Fwd: [ICT4S] Call for contributions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS)

by Michael J. Oghia

FYI everyone, seems relevant to our work Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: pouri <pouri(a)ifi.uzh.ch> Date: Sun, Mar 1, 2020 at 12:30 PM Subject: [ICT4S] Call for contributions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS) To: <ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch> Dear Colleagues We are cordially inviting submissions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS) that will be held this year in conjunction with the 7th international conference on ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S 2020) in Bristol, UK. Overview The sharing economy is a prime example of the power of ICT as an enabler of change in socio-economic structures. New forms of sharing, enabled by online platforms, are changing not only patterns of consumption, but also social relationships and economic structures. The affordability (low-cost or free services), improved accessibility (via smartphones and other digital end-user devices), and convenience (real-time information available at fingertips) of digital sharing facilitates access to a variety of resources beyond the constraints of traditional sharing. This unprecedented efficiency of sharing results in an optimization of resource consumption by increasingly turning the idle and unproductive time of resources into productive utilization. Increased efficiency, however, can trigger additional demand (rebound effect). From an environmental perspective, the additional demand for services in the DSE may cancel out the savings effect of increased efficiencies; leading new environmental problems caused by rebound effects. From a social point of view, it is also important to investigate which types of the digital sharing economy contribute to providing a decent life for its participants or may, conversely, cause more concerns regarding unfair working conditions and other socio-economic issues. Questions of sustainability-related contributions or issues of digital sharing are not thoroughly resolved yet, even the academic discourse identifying them is still in its initial stages. Sharpening and discussing such questions will assist us in understanding the long-term potentials of the digital sharing economy, whether positive or negative, to change people's lives and the global environment as well. Participants This workshop aims to initiate motivating discussions and lightening talks among interested people from academia, including PhD students, participants from industry, and anyone who has an interest in the topic. Submissions We invite short papers (Max. 5 pages) and short position paper (1-2 pages) for presentation and motivating discussions at the session. Participation without own contributions are also welcome. Deadline for submission: 15 April 2020 Feedback: within two weeks after submission Camera-ready: 15 May 2020 Workshop date: 26 June 2020 For more information, visit https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/isr/news/news/DESS2-Workshop.html If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at pouri(a)ifi.uzh.ch.
