AIS Colleagues,

Contribute your research to the SIGGIS Mini-Track at AMCIS 2019, Cancun Mexico:

*Location Analytics and Digital Convergence of Big Data, IoT, AI *and* the Cloud*

*Mini-Track Description:*

This mini-track provides a research forum on the varied aspects of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for digital convergence, organizational intelligence, location-based analytics, and geospatial data management. Aligned with the AMCIS 2019 theme, “New Frontiers in Digital Convergence”, manuscript submissions related to “Location Analytics and Digital Convergence of Big Data, IoT, AI and the Cloud” are encouraged. Digital convergence is enabled by various technologies such as “The Cloud”, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality, and is often facilitated and accelerated by locational data and spatial features of such technologies. Location sharing and geospatial data along with trends such as the “massification” of maps, demand for real-time information, and increasing deployment and adoption of location-embedded sensors and wearable devices, are impacting Digital Convergence enabling the blurring of boundaries between individuals, machines, organizations, and society at large.

This mini-track encourages and solicits completed research papers and Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers across topics such as –

1. Digital convergence, innovation, and impacts with GIS and spatial analytics,

2. Spatial AI, AR, and VR for digital convergence,

3. Digital convergence for spatial aspects of collaborative consumption and the sharing economy,

4. Geospatial big data and analytics,

5. Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery,

6. Spatial decision making and knowledge management,

7. Mobile location-based applications,

8. Cloud-based GIS concepts and applications,

9. Web-based GIS concepts and applications,

10. Spatial crowdsourcing,

11. Management decision-making using GIS, and managerial concerns,

12. Spatial workforce development,

13. Regulatory, privacy, security, ethical aspects concerning spatial data and related technologies,

14. Location-based theory,

15. Software development incorporating place,

16. Societal issues of big spatial data,

17. Investment in and benefits of GIS, spatial BI, or spatial analytics, and

18. Emerging areas of GIS and geospatial analytics for digital convergence.
