CALL FOR PAPERS

24th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2018) Aug. 16-18, 2018 New Orleans, LA, USA

Track: Data Science and Analytics for Decision Support

Minitrack 10: “The Analytics of Things”

A convergence of the Internet of Things, Big Data, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and analytics will occur as Moore’s Law impacts computational capabilities at the edge. The phrase, ‘Analytics of Things’ (AoT) has come to characterize this convergence. Companies are already undergoing strategic shifts to prepare for AoT-based competition. Product designers are rethinking traditional lifecycles as smart products will have dormant properties that can be ‘turned on’ long after a sale. New business models are already emerging, and for many organizations, there will be a profound shift from a product to a service focus. Predictive analytics at the edge will deliver personalized services in new environments including smart cities and stadiums. Machine learning at the edge will mean it is possible that unpredictable emergent system behavior will occur. There are entirely new strategic,behavioral, tactical, computational, ethical and governance implications to AoT. However, there is a short window of opportunity for the IS research community to help prepare for this future. This minitrack is designed to address a broad spectrum of research that can help to advance thought leadership in AoT.

Fit with the Minitrack:

This is a new minitrack, so a broad landscape of topics, ideas and methods are relevant. As the area rapidly evolves over the next few years, our objective is to be able to point back to AMCIS 2018 as having provided grass roots contributions that served to both define the scope of the area and to set the tone for requisite research rigor, relevance and significance.
