Meanwhile, ubiquitous computing and pervasive networks enable unprecedented research opportunities, including the types of online, digital experimentation that are changing the face of behavioral and social-science research. Given the increased importance of information security, IS researchers can build on these recent developments to provide further insights into issues relating to information security and privacy, specifically in the area of behavioral information security. This minitrack aims to showcase research that uses modern techniques such as agent-based models/simulations and online digital experimentation to expand the behavioral security and privacy knowledge base. These approaches are meant to complement other on-going research efforts in the examination of human behavior and its influence on the security and privacy of information at the personal, organizational, and/or societal levels.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; line-height: 14.65pt;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420760816266_65068"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Call for Papers</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420760816266_64995"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420760816266_65069">In today’s hyper-connected organizational environments, the influence of individuals’ behavior on information security and privacy is increasingly difficult to conceptualize. However, recent advances in related fields such as behavioral operations research, computational economics, and generative social science show much promise in enabling researchers to model human behavior and associated consequences of the modeled activity. Additionally, ubiquitous computing and pervasive networks enable researchers to capture behavioral data in novel ways. Digital experimentation and the use of wearable devices and/or sensors are examples of new and exciting ways researchers can glean insights into individuals’ behavior. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420760816266_65071"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1420760816266_65070">This minitrack seeks completed papers and research-in-progress that utilize or exhibit novel approaches to behavioral information security and/or information privacy issues.
