Mini-track #4: Data Analytics for Designing and Managing Sustainable
Practices:

Green IS utilizing data analytics tools combined with the use of
technologies such as biometrics, RFID, IoT, and AI offer organizations
endeavoring for environmental sustainability to create new knowledge and
insights. These insights can help organizations better connect and
configure the disparate system of human activities into an integrated and
interlocking whole. Use of big data and location analytics can help align
the three dimensions of green IS - technology, people, and institutions.
For example, location analytics can contribute to the design and
functioning of sustainable smart cities and have the potential to enable
sustainable ecological, economic and social practices. IS researchers are
therefore presented with opportunities to investigate the impact of big
data, location analytics, biometrics, and similar technologies in enhancing
sustainable practices. This mini-track invites research papers to
understand the theoretical framework and enabling technologies that inform
the integration of infrastructures and urban services, social structures,
and governance.

Suggested Topics:
·       Models and metrics using IS technologies in improving energy
efficiencies in organizations
·       Big Data/Analytics in Green IS management
·       Use of analytics to promote sustainability and competitiveness
·       Role of online social networks in promoting environmental
sustainability
·       Monitoring and recording the environmental impact of business
processes utilizing emerging technologies such as IoT
·       Studies in use of location analytics in sustainability efforts in
organizations/industries
·       Exploring models for systems integration, entrenched organization
culture, employee & consumer behavior, costs, and scalability in Green IS
context
·       Role of AI in Green IS
·       Information systems for raising environmental awareness
·       Privacy and security issues in the environmental sustainability
context
