Chair of Information Systems and Operations Management Department, University of Florida, USA
Senior Editor, Information Systems Research (SSCI-Q1)

Keynote: "The rise of empirical online platform research in the new millennium"
Time: 10/20 Friday 8:20-9:20am

ABSTRACT: Online platforms have emerged as a dominant business model in numerous industries in the new millennium. In light of the substantial and burgeoning body of empirical platform research, this article synthesizes extant studies and identifies the evolution of underlying research methodologies and topics. Building upon a database of 860 empirical online platform papers in premier journals during the first two decades of the new millennium, this article presents a categorization framework based on the online platform type (including search platforms, e-commerce platforms, online communities, and mobile platforms) and research perspective (including platform participants, platform orchestrators, and platform ecosystems). We provide a critical review of noteworthy trends and highlight directions for future research in each category of the proposed framework. Finally, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is conducted to visualize and track scholarship in empirical online platform research.

Guy Gable, Ph.D.
Professor, School of Information Systems
Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia.
Co-Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, The Journal of Strategic Information Systems (SSCI-Q1)

Keynote: "Information systems research strategy"
Time: 10/20 Friday 9:50-10:50am

ABSTRACT: This presentation has two aligned aims: (i) to espouse the value of a strategic research orientation for the Information Systems Discipline; and (ii) to facilitate such a strategic orientation by recognising the value of programmatic research and promoting the publication of such work. It commences from the viewpoint that Information Systems (IS) research benefits from being strategic at every level, from: individual researcher, to research program, to research discipline, and beyond. It particularly advocates for more coordinated programs of research emphasising real-world impact, while recognising that vibrant, individual-driven, and small-team research within broad areas of promise, is expected to continue forming the core of the IS research ecosystem. Thus, the overarching aim is the amplification of strategic thinking in IS research, with emphasis on research programs as a main strategic lever.

Keynote: "A study on the use of online collaboration tools for mutual aid in emergencies"
Time: 10/20 Friday Dinner 8:00-9:00pm

ABSTRACT: In the past several decades we see more and more disasters around the world affecting people’s living and even their lives. How IT tools and digital technologies can play a role and provide help in these often-emergency situations, in my opinion, is an important research topic for information systems researchers. This talk reports on one recent study on this topic. This talk first gives an overview of information systems research studies on how digital technologies such as online collaboration tools can provide mutual aid during emergencies. It then goes on to present a recent study that specifically looks at how online collaboration tools enabled and supported mutual aid during the 2022 Shanghai COVID-19 lockdown using a technology affordances perspective. Through the findings of the study, it provides insight into how digital technologies may be leveraged for effective emergency responses.

Editor-in-Chief, INFORMS Journal on Data Science

Keynote: "How to "improve" prediction using behavior modification"
Time: 10/21 Saturday Dinner 8:00-9:00pm

ABSTRACT: Many internet platforms that collect behavioral big data use it to predict user behavior for internal purposes and for their business customers (e.g., advertisers, insurers, security forces, governments, political consulting firms) who utilize the predictions for personalization, targeting, and other decision-making. Improving predictive accuracy is therefore extremely valuable. Data science researchers design algorithms, models, and approaches to improve prediction. Prediction is also improved with larger and richer data. Beyond improving algorithms and data, platforms can stealthily achieve better prediction accuracy by "pushing" users' behaviors towards their predicted values, using behavior modification techniques, thereby demonstrating more certain predictions. Such apparent "improved" prediction can unintentionally result from employing reinforcement learning algorithms that combine prediction and behavior modification. This strategy is absent from the machine learning and statistics literature. Investigating its properties requires integrating causal with predictive notation. To this end, we incorporate Pearl's causal do(.) operator into the predictive vocabulary. We then decompose the expected prediction error given behavior modification, and identify the components impacting predictive power. Our derivation elucidates implications of such behavior modification to data scientists, platforms, their customers, and the humans whose behavior is manipulated. Behavior modification can make users' behavior more predictable and even more homogeneous; yet this apparent predictability might not generalize when customers use predictions in practice. Outcomes pushed towards their predictions can be at odds with customers' intentions, and harmful to manipulated users.

Bualuang ASEAN Professor Chair, Thammasat University (Bangkok, Thailand)
Editor-in-Chief, Computers in Human Behavior (SSCI-Q1)
Keynote: "Tools or partners: Integrating AI in business and healthcare between fear and opportunities"
Time: 10/22 Sunday 8:20-9:20am

ABSTRACT: The rise of AI is revolutionizing the way we see technology and interact with it. Although recent debates have mostly been centered on the impact of generative AI in education, the societal consequences of the development of these new technologies will touch all aspects of our daily lives. However, the reality of AI is more complex, with both generative AI, analytical AI, or task-specific AI, and with a potential reach extending far beyond the field of education, to encompass among others business, finance, or healthcare. How AI will impact our modern societies, both at the local and global levels? Can AI become a game changer, for the better or for the worse? What are the challenges and obstacles that prevent the implementation of AI in our societal systems? What opportunities could AI bring to better our societies? This presentation will explore the current perceptions of AI and the ways they could be integrated in a socially responsible way, and will suggest paths for solutions based on our representation of AI as either tools, or potential partners.

J. Christopher Westland, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Information and Decision Sciences
University of Illinois, Chicago, USA
Editor-in-Chief, Electronic Commerce Research (SSCI-Q3)

Keynote: "Three studies of blockchain-enabled markets"
Time: 10/22 Sunday 9:50-10:50am

ABSTRACT: This presentation summarizes my research on liquidity and fractal price cycles in blockchain-enabled asset markets. The first 1 and second 2 studies investigate cryptocurrency liquidity in the Kraken market. Liquidity is a latent measure of a market’s ability to address the demands of impatient traders, and is an important feature of cryptocurrencies that aim to be cash substitutes. I use Glosten’s model to compute liquidity for Bitcoin trading and compares liquidity over the most widely traded cryptocurrencies. These studies showed that price had a significant influence on liquidity, while other factors like volume, fungibility and price-elasticity exert only marginal influence. Literature in equity markets – such as Elliott wave theory employed by several successful hedge funds; and Mandelbrot / Taleb fractal analysis – suggests that behavioral feedback loops result in predictable price cycles. Both fractal and Elliott wave price movements can be modeled as wavelets, and these can, potentially, predict future price movements and support profitable trading. Extending the prior line of study, I analyzed price movements in non-fungible token (NFT) markets through wavelets analysis 3 . The research found weak linkages between markets and price cycles in periods of around 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 hours with an additional 7 day cycle. Such cycles represent periods where the activity in another market is coupled (coherence) to the NFT market at a statistically significant level and may potentially be used for price prediction and liquidity assessment.

Robert M. Davison, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Information Systems
City University of Hong Kong, SAR China
Editor-in-Chief, Information Systems Journal (SSCI-Q1)

Keynote: "The cultural values of scholarly journals and their implications for various stakeholders"
Time: 10/22 Sunday 10:50-11:50am

ABSTRACT: In this keynote, I will introduce the Information Systems Journal primarily from the perspective of its values. I will use this opportunity to reflect on how Information Systems can contribute to a better world, for a variety of human and non-human stakeholders. Our values reflect the care and trust that we develop for a variety of stakeholders, notably authors, reviewers and members of the editorial board. They also reflect the integrity that is central to the review process, including the way we allocate and appreciate resources. As a journal, we are part of a community to which we contribute through the papers we accept, but also through the feedback that we provide to authors. Finally, I will examine how these ideas can be extended to care for the environment, perhaps the most pressing issue for humanity at this moment in time given both the immediate pressures of climate change and the more remote pressures of resource (over)exploitation.
