Colleagues,
*Digital Innovation with GIS and Location Analytics*
The Special Interest Group on Geographic Information Systems
(SIGGIS) of
the Association for Information Systems (AIS) seeks theoretical
and
empirical research papers focusing on location analytics,
location-aware
Internet of Things (IoT), its applications in social media and its
roles in
innovation ecosystems, and case examples, especially as they
relate to
research areas in Management Information Systems.
*Call for Papers*
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud
computing
services, and advanced data analytics are defining the present
time. These
technologies enable digital transformation and innovation, that
helps
address the economic and social challenges emerging today. Less
known is
the importance of GIS and location analytics for digital
innovation.
Location analytics and GIS have become deeply integrated into
society,
transforming every aspect of human life. These technologies move
the
Internet beyond cyberspace to the location-aware (or geospatial)
Internet
of Things (IoT). They enable connections among objects whether
they are
fixed or moving, helping cooperation of these objects and the
analysis of
their mobility patterns in space and time. While locational
technologies
can create value, the very success of these technologies also
raises issues
related to the use of spatial data, such as privacy and trust.
Manuscripts are solicited focusing on conceptual model, theory,
methodology, applications, behavioral studies, and case studies
with regard
to emerging opportunities and issues in location analytics,
location-aware
IoT, or GIS, and its applications in social media, and its roles
in the
innovation ecosystems are welcome in the following areas:
Potential topics (not limited to topics listed below):
- Location analytics
- Location-aware IoT
- Spatial decision support
- Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery
- Web-based GIS concepts and applications
- Social media location analytics
- Location analytics in the collaborative (or sharing) economy
- Location-aware IoT in the collaborative (or sharing) economy
- Mobile-based location analytics and applications
- Security and privacy of location information
- Diffusion and benefits of location analytics, location-aware
IoT, and
GIS
- Managerial concerns in location analytics
- Ethical aspects of location-aware IoT and GIS in general
- Location analytics and GIS workforce, training, and education
- Spatial Crowdsourcing
- Cloud-based location analytics or GIS
- Emerging opportunities and issues in location analytics,
location-aware IoT, or GIS
- Use of location analytics and GIS in nonprofit organizations.
- Country-level studies of the use of location analytics and GIS.
- Descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive location analytics
Authors are encouraged to clearly identify and articulate the role
of
location or place in the research questions.
*IMPORTANT DATES:*
- Deadline to submit papers: October 15, 2019 (no later than
midnight
EST).
- Author notification of paper acceptance: November 1, 2019 (no
later
than midnight EST).
- Final papers due: November 15, 2019 (no later than midnight
EST).
*PAPER FORMAT, SUBMISSION, REVIEW, PUBLICATION, and PRESENTATION:*
- Completed papers should be submitted to Dr. Avijit Sarkar by
email:
Avijit_Sarkar@redlands.edu with “Pre-ICIS SIGGIS 2019 Workshop:
Research
Paper Submission” in the subject line.
- Papers should not exceed 6,000 words including all text,
abstract,
figures, tables, references, and appendices.
- Papers should conform to the ICIS 2019 submission template
available
at
https://icis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/submission-instructions/
- All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
- Papers will be published as part of Proceedings of
SIGGIS 2019 pre-ICIS Workshop at
http://aisel.aisnet.org/siggis/
- At least one author must register and attend
SIGGIS 2019 pre-ICIS Workshop to present the paper. Paper
presentation is
tentatively scheduled as part of the Workshop on Thursday,
December
15, 2019.
- Publication in the proceedings does not preclude subsequent
journal
submission. The Special Issue on “Convergence of Social Media and
GIS” of
International Journal on Geo-Information (Cite Score 2.58) is
being edited
by James Pick. Submissions are encouraged, with due date for
submissions is
December 31, 2019.
- This Call for Papers along with an Announcement on
SIGGIS 2019 pre-ICIS Workshop on “Digital Innovation with GIS and
Location
Analytics: the Use of ArcGIS Online, Business Analyst, and
Insights” can be
found at
