Workshop on ISE for Smarter Life (joined to CAiSE 2020) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 13:56:18 +0100 From: Elena Kornyshova <elena.kornyshova(a)cnam.fr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. *CALL FOR PAPERS* *First International Workshop on Information Systems Engineering for Smarter Life 2020 (ISESL 2020)*** /Joined to CAiSE 2020, Grenoble, France, June 8-9, 2020/ / / In the era of Digitalization, new technologies (Internet of Things, Augmented reality, Cyber-Physical Systems, Cloud Computing, and so on) change not only enterprises and organizations functioning, but also all aspects of human life: robots assisted disabled people, smart buildings, digital enhanced visits for heritage, serious games for learning… the list is long. These various technologies are intended to improve or enhance life of humans. In one way or another, they contribute to a smarter life. Until now, digital technologies have been brought into the game as silo solutions. Reasoning holistically about information in the context of a bank or a manufacturing plant is routine practice. However, it is less common with emerging technologies for everyday life public digital application. We deeply believe that methods, models and techniques inherited from IS engineering research could considerably improve the way human interact with the digital world and would change the user experience. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in the application of disruptive technologies to Smarter Life. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to, the application and emerging concepts of rising digital technologies to different fields of life through the perspective of information systems: ·Cultural Heritage, ·Traditional and Urban Farming, ·Patient Experience Design and Health, ·Sustainable Development ·Digital Education and Teaching Experience Design for World Wide Audience, ·Smart Home/ Smart Buildings and so on. As this holistic approach mixing human life and digital systems is a challenge for the 21st century and the society we are building, we are also inviting contributions about: ·Societal Applications of Robots, ·Serious Games and User Experience, ·Performance Augmentation for Individuals and Groups, ·Social Networks for Smarter Life, ·Sustainable Artificial Intelligence, ·Ethical and Philosophical Aspects of New Technologies Usage with Humans. We invite both research and practice-oriented papers focused on digitalization of various aspects of life. *Submission:* The length of the paper should not exceed 12 pages (including all text, figures, references and appendices) for full papers, or 6 pages for short papers.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: JMWAIS Special Issue on Information Security and Privacy - The Challenge of New Technologies
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: JMWAIS Special Issue on Information Security and Privacy - The Challenge of New Technologies Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 15:48:19 +0000 From: Biros, David <david.biros(a)okstate.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE JOURNAL OF THE MIDWEST ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JMWAIS) THEME: INFORMATION SECURITY AND PRIVACY - THE CHALLENGE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES Description: The recent proliferation of new information technologies such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), cryptocurrencies, blockchain and cloud storage and computing have created new challenges for advocates of information security and privacy. Traditional controls such as demilitarized zones, intrusion detection systems, patch management systems, and firewalls may not be sufficient to protect data, systems, and privacy. Existing research extolls the benefits of these new technologies in a variety of scenarios and contexts. Smart home automation can be beneficial to the handicapped and elderly. Home security camera can protect property and belongings, and have even been used to help law enforcement solve crimes. Wearable technologies like smart watches with ECG technology can warn users when a serious health issue may be present. Other new technologies like cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin) and cloud computing promise new opportunities for business and commerce. However, research to date has yet to consider the security and privacy implications of these promising new technologies. For example, recent news reports of major data breach in fitness-tracking apps (Dickey 2018) and wearable devices data compromising the location of secret military bases (Taylor 2018) underscore the security consequences and instigate a lack of trust. It has been reported that an AI algorithm lead to the erroneous firing of teachers (Thomas 2019). In another report, a company AI human resource recruiting initiative concluded that all female applicants were unacceptable for corporate leadership positions (Harrer 2018). In other cases, home security camera that are easy for users to install are also easy for hackers to exploit. Along with the security implications are the privacy issues. Wearables and other IoT devices enable the collection of vast amounts of data involving millions of people. Users need to understand these privacy implications in order to make informed choices with respect to the devices used and configured. This special issue calls for research papers that investigate the information security and privacy challenges that accompany the new generation of technologies. We seek completed research papers in topics including but not limited to: * Privacy and Security risks posed by home automation on personal data. * Proliferation of security risks posed by home automation to organizations. * Future of cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism in the age of ubiquitous technologies. * Privacy and Security risks posed by wearables on personal health information. * Policy considerations for new technologies such as IoT * Privacy and Security risks posed by cryptocurrencies on financial information. * Policy considerations for cryptocurrencies. * Implications of sharing economy on information privacy and security. * Feasibility of expansion of existing security controls to IoT. * Privacy and Security standards in IoT-enabled devices that contain cameras and microphones. * Ownership and Informed consent of information generated by IoT and Ubiquitous technologies * Security Implications of novel financial technologies (FinTech) including mobile payments and blockchain. * Security considerations for cloud computing and storage * Cloud storage security configurations * Legal and contractual issues in cloud storage * Security implications when aggregating large data sets for analytics * Public knowledge and perceptions of artificial intelligence * Ethical issues of artificial intelligence and machine learning * Risks and mitigation strategies for artificial intelligence and machine learning * Unintended consequence of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP 1st International Workshop on Next Generation Information Systems: Modeling, Monitoring and Management in Cloud and Fog Computing (NeGIS 2020) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 17:29:15 +0100 From: Monica Vitali <monica.vitali(a)polimi.it> Reply-To: Monica Vitali <monica.vitali(a)polimi.it> Dear Colleagues, this is an invitation to submit a research paper to the NeGIS workshop at CAiSE'20. I hope this can be of interest to you. You are kindly invited to spread the information. CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================== 1st International Workshop on Next Generation Information Systems: Modeling, Monitoring and Management in Cloud and Fog Computing (NeGIS 2020) Co-located with CAiSE'20 June 9th 2020 Grenoble, France ========================================================== SCOPE ====== The amount of data and services supported by Information Systems (ISs) has increased exponentially during the last few years. To improve their efficiency and reduce costs, modern organizations have been shifting their services, with part of their ISs, to the Cloud. More recent developments have shown an inversion towards decentralization and distribution of applications and services in the huge pool of devices and computing facilities available nearer to the customers. This shift is due to the impact of Internet of Things, which is further increasing the amount of data to be stored and computed. Fog Computing is the last frontier for ISs, where data and services can be moved in the continuum of resources between the cloud and the edge. In this workshop, we aim to collect contributions investigating issues related to the management of cloud and fog computing in modern information systems with a focus, but not limited, on energy efficiency, security, and privacy, their relations and trade-off with other requirements such as response time and throughput. In doing so, we are considering both the application components of the information system with their complexity, as well as the management of the data used by such applications. We also consider the impact of the human in the loop, looking at how the awareness and the behaviors of users and designers in socio-technical systems can affect the effective adoption of energy and security policies. Topics include but are not limited to: - Modelling Cloud and Fog computing solutions for modern Information Systems - Monitoring and Managing Information Systems in Cloud and Fog Computing - Models, methods, and tools for data management in Cloud and Fog Computing - Energy-awareness and sustainability in Information Systems: metrics and measurements - Quality of Service, energy efficiency and security in Mobile Edge Computing - Methodologies and tools for energy efficiency and security compliance in Cloud and Fog computing - Adaptive approaches to manage energy consumption, QoS, and security of applications and systems - Energy and Security aware blockchain solutions - Energy and security requirements in Information Systems and Socio-Technical Systems Energy and security behaviours in Socio-Technical Systems Negis2020 will be co-located in Grenoble with the 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems (CAISE'20, 8-12 June 2020). BEST PAPER AWARD ================= The best paperwill be considered for publication in a high level international journal. To be selected the paper must include a validation of the proposed approach. The authors of the paper selected as best paper will have to provide an extended version for submission to a fast evaluation track. KEY DATES ========= Abstract submission: 20th February 2020 Full paper submissions: 26th February 2020 Notification of acceptance: 1st April 2020 Camera-ready copies: 7th April 2020 Workshop: 9th June 2020 SUBMISSION ========== Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2020 The workshop is addressed to researchers with a strong background in the field of Modeling, Monitoring and Management of information systems in Cloud and Fog Computing.

Authors are encouraged to identify and investigate three specific problem areas in finance that affect modern organizations: technology (“FinTech”), analytics and messy data. What are the problems and solutions in these areas? What can researchers do to move beyond the current state of research and practice concerning these IS-relevant issues? In what ways do specified problems impact important IS theories and streams, such as the productivity paradox, IT business value, and information economics? What are the pros and cons and comparative performance of any proposed solutions? These are the types of questions that may be explored in this mini-track. We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research addressing the conference theme, New Frontiers in Digital Convergence. Therefore, we hold at a premium papers advancing our understanding of organizations engaged in digital convergence for value creation. In particular, we are interested in information technology firms since they engage in digital convergence out of competitive necessity. We encourage thought provoking papers utilizing the wealth of archival data (e.g., Compustat and CRSP) accessible by many in the IS research community. We especially value thought provoking papers pushing known boundaries of the three mentioned FIT themes (FinTech, analytics and messy data) in order to improve IS practice. For these reasons, we are interested in high quality papers that illuminates and addresses the effects of the following issues (among others) on modern organizations: FinTech * Finance-Technology alignment * Resistance to change * Barriers to innovation * Systems scalability * FinTech success * Outsourcing FinTech * Issues specific to FinTech firms * Compliance management * FinTech application frontiers * Blockchain and cryptography Financial Analytics * Workflows * Queries * Data storage * Analytical efficiency and economics * Analytical skills * Data security and privacy * User-friendliness of big data * Artificial intelligence and machine learning * Big data analytics * Analytical procedures Messy Financial Data * Non-normality * Missing data * Imputation * Inflated frequencies * Variables with low levels (i.e. binary) * Outliers * Negative denominators * Measurement bias * Illogical values Mini-Track co-chairs Gary Templeton, Mississippi State University gft4(a)msstate.edu Brian Blank, Mississippi State University dblank(a)business.msstate.edu Andrew Miller, Mississippi State University asm357(a)msstate.edu Martin Kang, Mississippi State University mkang(a)business.msstate.edu Submission Instructions: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/ Important Dates: January 6, 2020: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2020 begin February 28, 2020: Manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST March 5, 2020: All papers have assigned reviewers April 24, 2020: Revised, camera-ready papers are due _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

The goal of DCPerf is to promote a community-wide discussion to identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable performance optimizations. Submissions on any topics of datacenter, cloud and bigdata performance are welcome. Submission site will remain open until Jan. 8th, 2020. Cloud data centers are the backbone infrastructure for tomorrow's information technology. Their advantages are efficient resource provisioning and low operational costs for supporting a wide range of computing needs, be it in business, scientific or mobile/pervasive environments. Because of the rapid growth in user-defined and user-generated applications and content, the range of services provided at data centers will expand tremendously and unpredictably. Particularly, big data applications and services, e.g., social and environmental sensing, and IoT monitoring, present a unique class of challenges in the Cloud. In addition, the high volume of mixed workloads and the diversity of services offered render the performance optimization of data centers even more challenging. Moreover, important optimization criteria, such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs, are often conflicting. The increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas adds another dimension to optimizing big data and cloud applications. The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems for hosting big data analytics in the cloud. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Big data applications and services - Emerging IoT applications - Data flow management - Processing platforms - Empirical studies - Cloud systems - Novel architectures - Resource allocation - Content distribution - Evaluation/modeling methodology - Big data and cloud performance - Cost/pricing design - Power/energy management - Reliability/dependability - Performance evaluation/modeling - Big data in the cloud - Intra/Inter communication - Network protocols - Security - Real-time analytics Important Dates: Full Paper Submission: Jan. 20th, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 15th, 2020 Final Manuscript Due: March 6, 2020 Submission Guideline: Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11-inch format. Accepted papers will be published in the combined INFOCOM 2020 Workshop proceedings and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore. Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The reviews will be single blinded. Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files via EDAS link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26866&track=99584 Committee: General Chair Wanyang Dai, Department of Mathematics, Nanjing University, China TPC co-Chairs Peter Mueller, IBM Research Zurich Lab, Switzerland Rui Han, School of Computer Science&Technology, Beijing Instititute of Technology

For further information, please visit http://endsofthehumanities.com/wp/travel-grants/ Digitization and the rise of artificial intelligence forecast radical change on all aspects of human practice, especially given the ever-improving abilities of algorithms in tasks like pattern recognition and their practical application. Powerful technology arises from AI research, opening the gate for various forms of cultural and societal engineering, i.e., a reshaping of culture and society by dint of algorithmic models and ‘intelligent’ applications. Although the development of artificial intelligence is still in its beginnings, it has already triggered an enormous rush of utopian and dystopian thinking. While some dream of immortality and the vanquishing of poverty, disease, and warfare, others foresee a grim future for those parts of humanity that will find themselves outpaced by technology. Potential consequences of the changes imposed by technological advancement on human practice reach from the level of the individual, through cultural techniques, to the organization of society as a whole, raising fundamental questions which we will address in the four sections of the conference resp. special events. Special events are planned by the AI-team around the topics "Social robotics" and "A technological roadmap for AI after 2050". We consider a special issue of a high-ranked journal for extended versions of high-quality computer-science-oriented contributions. More information will be provided in the coming months. Invited speakers include, among others: -------------------------------------- - Armin Grunwald (Head of Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis, KIT, Karlsruhe ) - Koen V. Hindriks (Prof. Artificial intelligence, VU Amsterdam, focusing on Social Robotics, Co-Founder "Interactive Robotics") - Lyse Langlois (Scientific director of the International Observatory of the Societal Impact of AI and Digitization, Université Laval) Luís Moniz Pereira (Prof. emeritus of Computer Science at the New university of Lisbon, author of several books on Machine Ethics) - Giuseppe Longo (Prof. emeritus, Centre Cavaillès, CNRS, Collège de France & Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris) - Jan Broersen (Professor of logical methods in AI, University of Utrecht, ERC on Responsible Intelligent Systems 2013-18) - Raja Chatila (Sorbonne, Paris, Professor and director of the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics) - Marija Slavkovik (Associate Professor, University of Bergen, Norway, Advisory group on Ethical, Legal, Social Issues of CLAIRE) Conference sections: -------------------- • Section I – Mind and Consciousness: How does artificial intelligence impact our understanding of the human mind, especially in relation to the role of its computational equivalents that reach more and more aspects of everyday life (e.g., chatbots, driverless mobility, risk assessment software in the banking and insurance sector)? • Section II – Learning and Inventing What are the consequences of digitization and machine learning algorithms for education and our understanding of learning and creativity (e.g., in schooling through adaptive tutors, but also against the background of our current notion of creativity as a unique human ability)? • Section III – Reading and Data Modeling How will the increasing use of computational methodology change the ways we relate to the past and envision the future (e.g., by reading), both in academia and in society? How can the enrichment of algorithmic models with methods and results from the humanities shape and improve computational assessment of human practice (e.g., data mining of big text corpora, automated translation, racial bias in neural networks)? • Section IV – Complexity and Control: How does the use of artificial intelligence in all domains of human practice influence how we deal with complexity (e.g., of society) and human control thereof? Can computational methods help to reduce, organize, and analyze cultural complexity, or do they pose a threat to human control over different aspects of the lifeworld (e.g., security and network technology, automation of industrial production, autonomous weaponry)? Against the background of such questions, the conference aims to foster an open and critical reflection on the consequences of cultural and societal engineering. The conference investigates not only opportunities and shortcomings of AI research, but also implications and potential structural effects of technological innovation for the organization of societal practice (e.g., work) and techniques of cultural self-reflection (e.g., history). It will not only ask what technologies can do (or will be able to do in the future), but also how these capabilities can be compared and related to their human equivalents, e.g., perception, cognition, and communication.
