DHAASS, which will be held July 8-9, 2020, aims to bring together leading researchers, community leaders and visionaries from academia and industry, end-users, and healthcare professionals, in the area of digital health to share their research, practical experience, and visions of the future of sustainable health and social care transformations. About DHAASS Looking at the health and integrated care system through services’ spectacles reveal significant opportunities for engaging digital health to affect an ecosystem shift in which a new health delivery model is unleashed. Engaging multiple and new roles, including communities and individual patients in their own integrated healthcare services delivery is one of the promising opportunities which can be made possible by the microservices structuring of the health and care system . Broadly speaking, related discovery, composition and provision of healthcare services will need to be based on cutting-edge computer technologies and digital media/data so that quality factors including timing, granularity, scale, cost-effectiveness, safety, security, privacy, and precision are integral parts of the healthcare value chain ecosystem. Digital Health services can include, among many other innovative methods, preventive and predictive capabilities of machine learning based data analytics, actionable recommendations based on in-situ monitoring and assessment of an individual’s real-time physical and cognitive performance, trade-off analysis between cloud-based versus edge-based sensory data streaming and data analytics. Scope DHAASS will embrace a broad spectrum of issues and concerns, including, but not limited to, the following topics related to digital health as services: • Microservices models and architectures of health and integrated care services • Disease/condition-specific provider microservice design (e.g., diabetes, obesity, COPD, dementia, post cancer treatment, allergies, Ear, Nose and Throat Conditions (ENT)) • Patient/user-side microservices design (user needs, social isolation, assistive living for older adults and individuals with special needs, emergencies) • Standardizing provider-side and user-side microservices. FHIR resources, profiles and extension for digital health as a service • Microservices-based delivery pathways co-design and provider acceptability • Informatic, cybernetic and mediatic digital health platforms supportive of implementing microservices architecture • Community crowd-sourcing for delivery of health and care microservices • Microservices crowd-sourcing platforms • Worker training and selection, reputation management, and micropayments • Mediation technology for peer group support (peer-sourcing) • Qualifying and activating user-side microservice requests: eligibility, fairness, properness, among other qualifications including irrational service user models (e.g., a dementia patient requesting the microservice repeatedly and forgetfully) • mHealth services and applications which include the use of mobile devices o in collecting community and clinical health data, delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers and patients, • for real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and the direct provision of care (via mobile telemedicine) • for training and collaboration of health workers. • Health economics of microservices-oriented care delivery systems o Scalability issues for adopting digital health as services • Empirical study on savings in unit and total cost realized by patient and community engagement Submissions Submitted papers must be solely the work of the author(s), must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Horn clause theories are famous for their well-understood declarative semantics, in which models of logic programs are given inductively or coinductively. At the same time, Horn clauses give rise to efficient inference procedures, usually involving resolution. Logic programming found applications in type inference, verification, and AI. While logic programming was originally conceived for describing simple facts, it was extended to account for much more complex theories. This includes higher-order theories, inductive and coinductive data, and stochastic/probabilistic theories. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers that work on extensions of logic programming and inference methods, and to foster an exchange of methods and applications that have emerged in different communities. Topics --------------------------- The central idea of this workshop is to discuss the theory of logic programming and associated topics that have as well the goal to automatically infer knowledge and proofs. Our intention is to bring together researchers that work on the numerous topics that contribute to automatic proof inference and foster an exchange that may lead to advances in the theory of logic programming. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Proof theory (e.g. focalised and uniform proofs), * Logic programming beyond the classical Horn clause theories (e.g. coinduction, higher-order Horn clauses, probabilities, categorical logic, inductive LP), * Extensions of logic programming (e.g. DataLog, description logic, relational programming), * Advanced implementations (e.g. λProlog, ELPI, miniKanren), * Type theory (e.g. polarised λ-calculus, proofs-as-programs, types for logic programming), * Semantics (e.g. classical, categorical, algebraic, coalgebraic) , and * Applications. Venue and Event --------------------------- TEASE-LP 2020 will be held in Dublin, Ireland, co-located with ETAPS 2020 on 25 April 2020. Important Dates --------------------------- Abstract submission Wednesday, 26 February 2020 AoE Notification Wednesday, 25 March 2020 AoE Camera-ready copy Wednesday, 1 April 2020 AoE Workshop Saturday, 25 April 2020 Programme Committee --------------------------- Henning Basold (chair), Leiden University, NLD William Byrd, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA Gopal Gupta, The University of Texas at Dallas, USA Ekaterina Komendantskaya (chair), Heriot-Watt University, GBR Dale Miller, INRIA and LIX/Ecole Polytechnique, FRA Gopalan Nadathur, University of Minnesota, USA Frank Pfenning, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Hiroshi Unno, University of Tsukuba, JPN Noam Zeilberger, University of Birmingham, GBR Submission Instructions --------------------------- Since the aim of the workshop is to foster exchange and discussions on trends, extensions, applications and semantics of logic programming, we invite presentations of possibly already published as well as ongoing work. Submissions should be abstracts of at most two pages in EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/) and will be only be published in the informal pre-proceedings and on the website of the workshop.

This year, the minitracks seek to attract papers related to*agile methods, business process management, digital disruption, digital platforms, smart services and start-up*s. The general minitrack is also open for further topics related to the track's theme. *Track description:* By adopting, adapting, or developing Information Systems (IS), organizations and their IS continually undergo a considerable transformation often referred to as “digital transformation”. As a result, information systems, business models, business processes, and end-user workplaces are perpetually analyzed, rethought, and changed. Nowadays, many systems in organizations are already interconnected to form inter-organizational IS, contributing to a complex IS landscape in current organizations. This renews the importance of analyzing the interplay between IS and organizations from socio-technical and end-user perspectives and the implications of changing IS on end-users and customers, who are increasingly technologically savvy and immersed in this digital transformation. *Minitracks of the track "Organizational Transformation & Information Systems":* - Minitrack 1: *Disruptive Start-ups and Traditional Companies* (MT co-chairs: Heiko Gewald, Heinz-Theo Wagner, Daniel Gozman) - Minitrack 2: *Digital Transformation through Agile Methods* (MT co-chairs: Andreas Drechsler, Bettina Horlach) - Minitrack 3: *Digital Transformation through Smart Services* (MT co-chairs: Thang Le Dinh, Jolita Ralyté, Thoa Pham) - Minitrack 4: *Business Process Management and Changes* (MT co-chairs: Joseph Nwankpa, Yaman Roumani) - Minitrack 5:SIG OSRA General Minitrack (MT co-chairs: Elizabeth Regan, João Porto de Albuquerque, Vincent Dutot) - Minitrack 6: *Digital Transformation through Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Other Epistemic Technologies*(MT co-chairs: Wendy Günther, Mayur Joshi) - Minitrack 7: *Digital Transformation and Capitalizing on Digital Disruption*(MT co-chairs: Abayomi Baiyere, Daniel Fürstenau) - Minitrack 8: *Digital Transformation through Digital Platforms*(MT co-chairs: Anna Sigridur Islind, Alexander Kempton) *Please find the full description of the minitracks on the AMCIS 2020 website:* https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-19 * Important dates:* - February 28, 2020 AMCIS manuscript submissions closes for authors at 5:00pm MST - April 13, 2020 Track Chairs recommendations are due - April 22, 2020 Camera-ready papers are due Sincerely, Paul Drews, Elaine Mosconi, Frank Ulbrich, Lauri Wessel AMCIS 2020 Track Organizational Transformation & Information Systems (SIG OSRA) Co-Chairs Lauri Wessel ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Prof. Dr. Lauri Wessel Professor of Management and Organization Faculty 7: Business Studies and Economics, University of Bremen Enrique-Schmidt-Straße 1 (WIWI 1), Room A2340 28359 Bremen, Germany Tel.: 0049-421-218 66600 Email: _lauri.wessel(a)uni-bremen.de <mailto:lauri.wessel@uni-bremen.de>_ Web: _www.mo.uni-bremen.de <http://www.mo.uni-bremen.de>_ *_Check out our latest publications:_* *Wessel, L.,* Davidson, E.; Barquet, A., Rothe, H., Peters, O., Megges, H.

We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in organizing strong workshops and tutorials. Ideally, each workshop/tutorial should be full or half-day. Workshops and tutorials will take place on Monday and Friday surrounding the main conference. We will interact with workshop organizers in due time to define the schedule of the sessions and coffee breaks as well as room logistics. Please submit your workshop/tutorial proposals as soon as possible. We will try to decide as early as possible on workshop/tutorial acceptance in order to give the organizers more time to solicit papers.Workshop descriptions, workshop papers, and tutorial abstracts are part of the ACSOS Companion Volume that will be published alongside the ACSOS main proceedings. Workshop papers should have a maximum of six pages. Workshop descriptions should have a maximum of two pages. The workshop description should introduce the workshop topics and summarise the papers accepted for the workshop. Tutorial abstract should be a maximum of one pageand will be included in the ACSOS Companion Volume. A higher page limit and/or additional extra paid pages may be possible subject to the approval by the proceedings chair. *** Workshop Proposals ***Proposals for workshops should be organized as a preliminary call for papers or call for participation, depending on the intended format of the workshop, with a maximum of two pages and contain the following information: - Title of the workshop.- A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop goals, the technical issues that it will address, and the relevance of the workshop to the main conference.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ACM SIGMIS CPR2020 CFP - Extended due date to Feb 3rd Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2020 22:37:33 +0000 From: Dr. Indira Guzman <Indira.Guzman(a)trident.edu> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research 2020 Digital Innovation: Designing our Digital Future Location: Nuremburg, Germany Dates: June, 19-21, 2020 Conference website: http://sigmis.org/sigcpr2020/ Printable CFP: Download the SIGMIS CPR 2020 Call for Papers<http://sigmis.org/ACM_SIGMIS_CPR_Call2020.pdf> Submission System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmsigmiscpr2020conf <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmsigmiscpr2020conf> IMPORTANT DATES Posters and Doctoral Consortium Academic Papers Submission deadline: January 15 February 3, 2020 January 15 February 3, 2020 Notification of acceptance: March 2 March 13, 2020 March 2 March 13, 2020 Camera-ready version: March 23 April 1, 2020 For over 55 years, ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research (CPR) conference has engaged the academic and practitioner communities in understanding issues pertaining to the intersection of information technology (IT) and people. From its roots in the studies of the IT workforce, CPR has broadened its focus to investigate all aspects of this important and complex relationship. We are delighted to welcome the 2020 ACM SIGMIS CPR conference to Nuremberg, Germany, in June 2020. Early implementations of information systems were designed to automate administrative and transactional work by utilizing large enterprise systems. Now digital technologies are ubiquitous; influencing every aspect of society, work, and life. Societies, organizations, and individuals now face many new dilemmas, new questions, and new uncertainties. As digital technologies infuse and shape our daily lives, many of our core theoretical perspectives are derived from a time when computers were new and unknown to many organizations and people. The context of digital innovations provides CPR research opportunities to develop new theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. Such approaches may require novel concepts, models, and methods to understand how societies, organizations, and individuals apply, share, adopt and are impacted by digital innovation to build a digital future. Hence, there is a need for research at the intersection of societies, organizations, and individuals as well as the people being in charge of the digital innovation process and those who are educating the digital creators and leaders of the future. Therefore, the CPR 2020 conference seeks papers addressing, but not limited to the following questions: Individual * What leads to individuals adopting or resisting the use of digital innovations? * What are the impacts of emerging technologies on individuals? * How does the design of a digital innovation impact acceptance and/or resistance? * How do individual humans interact with robotic co-workers or services? Organizational * How can organizations understand emerging technologies and their potential risks and opportunities? * How can organizations enable incremental and disruptive digital innovation? * What is the business value of digital innovations? From what does this value derive? * Will emerging IT enable new organizational forms? What are those forms? * How does the interaction of IT and people impact innovation, and how is innovation impacted by this interaction? * How does IT impact entrepreneurial activities? Societal * How does and will digital innovation impact the nature of work? * How can we address various digital divides? Workforce * What are the best ways to organize IT work to enable digital innovation? * What factors impact retention and turnover in the IT workforce? * What unique challenges exist for managing IT workers, and how do we meet those challenges? * Why are some demographic groups under-represented in the IT workforce? * What are the characteristics of the IT workforce? How are these characteristics changing? * What are the key skills for entry into the IT workforce? How are these skills changing? * What ethical issues result from embedding IT in work? * What security and privacy issues result from embedding IT in work? Education * How do we help students develop the skills needed for entry into, and success in the IT workforce and digital innovation? * How can we attract promising students to IS programs? * How should IS programs deal with emerging technologies and digital innovation? * How should IS programs differentiate themselves from computer science, analytics, data science and other overlapping programs with regard to digital innovation? * How can universities best prepare students for careers in IS and IT? In addition to the conference theme, we also invite submissions to a general IS track that broadly addresses issues at the intersection of information technology and people. Format of Submissions ACM SIGMIS CPR 2020 welcomes both completed papers and research-in-progress papers, (which may be accepted as posters), and submissions designated as posters. All papers must be original, unpublished elsewhere, and submitted on the ACM SIG proceedings template available for download from: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Reviews will be double-blind. * Completed papers may include conceptual papers, empirical papers and industry case studies. They must not exceed 5000 words including all text, figures, and tables. The abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. * Research-in-progress papers must not exceed 2000 words including all text, figures, and tables. The abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. * Poster presentations must not exceed 500 words and should provide a comprehensive overview of the topic, research approach, findings to date (if any) and future plans for project. * Panels: Ideas for interesting panels related to the conference theme should be submitted directly to Sven Laumer (sven.laumer(a)fau.de<mailto:sven.laumer@fau.de>). Doctoral Consortium In conjunction with the CPR 2020 conference, a doctoral consortium will take place on the opening day of the conference. This doctoral consortium is intended for students at any stage of their dissertation research. This could include those students who are in the early stages of writing their dissertation proposal, through to those who are writing up their findings. Students interested in participating in the SIGMIS CPR doctoral consortium should be conducting research on a topic related to the conference theme or to the broad CPR focus on intersection of information technology and people. The purpose of the consortium is two-fold: 1. Provide feedback and guidance to students on their proposal while at a stage where feedback can be considered for future dissertation work. 2. Provide mentoring and networking opportunities to students who wish to pursue careers as researchers at the intersection of information systems and people. Doctoral students interested in the consortium must submit an application package which includes: (1) a nomination letter, (2) an application letter from doctoral students, (3) 1/2 page executive summary of the project, ans (4) a research proposal. Students nominated for the consortium by their faculty sponsor should submit the nomination letter and a 10-page research proposal together via email (sigmisacm(a)gmail.com<mailto:sigmisacm@gmail.com>) by the due date (February 3rd, 2020). Nomination Letter. Doctoral students may be nominated to the consortium by any faculty sponsor such as their dissertation chair, coursework advisor or a faculty member with whom the student is conducting research. The nomination letter must indicate the student is in good standing in their program, the sponsor's relationship with the student (eg. advisor, chair, instructor), the student's status in terms of completion of their dissertation (eg. proposal stage, pre-proposal, etc.), and potential value in attending. Application Letter. Students must submit an applicaiton letter describing why they would benefit from attending, along with specifics on personal learning objectives, and at least two challenges or questions they seek assistance with. Executive Summary. The 1/2 page should be suitable for sharing with other doctoral attendees and/or publication in the Proceedings if accepted. (Brief statement of Research Question, Motivation, Theoretical foundation, Methodology, Early Findings if applicable.) Research Proposal. The student's research proposal should be 11pt font, double spaced; the 10 pages excludes figures and references. The document must clearly articulate the goal and motivation of the research, the theories and literature that guide the research, the methodology being used or under consideration, and early findings if available. The application package will be reviewed by a panel of highly qualified senior faculty mentors. The doctoral students selected to participate in the doctoral consortium will receive one round of written feedback on their proposal prior to the conference. At the conference, each student will present their research ideas or questions and engage in discussion with faculty and fellow consortium participants. The doctoral consortium will allow activities in plenary mode and intense workshop sessions in smaller groups. * Accepted students may choose to publish an extended abstract of their proposal in the conference proceedings. * Funding will be available to assist with travel and registration fees to students selected for the doctoral consortium. If you have any questions you may contact any of the doctoral consortium co-chairs. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the refereed conference proceedings, which will be distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers may choose to publish complete papers or extended abstracts of their research in the conference proceedings. All completed research papers that are to be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings will be considered for the Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper of the Year Award. The Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper and other exemplar papers will be invited for publication in the DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems-the quarterly journal publication of ACM SIGMIS. Articles will not be published in the event proceedings if at least one author of a submitted work is unable to present their article at the conference. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Proceedings of all previous CPR conferences are available in the ACM Digital Library at http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm. Conference Location Nuremberg is an early center of humanism and science. For example, the city contributed much to the science of astronomy. In 1471 an astronomical observatory was built in Nuremberg, in 1515, Albrecht Dürer, a native of Nuremberg, created woodcuts of the first maps of the stars of the northern and southern hemispheres and the main part of Nicolaus Copernicus's work was published in Nuremberg in 1543. Moreover, sculptors such as Veit Stoss, Adam Kraft and Peter Vischer are also associated with Nuremberg. Richard Wagner made Nuremburg's most famous native, Hans Sachs, the hero of his opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. The first documented mention of the city was in 1050, noting Nuremberg as the location of an Imperial castle, which is still today one of the main tourist attraction. Beyond its main attractions, there are 54 different museums for arts and culture, history, science and technology, toys, family and children, where visitors can see the world's oldest globe (built in 1492), a 500-year-old Madonna, and Renaissance-era German art. After World War II, the town was rebuilt with the charm of a medieval Bavarian village. It has since been dubbed the "most German of German cities". Nuremberg is also famous for its Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas market), which draws well over a million shoppers each year. The market is famous for its handmade ornaments and delicacies, which can also be bought in the summer. Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. The Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions - the Nuremberg rallies. Therefore, the city provided the site for the Nuremberg trials, which held to account many major Nazi officials. Both sites can still be visited and there is a visitors center that explains Nurembergs role during Nazi Germany. There are many institutions of higher education in the city, most notably the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), with 39,780 students (2017) Bavaria's third and Germany's 11th largest university with campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg and a university hospital in Erlangen (Universitätsklinikum Erlangen). FAU is Germany's most innovative university and 2nd in Europe. Nuremberg is also a destination for food lovers. Culinary tourists can taste the city's famous lebkuchen, gingerbread, local beer, and Nürnberger Rostbratwürstche, or Nuremberg sausages. The social event of the conference will provide an opportunity to taste typical local food. Nuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg "Albrecht Dürer") is the second-busiest airport of Bavaria after Munich Airport, and the tenth-busiest airport of Germany. It provides connections to all major airport hubs in Europe (e.g. Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Istanbul) and is easily reached from all over the world.
