-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] UMAP ’23: 31st ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization: Second Call for Papers Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2022 13:11:55 +0200 From: George A. Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Second Call for Papers *** UMAP ’23: 31st ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization June 26 - 29, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus https://www.um.org/umap2023/ ACM UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB. User Modeling Inc., as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library. The theme of UMAP 2023 is "Personalization in Times of Crisis”. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that critical periods (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing wars, and climate change, to name a few) can have on user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems; the focus is on investigations that capture how these trying times may have influenced user behavior and whether new models are required. While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). IMPORTANT DATES • Paper Abstracts: January 19, 2023 (mandatory) • Full paper: January 26, 2023 • Notification: April 11, 2023 • Camera-ready: May 2, 2023 • Conference: June 26 - 29, 2023 Note: The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth) CONFERENCE TOPICS We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. For detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track please visit the UMAP 2023 website. Personalized Recommender Systems This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. Intelligent User Interfaces This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. Responsibility, Compliance, and Ethics Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, and beneficial to society. Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-robot Interaction This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. Research Methods and Reproducibility This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works. SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS Submissions for any of the aforementioned tracks should have a maximum length of *14 pages* (excluding references) in the ACM new single-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). (Papers of any length up to 14 pages are encouraged; reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for the contribution.) The submission link is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 . Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference. At least one author should register for the conference by the early registration date cut-off. UMAP uses a *double-blind* review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors' prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected. UMAP has a *no dual submission* policy, which is why full paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue. Further, UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduct (https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment) as well as the ACM Publication Policies and Procedures (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies).

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP for JMIS SI on the Metaverse
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP for JMIS SI on the Metaverse Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 14:33:38 -0500 From: paul.lowry.phd(a)gmail.com To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS) Call for Submission to the Special Issue Fostering the Design and Governance of the Metaverse Guest Editors: Prof. Paul Benjamin Lowry, Virginia Tech; Prof. Waifong Boh, Nanyang Technological University; Prof. Stacie Petter, Wake Forest University; Prof. Jan Marco Leimeister, University of St. Gallen and University of Kassel JMIS, a top-tier scholarly journal, invites the best papers addressing the components of the potential emergence of the Metaverse as a complement to and a potential replacement for the current Web. The Metaverse is envisioned as a collection of technologies and initiatives intended to create a next-generation Internet (Web3) that is highly immersive, persistent, in 3D, and based on the latest developments in extended reality (XR)-an umbrella term for virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR)-as supplemented by artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, quantum computing, and other supporting technologies. Given the compelling and disruptive potential for the Metaverse to generate the Web3, several of the world's leading technology companies are investing tens of billions of dollars on related software and hardware to foster this market, including Meta (famously renamed from "Facebook" as an all-in bet on the Metaverse), Microsoft, Snapchat, Amazon, NVIDIA, Epic Games, Apple, among others. This is an opportune time for researchers to examine what can be learned from the past failed efforts of AR/VR platforms such as Second Life and over-hyped failed AR technologies like Google Glass, and to examine the many more successes that are occurring, perhaps more quietly, with XR (i.e., VR, MR, AR) in education, manufacturing, gaming, branding, healthcare, retailing, logistics, aerospace and defense, architecture, advertising, and athletics. It is these successes and disruptive business models that are likely to form what will be known as the Metaverse. However, this is no minor feat, just as the Internet as we know it took decades to develop. To create a truly persistent 3D, virtual, and immersive Metaverse, there will need to be further advances in supporting hardware (goggles, headsets, sensors), and an exponential increase in computing power, storage, and memory. If the Metaverse is to succeed it must be based on making things better for people than the status quo, and thus must foster innovative business models that are profitable, and yet foster interoperability, efficiency, remote work, reliability, fairness, accountability, open governance, inclusivity, safety, community, and to do so in a manner that is sustainable environmentally, socially and ethically. This is the time for scientists to work with policy makers, companies, and not-for-profit organizations to break the current social media models and envision a Metaverse that can best serve collective global needs. Accordingly, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue (SI) on this subject at JMIS. Our strong preference is for contributions of original and rigorous theory-guided behavioral or empirical data around information systems artifacts that inform design, practice, research, and the products and foundations of theory of meaningful aspects of the Metaverse. We seek any methodological approaches that are legitimate and rigorous, and that can shed light on important phenomena related to the Metaverse. However, we are not seeking review papers or those that focus on discussions of further research alone. Honorary Senior Scholar advisors and editors to the special issue: . Patrick Y.K. Chau, University of Nottingham . Alan Dennis, Indiana University . Juho Hamari, Tampere University . Suprateek Sarker, University of Virginia . Viswanath (Venki) Venkatesh, Virginia Tech . Doug Vogel, Harbin Institute of Technology Dates: . Optional extended abstracts for initial guidance (not formal peer review) January 30, 2023 . First round submissions due date: May 1, 2023 . First round decisions provided by: July 15, 2023 . Second round submissions due date: November 15, 2023 . Second round decisions provided by: January 15, 2024 . Third round submissions due date: March 15, 2024 . Final decisions on papers provided by: April 30, 2024 .

Fwd: CFP: Trans- and Inter-Disciplinary Research, Education, and Communication - Your Abstract Is Welcome!
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Nov '22

19 Nov '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: CFP: Trans- and Inter-Disciplinary Research, Education, and Communication - Your Abstract Is Welcome! Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 13:59:46 +0000 From: IIIS 2023 Spring Conferences <cfp-spring(a)2023conf-iiis.org> To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at IIIS 2023 Conferences Dear Gustaf Neumann, Please consider contributing to the *Special Multi-Track Event to be held in the context of 14^th International Multi-Conference on Complexity, Informatics and Cybernetics: IMCIC 2023*, which has been based in Orlando, Florida, USA, and will take place on *March 28 - 31, 2023*. This special multi-track event includes the following tracks: * *Trans- and Inter-Disciplinary Research, Education, and Communication: TIDREC 2023* * *Research, Education, and Trans-Disciplinary Communication: RETDC 2023* * *Case Studies Approach, Methods, and/or Application: CSAMA 2023* *_You can submit your abstract(s)_ (300-600 words) at*: https://www.iiis-2023conf.org/Spring-SpecialEvents This web page has a more detailed call for papers for each track; which has suggested non-exclusive topics for each of the three tracks. *_A second article_* submitted to any of the above tracks will have no additional cost for its presentation and inclusion in the conference proceedings as long as: 1) its respective abstract is accepted, 2) goes through the same reviewing process as the first one, and 3) is presented and written *FOR Transdisciplinary Communication*. *_Publications_* All accepted and presented articles will be published in: 1. The conference proceedings (IMCIC proceedings has been *indexed by SCOPUS* since 2010) 2. A special issue of the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics (JSCI), indexed, since 2003, by DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals, considered a whitelist). DOAJ affirms that being DOAJ's Index available for free, "Many aggregators, databases, libraries, publishers, and search portals collect our free metadata and include it in their products. Examples are Scopus, Serial Solutions, and EBSCO… DOAJ is OAI compliant and once an article is in DOAJ, it is automatically harvestable". 3. For the publication of the article in the Special Issue of the Journal, the author needs to adapt the paper for trans-disciplinary communications and meet the format and the additional requirement of the journal. There will be no additional processing cost to be paid by the authors, who may extend their paper up to 10.000 words, which is the limit of the journal. The transdisciplinary adaptation of the content may include the title of the paper. 4. Potential printed copies of the electronic special issue, or a multi-author book, to be distributed via Amazon at a very low price. This third publication would depend on the effectiveness of the authors in writing FOR Transdisciplinary Communication, i.e., any scholar in any academic discipline should be able to understand, or at least, to be informed about the content of the article. This may require trans- or inter-textualism to relate different semiotic systems, i.e., to translate from disciplinary semiotic systems to non-disciplinary semiotic systems, as it is the case, for example, of natural language semiotic systems. *_Deadlines and Steps_* The following steps and deadlines are just for this special track/event, *not to be confused with the deadlines of the general conference*. 1. *November 30, 2022: *Submission of abstracts (300-600 words) which should be made via the web page posted at: https://www.iiis-2023conf.org/Spring-SpecialEvents (*Not via the IMCIC 2023 website*). Abstracts will be accepted, or not, during the following 4 days after they had been submitted. 2. *December 20, 2022: *Submission of the full papers (2,000-5,000 words, in two-column format) 3. *January 7, 2023: *Acceptance notification for the full paper, after Participative Peer-to-Peer Reviewing (PPPR) has been made. 4. *January 20, 2023: *Uploading of the paper's final version to the conference server. 5. *Publication of the Journal's Special Issue* will be made in Volume 21 (The year 2023). It will require another format (one-column format) and additional editing reviewing of the format and expressive form. *_Presentations_* *Both synchronous and asynchronous virtual presentations are possible*. Therefore, the authors have the options of: * Submitting a slide show and/or a pre-recorded video of their presentation (asynchronous presentation) or * Making their presentation via Zoom (synchronous presentation) Additionally, each paper to be presented at the event may be read and commented on, via electronic forums, and evaluated by those participants who have registered for the conference. Keynote speakers will be selected from registered authors whose submissions are among the best according to their external reviewers. The identification of the best submissions will be based on the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the reviewers and the percentage of reviewers recommending the acceptance of the submission as related to all the reviewers who made their respective reviews. For this reason, we recommend you submit your paper early. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to your contribution. Respectfully, Organizing Committee of the Multi-Track Special Event* * If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, you may unsubscribe here <https://www.iiis-2023conf.org/Unsubscribe/Unsubscribe.asp?e=gustaf%2Eneuman…>.

Fwd: [AISWorld] ACM IUI Workshop -- HUMANIZE 2023 1st CALL FOR PAPERS
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Nov '22

05 Nov '22

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ACM IUI Workshop -- HUMANIZE 2023 1st CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 14:48:03 +0200 From: Panagiotis Germanakos <pgerman(a)media.uoa.gr> Reply-To: pgerman(a)media.uoa.gr To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ACM IUI Workshop -- HUMANIZE 2023 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS The 7th International Workshop on Transparency and Explainability in Adaptive Systems through User Modeling Grounded in Psychological Theory (HUMANIZE), in conjunction with the 28th ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2023), Sydney, Australia, 17-31 March 2023 Full details are available online: http://www.humanize-workshop.org/ # IMPORTANT DATES - Submission Deadline: 02 January 2023 - Notification to Authors: 29 January 2023 - Camera-ready: 08 February 2023 # MOTIVATION AND GOALS More and more systems are designed to be intelligent; By relying on data and the application of machine learning, these systems adapt themselves to match predicted or inferred user needs, preferences. Observable, measurable, objective interaction behavior plays a central role in the design of these systems, in both the predictive modeling that provides intelligence (e.g., predicting what web pages a website visitor will visit based on their historic navigation behavior) and the evaluation (e.g., decide if a system performs well based on the extent that predictions are accurate and used correctly). When designing more conventional systems (following approaches such as user-centered design or design thinking), designers rely on latent user characteristics (such as beliefs and attitudes, proficiency levels, expertise, personality) aside from objective, observable behavior. By relying on qualitative studies (e.g., observations, focus groups, interviews) they consider not only user characteristics or behavior in isolation, but also the relationship among them. This combination provides valuable information on how to design the systems. HUMANIZE aims to investigate the potential of combining the quantitative, data-driven approaches with the qualitative, theory-driven approaches. We solicit work from researchers that incorporate variables grounded in psychological theory into their adaptive/intelligent systems. These variables allow for designing adaptive systems from a more user-centered approach in terms of requirements or needs based on user characteristics rather than solely interaction behavior, which allows for: Explainability Any adaptive system that relies solely on the interaction behavior data can be explained in terms of expectations, perceptions, variables and models used from theory and define the users as entities, their thinking and feeling, while undertaking purposeful actions (and reactions) regarding e.g., learning, reasoning, problem solving, decision making. Fairness Any adaptive system that considers a human-centred model in its core may consider and respect the individual differences, enabling the design and creation of environments, interventions and AI algorithms that are ethical, open to diversity, policies and legal challenges, and treating all users with fairness regarding their skills and unique characteristics. Transparency Any adaptive system that utilizes the full potential of its human-centred model in terms of definition and impact on decisions made by AI algorithms may facilitate the visibility and transparency of the subsequent actions bringing the control back to the users, for regulating, monitoring and understanding an adaptive outcome that directly affects them. Bias Any adaptive system's AI algorithms and adaptive processes which are designed and developed considering human-centred model characteristics, the impact and relationships of subsequent variables, may facilitate informed interpretations and unveil possible bias decisions, actions and operations of users during their multi-purpose interactions. # TOPICS OF INTEREST A non-exhaustive list of topics for this workshop is: - Identifying theory (e.g., personality, level of domain knowledge, cognitive styles) that can be used for user models for personalizing user interfaces. - Investigating the impact of incorporating psychological theory on explainability, fairness, transparency, and bias - Modeling for inferring of user variables from observable/measureable/objective data (e.g., how to infer personality from social media, how to infer level of domain knowledge from clickstreams). - Designing better adaptive systems from inferred user variables (e.g., altering the number of search results, ordering of interface elements, visual versus textual representations). - User studies investigating one or more of the aspects mentioned above. # TYPES OF PAPERS For this workshop we encourage three kinds of submissions: - Full papers (anonymized 6-8 pages) - Short papers (anonymized up to 4-6 pages) - White papers/Position Statements (anonymized up to 2-4 pages) * page count is excluding references Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format via the new ACM workflow. Use either the Microsoft Word template or the LaTeX template: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow # SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION All submissions will undergo a peer-review process to ensure a high standard of quality. Referees will consider originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition, and relevance to the workshop's topics. The reviewing process will be double-blind so submissions should be properly anonymized. Research papers should be submitted electronically as a single PDF through the EasyChair conference submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=humanize2023 In order for accepted papers to be included in the proceedings, at least one author should be registered -- https://iui.acm.org/2023/index.html -- and attend the workshop. # ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Bruce Ferwerda -- bruce.ferwerda(a)ju.se Department of Computer Science and Informatics School of Engineering Jönköping University, Sweden http://www.bruceferwerda.com Marko Tkalcic -- marko.tkalcic(a)unibz.it Faculty of Computer Science University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia http://markotkalcic.com/ Panagiotis Germanakos -- panagiotis.germanakos(a)sap.com User Experience S/4HANA, Product Engineering Intelligent Enterprise Group SAP SE, Germany PulseX Research Institute gUG, Germany http://www.pgermanakos.com _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers (full papers) 14th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC'23) Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 17:30:44 +0200 From: Christian Guckelsberger <iccc23conf(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Christian Guckelsberger <iccc23conf(a)gmail.com> (Apologies for cross-posting) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 14th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC'23) June 19 - 23, 2023, Waterloo in Ontario, Canada Call for papers: Full Papers https://computationalcreativity.net/iccc23/full-papers/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Computational Creativity (or CC) is a discipline with its roots in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that explores the potential for computers to be autonomous creators in their own right. ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on systems that act as creative partners for humans, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on. *** Important Dates *** Abstracts due: February 17, 2023 Submissions due: February 24, 2023 Acceptance notification: April 21, 2023 Camera-ready copies due: May 12, 2023 Conference: June 19-23, 2023 All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on Earth time. A call for short papers will be announced shortly. *** Special Topics *** In addition to the topics listed in the subsequent section, this year we encourage submissions in the following areas. The aim is to explore overlaps between Computational Creativity and the following critical issues. Climate Change: Climate change is an urgent issue that impacts all of us. What role can CC play in tackling this challenge? This year we would like to explore the overlap between Computational Creativity and the global climate crisis. We welcome submission on systems that create, or engage in the creation of, creative artifacts (visual art, music, poetry, etc) that bring awareness to the climate change crisis. Other related research may include systems that propose creative solutions to the climate crisis, or any other valuable ideas that combine CC and the topic of climate change and environmental sustainability. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI): We welcome submissions that combine CC with issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. These are some of the questions behind this special topic: – How can Computational Creativity support DEI (e.g. increasing cultural diversity, reducing bias, etc.)? – How well do existing creative systems represent diversity? – What can we do to improve representation in creative machines and the artifacts that they are used to create? *** Topics *** Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to Computational Creativity research and practice, including, but not limited to: - Application of Computational Creativity: Applications that address creativity in specific domains such as music, language, narrative, poetry, games, visual arts, graphic design, product design, architecture, entertainment, education, mathematical invention, scientific discovery, and programming. - Human-Machine Creativity: Applications and frameworks that allow for co-creativity between humans and machines, in which the machine acts as a meaningful creative partner. - Evaluation: Metrics, frameworks, formalisms and methodologies for the evaluation of creativity in computational systems, and for the evaluation of how systems are perceived in society. - Computational Models and Paradigms: Computational models of social aspects of creativity, including the relationship between individual and social creativity, diffusion of ideas, collaboration and creativity, formation of creative teams, and creativity in social settings. Computational paradigms for understanding creativity, including heuristic search, analogical and meta-level reasoning, and representation. - Interdisciplinary perspectives: Cognitive and psychological computational models of creativity, and their relation with existing cognitive architectures and psychological accounts; Perspectives on computational creativity which draw from philosophical and/or sociological studies in a context of creative intelligent systems. - Focus on data: Big data approaches to computational creativity; Resource development and data gathering/knowledge curation for creative systems, especially resources and data collections that are scalable, extensible and freely available as open-source materials. - Societal Impact: Ethical considerations in the design, deployment or testing of CC systems, as well as studies that explore the societal impact of CC systems. - Novel experiences & factors:Innovation, improvisation, virtuosity and related pursuits investigating the production of novel experiences and artifacts within a CC context. Computational accounts of factors that enhance creativity, including emotion, surprise (unexpectedness), reflection, conflict, diversity, motivation, knowledge, intuition, reward structures. - CC Provocations: Raising new issues that bring the foundations of the discipline into question or throw new light on seemingly settled ones. *** Paper Types *** We welcome the submission of five different types of long papers: Technical papers, System or Resource description papers, Study papers, Cultural application papers and Position papers. *** More Information *** More information on the paper types and submission process can be found at https://computationalcreativity.net/iccc23/full-papers/ *** Organising Committee *** – General Chair: Dan Brown – Program Chairs: Alison Pease, João Miguel Cunha and Maya Ackerman – Doctoral Consortium Chair: Pablo Gervás – Demo Chair: Rob Saunders – Publicity Chair: Christian Guckelsberger – Webmaster: Paul Bodily ------------------------------------------------ ICCC Proceedings: http://computationalcreativity.net/home/resources/bibliography/ Follow us at: facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pg/computationalcreativity/ twitter – https://twitter.com/iccc_conf instagram – https://www.instagram.com/iccc_conf/ Subscribe our updates: https://mailchi.mp/f7b08f4ab14f/iccc23 -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Fwd: [AISWorld] JMIS CFP SI on the Metaverse

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JMIS CFP SI on the Metaverse Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 17:34:48 -0400 From: paul.lowry.phd(a)gmail.com To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <https://www.jmis-web.org/> Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS) Call for Submission to the Special Issue Fostering the Design and Governance of the Metaverse Guest Editors: Prof. Paul Benjamin Lowry <https://sites.google.com/site/professorlowrypaulbenjamin/home> , Virginia Tech; Prof. Waifong Boh, <https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/awfboh/index.htm> Nanyang Technological University; Prof. Stacie Petter <https://business.wfu.edu/directory/stacie-petter/> , Wake Forest University; Prof. Jan Marco Leimeister <https://iwi.unisg.ch/lehrstuhl-leimeister/#header> , University of St. Gallen and University of Kassel JMIS, a top-tier scholarly journal, invites the best papers addressing the components of the potential emergence of the Metaverse as a complement to and a potential replacement for the current Web. The Metaverse is envisioned as a collection of technologies and initiatives intended to create a next-generation Internet (Web3) that is highly immersive, persistent, in 3D, and based on the latest developments in extended reality (XR)-an umbrella term for virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR)-as supplemented by artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, quantum computing, and other supporting technologies. Given the compelling and disruptive potential for the Metaverse to generate the Web3, several of the world's leading technology companies are investing tens of billions of dollars on related software and hardware to foster this market, including Meta (famously renamed from "Facebook" as an all-in bet on the Metaverse), Microsoft, Snapchat, Amazon, NVIDIA, Epic Games, Apple, among others. This is an opportune time for researchers to examine what can be learned from the past failed efforts of AR/VR platforms such as Second Life and over-hyped failed AR technologies like Google Glass, and to examine the many more successes that are occurring, perhaps more quietly, with XR (i.e., VR, MR, AR) in education, manufacturing, gaming, branding, healthcare, retailing, logistics, aerospace and defense, architecture, advertising, and athletics. It is these successes and disruptive business models that are likely to form what will be known as the Metaverse. However, this is no minor feat, just as the Internet as we know it took decades to develop. To create a truly persistent 3D, virtual, and immersive Metaverse, there will need to be further advances in supporting hardware (goggles, headsets, sensors), and an exponential increase in computing power, storage, and memory. If the Metaverse is to succeed it must be based on making things better for people than the status quo, and thus must foster innovative business models that are profitable, and yet foster interoperability, efficiency, remote work, reliability, fairness, accountability, open governance, inclusivity, safety, community, and to do so in a manner that is sustainable environmentally, socially and ethically. This is the time for scientists to work with policy makers, companies, and not-for-profit organizations to break the current social media models and envision a Metaverse that can best serve collective global needs. Accordingly, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue (SI) on this subject at JMIS. Our strong preference is for contributions of original and rigorous theory-guided behavioral or empirical data around information systems artifacts that inform design, practice, research, and the products and foundations of theory of meaningful aspects of the Metaverse. We seek any methodological approaches that are legitimate and rigorous, and that can shed light on important phenomena related to the Metaverse. However, we are not seeking review papers or those that focus on discussions of further research alone. Honorary Senior Scholar advisors and editors to the special issue: * Patrick Y.K. Chau, University of Nottingham * Alan Dennis, Indiana University * Juho Hamari, Tampere University * Suprateek Sarker, University of Virginia * Viswanath (Venki) Venkatesh, Virginia Tech * Doug Vogel, Harbin Institute of Technology Dates: * Optional extended abstracts for initial guidance (not formal peer review) January 30, 2023 * First round submissions due date: May 1, 2023 * First round decisions provided by: July 15, 2023 * Second round submissions due date: November 15, 2023 * Second round decisions provided by: January 15, 2024 * Third round submissions due date: March 15, 2024 * Final decisions on papers provided by: April 30, 2024 * Special issue publication in late 2024 For full information on the CFP see: https://sites.google.com/site/professorlowrypaulbenjamin/jmis-si-on-the-meta verse-new?authuser=0 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
