[AISWorld] ICIS 2018, CFP - Pre-Conference Workshop: Location Analytics and the Location of Things

[Daniel Farkas]

Apologies for cross-postings.

Colleagues,

As part of the pre-ICIS Workshop on “Location Analytics and Location
Things: Connectedness and Collaboration”, 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, location-aware Internet of Things (IoT), its
applications in the collaborative (or sharing) economy, and case examples,
especially as they relate to research areas in Management Information
Systems.

Location analytics and GIS have become deeply integrated into society,
transforming every aspect of human’s life. These technologies move the
Internet beyond cyberspace to the location-aware Internet of Things (IoT),
so-called Location of Things (LoT). They enable connections among objects
whether they are fixed (such as appliances at homes and warehouses) or
moving (such as cars, pedestrians, and trucks), helping cooperation of
these objects and the analysis of their mobility patterns in space and
time. While
locational technologies can create value, the very success of these
technologies also raises issues related to the use of spatial data, such as
privacy and trust.

Manuscripts focusing on conceptual model, theory, methodology,
applications, behavioral studies, and case studies with regard to emerging
opportunities and issues in location analytics, location-aware IoT, or GIS,
and its applications in the collaborative economy are welcome in the
following areas:

*Potential topics (not limited to topics listed below):*

·         Location analytics

·         Location-aware IoT

·         Spatial decision support

·         Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery

·         Web-based GIS concepts and applications

·         Social media location analytics

·         Location analytics in the collaborative (or sharing) economy

·         Location-aware IoT in the collaborative (or sharing) economy

·         Mobile-based location analytics and applications

·         Security and privacy of location information

·         Diffusion and benefits of location analytics, location-aware IoT,
and GIS

·         Managerial concerns in location analytics

·         Ethical aspects of location-aware IoT and GIS in general

·         Location analytics and GIS workforce, training, and education

·         Spatial Crowdsourcing

·         Cloud-based location analytics or GIS

·         Emerging opportunities and issues in location analytics,
location-aware IoT, or GIS

·         Use of location analytics and GIS in nonprofit organizations.

·         Country-level studies of the use of location analytics and GIS.

·         Descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive location analytics



Authors are encouraged to clearly identify and articulate the role of
location or place in the research questions.
