[AISWorld] AMCIS 2017 Last Call - Locational Big Data, Analytics and the Sharing Economy

[Daniel Farkas]

AIS Colleagues,

If your data or research has a location aspect, consider submitting to the
SIGGIS Minitrack, Locational Big Data, Analytics and the Sharing Economy.
AMCIS submission deadline is March 1.

AMCIS 2017, Boston
August 10-12, 2017

SIGGIS Minitrack on
Locational Big Data and Analytics: Implications for the Sharing Economy

The mini-track provides a research forum on varied aspects of GIS for
business intelligence, location-based analytics, knowledge management, and
spatial data management.  In concert with the AMCIStheme of advancing MIS
research, contributions related to location for the sharing economy are
encouraged, e.g. firms such as Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb depend on
enterprise-wide spatial software. Topics include locational aspects of the
sharing economy, spatial big data, spatial decision support, spatial
knowledge management, cloud-based GIS, spatial crowdsourcing, volunteered
geographic information (VGI), spatial workforce development, managerial
concerns, privacy, security, ethical aspects concerning the sharing
economy, mobile location-based applications, location-based theory, and
emerging areas of GIS and location analytics. The mini-track encourages
manuscript submissions on theory, methodology, applications, behavioral
studies, case studies, and emerging areas with particular encouragement for
the sharing economy.

Spatial technologies have been undergoing a major transformation based on
new and emerging geospatial technologies including management of the
sharing economy, 3-D modeling, LIDAR, unmanned spatial data collection,
space-time, and virtual reality of place. The relevance to research is to
build up greater knowledge of the geo-spatial aspects of decision-making,
management, and sharing economy, and to develop theory and applications,
sometimes building on well-known concepts in the Decision Support Systems,
Analytics and MIS fields. GIS and spatial technologies are growing rapidly
and becoming essential in business and government.

As the organizer of this mini-track, SIGGIS encourages and invites papers
on the aforementioned topics addressing important spatial questions in MIS,
business, economy, and society. More detailed information is available at
