-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Forget Popper, Positivism, and Critical realism: What Every IS Scholar Should Learn from the Modern Philosophy of Science Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2022 12:42:06 +0000 From: Siponen, Mikko <mikko.t.siponen(a)jyu.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> SIG PHIL - Philosophy in IS Forget Popper, Positivism, and Critical realism: What Every IS Scholar Should Learn from the Modern Philosophy of Science Prof. Mikko Siponen D. Soc. Sc., Ph.D. Member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters SIG PHIL - Philosophy in IS workshop (ICIS Ancillary Meetings) Day: Sunday, December 11, 2022 Time: 9.30 – 14.30 Venue: ICIS2022, Bella Center (no online participation) You can register to this workshop through ICIS2022 registration Questions? Please email: mikko.t.siponen(a)jyu.fi Information systems (IS) philosophy is often understood through “-isms,” especially (logical) positivism, interpretivism, and critical realism. The modern philosophy of science is not committed to any of these “-isms.” The modern philosophy of science recognizes, for example, that virtually all theories and models idealize and that all these “-isms” were developed before idealizations were understood in the philosophy of science. Moreover, many influential theoretical accounts and concepts in IS are influenced by a received view (RV) of scientific theory that flourished in the philosophy of science around 1930–70. Modern philosophy of science has since widely rejected the RV tenets. The philosophy of science has progressed a lot in the last 30 years. Much of this development is missed in IS, and the recent developments, in many cases, reject the older views the IS community is using. It is, therefore, necessary to clear up some confusions on the fundamental philosophical concepts and introduce some updates from the modern philosophy of science. Participation in this workshop does not require a knowledge of philosophy. You will learn some basic philosophical concepts and what they mean in IS. You will also learn new modeling ideas (e.g., mechanism-based explanation and stage modeling). You also learn about the best candidates for theory in statistical and qualitative research and about the philosophical differences between laws, statistical explanations, process models, stage models, and mechanism-based explanations. Session 1: Basic philosophical concepts: common misunderstandings and the applicability of these concepts to IS Time: 9.30 – 10.30 You will learn why logical positivists (Carnap, Neurath) themselves rejected the famous ideas of logical positivism they had carefully developed earlier. You will learn why “most philosophers of science” think Popper’s philosophy of science is “fatally flawed” (Musgrave 2004, p. 19). You will learn why Popper’s (1959) falsifications do not apply in statistical and qualitative research in IS. You will learn how there is hardly ever “objective observation” and how IS research settings are generally theory-laden. You will learn what theory-ladenness is, what it means in IS, and how theory-ladenness is not the same as scientific theory. You will also learn what underdetermination is in IS and how it is different from theory-ladenness. Coffee break: 10.30 – 10.45 (coffee served) Session 2: What the IS community needs to learn from the modern views of scientific theory Time: 10.45-12.30 You learn why the standard definition of laws does not apply in IS. You learn the reasons why, for many philosophers and scientists, models are more important than theory in modern (philosophy of) science. You will learn that scientific theories/models hardly capture the truth but, in fact, typically deliberately mispresent assumed reality for strategic purposes. “All theories, even the best, make idealizations or other false assumptions that fail as correct descriptions of the world.” (Wimsatt 20007, p. 23) You will learn why idealizations (which are deliberate misrepresentations of assumed reality) are necessary in modern science (Cartwright, McMullin, Mäki, Wimsatt, etc.), and why idealizations as deliberate misrepresentations are actually a good thing. You will learn why some famous IS methods and philosophical positions cannot describe and do justice to idealizations and how they run the risk of inappropriate rejecting idealizations. You will learn how some IS models idealize and that the idealizations are not generally recognized, but they should be. Lunch break 12.30 – 13.00 (lunch served) Session 3: Mechanism-based explanations in IS Time: 13.00 – 14.00 “Mechanistic explanation has an impressive track record of advancing our understanding of complex… systems.” (Weiskopf 2011) “The philosophy of science, more generally, should be restructured around the fundamental idea that many scientists organize their work around the search for mechanisms.” (Craver & Tabery 2017) IS models are often divided into variance and process models (Rivard 2014). Mechanism models allow alternative ways of modeling to variance and process models. You will learn how the idea of mechanism-based explanations (from Salmon to what is known as “the now standard view”) has changed in response to criticism. You will learn how mechanism-based explanations are different from 1) laws, 2) statistical explanations, 3) variance models in IS, and 4) typical formulations of process models in IS. You will learn the principles of mechanism-based explanations in the modern philosophy of science (e.g., Bechtel, Craver, Darden). You will learn about the typical idealizations expected in mechanism-based models. Session 4 (if time). Either session 4A or Session 4b, based on voting. Time: 14.00 – 14.30 Session 4A: Principles of Stage Models You will learn what makes a theory a stage theory. You will learn how stage models/theories are different from 1) variance models in IS and 2) typical formulations of process models in IS. You will learn about the concept of stage as an idealization (e.g., Kohlberg, Weinstein, Schwarzer). Session 4B: Theory Development You will learn why the theory development in the so-called “scientific method” (the hypothetico-deductive method) was guessing and imagination. You will learn why a number of philosophers have vehemently denied the possibility of a stepwise method for developing theories. You will learn strategies for theory development from the modern philosophy of science. Bio Mikko Siponen is Professor of Information Systems at the University of Jyväskylä. In addition to a Ph.D. in IS, Professor Siponen has received an education in philosophy, including a doctoral degree majoring in Applied Philosophy. Mikko Siponen D. Soc.

Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore, more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems, state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance. ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across all application domains. We encourage contributions that help extend the state-of-the-art in particular, but not exclusively, in the following areas: • Measurement and Empirical Evaluation • Modeling • Design and Development Processes • Managing Systems at Runtime • Platform-Related Optimizations • Benchmarking ICPE caters to a wide range of submission types with five distinct submission tracks: • Research track for regular research papers on the conference topics • Industry track for contributions connecting to the industry • Artifact track for sharing software and data artifacts • Emerging research track for discussing novel topics • Poster and demo track for short interactive contributions • Tutorials track for presentations by leading scientists and practitioners • Workshops track for specific aspects of performance engineering • Data challenge track for addressing the challenges presented by a performance dataset The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Papers - ECIS2023 - Track “IS Innovation Adoption and Diffusion” Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 08:07:16 +0000 From: Weinert, Christoph <christoph.weinert(a)uni-bamberg.de> Reply-To: Weinert, Christoph <christoph.weinert(a)uni-bamberg.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> (Apologies if multiple copies of this call are received) Call for Papers: Track “IS Innovation Adoption and Diffusion” 31st European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) – co-creating sustainable digital futures, June 11^th to 16^th , 2023, Kristiansand, Norway, https://ecis2023.no/ <https://ecis2023.no/> *#Track Chairs#* Annette M. Mills, University of Canterbury Christoph Weinert, University of Bamberg Hamed Qahri-Saremi, Colorado State University Since its inception, the field of IS has made significant strides in understanding the range of issues impacting the implementation and use of IT/IS innovations in various settings. However, this last decade has witnessed unprecedented changes with major global issues showing how divided and fragile the world is. To address the economic, societal and environmental challenges presented, the UN set out an ambitious set of goals (17 SDGs), many of which can only be achieved through IT/IS innovation, and the adoption, use and diffusion of such innovations. The unrelenting pace of technological innovation and new and emerging information systems and technologies, including smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, 5G, AR/VR, IoT, drones etc., also provides tremendous opportunity for change. Over the last years, nations, societies, environments and people have shown incredible ability to adopt and adapt to technology innovation and bring about change. At the same time, nations, societies and organisations are seeking ways to leverage, use and diffuse IT/IS innovations that promote sustainability at all levels, and improve lives. As we reflect on the challenges and need to ensure a sustainable future, the role of IT/IS in promoting inclusive, resilient and sustainable innovation by reshaping national economies, organizational operations, societies, the environment and individuals’ lives, requires attention. The extant literature on IT/IS innovation, adoption and diffusion has advanced our knowledge of how IT/IS can be successfully implemented in ways that improve organisational operations. However, addressing the larger economic, societal and environmental challenges before us requires reflection, exploration and rethinking the theories, methods and contexts that have dominated adoption research in the last three decades. This calls for new theories and methodologies or ways of engaging and reshaping existing theories/methodologies to address the complexities of divergent contexts. This track invites research that provides fresh theoretical and methodological perspectives on IT/IS innovation, adoption, implementation, use and diffusion. We especially encourage contributions that propose new theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches to understanding adoption, implementation, use and diffusion of IT/IS innovations for a sustainable future. Studies that use novel conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical approaches, and describe theoretically original and practically relevant research are welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Organizational, societal and individual adoption, use and discontinuance of digital technologies * Adoption, implementation, use and diffusion of digital technologies for inclusivity, equity, and sustainability at all levels * Feature-level IT adoption, implementation, use und diffusion * Enablers and inhibitors of IT adoption, implementation, use and diffusion * Sustainable IT adoption, implementation and use for nations, organizations, societies, environments and individuals * Multi-level analysis of IT adoption, implementation, use and diffusion * Longitudinal investigation of dynamics of IT adoption, implementation, use and diffusion * Innovative uses of digital technologies and impacts (both negative and positive) on nations, organizations, societies, the environment and individuals * Multidisciplinary perspectives on acceptance, implementation, use and diffusion of IT/IS * New theoretical perspectives on, and methodological approaches to examining acceptance, implementation, use and diffusion of IT/IS * Co-creation of successful IT/IS adoption and use experiences. ** *# Fast track journal publication opportunities #*** Selected papers presented in this ECIS2023 track will be invited to extend, and be fast-tracked to: * * The DATABASE for Advances in Information Systems* | https://sigmis.org/the-data-base/ <https://sigmis.org/the-data-base/> * *Internet Research* | https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/intr <https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/intr> * * AIS Transactions of Human-Computer Interaction* | https://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/ <https://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/> ** *# Important Dates #* ** * Submission Deadline: November 17th, 2022 * Notification to authors: February 10th, 2023 * Submission of revised papers: March 31st, 2023 For further information please visit https://ecis2023.no/submissions/track-descriptions/?track=isiad <https://ecis2023.no/submissions/track-descriptions/?track=isiad> Greetings, Annette, Christoph, Hamed -- 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] Call for Papers for ECIS 2023 Track No 23: “SMDW | Social Media and Digital Work” Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 11:28:26 +0000 From: Hacker Janine <Janine.Hacker(a)uni.li> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (Apologies for possible cross-postings of this announcement) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 31th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2023) Track: Social Media and Digital Work June 11-16, 2023, Kristiansand, Norway (https://ecis2023.no/submissions/track-descriptions/?track=theme) Paper submission deadline: 17th November 2022 **************************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to submit research contributions related to “Social Media and Digital Work” to the ECIS 2023 Track 23. Please find more information regarding the track and the timeline below. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding the track and forward the call for papers to potentially interested colleagues. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and meeting you in Timisoara! Best regards, Matthias Trier, Alexander Richter, and Janine Hacker ************************************************************** *Track Description* Social media have become part of the work and life of billions of humans around the globe. Social media platforms facilitate paradigm shifts in the ways we develop relationships, communicate with each other, collaborate, procure goods and services, and exchange information. They allow anyone to virtually share information with a global audience. The ubiquitous nature of social media use requires a better understanding of the role and long-term consequences of this phenomenon for digital transformation on individual, organizational and societal levels. On the one hand, proponents argue that social media promote creation of social capital, result in increased interconnectedness, or facilitate empowerment. In line with the conference theme, social media can hence contribute to co-creating a sustainable future. On the other hand, opponents express strong concerns over the dangers of social media. The sheer quantity and the sensitivity of the information users disclose gives rise to strong privacy concerns. Other undesirable developments include distraction, addiction, depression, mood disorders. In companies the multivocality, afforded by social media, can yield tensions for organizational coherence. Finally, the phenomenon of fake news has recently emerged as a dangerous development, posing significant challenges for platform providers and users. Considering both positive and negative impacts of social media, managers and policy-makers find themselves confronted with a complex choice of whether these platforms should be regulated and, if so, how. This track seeks submissions examining the role social media is playing in transforming the networked society and businesses at large. We especially encourage research that reaches out beyond IS theories, is grounded in multiple reference disciplines and applies new intriguing perspectives to document and understand the transformational impact of Social Media and Digital Work. Topics include but are not limited to: * Theories about Social Media and Digital Work * Digital Leadership and Virtual Teams * Social channels of enterprise knowledge sharing and collaborative work * Co-existence and interweaving of different online and offline (social) communication networks in companies * Blurring boundaries of private and business (e.g. Consumerization, Shadow IT) * Social media-enabled business models * Organizational networking with social media and collaboration technologies * User behaviour on social media and collaboration platforms (e.g. co-creation) * Success and “health” of online social communities * Socialness of and in social media and collaboration platforms * The development and use of social media analytics * Digital methods for understanding collaboration via social media (e.g. design science approaches, the computational turn; big data methods) * Critical perspectives on social media (e.g. social and information overload; technostress) * Societal impact of social media and digital collaboration * Social media and fake news, misinformation, disinformation * Social media in times of crises *IMPORTANT DATES:* * Paper submission deadline: November 17th, 2022 * Notification of provisional acceptance: February 28th, 2023 * Submission of final version: March 31st, 2023 * ECIS conference: 11th-16th, 2023 *TRACK CHAIRS* Matthias Trier, Paderborn University, Germany, trier(a)upb.de<mailto:trier@upb.de> Alexander Richter, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, alex.richter(a)vuw.ac.nz<mailto:alex.richter@vuw.ac.nz> Janine Hacker, University of Liechtenstein, janine.hacker(a)uni.li<mailto:janine.hacker@uni.li> More information can be found here: https://ecis2023.no/submissions/call-for-papers/ Dr. Janine Hacker Assistant Professor at the Hilti Chair of Business Process Management University of Liechtenstein Institute of Information Systems Fürst-Franz-Josef-Strasse, 9490 Vaduz, Liechtenstein Phone +423 265 11 11, Direct +423 265 13 13 janine.hacker(a)uni.li<mailto:janine.hacker@uni.li>, www.uni.li<http://www.uni.li/> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Please find more information regarding the track and the timeline below. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding the track and forward the call for papers to potentially interested colleagues. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and meeting you in Timisoara! Best regards, Matthias Trier, Alexander Richter, and Janine Hacker ************************************************************** *Track Description* Social media have become part of the work and life of billions of humans around the globe. Social media platforms facilitate paradigm shifts in the ways we develop relationships, communicate with each other, collaborate, procure goods and services, and exchange information. They allow anyone to virtually share information with a global audience. The ubiquitous nature of social media use requires a better understanding of the role and long-term consequences of this phenomenon for digital transformation on individual, organizational and societal levels. On the one hand, proponents argue that social media promote creation of social capital, result in increased interconnectedness, or facilitate empowerment. In line with the conference theme, social media can hence contribute to co-creating a sustainable future. On the other hand, opponents express strong concerns over the dangers of social media. The sheer quantity and the sensitivity of the information users disclose gives rise to strong privacy concerns. Other undesirable developments include distraction, addiction, depression, mood disorders. In companies the multivocality, afforded by social media, can yield tensions for organizational coherence. Finally, the phenomenon of fake news has recently emerged as a dangerous development, posing significant challenges for platform providers and users. Considering both positive and negative impacts of social media, managers and policy-makers find themselves confronted with a complex choice of whether these platforms should be regulated and, if so, how. This track seeks submissions examining the role social media is playing in transforming the networked society and businesses at large. We especially encourage research that reaches out beyond IS theories, is grounded in multiple reference disciplines and applies new intriguing perspectives to document and understand the transformational impact of Social Media and Digital Work. Topics include but are not limited to: * Theories about Social Media and Digital Work * Digital Leadership and Virtual Teams * Social channels of enterprise knowledge sharing and collaborative work * Co-existence and interweaving of different online and offline (social) communication networks in companies * Blurring boundaries of private and business (e.g. Consumerization, Shadow IT) * Social media-enabled business models * Organizational networking with social media and collaboration technologies * User behaviour on social media and collaboration platforms (e.g. co-creation) * Success and “health” of online social communities * Socialness of and in social media and collaboration platforms * The development and use of social media analytics * Digital methods for understanding collaboration via social media (e.g. design science approaches, the computational turn; big data methods) * Critical perspectives on social media (e.g. social and information overload; technostress) * Societal impact of social media and digital collaboration * Social media and fake news, misinformation, disinformation * Social media in times of crises *IMPORTANT DATES:* * Paper submission deadline: November 17th, 2022 * Notification of provisional acceptance: February 28th, 2023 * Submission of final version: March 31st, 2023 * ECIS conference: 11th-16th, 2023 *TRACK CHAIRS* Matthias Trier, Paderborn University, Germany, trier(a)upb.de <mailto:trier@upb.de> Alexander Richter, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, alex.richter(a)vuw.ac.nz Janine Hacker, University of Liechtenstein, janine.hacker(a)uni.li <mailto:janine.hacker@uni.li> More information can be found here: https://ecis2023.no/submissions/call-for-papers/ <https://ecis2023.no/submissions/call-for-papers/> *Dr. Janine Hacker* Assistant Professor at the Hilti Chair of Business Process Management University of Liechtenstein Institute of Information Systems Fürst-Franz-Josef-Strasse, 9490 Vaduz, Liechtenstein Phone +423 265 11 11, Direct +423 265 13 13 janine.hacker(a)uni.li <mailto:janine.hacker@uni.li>, www.uni.li <http://www.uni.li/> -- 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] Call for Papers. International Journal of Public Sector Management. Special Issue: Technology and digitization in service to meet user needs

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers. International Journal of Public Sector Management. Special Issue: Technology and digitization in service to meet user needs Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2022 22:09:25 +0200 From: Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar <manuelp(a)ugr.es> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Dear Colleagues, Information technology effects are nowadays evident in, literally, all aspects of social and economic life. Digital technologies, and especially emerging technologies such as social media, big data, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), can affect data production and dissemination. The relation between digital technologies and accounting has already attracted considerable interest in the private sector, while in the public sector, there is a dearth of relevant studies (Agostino et al., 2020; Agostino et al., 2021). The use of technology in public sector reporting has covered so far a few possible research topics. Early studies focused on the web as a means through which citizens would get regular accurate information on public finances (Caba Pérez et al., 2005) and its consideration as a tool that the public could use to continuously assess government agencies through everyday interaction (Rodríguez Bolívar et al. 2007). More recently, there are studies that have assessed citizens' preferences regarding the way the information is presented. More specifically, there are research works dealing with popular report presentation (Cohen et al., 2017), whether smart cities adopt IT-enhanced means in relation to financial or non-financial reporting (Cohen and Karatzimas, forthcoming) or whether the use of infographics increases financial statements understandability (Cohen et al., 2021). In the last years, the implementation of emerging technologies on the public sector is opening new avenues for changing both the roles of stakeholders and the way these stakeholders reach the financial and non-financial reporting. Indeed, the use of technology as a facilitator for both financial and non-financial reporting to meet user needs shows significant prospects. Currently, big data attract public administration interest related to users’ needs (Ju et al., 2018; Ingrams, 2019), while the use of social media by administrations to bring reporting to citizens’ mobile phones and tablets is escalating (Giacomini et al., 2021). AI and the IoT are further placed on the service of various users (de Sousa et al., 2019; El-Haddadeh et al., 2019). This special issue focuses on how emerging technologies and digitalization could impact on the stakeholders role in the production and shaping of financial and non-financial reporting in the public sector as well as on the development of good practices in this area. The new era challenges the content and the suitability of the traditional lengthy pdf. reports that are available on the websites which, up to now, are a direct transfer of the paper-world to the digital one. The capacity of stakeholders to participate in the co-production of information and the alternative ways of visualization (on demand) make information more comprehensive. Technology advancements make people get accustomed to interactive tools and personal digital assistants to answer their queries on several matters on the spot and users of financial information usually browse through data at their own pace and not in a predefined order through tablets and mobile phones. This way, report narrations based on artificial intelligence or the use of chatbots may be features of future reporting. However, these dimensions are likely to affect not just the format of reporting per se to meet the user needs but also the content of the reporting irrespectively of the type of the reports, e.g. financial reports, environmental reports, popular reports, integrated reports, etc.. List of Topic Areas: Financial reporting (including popular reporting and integrated reporting) by adopting technology and digitization for multiple stakeholders; Non-Financial reporting (e.g. sustainability and environmental reporting) by adopting technology and digitization for multiple stakeholders; Challenges in terms of IT knowledge and skills for accountants and auditors; Public Sector reporting and big data; The impact of the implementation of emerging technologies (Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Blockchain, Big Data,...) on both public sector reporting and auditing; Digital divide and the implementation of the digitization on public sector reporting; Citizens' rights to information access in different electronic formats and channels. The deadline for submissions to the special issue is May 31, 2023. The platform will open for submissions on January 2, 2023. Accepted papers will be published in a Special Issue on 2024 (Vol. 37, Issue 3).
