[AISWorld] ICIS 2017 (Seoul) - CFP - Pre-conference Workshop on Location Analytics

[Daniel Farkas]

(Apologies for cross/multiple listings)

AIS Colleagues,

As part of its pre-ICIS Workshop on “Location Analytics and the Competitive
Advantage of Place: Theory and Practice”, the Special Interest Group on
Geographic Information Systems (SIGGIS) of the Association for Information
Systems (AIS) seeks theoretical and empirical research papers focusing on
location analytics theory, applications, and practice – especially as they
relate to areas of research interest in Management Information Systems.

Please direct questions to dfarkas at pace.edu (Please start subject line:
*Pre-ICIS SIGGIS 2017 Workshop).*
Rapid expansion in analytics and big data technologies along with the
concomitant explosive growth in the production and availability of
geographically referenced data from a plethora of geotagged sensors,
wearables, household devices connected to the internet, and mobile phones
motivate new and interesting research questions and spur research agendas
pertaining to location analytics. Examples include but are not restricted
to management and analytics for spatial big data, spatial knowledge
management, theory development, cloud-based GIS, spatial crowdsourcing,
spatial workforce, behavioral research, geo-design, privacy and security
aspects, mobile location-based applications, and new and emerging areas
such as locational patterns and consumer behavior in traditional economies
as well as sharing/collaborative-consumption based economies.

Manuscripts focusing on theory, methodology, applications, behavioral
studies, case studies, and emerging areas in Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and location analytics are welcome
