patient dissatisfaction with clinical systems. · Security attacks and hospital data hacking and ransoming. · Users’ perceptions of security controls in healthcare and their compliance or non-compliance. · Patient privacy issues. · HIPAA violations and recommendations to stay compliant. · Challenges for smaller clinical practices in selecting and working with an EMR vendor. · Abandonment of costly EMR projects. · Any other unintended positive or negative EMR impacts. Completed papers or research in progress with all types of research methodologies are welcome.

The systematic study of such analysis and representation is at the center of the modern discipline of formal ontology, which is a general theory of the types of entities and relations making up domains of interest. Researchers in many domains engage with formal ontology to provide a solid foundation for their work. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, and the Semantic Web. The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. The conference encourages new high quality submissions on both theoretical issues and concrete applications. As in previous years, FOIS 2020 aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology. ------------------------------ FORMAT ------------------------------ *FOIS 2020 includes a number of activities:* * FOIS conference (single track program) * workshops (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020) * tutorials (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020) * a young researchers symposium * a demo and industry track * an ontology show and tell ----------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- *Call for papers* * Paper Submission Deadline: 13 May 2020 * Notification: 20 July 2020 * Conference Dates (tentative): 14-17 September 2020 ------------------------------ SUBMISSIONS ------------------------------ FOIS seeks full-length high-quality papers on a wide range of topics. An ideal FOIS paper will address both content-related ontological issues, their formal representation, as well as their impact and relevance for some aspect of information systems.

For organizations, crowdsourcing provides an online marketplace, such as Amazon Mechanical Turk and Clickworker, to tap into the labor and intelligence of the crowd. Studies on the technical systems and collective intelligence are informative, but our understanding of the crowdsourcing phenomenon cannot be complete without a comprehensive understanding of the crowd itself, the work made available on the digital platform, and its institutional, regulatory and societal impacts. Thus, this minitrack calls for research on the following three critical aspects of crowdsourcing: Topics Topics on crowdsourcing, crowd workers and digital workforce include, but are not limited to: *Crowd worker participation and motivation *Crowd worker community *Emerging digital professions and professional development *Employment relations in crowdsourcing *Ethical issues in managing the digital workforce *Global workforce in the crowdsourcing *Psychological aspects of digital workplace (e.g., Technostress) *Skill development and career pathways of digital workforce Topics on work design and crowdsourcing work environment include, but are not limited to: *Crowdsourcing for microtasking *Task design for crowd engagement *Crowdsourcing contest design *Institutional practices and policies for crowdsourcing *Management and practice of work in hyper-digital environments *New work routines and future work design *Regulatory challenges of crowdsourcing Topics on gig work and gig workers in the gig economy include but are not limited to: *Gigs and task design *Gig worker motivation *Employment relations in the gig economy *Community effects of a distributed digital workforce *Job and career opportunities in the gig economy *Organizational and regulatory challenges in the gig economy *Psychological well-beings of the gig workers *Work-life balance of the gig workers Fast track journal publication opportunity: Authors of accepted papers will be offered an opportunity to submit their extended versions for consideration for fast-track publication in: -- Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) Special Issue on Crowdsourcing and Gig Economy Important Dates June 15, 2020: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2020: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 4, 2020: Deadline for A-M Authors to Submit Revised Manuscript for Review September 22, 2020: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication October 1, 2020: Deadline for at least one author to register for HICSS-54 January 5-8, 2021: HICSS-54 at Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii Minitrack Co-Chairs Nancy Deng (Primary Contact) |ndeng(a)csudh.edu Sara Moussawi | smoussaw(a)andrew.cmu.edu Joseph D.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: 1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling Meets Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Decision Making Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 10:57:15 +0000 From: Peter Fettke <peter.fettke(a)dfki.de> Reply-To: Peter Fettke <peter.fettke(a)dfki.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> Call for Papers: 1st Workshop on Conceptual Modeling Meets Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Decision Making See full version at: https://workshop-cmai.github.io/2020/ The workshop will be held in conjunction with the ER 2020 conference: https://er2020.big.tuwien.ac.at/ Call for Papers ------------ Artificial intelligence (AI) is front and center in the data-driven revolution that has been taking place in the last couple of years with the increasing availability of large amounts of data (“big data”) in virtually every domain. The now dominant paradigm of data-driven AI, powered by sophisticated machine learning algorithms, employs big data to build intelligent applications and support fact-based decision making. The focus of data-driven AI is on learning (domain) models and keeping those models up-to-date by using statistical methods over big data, in contrast to the manual modeling approach prevalent in traditional, knowledge-based AI. While data-driven AI has led to significant breakthroughs, it also comes with a number of disadvantages. First, models generated by machine learning algorithms often cannot be inspected and understood by a human being, thus lacking explainability. Furthermore, integration of preexisting domain knowledge into learned models – prior to or after learning – is difficult. Finally, correct application of data-driven AI depends on the domain, problem, and organizational context while considering human aspects as well. Conceptual modeling can be the key to applying data-driven AI in a meaningful, correct, and time-efficient way while improving maintainability, usability, and explainability. Topics of Interest --------------- The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Combining generated and manually engineered models - Combining symbolic with sub-symbolic models - Conceptual (meta-)models as background knowledge for model learning - Explainability of learned models - Conceptual models for enabling explainability, model validation and plausibility checking - Trade-off between explainability and model performance - Trade-off between comprehensibility of an explanation and its completeness - Reasoning in generated models - Data-driven modeling support - Learning of meta-models - Automatic, incremental model adaptation - Model-driven guidance and support for data analytics lifecycle - Conceptual models for supporting users with conducting data analysis Important Dates ------------- Paper Submission: 6 July 2020 Author Notification: 27 July 2020 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: 11 August 2020 Submission Guidelines ------------------- Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS series by Springer. Note that only accepted papers presented in the workshop by at least one author will be published.

For example, a just-in-time production comprising flexibly configured smart workstations is supplied with system components from 1st- and 2nd tier suppliers to construct trucks. Gartner predicts that connected things will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. Recently, a novel software-engineering paradigm has evolved: Internet-of-Everything (IoE) that comprises all existing and future living- and non-living things over the Internet that should be able to connect at any time, cooperate, and learn from each other. The questions that arise are: How do these new opportunities affect Business Process Management (BPM)? What are the gaps in the existing state of the art in research and industry? How to manage security and trust for IoE configurations? The scope of the BPMoIE includes, but is not limited to the following topics: * Theoretical frameworks for BPM in the era of IoE * Enterprise architecture in the IoE era * Business Intelligence over IoE * BP interoperability over IoE * Data, objects, and process mining over IoE * Machine- and deep learning for BPM * Social Machines for BPM * Software engineering in the IoT and IoE era * Agents in favor of chained BPs over IoE * Security issues in the IoE era * Intelligent orchestration and choreography of IoE objects * Intelligent adaptation of business processes in IoE * Use cases as smart cities, industry 4.0, crisis management Important dates Paper submission April 20, 2020 Paper notification May 25, 2020 Camera-ready submission June 10, 2020 Early registration June 10, 2020 Full rate registration June 20, 2020 The conference August 26-28, 2020 Special Session Organizers Prof. Dr. Ejub Kajan Computer Science State University of Novi Pazar, Serbia E-mail: dr.ejubkajani(a)gmail.com Prof. Dr. Alex Norta Department of Software Systems, School of Information Technologies, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia E-mail: alex.norta(a)gmail.com Prof.Dr. Dragan Stojanovic Computer Science, Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Nis, Serbia E-mail: dragan.stojanovic(a)elfak.ni.ac.rs Program Committee Benjamin Leiding, University of Goettingen, Goettingen, Germany Dragan Stojanovic, Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Nis, Serbia Ejub Kajan, State University of Novi Pazar, Novi Pazar, Serbia Francisco Falcone, Public University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain Luigi Lancieri, University of Lille, Lille, France Marcus Spies, Ludwig Maximilian University Munich, Munich, Germany Mohammad Asim, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan Mohamed Sellami, Telecom SudParis, Paris, France Noura Faci, University Lyon1, Lyon, France Raimundas Matulevicius, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia Rik Eshuis, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands Sadok Ben Yahia, Department of Software Science, Tallinn, Estonia Sergio Ilarri, University of Zaragoza, Spain Thar Baker, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK Vanilson Buregio, Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil Volker Skwarek, Hamburg University of Applied Science, Hamburg, Germany Zakaria Maamar, Zayed University of Technology, Dubai, U.A.E.
