CALL FOR PAPERS
28th Australasian Conference on Information Systems
4th-6th December 2017,
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia,
https://www.acis2017.org<https://www.acis2017.org/>
The Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) is the premier conference in the Australasian region for the Information Systems discipline. This year will mark the 28th year of the conference?s long history. ACIS 2017 will be hosted by the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia, at the Wrest Point Hotel Casino<http://wrestpoint.com.au/>.
Information Systems is a young, broad discipline that has already been exposed to change and challenge through ICT based innovation of business and the blurring of boundaries between business and the community. Ultimately, our breadth of inquiry is a strength of the Information Systems community but one that may be viewed as a weakness when not clearly communicated. This applies in particular given that IS as a discipline naturally interfaces across a range of disciplinary boundaries.
Accordingly, this year?s conference theme is Data, Knowledge and Decisions. With this theme, we wish to highlight both the reach of the Information Systems community to a plethora of disciplines, and also the variety of challenges, ranging from data analytics and decision making to inquiries about the very nature of data, knowledge, and decisions which may be conceptualised and experienced in very different ways.
Therefore, at ACIS 2017 we would like to challenge you to think critically about Data, Knowledge and Decisions. What are our challenges in light of the large volume of data currently being generated, which needs to be managed, organised and analysed to determine its value proposition? How can we support the creation of knowledge from the information that is created through the analysis of such data? As one of the fundamental roles of Information Systems is supporting decision making, how do we adjust our current understanding of Information Systems in response to new technology, such as social media?
Join us at ACIS2017 in Hobart, where we will explore these issues both through our plenary sessions and our collection of thematic tracks.

Full Research Papers
Completed research papers should include all details of the research undertaken including research method, data analyses and results. These papers should be of the highest academic standard. Papers can be conceptual in nature, technical or empirical. Empirical papers may report on research that is either quantitative or qualitative or mixed methods. Research papers must be no more than 10 pages in length and must adhere to the ACIS 2017 template.
Research-in-Progress Papers
Research-in-progress papers present an interesting research topic that has not yet been (fully) investigated but that will be of interest to the Information Systems community. These papers should include expected results/conclusions, but may lack actual results or may have only preliminary results. Research-in-progress papers are still expected to apply the same standards of academic rigour as is the case for research papers. In particular, research-in-progress papers are not unfinished research papers; it is the research itself that is unfinished. Research in progress papers should be no more than 8 pages in length and adhere to the ACIS 2017 template.
Research-in-progress papers will be presented by the authors as posters in a dedicated session during the conference. The best accepted research-in-progress papers will be invited to be presented in a regular presentation session and be published in the proceedings.
Submissions of both Research and Research in progress papers should be made to the track that best fits the topic area (see above).
Panel, Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
Shortly we will also invite proposals for panels, workshops and tutorial sessions. Details on the format of these sessions and on the review process will follow in a separate call for submissions and will be made available via the ACIS 2017 website.

On August 7 the first run of the free FutureLearn online course 'Process mining in healthcare' started, but you can still join<https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/process-mining-healthcare?utm_campaign=eindhoven_university_of_technology_process_mining_healthcare_august_2017&utm_medium=organic_email&utm_source=newsletter_broadcast>!
Healthcare in particular has come under increasing pressure to reduce cost while improving the quality of care. One way to achieve this is by further improving the efficiency of treatment processes: by making more efficient use of the scarce resources, only effective treatments are executed. Luckily, the advance of big data and increased support of information systems in day-to-day healthcare processes provide the data needed to find efficiency gains.
Process mining is a novel collection of techniques that connects the areas of data science and business process management. Using process mining techniques healthcare processes can be analysed in great detail. Based on event data (what happened when, by which resource, and for which patient), process mining techniques can automatically discover process models, describing the process flow of the majority of patient treatments. Existing process models or guidelines can be validated against the event data, in order to analyse deviations. Performance and bottleneck information can be projected on process models to easily detect where most time is spent in a process. Also the social network of how resources in a process collaborate and hand over work can be analysed, all based on the event data containing four columns: what, when, for which patient, and by whom.
In this free course<https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/process-mining-healthcare?utm_campaign=eindhoven_university_of_technology_process_mining_healthcare_august_2017&utm_medium=organic_email&utm_source=newsletter_broadcast> you will learn how process mining can provide answers to the most common challenges in healthcare. We will discuss the healthcare environment, and spend significant time on how to get the right data. We also provide example datasets, both artificial and from real-life, which are used in tutorials where our free and open source process mining software ProM is applied, by you!
We will also present several case studies, where process mining techniques have been applied in real healthcare organisations. For each case study we will discuss the main goal, provide an overview of the obtained results, and provide the key conclusions and impact on the processes. These case studies are contributed by different partners.
The course 'Process mining in healthcare' is an initiative of the European Data Science Academy EU project<http://edsa-project.eu/>, and the 'Process mining for healthcare' consortium<http://www.processmining4healthcare.org/>. Lead educator is dr.ir. Joos Buijs from Eindhoven University, who specialises in process mining in the healthcare domain.

Overview
Health care innovations have always been important to the advancement of medical care and the well-being of the individual. These innovations have taken on an even greater significance in the recent decade due to the national attention on making affordable care accessible to more people by reducing the overall cost of care. These innovations can be seen in products as well as services that complement the health care industry. Some of these innovations occur inside the medical facility while others are present outside medical facilities. Technology artefacts that support innovations in patient care need to consider the complex care process between patients and a team of health care providers. This calls for an integration of these technology artefacts (products) with innovative care processes to align the goals of many of these care providers with the health needs of their patients. The goal of this workshop is to look at a mix of product and process innovations in each stage of the care cycle: preventive care, "hospital" care and post-discharge care. The workshop panelists will present their work in the design and delivery of health care innovations as well as opportunities and challenges in assimilating such innovations into the care processes.

Call for Papers, Abstracts, Demos and Posters
1st Workshop on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITIES
AI-VR-AR 2017
in conjunction with SIGGRAPH ASIA 2017
27th-30th November 2017
Bangkok, Thailand
http://aivr.ambientmediaassociation.org
The workshop intends to attract a broad range of contributions to develop this scholarly field during a full day venue.
We invite scholars and practitioners to discuss synergies between virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR) and artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The aim is to gather a cross-disciplinary team of experts with a background
in computer science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), psychology/cognitive sciences, culture/communication studies,
design and art to develop this fascinating intersection. The aspects to discuss range from user-experience, technologies
applications, methods, cultural implications, communication theories, to artistic approaches.
Workshop Highlights:
- Workshop proceedings published in a Scopus indexed series
- Best papers are published as part of an edited book or journal special issue with high level publisher
- Submission deadline: 15 August, 2017
=================================================================================================
While AI's main aim is to replicate human intelligence, AR and VR focuses its research efforts on the creation of artificial
worlds either in complete virtual world, or as part of our physical environment. Many examples that bridge the two fields have
emerged recently, e.g. intelligence in digital games, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning and AI, emotional
and affective interaction, etc. Thus, while AI and VR/AR went rather distinct research pathways, we attempt to bring them together,
and discuss different aspects at the intersection of machine intelligence and human interaction in a mixed reality. We raise the
question: what happens when artificial worlds start to think, and we humans interact with it? We would like to follow up the
philosophical discussions around issues such as what happens when things start to think, and Alan Turing's works. In this workshop,
we would like to raise a question: what would happen when artificial worlds start to think, and how we humans can interact and
communicate with AI through e.g. affective interfaces?
As our emphasis is on creating the synergy between VR/AR and AI/ML, we are not limited to particular areas; instead, the following
exemplary topics might help to gather ideas for a possible contribution: affective and emotional computation, communication
with AI, digital game analytics, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep learning, personalization and recommender
systems, UX with agents and physical robots, cultural robotics, or AI in information visualization.

CALL FOR PAPERS
33rd Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
Track on Collective Adaptive Systems
9-13 April 2018, Pau, France
*http://sac-cas2018.apice.unibo.it/cfp.html
<http://sac-cas2018.apice.unibo.it/cfp.html>*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aims and Scope
==================
Nowadays, most aspects of our daily life are affected by pervasive
technology, consisting of massive numbers of heterogeneous components
(e.g., devices, software applications, smart objects), featuring complex
interactions among them and, possibly, with humans.
These complex systems are typically referred to as Collective Adaptive
Systems (CAS). Such systems have to be equipped with dynamic and autonomous
adaptation capabilities, to deal with changes in their working environments
and within themselves. CAS are also collective systems as they involve huge
collections of cooperating components, trading off individual tasks with
overall system goals.
The development of CAS is closely related to other contemporary software
engineering approaches, such as self-adaptive systems, component-based
systems, service-based systems, middleware platforms, as well as other
areas of Computer Science, such as Distributed Artificial Intelligence,
Agent-based Programming, Pervasive Computing, Internet of Things, and
Autonomic Computing.
This track aims to provide them with a common forum for discussing their
different viewpoints and for sharing ideas. On this very subject, the aim
is to attract relevant and consistent contributions from many different
research communities.
The Special Track on Collective Adaptive Systems deliberately takes a broad
view of what CAS are and how they should be designed, analysed, implemented
and deployed. In particular, of interest to the track are both foundational
views (e.g., theories, methods, formalisms, models) and practical aspects
(e.g., development methodologies, programming languages, middleware,
development and runtime environments, tools). Moreover, also applications
of CAS solutions to real-world case studies are welcomed.
Major topics of interest this year will include the following:
- Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques for
CAS
- Formal aspects for CAS
- Self-* and emerging properties of CAS
- Middleware platforms for CAS
- Knowledge Management and Decision Process Support for CAS
- Context-aware and adaptive management for CAS
- Domain-specific Modeling and Languages for CAS
- Maintenance and evolution for CAS
- Software architectures and software engineering techniques for CAS
- Reverse engineering and re-engineering for CAS
- Testing, verification, and validation for CAS
- Security, trust and privacy management for CAS
- CAS emerging technologies and infrastructures: IoT and Cloud
- Scenarios, case studies and experience reports of CAS
Proceedings and Post-Proceedings
================================
Papers accepted for the Collective Adaptive Systems track will be published
by
ACM both in the SAC 2018 proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library.
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the
paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy
attending SAC MUST present the paper: This is a requirement for the
paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show
of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the
ACM/IEEE digital library.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of
their work to an international journal.
Student Research Competition (SRC) Program
==========================================
Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts
(maximum of 2 pages in ACM camera-ready format) following the
instructions published at SAC 2018 website. Submission of the
same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed.
All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and
practitioners with expertise in the track focus area to which they are
submitted. Authors of selected abstracts (up to 18 students) will have
the opportunity to give poster and oral presentations of their work
and compete for three top-winning places. The SRC committee will
evaluate and select First, Second, and Third place winners.
The winners will receive medals, cash awards, and SIGAPP recognition
certificates during the conference banquet. Invited students receive
SRC travel support (US$500) and are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP
Student Travel Award Program (STAP) for additional travel support.
Paper Submission
================
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered. This includes three categories of submissions:
1. original and unpublished research;
2. reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences,
engineering, business, government, education and industry;
3. reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.

Deadline for Submission: September 15, 2017<https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/big>
Special Issue Publication date: March 2018
**Please include the special issue title in your cover letter when submitting your manuscript.
Businesses are gathering an unprecedented amount of data to gain deeper insights into customer behavior and markets with the bottom line in mind. Popular analytical applications are: churn prediction, response modeling, credit risk modeling, sales forecasting and anomaly detection. Several analytical techniques have been developed to address such problems, where the focus has typically been on algorithmic complexity, statistical significance or detection power. However, to be successful from a business standpoint, analytical models need to do much more, namely, add business value, provide interpretability, enhance operational efficiency, and keep business compliant in following correct practices.
The objective of this special issue is to publish high-quality papers that address the added value of an analytical model from a business perspective. The issue will focus on methods, measurement, and practices that demonstrate business value. In addition to the usual technical evaluation criteria such as mean squared error, cross-entropy error, R-squared, lift curves, AUC, p-values, etc., the methods should make the connection to business value through the top or bottom line. The resulting findings and insights should help to further catalyze the impact of Big Data & Analytics in practical business applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Profit driven model evaluation and implementation
? Cost-sensitive learning for classification
? Cost-sensitive learning for regression
? Cost-sensitive learning for segmentation
? Cost-sensitive forecasting
? Uplift modeling
? Customer Lifetime Value modeling
? Economical aspects of analytical models: Return on Investment (ROI), Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), etc.
? Business value of big data technologies and models
? Applications in marketing analytics, risk analytics, insurance analytics, HR analytics, supply chain analytics, customer journey analytics, text analytics, process analytics, healthcare analytics, etc.
Submitted papers must contain new, unpublished, original, and fundamental work relating to the Big Data journal's mission statement. Purely theoretical papers, simple surveys, incremental contributions, and/or journalistic descriptions are not encouraged. Similarly, purely algorithmic development without practical applications and/or solely benchmarking exercises using test bed data sets are not part of the intended focus. All submissions will be reviewed using rigorous scientific criteria focusing on novelty and business impact.
