Dear AoIR Colleagues, We are organizing a symposium, "Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond Privacy and Security Goals” at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (https://hicss.hawaii.edu/about/) in January, 2020. We seek to engage scholars across a wide range of domains. Please see our call for participation below. Call for Participation (http://futureinternet.net/hicss -53-symposium-governing-big-data/) "Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond Privacy and Security Goals" Tuesday, January 7, 2020 1 – 4 PM Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii (USA) One of the grand challenges of the big data era is how we can harness growing stockpiles of data resources for societal good in sectors such as health, energy, conservation and environmental planning, urban planning for transportation and housing, education, government and so on, amidst many competing claims on these data. Governance involves values, norms, and ethics that guide management of and access to big data stockpiles, as well as institutional structures and policies for realizing goals. Governance goals include making data available for innovation and advancements in science, policy and business as well as limiting data accumulation and access when potential harms outweigh potential good. The HICSS-53 Symposium “Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond Privacy and Security Goals” http://hicss.hawaii.edu/swt /data-analytics/#s-governing-big-data will gather together researchers interested in innovative research on data governance, big data, and societal challenges. The symposium will begin with a panel on “Governing Big Data for Grand Challenges”. Speakers include: · Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, Shidler College of Business, University of Hawai’i Manoa (moderator) · Dr. Sirkka Jarvenpaa, McCombs School of Business, University of Texas Austin (governance and uses of genomic databases) · Dr. Lisen Selander, Division of Informatics, University of Gothenburg (collective intelligence and citizen data for social good) · Dr. Jenifer Sunrise Winter, School of Communications, University of Hawai’i Manoa (organizational forms of personal health data governance) *We invite researchers to give a 5-minute “TREO” presentation on related research.* *Please submit a 1-page extended abstract to Crystal Boyce-Gudat cboyce@hawaii.edu <cboyce@hawaii.edu> by November 15, 2019. *The SWT organizers will review TREO proposals for fit to the topic (and space available, 5-8 TREOs) and notify presenters by December 1, 2019. TREO topics and presenters will be posted to the HICSS website once confirmed. The workshop will wrap up with open discussion of key topics and issues for collaborative research and with publication opportunities, including a planned special issue in *Information and Organization.* SWT organizers: Jenifer Winter University of Hawaii at Manoa jwinter@hawaii.edu Elizabeth Davidson University of Hawaii at Manoa edavidso@hawaii.edu Crystal Boyce-Gudat (Primary Contact) University of Hawaii at Manoa cboyce@hawaii.edu Notice: *This symposium is organized in collaboration with NSF Grant #1827592 (Emergence of Organizational Forms of Data Governance in the Big Data Era)* Aloha, Jenifer Jenifer Sunrise Winter, Ph.D. Professor, School of Communications, University of Hawaii at Manoa Chair, Communication and Information Sciences Interdisciplinary PhD Program PI, “Emergence of Organizational Forms of Data Governance in the Big Data Era”, National Science Foundation Co-director, Pacific ICTD Collaborative Associate Editor, Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society 2550 Campus Road, Crawford Hall 325, Honolulu, HI 96822 ph: 808.956.3784
