The 34th WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS (WITS 2024) Bangkok, Thailand December 18-20, 2024 supported by the INFORMS Information Systems Society The 34th Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (WITS’24) will be held as an in-person meeting in Bangkok, Thailand at the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort on December 18-20, 2024, just after the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among scholars with research interests in the cutting-edge issues of information technologies and systems. The theme of WITS 2024 is “Navigating the Next: The Transformative Impact of Generative AI on Business and Society.” As we enter a new era shaped by the transformative power of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), businesses and societies are on the brink of significant shifts that will redefine their operations, strategies, and ethical landscapes. Generative AI, with its unparalleled ability to create content, simulate human interactions, and predict outcomes, is redefining the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Positioned at the forefront of technological advancement, the impact of Generative AI spans a broad spectrum of sectors, including creative industries, labor markets, healthcare, education, and customer engagement, among others. Furthermore, as AI-generated content becomes increasingly indistinguishable from human-produced work, issues surrounding authenticity, intellectual property, and ethical implications are gaining prominence. The WITS 2024 workshop is designed to inspire researchers to delve into the expansive impacts of generative AI. It aims to foster a vibrant environment for thorough analysis, robust debate, and insightful discussion on how generative AI is being integrated into, transforming, and challenging the conventional frameworks of business practices and societal norms. This theme is inclusive and engages research across a broad range of topics, including the following: Agent-Based Systems Artificial Intelligence Blockchain Technologies Cloud Computing Computational Algorithms Conceptual Modeling Data, Text, and Web Mining Digital Asset Technologies E-Business and E-Commerce Energy Informatics Enterprise Systems and Resource Planning Fairness and Ethics of AI Green Computing Grid Computing Healthcare Technologies Human-Computer Interface Information Quality, Privacy, and Security Intelligent Systems and Technologies Knowledge Management Technologies Mobile Commerce and IoT Technologies Network Economics Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) Peer-to-Peer Technologies Personalization Technologies Persuasive Technologies Process Management and Mining Recommender Systems Resource and Organizational Modeling Techniques Sharing Economy and Platform Social Networks Smart City & Sustainable IT Supply Chains and IT Systems Analysis and Design Systems for Collaboration & Negotiation Support Token Economics Cybersecurity Generative AI Large Language Model Algorithm Design for GenAI Societal Impact of GenAI Responsibility and Ethical Issues in GenAI IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for Completed Research and Research-in-Progress Papers August 8, 2024 (end of day, Pacific time) Deadline for Dissertation Proposal, Demo/Prototype and Industry Forum September 1, 2024 Acceptance Notification (Completed Research and Research-in-Progress Papers) September 15, 2024 Acceptance Notification (Dissertation Proposal, Demo/Prototype, and Industry Forum) September 15, 2024 Deadline for Camera-ready Copy of All Submissions October 15, 2024 Workshop Dates December 18–20, 2024 Submissions All types of submissions should follow the specified guidelines on page length, font size, and line spacing as specified below.
