(Apologies for cross-listings)

Colleagues,

*Digital Innovation with GIS and Location Analytics*

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 social media and its roles in
innovation ecosystems, and case examples, especially as they relate to
research areas in Management Information Systems.

*Call for Papers*

Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing
services, and advanced data analytics are defining the present time. These
technologies enable digital transformation and innovation, that helps
address the economic and social challenges emerging today. Less known is
the importance of GIS and location analytics for digital innovation.

Location analytics and GIS have become deeply integrated into society,
transforming every aspect of human life. These technologies move the
Internet beyond cyberspace to the location-aware (or geospatial) Internet
of Things (IoT). They enable connections among objects whether they are
fixed or moving, 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 are solicited 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 social media, and its roles in the
innovation ecosystems 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.

*IMPORTANT DATES:*

   - Deadline to submit papers: October 15, 2019 (no later than midnight
   EST).
   - Author notification of paper acceptance: November 1, 2019 (no later
   than midnight EST).

*PAPER FORMAT, SUBMISSION, REVIEW, PUBLICATION, and PRESENTATION:*



   - Completed papers should be submitted to Dr. Avijit Sarkar by email:
   Avijit_Sarkar at redlands.edu with “Pre-ICIS SIGGIS 2019 Workshop: Research
   Paper Submission” in the subject line.
   - Papers should not exceed 6,000 words including all text, abstract,
   figures, tables, references, and appendices.
   - Papers should conform to the ICIS 2019 submission template available
   at
   https://icis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/submission-instructions/
   - All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
   - Papers will be published as part of Proceedings of SIGGIS 2019
   pre-ICIS Workshop at http://aisel.aisnet.org/siggis/
   - At least one author must register and attend SIGGIS 2019 pre-ICIS
   Workshop to present the paper. Paper presentation is tentatively scheduled
   as part of the Workshop on Thursday, December 15, 2019.
   - Publication in the proceedings does not preclude subsequent journal
   submission. The Special Issue on “Convergence of Social Media and GIS” of
   International Journal on Geo-Information (Cite Score 2.58) is being edited
   by James Pick. Submissions are encouraged, with due date for submissions is
   December 31, 2019.
