[AISWorld] AMCIS 2020 CFP - Bright ICT Minitrack

[Jiyong Park]

*Minitrack: Bright ICT – Beyond Security and Privacy Concerns*

*Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)*

*AMCIS 2020*

*Salt Lake City, Utah, August 12-16 2020*



*CALL FOR PAPERS*



Global information and communication infrastructures and platforms have
made businesses and the broader society more efficient and effective.
However, many serious side effects have emerged alongside these information
and communications technology (ICT) platforms, imperiling the foundation of
future not only in a particular country, but also across borders. To reduce
the substantial adverse effects on our economy and national security, many
researchers pay high attention to the negative effects of ICT and
investigate concepts and approaches to drastically reduce its undesirable
consequences. Beyond simple concerns of security and privacy, we have to
establish safe and secure ICT platforms which can preventively identify and
mitigate malicious anonymous security and privacy concerns across the globe.



This minitrack extends the vision of ICT-enabled Bright Society adopted as
an AIS Grand Vision Project (in short, Bright ICT Initiative) in 2014 (see
Lee 2015).[1] <#_ftn1> In doing so, this minitrack encompasses the
development of relevant technologies, business models, public policies,
social norms, international agreements, and national indexes for bright,
secure, and trusted ICT platforms (including Internet architecture).
Systematic research on a global scale is particularly welcomed. This
minitack invites original research articles addressing a broad coverage of
technical, managerial, economic, and strategic solutions towards developing
the bright ICT platforms, with emphasis on global trust building. Papers
may employ any applicable IS research methods (e.g., case study, survey,
analytical modeling, experiments, computational models, design science,
etc.).
