[AISWorld] ICIS 2019 - Pre-Conference CFP - Location Analytics

[Daniel Farkas]

(Apologies for cross-postings)

Colleagues,

Please join SIGGIS in Munich at ICIS 2019!

As part of the pre-ICIS Workshop on “Digital Innovation with GIS and
Location Analytics: the Use of Esri ArcGIS Online, Business Analyst, and
Insights”, 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 the innovation ecosystems, and case examples, especially
as they relate to research areas in Management Information Systems.

·  Deadline to submit papers: October 15, 2019 (no later than midnight EST).

· 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.

·  All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.

·  Papers will be published as part of Proceedings of SIGGIS 2019 pre-ICIS
Workshop in the AIS eLibrary: http://aisel.aisnet.org/siggis/.

·  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.

·  Further submission details below and at:

*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 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 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:

·         Location analytics

·         Location-aware IoT

·         Spatial decision support

·         Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery

·         Web-based GIS concepts and applications

·         Social media location analytics

·         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.
