-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2023 CFP – Ethical and Social issues in the IS Curriculum Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2022 12:49:43 -0500 From: Mary Dunaway, Ph.D. <mary.dunaway(a)morgan.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2023: August 10 – 12, 2023 (Panama City, Panama) Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED) Mini-track: Ethical and Social issues in the IS Curriculum Submission: https://amcis2023.aisconferences.org/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-20 DESCRIPTION: In today's business world, students are concerned about environmental, social, and governance issues that affect society. The heightened awareness about climate change, gender equality, diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice influences their lives and choices. In the same way that corporations are expected to produce high-quality products, observe professional and industry standards, promote corporate interests in a way that is professional and observant of societal norms, and exhibit good public policy values, business school faculty are expected to excel in their teaching and research to impact society positively. They are also expected to graduate students who exhibit professionalism and who are conscious of their role in society. The 2020 AACSB standard nine explicitly states that through their activities, schools have the opportunity to make a difference in society and to address significant issues on a local, national, or international scale. The IS curriculum must therefore prepare students to engage in ethical and socially responsible learning in an increasingly globalized world. This mini-track will address ethical and social issues in the IS curriculum and recommend ways to incorporate them in teaching taking place inside and outside the classroom and in research. Potential topics for this mini-track include, but are not limited to: · Including and incorporating ethics and ethical issues in the IS curriculum · The role of the IS curriculum in restricting and improving diversity and inclusion · The impact of IS curriculum on society · IS teaching demands and the work-life balance · The impact of the Sociality Mobility index on student learning outcomes · How cross-curricular collaborations enable successful impact on student engagement · The role of social diversity in student IS student clubs and organizations · The influence of culturally responsive teaching on student engagement, learning outcomes, and student retention · The influence of social justice issues on IS curriculum perspectives and student learning · How social justice issues shape IS student's negative internet behaviors · The influence of gender equality on IS student learning outcomes, retention, and graduation · The impact of IS service learning on ethical decision-making · The impact of external IS student activities on ethical judgment · How university social responsible attitudes affect IS faculty curriculum development IMPORTANT DATES: * January 21, 2022: Manuscript submissions open * March 1, 2022: Completed research and ERFs submissions due * April 15, 2022: Authors informed of decision * April 25, 2022: Revised, camera-ready papers (Full and ERF) are due Mini-track Co-chairs: Mary Dunaway, Morgan State University, mary.dunaway(a)morgan.edu Mary Macharia, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, mmachar(a)siue.edu -- Mary M.

The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users. ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023. Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools, and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges related to knowledge in the 21st century. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint. Topics ****** Topics include but are not limited to: Existential and Conceptual Graphs Graph-based models for human reasoning Social network analysis Formal Concept Analysis Conceptual knowledge acquisition Data and Text mining Human and machine reasoning under inconsistency Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty Automated decision-making Argumentation Constraint satisfaction Preferences Contextual logic Ontologies Knowledge architecture and management Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0, Linked (Open) Data Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations Resource allocation and agreement technologies Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations Important Dates *************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 Submission Details ****************** We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts of up to three pages.

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. Many business organizations and the organizing of work have been vastly challenged, and consequently changed, by the COVID-19 global pandemic, the broad social unrest of the last few years, and the growing cybersecurity concerns. As information technologies have penetrated our work and life, businesses and organizations have become more dependent on the use of information technologies as well as on the skills, knowledge and abilities of professionals working in the IT field, especially during the times of global health crisis and war. It is a critical time for us both from academia and industry to ponder and ask: How can we better prepare our IT workforce for new organizational and societal challenges? SIGMIS CPR 2023 calls for attention and concerted research in three key areas, including: (1)-Re-Imagining IT Workforce Post the COVID-19 Global Pandemic; (2) Embracing and promoting the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the IS career ecosystem; and (3)-Safeguarding the security of IT systems in the times of global instability. The three areas with sample questions are described below. At the same time, papers on traditional IT workforce topics pertaining to personnel, training, workforce, and leadership are also most welcome. (1)-Re-Imagining IT Workforce Post COVID-19 Global Pandemic The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the social distancing norms and nationwide lockdowns, giving rise to new ways of work and life, such as the common practices of work-from-home (WFH) by the general workforce, including the IT workforce. This calls us to update our views about IT career and workforce development. Important questions such as: What challenges and opportunities arise for IT career and professional development in the computing and information technology fields during and post the COVID-19 pandemic? What will the future of IT profession and IT work look like? (2) Embracing and promoting the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the IS career ecosystem The recent editorial, "Are we doing enough? A threefold approach to continue our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion" authored by K.D. Joshi and published in The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems, pointed to significant yet underexplored issues in the IS discipline: diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As a conference dedicating to the development and education of IS workforce, ACMSIG CPR 2023 calls for more attention and efforts by IS education and IS Career through embracing and promoting DEI in the IS education and IS career ecosystems. A better understanding of DEI associated challenges and action plans would address questions such as, How can educational institutions improve the IT career's visibility among diverse student populations (i.e., students of different gender and ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, students from minority-serving institutions, etc.)? or What are the challenges and opportunities in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the IS education and career ecosystem? (3)-Safeguarding the security of IT systems in the times of global instability Last but not the least, in many parts of the world, organizations and managers increasingly experience a threat to the security and privacy of their technical systems and data resources. As a result, they have a higher expectation on IT professionals to help them prevent or solve problems of IT security such as data damage or loss, hacker protection, etc. As the threats to IT security have increasing rapidly, it is important to understand if our IT workforce is well educated and equipped to take on the challenging work of protecting organizational IT systems. Questions included but not limited to the following: What IT security and privacy issues are challenging business operations and organization work? or What are the essential, new skills, knowledge, and abilities (SKA) required of IT security professionals in local, national, and global work environments? These and many more questions will need to be examined as we move towards a new normal way of work and life transformed by digital technologies in the times of global crises. What and how will IT workforce seek to adapt to in a changing world of social unrest will allow us to broaden and reimagine the role and meaning of IT profession in the challenging world full of unrest and unpredictability.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023: First CFP - Apps & Systems Track Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2022 14:42:11 +0200 From: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Reply-To: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Organization: University of Patras *20th International Conference on* *Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023* *September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece* ** *First Call for Papers - Applications & Systems Track* Systems and applications incorporating Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) have made tremendous progress over the last decades and become more and more pervasive in scientific, industrial and everyday life. Popular knowledge representation formalisms range from databases, ontologies, classical, probabilistic and non-monotonic logics to natural language, offering rich means to describe a variety of static as well as dynamic phenomena. Automated reasoning systems harness machine learning, combinatorial search and optimization methods, planning, proving, design and diagnosis techniques to provide powerful tools for analyzing and deriving conclusions from complex input data. Novel, general and interdisciplinary approaches are thus vital contributions at the intersection of science, industry and society, aiming to enhance the capabilities and outreach of KR principles and technologies. This year, for the fourth time, KR 2023 will host a track on "Applications and Systems". The Applications and Systems Track aims at providing researchers and industrial practitioners with a dedicated forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas, research experience and emerging results on topics related to applications of KR formalisms and automated reasoning systems. This track provides the opportunity for fostering meaningful connections between researchers from both practical and theoretical areas of AI and, at the same time, offers participants the possibility to learn about progress made on these topics, share their own views and elaborate about approaches that could lead to effective cross-fertilisation among research in challenging KR applications and new innovative systems for solving them. *Expected Contributions* The Applications and Systems Track at KR 2023 invites submissions of papers on all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of KR systems to solve significant and challenging application problems, including: * case studies, including suitable descriptions of the problem setting, data and tools used, and "lessons learnt", * use cases, including task specifications, related tasks/approaches, challenges, and a sketch of possible KR solution, * benchmarks, including suitable descriptions of the dataset, reasoning tasks, and ideally some "solution set" or gold standard, * system descriptions, including descriptions of the algorithm, implementation * and empirical evaluation on a suitable dataset. We welcome the above kinds of papers on a wide range of topics, including papers describing KR systems, tools, solvers and reasoning engines, as well as papers reporting on applications of KR systems in solving or supporting tasks related to different application areas and settings. Application areas of interest include but are not restricted to: computational biology, computer vision and image recognition, creative computing, cybersecurity and blockchain, data analysis, databases and query answering, decision support, declarative problem solving, diagnosis and explanation, game theory and social choice, human-computer interaction, intelligent transportation and logistics, intelligent user interfaces, internet of things, machine learning, natural language processing, digital forensics, robotics and human-robot collaboration, semantic web and knowledge graphs, software engineering, and system design. We also welcome submissions talking about interdisciplinary applications of KR, for example in economics, education, life sciences, medicine, and pharmacology, among others. *Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria* The Applications and Systems Track will allow contributions of both regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding references, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines in the submission page. The track emphasizes applications of KR and development of KR systems, and welcomes contributions showcasing the impact of KR research as well as driving future research by presenting challenging data, use cases and problems together with observations and insights gained. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members, who are active in applications of KR and/or development of KR systems. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, reproducibility (including that—depending on the nature of the contribution—proofs of main claims and/or empirically evaluated implementations of algorithms, empirical data and related scripts, etc, must be made available to allow other researchers to reproduce the reported results), quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art. In this track, the selection process of the highest quality papers will further apply the following criteria: * (for case studies) quality of the evaluation and significance of the "lessons learnt" * (for use cases) importance and novelty of these use cases for KR * (for system descriptions) quality of the empirical evaluation and its reporting * (for benchmarks) reusability, coverage, and complexity of the datasets ** *Important Dates* * *Submission of title and abstract: *March 3, 2023 * *Paper submission deadline: *March 14, 2023 * *Author response period: *May 1-3, 2023 * *Author notification: *May 18, 2023 * *Camera-ready papers: *June 9, 2023 * *Conference: *September 2-8, 2023 *Submission Instructions* Each submission should be in English and must be submitted electronically (in .pdf format) via EasyChair: ***https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2021>* *Chairs* * Matti Järvisalo, University of Helsinki, Finland * Francesco Ricca, University of Calabria, Italy -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 13th Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TempWeb 2023), May 1/2, Austin, TX, USA Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2022 11:44:27 +0100 From: Marc Spaniol <marc.spaniol(a)unicaen.fr> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org **********************CALL FOR PAPERS*********************** ****The 13th Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TempWeb 2023)**** *********in conjunction with The Web Conference 2023************ *****************May 1/2, Austin, TX, USA********************** https://www.temporalweb.net/ As in previous years, the objective of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers of all domains (IE/IR, Web mining, etc.) where the temporal dimension opens an entirely new range of challenges and possibilities. The workshop’s ambition is to keep shaping a community of interest on the research challenges and possibilities resulting from the introduction of the time dimension in web analysis. The maturity of the Web, the emergence of large-scale repositories of web material, makes this very timely and a growing number of research projects and services are emerging that have this focus in common. Having a dedicated workshop will help, we believe, to take a rich and cross-domain approach to this continuous research challenge with a strong focus on the temporal dimension. TempWeb focuses on investigating infrastructures, scalable methods, and innovative software for aggregating, querying, and analyzing heterogeneous data at Internet scale. Emphasis will be given to temporal data analysis along the time dimension for web data that has been collected over extended time periods. A major challenge in this regard is the sheer size of the data it exposes and the ability to make sense of it in a useful and meaningful manner for its users. It is worth noting that this trend of using big data to make inferences is not specific to web content analytics. A now-common strategy in post-genomic biology is to measure, quantitatively, the action of all (or as many as possible) of the genes at the level of the transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and phenotype, and to use computerised methods to infer gene function via various kinds of pattern recognition techniques. On the Web, to a large extent, we have also reached this point. Web scale data analytics therefore needs to develop infrastructures and extended analytical tools to make sense of these. Workshop topics of TempWeb therefore include, but are not limited to the following: • Web scale data analytics • Temporal Web analytics • Distributed data analytics • Web science • Web dynamics • Data quality metrics • Web spam evolution • Content evolution on the Web • Systematic exploitation of Web archives • Large scale data storage • Large scale data processing • Time aware Web archiving • Data aggregation • Web trends • Topic mining • Terminology evolution • Community detection and evolution Important Dates (tentative): - Paper submission : February 6, 2023 - Notification of acceptance: March 6, 2023 - Camera-ready copy deadline: March 20, 2023 - Workshop: May 1/2, 2023 Please post your submission (up to 6 pages for research papers or 2 pages for tool presentations and position papers) using the ACM template: http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tempweb2023 Workshop Team PC-Chairs and Organizers: Marc Spaniol (Université de Caen Normandy, France) Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Northeastern University, USA; UPF, Spain; UChile) Omar Alonso (Amazon, USA) Program Committee (tentative): Eytan Adar (University of Michigan, USA) Srikanta Bedathur (IIIT-Delhi, India) Andras A.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023: Doctoral Consortium - First Call for Applications Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2022 19:28:29 +0200 From: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Reply-To: Theofanis I. Aravanis <taravanis(a)upatras.gr> Organization: University of Patras To: taravanis(a)upatras.gr *20th International Conference on* *Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023* *September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece* ** *Doctoral Consortium - First Call for Applications* The 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2023) invites PhD students to apply for the Doctoral Consortium program. *Aims and Scope* The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a student mentoring program bringing together PhD students and senior researchers from the area of KR. The aims of the consortium are: * to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers; * to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas; * to support students with information and advice on academic, research, and industrial careers. The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but we also encourage students to apply who are at an earlier or more advanced stage of the completion of their thesis. Accepted students will participate in several dedicated DC events, which will likely consist of a lightning talk session and a poster and mentoring session (the precise format of the DC will be finalized closer to the conference). Each student will be given ample time to present their work and therefore be able to fully benefit from direct feedback from the assigned senior researcher mentor and the wider KR conference audience. *Application Submission* Applications must be submitted through the EasyChair conference system: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023> Each application must contain the following elements combined into a single PDF document: 1. Thesis summary. A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. The maximum number of pages is four (bibliography included) and the same style as for KR paper submissions should be used (see https://kr.org/KR2023/ <https://kr2022.cs.tu-dortmund.de/submission.php>). 2. Curriculum Vitae. A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment), maximum two pages. 3. Brief letter of recommendation. A brief letter from your thesis advisor that states that she/he supports your participation in the DC. 4. Optionally, a suggestion of some potential mentors with similar research interests, who could give good advice on technical aspects related to the work, and/or career opportunities. The selection process will consider the quality of the submitted proposal and the stage of the student's PhD project. Doctoral students who submit to the DC are permitted to have previously published their research, and are encouraged to submit papers to KR 2023 and associated conferences and workshops. *Doctoral Consortium Chairs* * Tanya Braun, University of Münster (tanya.braun(a)uni-muenster.de) * Nico Potyka, Imperial College London (n.potyka(a)imperial.ac.uk) -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi
