-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 6th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 10:38:52 +0000 From: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (Apologies for cross-posts) ----------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 6th WebAndTheCity – Web Intelligence and Smart Cities In conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW’20): 30th World Wide Web International Conference, Taipei, April 21, 2020 http://webandthecity.home.blog/ Important Dates ------------------------- Submissions due: Jan 20, 2020 (23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone) Notification of Acceptance: Jan. 31, 2020 Camera-ready version due: Feb. 17, 2020 Workshop authors’ registration and camera-ready papers: Feb. 17, 2020 Workshop day: April 21, 2020 Workshop Objective ---------------------------- This is the 6th edition of the workshop series with the label “Web Applications and Smart Cities” (previous name: AW4City), which started back in Florence in 2015 and kept on taking place every year in conjunction with the WWW conference series. Last year the workshop was in San Francisco during The Web Conference 2019. The workshop series aim to investigate the role of the Web and of Web applications in smart city growth. This year, the workshop changes its label to “WebAndTheCity” and expands its scope beyond typical web applications and Apps, with the inclusion of Web Intelligence that enables self-evolving smart services in SC: services that vary from typical government transactions and petitions, to mobility applications (e.g., parking and route location) and to smart living apps (e.g., transact with buildings) can utilize machine learning and data in order to self-evolve, adapt to citizen needs and even transform to custom and more efficient and effective. WebAndTheCity aims at gathering researchers from the fields of SC that are related to this year’s conference topics, to think about the obstacles that hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of SC trends with regard to the WWW role (web-based, Apps, platforms and web intelligence). Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the “big picture” of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this workshop. WebAndTheCity is timely since the SC emerges rapidly with the contribution of all the scientific fields, while ISO37120 and ISO37122 attempt to certify and measure the performance of SC services. Last but not least, customer satisfaction from SC services is being measured real-time with corresponding data collection. All these issues are being supported by data, the Web, Apps and recently with AI and it is important to focus on future achievements. Additionally, an increasing criticism is that smart city represents an ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local governments with big technological vendors. Articles can deliver a clearer view of smart city reality, while innovative applications can strengthen the existence of opportunities for new entrants in the SC market. We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from end-to-end solutions’ or apps’ development that will enable researchers to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify important directions for the research communities. Standards for web applications’ development in smart cities is interesting for several areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security, and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit the following topics (but not limited to): • Enhancing citizen and visitor experience with Web Applications and Services, especially controlled by AI; • Apps and services that support mobility, sharing, crowd-sourcing etc.; • Smart City platforms (e.g. parking; traffic management; environment etc.); • Smart and Self evolving services (e.g. self-responsive government services); • Practices of Web applications, Apps and AI in smart cities; • Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards; • Creative partnerships, creative industries and industry 4.0 in Smart City with a focus on application development and AI (Internet Economics and Monetization); • Pervasive Web for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., user behavior analytics, energy, water, waste, transportation etc.) • The role of city stakeholders for smart city applications development and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data); • Web Infrastructure and AI service standardization; • The role of standards on smart city data mining; • Smart city information quality and evolution in social content; • Ensuring security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of web applications and Apps.

Fwd: [WI] Second Call for Papers - Understanding UX through Implicit and Explicit Feedback - Multimodal Technologies and Interaction [Special Issue]
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Dec '19

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Second Call for Papers - Understanding UX through Implicit and Explicit Feedback - Multimodal Technologies and Interaction [Special Issue] Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2019 13:11:42 +0000 From: Mark Graus <mp.graus(a)maastrichtuniversity.nl> Reply-To: Mark Graus <mp.graus(a)maastrichtuniversity.nl> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de * Please forward to anyone who might be interested * * Apologies for cross-posting. * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In collaboration with the MDPI journal "Multimodal Technologies and Interaction", we are bringing researchers together to contribute to a Special Issue on: *Understanding UX through Implicit and Explicit Feedback* Guest Editors: Dr. ir. Bruce Ferwerda, Jonkoping University, Jonkoping, Sweden Dr. ir. Mark Graus, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/special_issues/UX_feedback Submissions are ongoing with the final submission deadline for manuscripts to be considered on 31 March 2020. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue aims to explore the opportunities and challenges of combining implicit and explicit feedback to understand and design user experience (UX) in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Measuring UX is important to understand how successful applications and systems are in reaching their goals. In general, there are two main approaches to measure UX: 1) explicit feedback (i.e., using data measured through surveys, interviews and focus groups) and 2) implicit feedback (i.e., using data describing users' observable interaction behavior measured through, for example, telemetry). Measuring explicit feedback is costlier, requires user input, and thus relies on smaller scale studies. However, it allows to gain deeper information and understanding about the relationship between user characteristics, their needs and preferences, their behavior and their experience. Although, implicit feedback can be collected automatically, it allows for limited understanding of the relationship between user behavior, user traits and user experience. Implicit and explicit feedback can be combined to effectively measure and understand UX factors; implicit feedback can facilitate the breadth (by quantitatively indicating how designs influence UX) while explicit feedback can facilitate the depth (by providing insight how user behavior, user characteristics and user experience are related). The combination of these two approaches result in an understanding with a high level of detail with the cost efficiency of quantitative research. Specific areas in which the combination of implicit and explicit feedback is valuable is in personalized and adaptive systems: systems that adapt itself based on users' interaction behavior to match their preferences or needs. A prominent direction using this approach is the field of recommender systems in which historical behavioral data (implicit feedback) is used to alter the order of items in a catalog (from highest predicted relevance to lowest predicted relevance), with the goal of helping users to find relevant items more easily or making them consume more items. In this case, implicit feedback (behavior) is used to make inferences about concepts that normally can only be measured through explicit feedback (preferences). We encourage authors to submit original research articles, case studies, reviews, theoretical and critical perspectives, and viewpoint articles within the domain of HCI on topics including but not limited to: - Deriving metrics for measuring UX from qualitative research - The interplay between user characteristics/user behavior and UX - Combining explicit and implicit feedback for UX Research - Empirical studies incorporating UX factors, user behavior and/or user characteristics (e.g., A/B testing) - Explicit and implicit feedback in personalized/adaptive systems - Implicit feedback for UX design (e.g., data-driven design) - Explicit feedback for UX design (e.g., theory-driven design) For more information about the Special Issue, please see: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/special_issues/UX_feedback For information on manuscript preparation and related matters, please see the instructions for authors: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mti/instructions Although the deadline for submission of manuscripts to the Special Issue is 31 March 2020, papers will be reviewed and published as they are received. The entire set of invited papers and any others in this domain will appear at the link indicated. We are looking forward to your contribution to the Special Issue. Sincerely yours, Dr. ir.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: The 8th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2020) Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2019 15:33:39 +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. CONFERENCE TRACKS: 1. Cloud Services Models 2. Security, Privacy and Trust 3. Software Systems, Models and Architectures 4. Blockchain in Cloud and IoT 5. Data and Knowledge Management 6.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Using IS for Good Minitrack CFP AMCIS 2020 Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2019 16:44:28 +0000 From: George, Jordana Jeanne <jgeorge(a)mays.tamu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Using IS for Good Minitrack for AMCIS 2020 Track: Social Inclusion and Socio-Technical Issues August 12-16, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States Information systems (IS) have the potential to improve social welfare through redistribution of power, providing a voice for marginalized people, improving access to education, and increasing economic opportunity (George & Leidner, 2019; Lin, et al., 2015; Ortiz et al., 2019; Silva & Hirschheim, 2007; Vaidya & Myers, 2017). Some development programs that sought to use IS for a good cause have been highly successful, but many other projects, even those well designed and well-funded, have never gotten off the ground (Chipidza & Leidner, 2019). This track is dedicated to research on how IS has been used for good, how and when it is successful, and how and when it tends to fail. The contribution of the track is the development of theory and methods for improving the outcomes when IS is used for Good. What we are looking for We welcome papers that theoretically, conceptually, or empirically advance research on the impact of IS on society when IS and ICTs specifically target the improvement of social welfare. Papers may use any acceptable methodology and theory. Submissions are encouraged at any level of analysis or progress. Both full papers and emerging research are encouraged so that authors can gain valuable feedback for moving their projects forward. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to): * The role of Fintech in economic development * Projects or systems focused on the digital divide * Social connections of geographically distant groups with a common cause * Digital strategies to fight disenfranchisement and marginalization * Corporate social responsibility success and failure * Digital activism that advances human rights * Information systems that focus on financial inclusion * The impact of digital saviors (those who think they know best and impose systems on a community for their own good) Minitrack Co-Chairs Jordana George (Primary Contact), Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, jgeorge(a)mays.tamu.edu Wallace Chipidza, Claremont Graduate University David Gomillion, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Dwayne Whitten, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University Co-Chair Biographies Jordana George is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University.
