*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.

Dates and submission details ============================ Submissions: September 30, 2016 Notification: October 31, 2016 Final manuscripts: November 30, 2016 Workshop: December 09, 2016
The workshop website is http://iot-smartcities.lero.ie/isca-2016/ where templates and further information are provided. The workshop will follow an ordinary scientific procedure with submission of papers and selection of papers through peer-review. Papers are expected to be between 7-16 pages. We welcome full research papers as well as shorter papers (work-in-progress or position papers). For submissions we use the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isca2016). The format of papers should follow the requirements of the ICIS2016 conference. Workshop proceedings will be electronically published and distributed.
