Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems (APJIS), a SCOPUS
indexed
Journal
Special Issue: SMART SERVICES AND INTERNET OF THINGS
ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS:
APJIS is the premier journal on information systems research in
the Asia
Pacific region. The journal seeks to advance knowledge about the
effective
and efficient utilization of information technology by
individuals, groups,
organizations, society, and nations for the improvement of
economic and
social welfare. [

[THEME]
Internet of Things (IoT), which refers to "the networked
interconnection of
everyday objects, which are often equipped with ubiquitous
intelligence", is
now being implemented to many consumer products or services and
applied to
many different industries. Things that are previously not much to
do with
the Internet connectivity are now connected to the Internet and
provide
'smart services' to consumers of many industries.
This special issue on 'Smart Services and Internet of Things'
focuses on the
topics related to the applications of IoT to consumer products and
services,
which have become 'smarter' thanks to IoT. There are many
applications of
IoT that enable smart services. For example, with wearable
technologies,
wristwatches have become smarter (i.e., smartwatches) and have
enhanced
consumers' lives in various ways (e.g., fitness tracking, health
monitoring,
scheduling, communications support, etc.). Smart speakers (e.g.,
Google Home
and Amazon Echo) have improved consumers' experience in searching
information, managing time, online shopping, etc. Smart home
technologies
have helped us save energy consumption and have provided more
comfort in
everyday lives. There are many other applications of IoT and smart
services
applied in diverse industries, such as healthcare, agribusiness
(e.g., IoT
connected smart farms, vineyards, and fish-farms), tourism, and
transportation, to name a few. Moreover, even many municipal and
federal
governments are adopting IoT to improve their citizens' lives
better and
smarter (e.g., the city of Chicago). Smart services and IoT,
however,
present both opportunities and threats related to IT security. As
more
things (e.g., devices, sensors, homes, etc.) are connected to the
Internet,
more aspects of our lives become embedded in smart services
enabled by IoT.
Therefore, IT security issues with IoT and smart services would
become much
more important than those in conventional IT systems, since the
security
breaches to IoT and smart services might do serious harms to our
lives.
[TOPICS]
The following questions in general could be asked and explored in
this
special issue. What are the impact of IoT and smart services on
individuals,
groups, firms, industries, or countries? What are the challenges
and
successes in implementing IoT on smart services in various
industries? Why
are some implementations of IoT and smart services more successful
than
others? How do people/firms adopt IoT and smart services? What are
the
challenges and issues related to adopting IoT and smart services?
What are
the key security issues for IoT and smart services? All
conceptual,
analytical, technical, and empirical papers are welcome as long as
they
develop or extend theory and provide implications to practice. We
encourage
all research methodologies, including simulations, text-mining,
sentiment
analysis, field experiments/observations, case studies, surveys,
etc. Topics
of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Adoption and diffusion of IoT and smart services
- Applications and business models of IoT and smart services
- Business intelligence in IoT and smart services
- Business models and processes of IoT and smart services
- Case studies of IoT and smart services
- Challenges and successes in implementing IoT on smart services
- Concepts and theories of IoT and smart services
- Deviant consumer behaviors in smart services
- Impact of IoT and smart services on individuals, groups, firms,
industries, or countries
- IoT and smart cities
- IoT and smart factories/smart farms
- IoT and smart home
- IoT and smart products
- IoT and smart services in tourism, healthcare, game, and other
industries
- Policy, governance, and sustainability issues of IoT and smart
services
- Privacy and security issues for IoT and smart services
- Research methods in IoT and smart services
- Technologies for design IoT and smart services
