OVERVIEW OF THE MINITRACK
Description: This mini-track addresses issues organizations face
as they
seek to provide services to end-users through wearable or
autonomous mobile
devices using the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The
IoT
allows connectivity of billions of mobile devices that can perform
physical, sensing, and analytical services to users. Many of these
devices
exist in physical proximity to the user making up part of the
user’s
personal area network (PAN). Others are wearable devices that
sense and
track metrics about the quantified self and make up the user’s
body area
network (BAN). Finally, other mobile devices are semi-autonomous
or
autonomous and can move and actuate on their surroundings in an
effort to
provide services to users who may or may not be in physical
proximity of
the devices. These scenarios create business opportunities for
organizations seeking to provide services to these users. However,
these
opportunities create numerous questions that have not been
adequately
researched:
1. Applicable business models for these services.
2. Technical issues that must be resolved to provide these
services.
3. Data analysis issues requiring big data management techniques.
4. How value is co-created in these service settings.
5. The role of externalities as the IoT grows to incorporate
billions
of users and devices.
6. Privacy issues as more and more data about the quantified-self
are
collected.
7. How mobile devices contact and form business relationships with
other devices to provide services.
8. Security and privacy issues.
In addition, very few empirical studies have been conducted on
using the
Internet of Things to provide such services. We encourage authors
to share
new and interesting theoretical and methodological perspectives on
topics
relevant to both academic researchers and practitioners. Among
other
approaches, we welcome work-in-progress studies that examine
existing and
extended theory using the business value of IT methodologies for
business
models, service science in the context of mobile devices, and
diffusion of
innovation studies on the adoption and acceptance of wearable or
autonomous
mobile devices. We give special consideration to research
submissions when
the author(s) commit to include an industry partner in their
presentation.
We welcome any research that reflects a range of contemporary
research
methods, including case studies, analytical models, conceptual
studies,
econometrics, and frameworks.
*Topics. *The following areas are suggestive of the range of
topics that
are considered suitable:
· Case studies of IoT-enabled service provision using wearable or
autonomous mobile devices
· Business models for services using wearable or autonomous mobile
devices
· Forecasting the technical evolution of IoT-enabled wearable and
autonomous mobile devices
· Application of service science and service-dominant logic to
wearable or smart devices
· Methods to analyze data from wearable or autonomous mobile
devices
· Advances in the user interface when providing services through
mobile devices
· Integrating wearable or autonomous devices into IoT and other
larger systems
· Designing, planning, building and managing IoT-enabled
infrastructures and platforms
· IoT-enabled wearable or autonomous mobile devices for supply
chain
management (SCM)
· Managing the technical integration of wearable or autonomous
mobile devices with other devices, wireless sensor networks, RFID
systems,
and larger distribution systems
· Cultural and social implications of IoT-enabled mobile computing
devices
· Safeguarding security and privacy, personal safety, and quality
of
life issues
