Ahead of this deadline, in February 2024, we will be holding an online information session and will invite potential authors to send us specific questions to address during this session. ----------- JAIS Special Issue Call for Papers Digital Sustainability and Information Systems Research: New challenges and theoretical perspectives Objective Sustainability is a moral and existential imperative of our time. As Information Systems (IS) scholars, we are aware of the immense impact of digital technologies on efforts and initiatives towards sustainable practice happening locally and globally. Furthermore, because digital phenomena lie at the heart of our discipline, IS researchers are well positioned to join these efforts. This Special Issue aims to champion new digital sustainability research programs targeting the planet’s most pressing sustainability challenges from the past decade. We hope it will contribute towards building novel collective knowledge and help shape digital sustainability research in IS. Motivation for this Special Issue Human society is approaching the edge of a dangerous precipice. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report unequivocally confirms that human activities have caused global warming, predicting that even with current commitments and mitigation efforts, it will be difficult to limit warming below the critical threshold of 2oC (IPCC, 2023). The planet’s air, land, and water continue to be threatened on several fronts, with research suggesting that the safe operating zone for six of the nine planetary boundaries has already been breached (Stockholm Resilience Centre, n.d.). Over the past decade, extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, fires and heatwaves have not only increased in frequency but also in magnitude. In addition to causing environmental impacts, these events have a significant impact on society, further complicating the pursuit of social and economic sustainability. In 2020, about 724 million people were living in conditions of extreme poverty, with almost 30% of the world’s population suffering from some level of food insecurity (United Nations, 2023). Equality for women and other marginalized groups continues to lag. The World Bank (2022) reports that 2.4 billion women globally do not have the same economic rights as men, and despite the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007 (United Nations, 2007), Indigenous Peoples around the world continue to suffer the intergenerational trauma of colonization. The trend towards urbanization endures, with cities struggling to ensure inclusive, resilient, and sustainable living environments for all residents (United Nations 2023). On top of all these challenges, violent conflicts have led to the forced migration of millions of people and the deaths of thousands of civilians (United Nations 2023). These alarming circumstances highlight the lack of progress towards the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. As stated in the 2023 Progress Report ,the promise of leaving no one behind is in peril: of 140 measured targets, only 12% are on track for 2030, and about half are moderately or severely off track. In response to the urgent need to address sustainability challenges, organizations, governments and industries worldwide have started to make efforts in recent years to harness the potential of digital technologies. Examples of such efforts range from specific solutions, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors widely used by many organizations to pursue sustainability objectives, to the birth of new data-driven companies that are applying advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to offer sustainability-related data services. This harnessing of digital technologies to address sustainability challenges has impacted the way practitioners view this emerging trend, which they increasingly refer to as digital sustainability. For example, Gartner describes digital sustainability as harnessing the “tools of digital transformation, such as enhanced connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT), to improve the environment and support sustainable business operations”. On a global scale, the United Nations has initiated conversations on the relationship between digital sustainability and environmental concerns. For example, the focus of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) is “accelerating and scaling environmental sustainability by applying data, digital technologies, and solutions to UNEP’s key activities, products, and services and ultimately delivers on its key action areas—climate, nature, and pollution”(UN Environment Programme, n.d.). In the domain of social sustainability, the United Nations chosen theme of “DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality” for International Women’s Day 2023 emphasizes the potential of digital technologies for empowering women and girls. However, IS research has been lagging behind the digital sustainability discourse happening in practice. As argued in a recent JAIS editorial on digital sustainability (Kotlarsky et al., 2023), the IS research community has a strong foundation to draw upon (Watson et al., 2020), ranging from research into Green IS (e.g., Leidner et al. 2022; Watson et al. 2021; Corbett & Mellouli, 2017) to studies addressing significant societal challenges (e.g., Tong et al. 2022; Young et. al. 2019; Young 2018; Tim et al. 2017, Puri 2007). As Urquhart and her colleagues (2008) note, the poor cannot eat technology, but the mindful design and use of technology can contribute to innovative solutions and positive impacts. In particular, we consider that the recent shift in the way IS research approaches digital phenomena offers new perspectives on the relationship between digital technologies and sustainability. Building on Baskerville et al.’s (2020) contention that the classical view of an information system as representing and reflecting physical reality has become obsolete, we agree that an ontological reversal has taken place at the junction between technology and sustainability whereby the digital version of business solutions is created first (e.g., algorithms and data analytics solutions) and the physical version second (e.g., material waste) (Kotlarsky et al. 2023). As a result, the assumption that IS only represents the physical assets within sustainability phenomena is being challenged. This provides an opportunity for the IS community to drive a more inclusive agenda on digital sustainability, one that encompasses phenomena in which the impact of digital technologies and macro-level environmental, social, and economic objectives converge. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks contributions that delve into digital sustainability and encompass “the development, deployment, and utilization of digital resources and artifacts toward improving the environment, society, and economic welfare” (Kotlarsky et al. 2023, p. 938). What we are interested in We invite original and thought-provoking studies that advance and shape our understanding of digital sustainability as an emerging research area. We are interested in studies that contribute to our understanding of environmental and/or social sustainability, and studies that elucidate new forms of digital sustainability. We therefore welcome studies that engage with digital sustainability by building on theoretical foundations from the extant IS literature, as well as studies that bring insights from other disciplines into the IS research domain. Furthermore, we seek studies that consider digital sustainability at all levels and perspectives, in the context of developing and developed nations. We specifically welcome submissions that integrate more than one dimension of digital sustainability—the environment, society, and/or economic welfare. Overall, we aim to present a collection of papers that provides a balanced, integrated, and cumulative perspective on digital sustainability. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Design and development considerations * Research that investigates the processes, principles, resources or capabilities required for the design and development of digital sustainability artefacts * Intervention-based research that engages directly in enhancing sustainability practices within organizations or communities through effective leveraging of digital technologies * Studies that examine how the different inter- and intra-organizational actors involved in digital sustainability projects engage and interact as they develop, deploy, and govern digital solutions for macro-level sustainability agenda * Explorations of the relationship(s) between digital objects and the physical reality they shape/create in the context of social and environmental sustainability Use considerations * Research that examines how digital technologies support key organizational activities (e.g., decision-making, resource management, and innovation processes) in the management of macro-level sustainability challenges, such as climate change * Theoretical and/or empirical investigations of the interplay between sustainability initiatives and other digital agendas, such as digital transformation * Studies of ‘computed human experiences’ with respect to sustainability, for example, how people interact with complex environmental and social problems through immersive technologies * Research on the challenges and opportunities for reclaiming and rejuvenating Indigenous cultures and knowledge as well as advancing Indigenous community economic development through decolonized digital artefacts Management and governance considerations * Studies that explore the governance of digital sustainability and new ways of organizing for sustainability in different settings. For example, where do digital sustainability initiatives emerge and how do they unfold? * Research on the role of different actors in the digital sustainability ecosystem and their impact on the emergence of new digital sustainability sectors and business models * Studies on the sustainability agenda at the community and societal levels, and the role of digital technologies in either empowering or constraining sustainability-driven collective actions * Policy implications related to digital sustainability for organizations, individuals, and societies, especially as they relate to ethical concerns and social well-being Outcomes and consequences * Studies that incorporate multiple aspects of digital sustainability performance to enrich and expand our understanding of the impact of digital technologies on various stakeholders * Case studies and other investigations of real-world impacts (positive/negative, planned/unintended) of digital sustainability on vulnerable or marginalized communities * Given that the well-being of future generations is a central concern, research that investigates alternative ways of measuring progress toward long-term sustainability objectives and how to link these with short-term performance * Beyond techno-optimism, identifying the key challenges presented by digital technologies, either directly or through their use, that negatively impact sustainability agendas, coupled with empirical insights for mitigating these challenges What we are not interested in We are not interested in studies that only make peripheral contributions to digital sustainability. This may be the case when the original research design, including the data collected, was not intended to contribute to understanding of digital sustainability, or when engagement with the concept of digital sustainability is marginal. A possible example of the latter would be studies that append a connection to one or more Sustainable Development Goals as a post-hoc discussion, yet the core research problem is not substantially driven by a sustainability issue. Given that this Special Issue aims to promote research programs that relate to the planet’s most pressing sustainability challenges, we believe that environmental and social welfare are of utmost importance. Therefore, we are not interested in studies concerned solely with economic welfare at the business level, such as those on sustainable business operations or organizational sustainability. We do, however, welcome submissions that couple economic welfare with other dimensions, such as environmental or social welfare, especially when integrated within a broader, macro-level sustainability agenda. We also emphasize that while related to digital responsibility (AIS, 2023) and digital resilience (Boh et al., 2023), digital sustainability differs from these notions. Therefore, we are ONLY interested in studies on digital sustainability. We recommend potential authors consult the recent editorial on digital sustainability by Kotlarsky et al. (2023), which provides a conceptualization and extensive discussion of digital sustainability and its ontological foundations.

The discipline is well situated to address pressing issues of our time by incorporating various scientific approaches. We welcome quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, including social sciences and computer science techniques. In addition, we are interested in work exploring Web-based data collection and research ethics. We also encourage studies that combine analyses of Web data and other types of data (e.g., from surveys or interviews) and help better understand user behavior online and offline. Possible topics across methodological approaches and digital contexts include but are not limited to: Understanding the Web * Automation and AI in all its manifestations relevant to the Web * Trends in globalization, fragmentation, and polarization of the Web * The architecture and philosophy of the Web * Critical analyses of the Web and Web technologies Making the Web Inclusive * Issues of discrimination and fairness * Intersectionality and design justice in questions of marginalization and inequality * Ethical challenges of technologies, data, algorithms, platforms, and people on the Web * Safeguarding and governance of the Web, including anonymity, security, and trust * Inclusion, literacy and the digital divide The Web and Society * Social machines, crowd computing and collective intelligence * Web economics, social entrepreneurship, and innovation * Legal issues, including rights and accountability for AI actors * Humanities, arts, and culture on the Web * Politics and social activism on the Web * Online education and remote learning * Health and well-being online * The role of the Web in the future of (augmented) work * The Web as a source of news and information, and misinformation Doing Web Science * Data curation, Web archives and stewardship in Web Science * Temporal and spatial dimensions of the Web as a repository of information * Analysis and modeling of human vs. automatic behavior (e.g., bots) * Analysis of online social and information networks * Detecting, preventing and predicting anomalies in Web data (e.g., fake content, spam) 2024 Emphasis: Reflecting on the Web, AI, and Society In addition to the topics at the heart of Web Science, we also welcome submissions addressing the interplay between the Web, AI and society. New advances in AI are revolutionizing the way in which people use the Web and interact through it. As these technologies develop, it is crucial to examine their effect on society and the socio-technical environment in which we find ourselves. We are nearing the crossroads wherein content on the Web will increasingly be automatically generated, blended with that created by humans. This creates new potential yet brings new challenges and exacerbates existing ones in relation to data quality and misinformation. Additionally, we need to consider the role of the Web as a source of data for AI, including privacy and copyright concerns, as well as bias and representativity of resulting systems. The potential impact of new AI tools on the nature of work may bring a transformation of some careers while creating whole new ones. This year’s conference especially encourages contributions documenting different uses of AI in relation to how people use the Web, and in the ways the Web affects the creation and deployment of AI tools. Format of the submissions Please upload your submissions via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmwebsci24 There are two submission formats. * Full papers should be between 6 and 10 pages (including references, appendices, etc.). Full papers typically report on mature and completed projects. * Short papers should be up to 5 pages (including references, appendices, etc.). Short papers will primarily report on high-quality ongoing work not mature enough for a full-length publication. All accepted submissions will be assigned an oral presentation (of two different lengths). All papers should adopt the current ACM SIG Conference proceedings template (acmart.cls). Please submit papers as PDF files using the ACM template, either in Microsoft Word format (available athttps://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template under “Word Authors”) or with the ACM LaTeX template on the Overleaf platform, which is available at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/association-for-computing-machiner…. In particular; please ensure that you are using the two-column version of the appropriate template. All contributions will be judged by the Program Committee upon rigorous peer review standards for quality and fit for the conference by at least three referees. Additionally, each paper will be assigned to a Senior Program Committee member to ensure review quality. WebSci-2024 review is double-blind. Therefore, please anonymize your submission: do not put the author(s) names or affiliation(s) at the start of the paper, and do not include funding or other acknowledgments in papers submitted for review. References to authors’ own prior relevant work should be included but should not specify that this is the authors’ own work. It is up to the authors’ discretion how much to further modify the body of the paper to preserve anonymity. The requirement for anonymity does not extend outside of the review process, e.g., the authors can decide how widely to distribute their papers over the Internet. Even in cases where the author’s identity is known to a reviewer, the double-blind process will serve as a symbolic reminder of the importance of evaluating the submitted work on its own merits without regard to the authors’ reputation. For authors who wish to opt-out of publication proceedings, this option will be made available upon acceptance. This will encourage the participation of researchers from the social sciences that prefer to publish their work as journal articles. All authors of accepted papers (including those who opt out of proceedings) are expected to present their work at the conference. ACM Policies<https://websci24.org/acm-policy-2/> 1. “By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.o…>, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.o…>. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.” 2. “Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Forcid.org…>, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauthors.a…>. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.” Program Committee Chairs: Oshani Seneviratne (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Luca Maria Aiello (IT University of Copenhagen) Yelena Mejova (ISI Foundation) For any questions and queries regarding the paper submission, please contact the chairs at acmwebsci24(a)easychair.org<mailto:acmwebsci24@easychair.org>. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Data ecosystems are among the most promising concepts that facilitate data sharing between data providers and consumers to create value for individual actors but also for larger collaborations (Oliveira et al. 2019; Oliveira and Lóscio 2018). The transformation towards data ecosystems is evident across domains and in novel use cases benefiting from using more data ranging from personalized medicine to industrial manufacturing. Promoting this type of data-driven innovation has led to political and legislative initiatives in many parts of the world that seek to make data usable beyond the internal boundaries of an organization: For example, the European Commission formulated the European Data Strategy that aims to generate a European data ecosystem that acts as a single market for free-flowing data (European Commission 2023). The goal is to leverage previously unused data and, for instance, share industrial data between companies to enable new business models and increase organizational efficiency (European Commission 2020). In Europe, the Data Act (DA) and Data Governance Act (DGA) mandate how data is shared by using so-called “data intermediation services” that act as neutral intermediaries between data providers and data consumers. In Asia, Singapore has published a “Trusted Data Sharing Framework” to help companies overcome challenges in addressing digital trust between data providers and develop “trusted data”. The emerging phenomena related to data sharing and data ecosystems have attracted great attention in Information Systems (IS) research. Initial studies conceptualize data ecosystems proposing roles (e.g., Oliveira et al. 2019; Oliveira and Lóscio 2018), explore research streams (e.g., Fassnacht et al. 2023), investigate how data ecosystems emerge (e.g., Gelhaar and Otto 2020) or how they are organized and governed (e.g., Lefebvre et al. 2023). Data ecosystems rely on technological infrastructure around which they evolve as inter-organizational socio-technical systems with specific governance and institutional arrangements (e.g., van den Broek and van Veenstra 2015). Examples are data marketplaces, data trusts, or data spaces. This results in promising opportunities for IS research to explore data ecosystems as a novel phenomenon enabling data-driven innovation on multiple levels. For example, while data ecosystem operationalization has a technological component, organizations also require sound institutional setups and business models to take part in them and leverage them fully. In this context, companies must master the tensions in participating in data ecosystems (e.g., weighing whether or not to share data depending on the potential value that can be generated from it, Jussen et al. 2023). This is only one example of potentially many decisions organizations, and individuals face when engaging with data ecosystems. *Central issues and topics* This call for papers extends on the special issue on “Data economy in a globalized world: Opportunities and challenges for public and private organizations” (de Reuver et al. 2022) and welcomes papers that explore various facets of data ecosystems. It intends to advance our understanding of this emerging phenomenon and invites a broad range of research approaches, including empirical work, case studies, and design-oriented research. Topics relevant to the special issue/topical collection include, but are not limited to: * Real-world data ecosystem scenarios and their implications for research * Decisions associated with the peculiarities of inter-organizational data sharing * Multilateral relationships between one or more data providers and one or more data consumers * New business models and services based on organizations acting in data ecosystems * Data sovereignty in data ecosystems, especially different levels of data sovereignty * Emerging organizational forms and infrastructures for data sharing, such as data marketplaces, data trusts, or data spaces * Governance of data ecosystems and data sharing * Theories to explain facets of data ecosystems *Submission* Electronic Markets is a Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-listed journal (IF 8.5 in 2022) in the area of information systems.

Fwd: [AISWorld] LAK24 Call For Paper: the 14th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, March 18-22, 2024, Kyoto, Japan
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Aug '23

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] LAK24 Call For Paper: the 14th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, March 18-22, 2024, Kyoto, Japan Date: Tue, 08 Aug 2023 10:12:30 +0100 From: Society for Learning Analytics Research <announcements(a)solaresearch.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org [apologies for cross posting] Dear all, Join us for the 14th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, March 18-22, 2024, in Kyoto, Japan. We are very excited to be offering LAK24 for the first time in Asia! LAK24 Homepage: https://www.solaresearch.org/events/lak/lak24/ GENERAL CALL The 2024 edition of The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK24) will take place in Kyoto, Japan. LAK24 is organized by the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) with Kyoto University. LAK24 is a collaborative effort by learning analytics researchers and practitioners to share the most rigorous cutting edge work in learning analytics. The theme for the 14th annual LAK conference is Learning Analytics in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been relevant for learning analytics since the early days of the field. This has mostly been manifested by building upon the algorithms of machine learning to analyze data about learners and learning environments. The conversations about artificial intelligence in education used to be mostly contained within specialized communities of practitioners and researchers. Since late 2022, this has rapidly changed. Discourse in mainstream media and among the general public has been dominated by the coverage of the developments in generative artificial intelligence. The notable examples are such technologies as ChatGPT and DALL-E that harness the power of deep learning algorithms to generate impressively human-like text and images based on relatively simple human prompts. These technologies have given some glimpses about the emerging age of artificial intelligence. The prominence of artificial intelligence has also opened profound debates about implications on education from the need to develop relevant literacies to work with artificial intelligence to challenging the established notions of assessment in education. Through the theme of the 14th annual LAK conference, we encourage the authors to consider implications for learning analytics and the role the field can play in the age of artificial intelligence. The LAK conference is intended for both researchers and practitioners. We invite both researchers and practitioners of learning analytics to come and join a proactive dialogue around the future of learning analytics and its practical adoption. We further extend our invite to educators, leaders, administrators, government and industry professionals interested in the field of learning analytics and its related disciplines. We welcome submissions from both research and practice, encompassing different theoretical, methodological, empirical and technical contributions to the learning analytics field. Learning analytics research draws on many distinct academic fields, including psychology, the learning sciences, education, neuroscience, computer science and design. We encourage the submission of work conducted in any of these traditions, as long as it is done rigorously. We also welcome research that validates, replicates and examines the generalizability of previously published findings, as well as examines aspects of adoption of existing learning analytics methods and approaches. Specifically, this year, we encourage contributors to consider learning analytics in the age of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence offers novel technologies that can be useful for addressing important problems in learning analytics from analysis of large amounts of data to assessment and to generation of personalized feedback. Artificial intelligence sets the new context in education that has triggered many to take relevant steps to adapt from the ways we generate content to the ways we design assessments and to the types of skills we need to develop. Adaptation to this new context requires fundamental research about implications on learning, teaching, and education, and learning analytics can play a considerable role.
