[AISWorld] CFP: ICIS 2023 track on “IoT, Smart Cities, Services, and Government"

[Satish Krishnan]

Dear All,

Consider submitting your research to ICIS 2023 track on "IoT, Smart 
Cities, Services, and Government."

Track Description

Advances in digital technology has culminated in new, and more 
sophisticated, nuanced forms of services. The Internet of Things (IoT) 
is one such digital technology that, by making the world around us more 
connected and responsive, has spawned unique service innovations that 
blur the lines between the digital and physical worlds. IoT refers to 
the network of internet-connected physical devices or "things" that 
collect and exchange data via actuators, embedded sensors, software, or 
other technologies. Combining artificial intelligence, big data 
analytics, cloud computing, and mobile technologies, these devices span 
from individual wearables to intelligent household appliances to 
cutting-edge industrial applications that enable seamless communication 
between people, processes, and things. With the proliferation of 
connected IoT devices, the data generated by these devices is growing 
exponentially, opening up enticing research avenues on techniques to 
collect, store, model, process, analyze, apply, and secure the massive 
volume of data in order to generate insights that will steer the 
development of smart services. It is therefore not unsurprising that IoT 
is anticipated to have a significant impact on the increasingly 
service-based economy by revolutionizing business strategies, 
operations, security, service provision, supply chains, and numerous 
other facets of digital servicing.

In conjunction with the rise of smart services, the prevalence of 
digital government and smart cities is rapidly increasing. The term 
"smart city" refers to an urban environment where citizens' daily 
activities (work, school, safety, and leisure) are significantly 
enhanced above prior standards due to the implementation of modern 
information technologies. These enhancements span various aspects, 
including economic, governmental, and sociopolitical, among others. In 
this regard, deriving and gaining insights into how cities can extract 
value from context-aware data gathered via digital technologies (e.g., 
IoT) for both citizens and governments has become crucial for developing 
the capacity to swiftly respond to and recover from unanticipated events 
such as the global COVID-19 pandemic. With the digitization of 
governments globally, new forms of value co-creation in citizen 
participation and service development and delivery are emerging within 
and across individuals and governments.

We welcome submissions of all research types, including conceptual and 
empirical studies that address social and technical aspects of IoT, 
Smart Cities, Services, and Government.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  	* IoT platform architecture, governance, and interaction
  	* Assessing and realizing business value of IoT

in datafied government systems
  	* Innovation and value co-creation in the public sector
  	* Service innovation, service systems, and service quality
  	* Citizen involvement in service co-development and performance
  	* Opportunities and challenges of unprecedented circumstances 
including socio-political, economic, and cultural disruptions on service 
access and provision
  	* Role of citizen involvement in the context of smart cities
