*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.
