(Apologies for cross-listings)
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:*
