-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: The 8th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 10:57:59 +0000 From: FiCloud Conference <ficloud.info(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) 24-26 August 2020, Rome, Itlay http://www.ficloud.org/2020/ Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand computing services to service consumers over the Internet. Computing services include, for example, storage, memory, compute power, databases, and networking among others. Cloud services are generally provided using SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service). Unlike conventional distributed computing, cloud offers flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service provisioning. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on “Dark Sides of Digitalization” at International Journal of Electronic Commerce (IJEC) Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 13:28:41 -0600 From: Hamed Qahri-Saremi <hamed.qahri.saremi(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: darkside.si.ijec(a)gmail.com Dear Colleagues, This is a gentle reminder that the deadline for full paper submission for this special issue is approaching. If you have not submitted an extended abstract for your paper, you can still submit your full paper. The guest editors are available at HICSS 2020 to answer any questions you might have. The details about the special issue and guest editors’ contact information are as follows. *Call for Papers* *Special Issue of International Journal of Electronic Commerce:* *“Dark Sides of Digitalization”* Digitalization of individuals (i.e., the proliferation of digital technologies in the lives of individuals), organizations (i.e., digitalization of work and the business environment) and societies (i.e., the digital economy) has been enabled by information technologies (IT) such as smartphones, social media, cloud-based systems, robots, and artificial intelligence. The adoption and use of these technologies have reshaped human’s perceptions, actions, and environments; and are associated with a myriad of benefits for individuals, organizations, and societies (e.g. connectivity, enhanced decision-making, increased productivity and economic growth). Despite the conspicuous benefits, digitalization has also unveiled “dark sides” at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. While the bright sides of digitalization have received much academic attention, the literature on the dark sides of digitalization is in its early stages and in need of further research. This special issue intends to provide a forum for studies focusing on the dark side of digitalization at all levels of analysis. The objective of this special issue is to focus on the drivers, processes, and consequences of the dark side of digitalization as well as the potential strategies and ways for rectifying them. Some of the proposed research topics include, but are not limited to: • Issues related to the problematic, addictive, and deviant patterns of use of IT. • Security and privacy concerns associated with digitalization and e-commerce, including surveillance and appropriation of personal behavior traces for corporate use. • The dark side of artificial intelligence and interacting with robots, such as diminished human control and loss of jobs. • Deceptive computer-mediated communication and fake online contents and their associated costs. • Social fissures, inequality, and concentration of power due to digitalization. • De-democratization and polarization of society due to digitalization. • The adverse effects of e-commerce and sharing economy for individuals, organizations, and society.

Its chequered history of successes and failures has, however, been an ongoing concern of the IS research community (Dwivedi et al., 2015; Hassan & Mathiassen, 2017). Despite efforts to improve the management of ISD projects, these efforts have not had the desired effect (Lim et al., 2011). There is anecdotal evidence that business analytics can help project managers to (i) understand the dynamics and collective state of complex projects, (ii) detect and forecast trends, (iii) improve the effectiveness of risk models, (iv) evaluate the effectiveness of a change to the development process, and (v) distinguish questions of ‘information’ from questions of ‘insight’ (Davenport et al., 2010). Business analytics are frequently referred to as ‘the techniques, technologies, systems, practices, methodologies, and applications that analyse critical business data to help an enterprise better understand its business and market and make timely decisions’ (Chen et al., 2012, p.1166). Yet, much of the research conducted to date has focused on the technologies of business analytics and not enough on the people and their organisational context in which such technologies are intended to be used (Abbasi et al, 2017; Conboy et al., 2018; Mikalef et al., 2019). This is a significant limitation given that the ISD environment is a highly metric oriented, complex, and socially embedded activity that is continuously changing (Conboy, 2009; Kudaravalli et al., 2017; Windeler et al., 2017). This special issue seeks to collect contemporary research on the latest developments and challenges of how organisations exploit business analytics to support project/portfolio managers, project teams, and other project stakeholders. Indicative List of Anticipated Themes This special issue seeks a wide range of articles that draw on diverse project settings, theories, and approaches to understand the different aspects of business analytics as applied to the context of ISD. The following questions are of interest for the special issue: • How can business analytics be used to better understand and manage ISD projects? • What value does business analytics provide to ISD management and development teams? • What tensions arise from the integration of business analytics with traditional and agile methods and practices? • What are the emerging best practices that enable business analytics to be embedded within the ISD process and the wider organisation? • Does the deployment of business analytics make existing agile methods and practices less valuable or even obsolete? • What new metrics and standards can business analytics provide to manage and control ISD projects more effectively? • How can business analytics enable organisational learning and innovation in the context of ISD? • How are business analytics being applied in various types (distributed, large scale) of ISD projects? • How can business analytics support the scaling of ISD projects? • What are the change management and organisational cultural issues that need to be considered when developing analytical capabilities? • How can business analytics provide new ways of working in ISD projects? • What ethical issues stem from the use of business analytics in ISD projects? • How can business analytics be used to support more effective decision making? • What are the new theories and theoretical developments to explain the implementation and use of business analytics in ISD projects? These questions are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather they are intended to stimulate thinking about the role of business analytics in the management of ISD projects across various levels of analysis - from participants in individual projects through projects, programs, portfolios, organisations, and the wider society. We welcome submissions that address questions pertaining to all aspects of the intersection of business analytics and ISD project management. Important Dates: Paper Development Workshop (ECIS 2020) • Submission of extended abstracts commences 1st February 2020 and ends midnight (CET) 31st March 2020 • Authors will be notified of decision by mid-April 2020 • Paper Development Workshop: 14th June 2020 Information Technology & People Special Issue: • Initial paper submission deadline: 30th September, 2020 • First round authors notification: 30th November, 2020 • Invited revisions deadline: 31st January, 2021 • Second round authors notification: 31st March, 2021 • Final revision deadline: 31st May, 2021 • Final authors notification: 30th June, 2021 • Projected publication date: Winter 2021 Paper Development Workshop Only invited authors can attend this workshop. Authors will have the opportunity to present their extended abstracts and receive feedback on how best to develop their article for submission to the special issue with Information Technology & People. Extended abstracts (1,500 - 3,000 words) must use the ECIS 2020 (completed research) paper template. This word limit does not include references, tables, or figures. There is no specific structure but the extended abstract must address the following: • What is the theoretical lens of your research and how does this theory help us to better understand the nature of the research phenomenon? • What are the specific contributions that your research will make to academia and practice? • What are the intended implications of your research for academia and practice? We welcome studies using the range of investigative methodologies qualitative and quantitative, case study, with data collected by survey, interview, observation, analytic analysis. Technical papers and systematic literature reviews are not within the scope of this special issue. If you have any further questions, please consult any of the guest editors. Submission of extended abstracts in PDF format is via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/). Submission of full papers in PDF format is via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itp). While there is no guarantee that work presented at the workshop will be published in the special issue, it is expected that some will eventually be published in Information Technology & People, once further developed.

It also provides opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate learning. Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals to collaborate and acquire information in a variety of domains. These environments present new channels to educate others on various topics, as well as learn about a particular domain from others’ knowledge and experiences. Organizations are utilizing virtual collaborations to support knowledge sharing with existing and potential customers, stakeholders, partners, and employees. However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and performance issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual environments. Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning. We encourage paper submissions that study the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts from a variety of perspectives (e.g., individual, organizational, and international). We welcome papers that study the application of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning as well as challenge such applications. This minitrack is open to both theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all research methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation). Potential topics may include (but are not limited to): * Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts * Theoretical models describing the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and data analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along with factors influencing these activities * Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the implications for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning Submission Process: Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020 Manuscript Submission Site https://new.precisionconference.com/ais.

In KR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including automated planning and natural language understanding, and to fields beyond AI, including databases, verification, software engineering, and robotics. In recent years, KR has contributed also to new and emerging fields, including the semantic web, computational biology, cyber security, and the development of software agents. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. SCOPE We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Applications of KR * Argumentation * Belief revision and update, belief merging, information fusion * Commonsense reasoning * Computational aspects of knowledge representation * Concept formation, similarity-based reasoning * Contextual reasoning * Decision making * Description logics * Explanation finding, diagnosis, causal reasoning, abduction * Geometric, spatial, and temporal reasoning * Inconsistency- and exception tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics * KR and autonomous agents and multi-agent systems * KR and cognitive robotics * KR and cyber security * KR and education * KR and game theory * KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge acquisition * KR and natural language processing and understanding * KR and the Web, Semantic Web * Knowledge graphs, virtual knowledge graphs, and open linked data * Knowledge representation languages * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Modeling and reasoning about preferences * Multi- and order-sorted representations and reasoning * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Ontology formalisms and models * Ontology-based data access, integration, and exchange * Philosophical foundations of KR * Qualitative reasoning, reasoning about physical systems * Reasoning about actions and change, action languages * Reasoning about knowledge, beliefs, and other mental attitudes * Uncertainty, vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics KR2020 will also feature Workshops and Tutorials, solicited by means of an open call, and a Doctoral Consortium.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Last CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Co-design of Data and Computation Management in Fog Computing

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Last CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Co-design of Data and Computation Management in Fog Computing Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2020 17:23:00 +0100 From: Monica Vitali <monica.vitali(a)polimi.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org LAST CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Co-design of Data and Computation Management in Fog Computing to be published in the Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Journal CFP: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems/call-f… ------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: January 31st, 2020 - Authors' Notification: April 30th, 2020 - Revised version deadline: June 12th, 2020 - Final decision: July 31st, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------ OVERVIEW The term Fog Computing has been introduced to identify a paradigm for designing applications able to exploit both the (virtually) infinite resources on the cloud and the limited edge computation power by operating also on the devices living in between these two sides. More specifically, the aim is to exploit a heterogeneous and distributed computational and storage environment to optimize the execution of modern applications requiring high computational resources while reducing the delay and defining constraints on where and how data can be moved and stored. In fact, big volumes of data are produced every day at the edge of the network and their analysis requires to either move the computation to the data or to move the data to the computation. For this reason, a co-design between data and computation management is required. An example could be to define the amount of data to be moved with respect to the complexity of required data analysis. In some cases, this data movement is not possible or limited due to privacy restrictions, which do not allow data collected at the edge to be stored on cloud facilities maintained by third-party actors. In other cases, the volume of data moved through the network introduces severe delays in the processing and techniques to reduce the volume by pre-processing and filtering them directly where the data are generated should be enacted to reduce this delay. At the same time, any transformation of the data might affect their utility for the final customer, thus, also the quality of the data should be taken into account. Moreover, the data collected by IoT and sensors at the edge is often subject to quality issues that might be detected and solved before using them for analytics and decision making. TOPICS This special issue aims to gather recent work on the topic of data and computation management in fog computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Management and control of Fog Computing resources and applications - Data and computation management architectures in Fog Computing - Data-driven offloading computation - Security and privacy issues in data and computation management in Fog Computing - Data movement, data duplication, and data distribution - Energy efficiency in Fog Computing through data and computation movement - Data quality assessment and improvement in Fog Computing - Data processing in heterogeneous and/or distributed environments - Internet of Things and Fog Computing - Smart monitoring and anomaly detection for Fog resources and applications - Simulation tools for Fog Computing - Data processing platforms for Fog Computing - Experiment-driven research on data and processing placement ------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The limit length of accepted papers should be 15 pages (including abstract, figures and references). Link to the paper submission page: https://www.evise.com/profile/api/navigate/FGCS When submitting the paper choose the issue: "VSI:Data & Computation in Fog". ------------------------------------------------------ Guest editors and contacts: Monica Vitali, Politecnico di Milano and Umea University, monica.vitali(a)polimi.it Pierluigi Plebani, Politecnico di Milano, pierluigi.plebani(a)polimi.it David Bermbach, Technische Universitat Berlin, db(a)mcc.tu-berlin.de Erik Elmroth, Umea University and Elastisys, elmroth(a)cs.umu.se Monica Vitali Politecnico di Milano Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria Via Ponzio 34/5 20133 Milano, Italy Phone: +39 02 2399 3424 e-mail: monica.vitali(a)polimi.it web: http://vitali.faculty.polimi.it _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
