-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Second CfP 2nd Workshop on the Value and Quality of Enterprise Modelling, (VEnMo 2020) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 08:02:45 +0000 From: Simon Hacks <shacks(a)kth.se> Reply-To: Simon Hacks <shacks(a)kth.se> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, WI(a)lists.kit.edu <WI(a)lists.kit.edu>, fg-arc(a)lists.uni-paderborn.de <fg-arc(a)lists.uni-paderborn.de> *********************************************************************** 2nd Workshop on the Value and Quality of Enterprise Modelling (VEnMo 2020) in conjunction with the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2020) June 22-24, 2020 (online) *********************************************************************** *** Due to the actual development, the CBI, and accordingly the VEnMo workshop, will be held digital. *** In computer science and information systems development, Enterprise Modelling (EM) is used for different purposes, like representing requirements, visualizing established work processes, specifying system design, expressing information structures, formalizing the relationships between organizational structures and IT landscapes and many more. Despite this large spectrum of modeling purposes and use cases, the value of modelling in general and of Enterprise Models in particular is still subject of research. The 2nd VEnMo Workshop invites researchers and practitioners with strong interest in the value of Enterprise Modelling to discuss approaches and experiences in measuring, assessing, evaluating, and improving the value of enterprise related models like Enterprise Models, Enterprise Architecture Models, or Business Process Models. While it is common sense that EM adds value to organizations, existing research is still vague regarding how this value manifests. Therefore, the workshop aims to shed light on existing as well as new theories, concepts and frameworks for describing, understanding and measuring the added value of EM. One important aspect in this context may be the quality of EM, as only models of an adequate quality with respect to their intended purpose allow organizations to exploit the full value of EM. Therefore, the workshop further encourages researchers or practitioners to report on insights or approaches how to assess the quality of enterprise models. However, we support a broad interpretation of the topics "value" and "quality" and encourage submissions also in related areas. **Topics** * interpretations or conceptualizations of the terms "value" and "quality" in the context of Enterprise related Models (EM, EA models, BPM, ...) * new approaches to measure, assess, evaluate, or improve the value of enterprise related models * interrelations between model, method, and tool value * perceived value of models, methods, and tools * stakeholder perspectives on value and quality of EM * metrics, quantitative, and qualitative approaches to assess the quality of enterprise related models. * theories or best practices for maximizing modelling value * relationship between quality, quantity and value * management of value aspects in modelling * case studies and industrial experience reports on successful or failed application of approaches to assess the value or quality of enterprise related models. * tools, infrastructure and environments supporting the assessment of value or quality of enterprise related models. * empirical studies, evaluation and comparison of measurement techniques and models. * we support a broad interpretation of the topics "value" and "quality" and encourage submissions also in related areas. **Submissions** Two kinds of papers will be accepted: * Full papers with a page limit of 8 pages, * Short papers with a page limit of 5 pages. Papers should be written in English, following the IEEE double column format and should be submitted through the VEnMo easychair installation, accessible via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=venmo2020. The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS. **(Tentative) Key Dates** * Workshop papers submission deadline: April 27, 2020 * Workshop papers notification deadline: May 18, 2020 * Workshop camera-ready papers deadline: June 01, 2020 * Workshop VEnMo: June 22, 2020 **Web Site** More information and link to the submission site: http://www.venmo2020.informatik.uni-rostock.de/ **Program Committee** * Peter Fettke, DFKI and Saarland University * Janis Grabis, Riga Technical University * Agnes Koschmider, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology * Robert Lagerström, KTH * Birger Lantow, Rostock University * Michael Leyer, Rostock University * Monika Malinova, Vienna University of Economics and Business * Erik Proper, Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology * Alixandre Santana, UFRPE * Rainer Schmidt, Munich University * Ulf Seigerroth, Jönköping University * Janis Stirna, Stockholm University * Margus Välja, Scania AB **Organization Committee** * Felix Timm*, University of Rostock * Simon Hacks*, KTH Royal Institute of Technology * Kurt Sandkuhl, University of Rostock * Michael Fellmann, University of Rostock *Co-Chairs -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Fwd: [AISWorld] [AJIS] New Article: The Impact of Ambivalent Perception of Bureaucratic Structure on Cyberloafing
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [AJIS] New Article: The Impact of Ambivalent Perception of Bureaucratic Structure on Cyberloafing Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 14:55:11 +1000 From: Ajis Editor <ajis.eic(a)gmail.com> To: ISHoDs <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, ISAus <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au> Hi, The *Australasian Journal of In*formation Systems has just published its latest article. *The Impact of Ambivalent Perception of Bureaucratic Structure on Cyberloafing. * * Soral, P., Arayankalam, J., & Pandey, J.* *https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v24i0.2087 <https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v24i0.2087>* *Abstract* Cyberloafing, defined as the use of the Internet for personal use at the workplace, is emerging as a serious concern for organizations as it disrupts the attainment of organizational outcomes. A systematic literature review of antecedents of cyberloafing behaviour showed that research exploring the relationship between the perception of organizational structure and cyberloafing is in a nascent stage. Acknowledging the underexplored state of research in this area, we investigated this relationship through a quantitative study using a sample of 201 employees, and the containment theory as the base. Our study results indicate that an ambivalent perception of the bureaucratic structure has a differential impact on the cyberloafing activities through serial mediation of two important attitudes, namely organizational identification and work engagement. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed. *Keywords*: cyberloafing; enabling bureaucracy; coercive bureaucracy; organizational identification; work engagement -=-=-=- *Call for Papers* AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context. Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches. Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed. All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor. AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied: • Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline. • Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge. • Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice. • Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique. • Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit. • Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate. • Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content. • Reliability - data available; replication possible. • References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient – appropriate AJIS articles referenced • Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. AJIS has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of Information Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business Deans' Council. In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO, it is listed in Cabell's International Directory and is indexed by EBSCO, Elsevier, Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals. Thanks for the continuing interest in our work, Cheers Associate Professor John Lamp Editor-in-Chief, Australasian Journal of Information Systems http://journal.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Mature organisations often have established methods and systems in use to capture and manage knowledge that supports process improvement and product/ service innovation, whereas start-ups and early stage firms do not. This mini track seeks studies of either early stage firms/ start-ups or mature firms, or both as comparisons, focussing on the knowledge and entrepreneurship challenges associated with different levels of firm maturity. These can be case studies, survey-based research, models, maturity grids or other studies that examine how firm maturity, size or other parameters are related to knowledge management and entrepreneurship approaches. Possible topics include: · How do start-ups manage their knowledge? · How does the degree of formality impact on the knowledge management and entrepreneurship approach and effectiveness? · How do start-ups manage tacit and explicit knowledge? · What theoretical frames are useful as lenses to examine this phenomena? · How can entrepreneurs such as FinTechs and software start-ups compete with more maturely developed firms? _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Call for papers ************************************************************************ Minitrack on Enterprise Blockchains https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/internet-and-the-digital-economy/#enterp… Part of the Internet and the Digital Economy Track HICSS-54 | January 5 – 8, 2021 | Grand Hyatt Kauai ************************************************************************ IMPORTANT DATES April 20, 2020: Beginning of Submission Period June 15, 2020: Paper Submission Deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17, 2020: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection September 22, 2020: Deadline for Final Manuscript October 1, 2020: Deadline for at least one author to register ************************************************************************ MINITRACK DESCRIPTION Among other promising technologies, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), often referred to as Blockchain, promise to be one of the most disruptive technologies since the invention of the internet’s TCP/IP protocol. While the first Blockchain applications provided digital money, there is an increasing number of applications outside the financial domain. Those applications that are also referred to as "Enterprise Blockchains" address business functions such as supply chain management, inter-organizational collaboration, and coordination between actors through shared infrastructures or platforms. Hence, Blockchains have the potential to increase the efficiency of transactions (i.e., transfer of assets and value) dramatically and provide new services. More recent developments that are built on top of Blockchains like decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) take the possibilities of programmable secure transactions even further. In this context, companies, governments, and whole industries are facing dramatic organizational change and transformation processes concerning their value chains while adopting Blockchains. This minitrack welcomes research regarding methods and techniques, issues, and key challenges, as well as organizational and management approaches for understanding the potential of Enterprise Blockchains for business models, value chains, organizations, governance mechanisms, emerging competitive landscapes, and new start-ups employing this technology. Research may cover any industry or organizational form and may focus on the technology layer, strategic organizational challenges, social implications about core values, and the socio-technical perspective on governing organizations that use Blockchains. By opening this track to the Computer Science, economic/management science, and the IS community, we foster the interdisciplinarity needed to grasp the phenomenon from different perspectives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Applications of Blockchains and their potential in different areas (e.g., insurance, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals, energy sector, manufacturing, transportation, automotive industry, provenance, education, government sector) The business implications of Blockchains and Internet of Things (e.g., machine-to-machine interaction, automated devices, DLT for metered appliances) The impact on business models (e.g., change of existing business models, the emergence of new business models, disruptive business models) Organizational transformation through Blockchains (e.g., distributed autonomous organizations) Implications and challenges on governing and co-creating value in organizations that use Blockchains Smart contracts and process automation in and between organizations, technology adoption, and diffusion The impact on the value chain (e.g., disintermediation, change of actors, advantages and disadvantages), the internet and the digital economy Regulatory aspects of Blockchains and implications for risk management Philosophical issues on the use of Blockchains (e.g., governance of blockchain society, decentralization of society, change in core values, building of community and collaboration) IT Management issues of Blockchains Blockchain Platforms and Ecosystems Blockchain Consortia Minitrack Co-Chairs: Helmut Krcmar (Primary Contact) Technical University of Munich krcmar(a)in.tum.de Andreas Hein Technical University of Munich andreas.hein(a)tum.de Gerhard Schwabe University of Zurich schwabe(a)ifi.uzh.ch Liudmila Zavolokina University of Zurich zavolokina(a)ifi.uzh.ch _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Workshop on Trust, Ethics, and Information Quality in Smart Environments (IW-TEIQ 2020) @IEEE CBI 2020 Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2020 13:16:17 +0200 From: Lisa Ehrlinger <lisa.ehrlinger(a)jku.at> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ======================CALL FOR PAPERS============================== International Workshop on Trust, Ethics, and Information Quality in Smart Environments (IW-TEIQ 2020) http://cbi.ivi.ie/ <http://cbi.ivi.ie/> In conjunction with the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Business Informatics - CBI 2020, Antwerp June 22-24, 2020 COV19-INFO: In alignment with the organizers of CBI 2020, the IW-TEIQ 2020 workshop will be organized in an online format without physical presence. We will keep you informed about the organizational details as new information arises. SCOPE ============= With this workshop we aim to discuss information aspects in Smart Environments from a Trust, Ethics and Quality Perspective. Smart Environments are characterized by complex information exchanges between many intelligent devices, often based on IoT technology. Since Trust, Ethics and Information Quality have a high impact on the way data is exchanged, integrated, and shared, it creates new challenges and opportunities to explore how Trust, Ethics and Information Quality are interacted, measured and managed to create values to Smart Environments. As critical research aspects in Business Informatics, it can be detailed as how users perceive the information, how to handle the information, and how fitting the information for usage. Trust, Ethics and Quality of information are emerging issues in many scientific areas as well as in the industrial and the governmental areas. Information Trust, Ethics and Quality are gaining increasing relevance in the era of data analytics, as it is for example the case in IoT infrastructures where a large number of heterogeneous data sources needs to be considered. However, which data source can be trusted is related to the research of information provenance. Sometimes, the data source is deliberately edited such as fake news. Also, which data source can be used and how to use the information in an ethical way can be relevant to the invasion of personal information privacy. Further, Quality of information is not simply “correctness”, but covers dimensions like completeness, currency, interpretability, consistency, and many others, depending on the data consumers and the context where data is used. Following, the measurement and maintenance of Trust, Ethics and Quality of information is a non-trivial task, which needs to be tackled in order to guarantee qualitative data integration and analytics in smart environments. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Trust, Ethics and Quality of information. Research challenges include how to determine the Trust, Ethics and Quality of information and their impacts on business performance, capturing and maintaining Information Assets, and designing and improving Smart Environments. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as experimental and simulation. In addition, practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ Paper Submission Due: April 17th, 2020 Authors Notification: April 27nd, 2020 Camera-ready Submission: May 8th, 2020 ================ TOPIC OF INTERESTS ================ Trust and reputation in business informatics Information provenance Ethics in business informatics Ethical issues in information systems Information quality assessment Data quality assessment Information quality improvement Information quality algebra Information quality models Data cleaning Information quality on the Web Quality of scientific information Quality of geographical information Information quality & trust ================ PAPER SUBMISSION ================ All papers should be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwteiq2020 Submissions must be in English and should not exceed 6 pages for regular papers and 4 pages for research-in-progress papers in the IEEE 2-column template (http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/use-authoring-too…). Accepted papers will be published as IEEE proceedings and submitted for integration into the IEEE Digital Library. To ensure a double-blind review process make sure that your names and affiliations are NOT listed in the manuscript submitted for review.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: HICSS-54 Mini-track: Human-Robot Interactions

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: HICSS-54 Mini-track: Human-Robot Interactions Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:15:26 +0200 From: Sangseok You <sangyou(a)umich.edu> To: This is the AISWorld List Server <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Mini-track Title: Human-Robot Interactions General Research Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies HICSS-54, January 5-8, 2021 Kauai, Hawaii Journal Fast-track Opportunity: Information Systems Frontiers, Special Issue on Social Robotics Business and Computing Robots are increasingly being adopted in private and public spaces, leading to a proliferation of human‒robot interactions in the home, workplace, and other public settings. Robots in the home are performing household chores and acting as home companions and home health care providers. Robots at work are fulfilling traditional human roles in logistics, transportation, and manufacturing, serving as both co-workers and supervisors. Robots are also being utilized as tour guides, janitors, and security officers in public spaces such as museums and airports. Although these interactions are often collaborative, they are by no means always cooperative. Robot interactions with humans across this array of roles and settings pose interesting questions to scholars in various fields such as information systems, robotics, psychology, and sociology. Interaction with robots is distinct from that with other artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies in that robots have a physical body that allows them to manifest physical actions. People cannot only talk to robots but also touch and be touched by robots. This distinguishes interactions with robots from interactions with disembodied AI agents, such as voice agents like Siri by Apple and Alexa by Amazon. Thus, research on human‒robot interaction can differ significantly from that of human interaction with disembodied AI agents. The mini-track welcomes research papers that explore human‒robot interaction and robot design at any level (i.e. individual, team, organizational, and societal). This mini-track also covers human‒robot interaction as much as possible beyond the notion of "robots as teammates.” Thus, we encourage submissions that examine many facets of interactions in any context (e.g., homes, work, and public services) and role (e.g., companion, co-worker, boss, and adversary). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Promoting cooperative and collaborative interaction with robots • Examining uncooperative and adversarial human interactions with robots • The role of adoption and appropriation in human‒robot interactions • Empirical studies examining the cognitive, psychological, emotional, and social aspects of human‒robot interactions • The impact of haptic feedback and touch on human‒robot interaction • The role of robot attractiveness on human‒robot interaction • Ethics on human‒robot interactions • Social-emotional models of human‒robot interaction • Theoretical frameworks for human‒robot interaction • Case studies of human‒robot interaction • Design implications for robot interactions at home, work and public spaces • Human-oriented practices that promote human‒robot interactions • New methodological approaches to studying human‒robot interactions Important Dates: • Submission Opens: April 20, 2020 • Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST • Notice of Acceptance: August 17, 2020 • Camera-ready Version Deadline: September 22, 2020 • Registration Deadline: October 1, 2020 Mini-track Co-Chairs: • Sangseok You, HEC Paris, you(a)hec.fr • Lionel Robert, University of Michigan, lprobert(a)umich.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
