Panels are a unique opportunity to pull together a diverse range of experts who can offer contrasting viewpoints and positions. Ideally, panel proposals will have 3-4 participants who represent a diversity of ideas and approaches related to a given topic. Topics should be novel, lively, or controversial, inspiring the audience to respond and further elaborate on ideas. Panels should be facilitated by a strong moderator who will guide the conversation and the audience in expressing their opinions. In addition, we encourage panel organizers to think creatively about how they will facilitate audience interaction in the discussions. Submission Information ECSCW research is not limited geographically, therefore, we invite proposals from all over the globe. We encourage organisers to include diversity of genders, experiences, nationalities, languages, races, and ethnicities in their panels. Proposals may include: * Topics that are likely to evoke lively debates among ECSCW attendees * Diverse set of panelists, each with their own unique perspective on the topic * Well-structured session plan emphasizing audience interaction (e.g., structured in terms of questions for panelists and audience) * Content that is not necessarily suitable as a paper Submissions of 2-4 pages should be sent via email at panels(a)ecscw.eusset.eu <mailto:panels@ecscw.eusset.eu>. Please follow the exploratory papers template for your proposals.

Big data systems are software applications that process and potentially generate big data. Such applications receive and process data from various diverse (usually distributed) sources, such as sensors, devices, whole networks, social networks, mobile devices or devices in an Internet-of-Things. They process high workloads of data and handle high requests for data. The idea is to use large amounts of data strategically and efficiently to provide additional intelligence. This book will explore software engineering of big data systems, including topics related to requirements as well as architecture, detailed design, implementation, maintenance and operations. Software engineering is the application of a systematic approach to designing, operating and maintaining software systems and the study of all the activities involved in achieving the same. The software engineering discipline and research into software systems flourished with the advent of computers and the technological revolution ushered in by the World Wide Web and the Internet. Software systems have grown dramatically to the point of becoming ubiquitous. They have a significant impact on the global economy and on how we interact and communicate with each other and with computers using software in our daily lives. However, there have been major changes in the type of software systems developed over the years. In the past decade owing to breakthrough advancements in cloud and mobile computing technologies, unprecedented volumes of hitherto inaccessible data, referred to as big data, has become available to technology companies and business organizations farsighted and discerning enough to use it to create new products, and services generating astounding profits. This book will focus on several research challenges of software engineering for developing big data systems, in particular by: - surveying the existing software engineering literature on applying software engineering principles into developing and supporting big data systems - identifying the fields of application for big data software systems - investigating the software engineering knowledge areas that have seen research related to big data systems - revealing the gaps in the knowledge areas that require more focus for big data systems development - determining the open research challenges in each software engineering knowledge area that need to be met. BACKGROUND TOPICS All chapters should consider the practical application of the topic through case studies, experiments, empirical validation, or systematic comparisons with other data systems, as well as allow further approaches already in practice. The book intends to discuss systematic and disciplined approaches to building big data systems, dissemination of the state-of-the-art methods and techniques for representing and evaluating these systems. FORMAT ------------------ Chapters are invited that synthesize existing knowledge on relevant background topics and application areas in software engineering of big systems. Chapters should be accessible to senior undergraduate students and graduate students with a background in Computer Science, Information Science, Software Engineering, Software Architecture, Systems Engineering, Requirements Engineering, Software Design or related disciplines. Chapters are not expected to correspond to the description of a single research project or technique. Each chapter should clearly highlight three to five take-away messages or key lessons at the beginning of the chapter.

Please consider submitting your paper to our minitrack on how analytics, AI and other Epistemic Technologies transform organizing at AMCIS 2020. This minitrack aims to explore how the use of new epistemic technologies in organizations influence key aspects of organizing, including processes of information processing, insight generation, decision making, organizational structuring, and strategizing. We define epistemic technologies as tools that play a key part in the ongoing construction of knowledge (Anthony 2018). Such technologies include, for example, big data analytics tools, Artificial Intelligence tools, augmented reality applications, and technologies that leverage the Internet of Things (IoT). The reliance of these new epistemic technologies on data and algorithms poses unique challenges for organizations and has given rise to several debates in the academic community (Günther et al. 2017). The emergence of new epistemic technologies calls for a better understanding of distinct digital practices that are enacted as organizations actually leverage such technologies in practice (Baiyere et al. 2017), as well as how this may or may not allow organizations to actually create social and economic value (Sumbal et al. 2019). To understand how organizations may leverage such technologies requires examinations of the processes around the information value chain (Abbasi et al. 2016) as they take place in organizational context. The minitrack is open to any methodology that suitably examines the phenomenon including quantitative, qualitative as well as conceptual papers. We highly value work that takes a longitudinal perspective and aims to understand how organizations, and people, actually work with epistemic technologies in practice. In doing so, scholars may rely on different types of data and a range of (mixed) methods, such as qualitative observations, document content analysis, and advanced analytical techniques to model and understand people's actions and behavior. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary studies that bridge the domains of organizational theory and information systems as well as information sciences. Overall, this mini-track endeavors to initiate a discussion about the use of new epistemic technologies, thereby going beyond the examination of these technologies at discrete level (Sharma, Mithas & Kankanhalli 2014) as many anecdotal examples suggest that the incumbent firms fail to reap benefits of these technologies against the promise (Bean & Devenport 2019; Marchand & Peppard 2013; Sumbal et al. 2019). Broadly the topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Data-driven decision-making v/s intuition-based decision-making in organizations * New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational decision-making processes * New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational decision-making structure * New epistemic technologies and transformation of strategizing / strategy making processes * New epistemic technologies and transformation of organizational as well as individual identity * New epistemic technologies and the emergence of data science as a new occupation * New epistemic technologies and insights generation processes Submission Process: Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020 Manuscript Submission Site https://new.precisionconference.com/ais<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnew.preci…>.
