AIS Pre-ICIS Workshop on “IoT & Smart City
Challenges and Applications” – ISCA 2016
http://iot-smartcities.lero.ie/isca-2016/
December 9, 2016, Dublin, Ireland
Background – New episode in Smart City research
===============================================
Urban IoT solutions and Smart Cities are exciting research areas
and it bears historical potential for the Information Systems (IS)
discipline to demonstrate their relevance. Urban IoT solutions and
Smart Cities deal with the design, use and impact of information
systems in our everyday working and living environment, so they
affect the quality of both life and work for all of us. The shift
towards a more multidisciplinary perspective on the IoT &
Smart City discourse signals the journey of technological
solutions towards becoming integral part of every aspect of our
society. As a consequence, there is a growing need to provide more
meaningful IT solutions incorporating the needs of the urban
society. This is where contributions from IS research are needed
in order to study and design urban IoT solutions and smart systems
from a socio-technical systems perspective. At the same time IS
research needs to partner up with colleagues from other
disciplines, such as Science Technology & Society,
Architecture and Design, Geography and Anthropology, just to name
a few.
Discussions around urban socio-economic development and quality of
life have for long placed technology in the centre of attention,
(Zinam, 1989). IoT and Smart city challenges therefore represent
contemporary urban and social challenges. Building on early
iterations of the Smart City definitions, urban information
systems encompass more than just pieces of technology. They refer
to a way of thinking, acting and organizing in the contemporary
urban society. Not surprisingly, we put great hope and investments
into IoT and Smart City initiatives. We expect nothing less from a
city that engages in such initiatives, than dramatically
increasing the pace at which a city can improve its value
proposition to society and economy, the integration between its
services, as well as ‘…its sustainability and resilience by
fundamentally improving how it engages society, how it applies
collaborative leadership methods, how it works across disciplines
and city systems, and how it uses data and integrated
technologies, in order to transform services and quality of life
to those in and involved with the city’ (The International
Organisation for Standardisation’s Smart City definition, 2015).
Despite its importance, IS research on urban IoT and Smart Cities
is still fairly scarce. This Pre-ICIS Workshop, therefore, intends
to foster research on IoT and Smart Cities, and to push the
discourse to a next level, opening up to a new episode of IoT and
Smart Cities that takes a socio-technical perspective on
innovating and improving our working and living environment, which
we believe is exciting and of high relevance for both practice and
the field.
Workshop focus
==============
The unique value of Information Systems as a discipline lies in
its ability to integrate practical solutions with socio-technical
thinking about contemporary issues. Smart City & Urban IoT
initiatives offer a platform for conversation among experts in
information technology, business and society. This AIS Pre-ICIS
Workshop has a general orientation towards successful Smart
Cities, including citizens, policy makers, infrastructure
services, industry representatives, sociologists and academics.
The focus is on “IoT & Smart City Challenges and Applications”
with both practical implementations as well as theoretical
solutions to modern cities’ concerns welcomed.
Workshop purpose
================
ISCA 2016 workshop aims to bring together practitioners and
academics to discuss how cities can benefit from a better
integration of information systems underpinning our daily lives.
The purpose of the ISCA 2016 workshop is to bring forward the
current empirical and theoretical works in Urban IoT & Smart
Cities through two themes – Business Processes and Information
Systems and Enterprise Architecture. The workshop intends to
feature contributions from the perspective of computer science as
well as business and society. The goal is to create a platform
where scholars studying Urban IoT & Smart City initiatives may
enrich their understanding of the current Smart City discourse and
implemented solutions.
Best Papers/Publication
=======================
Best papers of the workshop will be fast tracked at the AIS
Journal JITTA (Journal of Information Technology Theories &
Applications). With 17 years of tradition, JITTA is considered in
a number of databases and rankings world-wide and it has been
identified an A Journal in Australian Business Deans Council
Journal Quality List 2013 (on a four-Tier scale of A*, A, B, and
C). JITTA is also included in the Journal List of the Chartered
Association of Business Schools (United Kingdom) and the VHB
Journal List (German Academic Association for Business Research).
A journal dedicated to high impact and fast tracked publications
in topical application areas of IS research (vom Brocke, 2014),
JITTA specifically welcomes high quality contributions to the
field of Urban IoT and Smart Cities research.
