-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP 41. GI Jahrestagung "Virtuelle Welten und Computerspiele" Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:38:00 +0100 From: Prof. Dr. Stefan Stieglitz <stefan.stieglitz(a)uni-muenster.de> Organization: Universität Münster To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers Workshop auf der GI-Jahrestagung 2011 "Virtuelle Welten und Computerspiele" Einreichungsfrist: 24.4.2011 Allgemeine Thematik Virtuelle Welten sind in den vergangenen Jahren mit wechselnder Intensität in der medialen Öffentlichkeit diskutiert worden. Gleichzeitig sind das wissenschaftliche Interesse und die Notwendigkeit zur Erforschung dieses Plattformtyps kontinuierlich angestiegen. Die technologische Basis virtueller Welten bilden 3D-Interaktions-räume, kombiniert mit Avatar-Repräsentation und Voice-over-IP, die die Reichhaltigkeit und Interaktivität bestehender Web-Anwendungen bei weitem übersteigen. Vielfach rezipierte Beispiele bilden soziale virtuelle Welten wie „Second Life“, deren Geschäftsmodell vollständig auf User-Generated Content basiert und die auch verstärkt für Anwendungen im Unternehmensbereich (bspw. bei IBM und HP) erprobt wurde, sowie die virtuelle Spielwelt „World of Warcraft“ mit mehr als 11 Millionen Nutzern. Diese interaktiven Unterhaltungsdienste bilden ein besonderes Wachstumssegment. Nach einer BITKOM-Studie aus dem Jahr 2009 haben 14% aller Bundesbürger über 14 Jahren schon einmal online gespielt und zeigen auch eine Zahlungsbereitschaft für derartige Dienste. Das Volumen des Gaming-Marktes wird für 2015 mit weltweit 70 Milliarden US-Dollar prognostiziert (DFC Intelligence 2010).Für die Informatik eröffnet sich mit virtuellen Welten ein neues Untersuchungsfeld mit einer Vielzahl von Forschungsfragen. In dem geplanten Workshop sollen dabei zwei Bereiche fokussiert werden: 1) Untersucht werden soll die Nutzung virtueller Welten für den Unternehmenskontext. In diesem Zusammenhang sind die Potenziale für neuartige E-Business Anwendungen zu erforschen, entsprechende Referenzmodelle zu entwickeln, Anforderungen an die technische Infrastruktur zu spezifizieren und die organisatorischen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen zu bestimmen, unter denen Geschäftsaktivitäten unter Einsatz virtueller Welten vollzogen werden können. 2) Zum zweiten besteht Bedarf an wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen für die Entwicklung, das Management und den Betrieb von virtuellen Welten und Online-Spielen. Die Gestaltung von Vorgehensmodellen für den spezifischen Entwicklungskontext, der Gewinn von Erkenntnissen zur Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeit von Geschäftsmodellen sowie die Ableitung von Akzeptanzmodellen, die die unterhaltenden Eigenschaften dieser Umgebungen berücksichtigen, sind wesentliche Forschungsziele. Spezifische Themenfelder: Der vorgeschlagene Workshop auf der Informatik 2011 soll der Konsolidierung der bisherigen Forschung dienen und einen Ausgangspunkt für die weitere systematische Bearbeitung dieses Themenfeldes markieren. Beiträge können sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch ausgerichtet sein. Sie können die folgenden Aspekte thematisieren, sind aber nicht auf diese eingeschränkt: • Soziale Vernetzung und Kommunikation in virtuellen Welten • Communities im Kontext von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen • Kollaborative Wertschöpfung und Entrepreneurship in virtuellen Welten • Anwendung virtueller Welten in der Unternehmenskommunikation und -kollaboration • Einsatz virtueller Welten im Innovationsprozess und in der Kundenintegration • Integration der Technologie virtueller Welten mit anderen Technologien und Informationssystemen • Virtuelle Welten und Computerspiele in der Aus- und Weiterbildung • Geschäftsmodelle in der Gaming Industrie, Geschäftsmodelle auf Basis virtueller Welten • Design, Entwicklung und Betrieb von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen • Adoption und Benutzerakzeptanz von virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen • Vertrauen und Transparenz in virtuellen Welten und Computerspielen • Serious Games Programmgestaltung Die Beiträge sollen maximal 10 Seiten lang sein und in Deutsch oder Englisch bisher noch nicht veröffentlichte Forschungsergebnisse darstellen. Die akzeptierten Beiträge werden als Vollversion digital und referenzierbar im Rahmen der Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI) bereit gestellt. Eine Kurzversion wird in einem gedruckten Proceedings‐Band der GI Jahrestagung erscheinen. Erfahrungsberichte mit Neuigkeits‐ und Alleinstellungsmerkmalen sowie interdisziplinäre Beiträge sind willkommen. Ziel ist eine Mischung theoretischer und praktischer Arbeiten. Alle Beiträge werden in anonymisierter Form von zwei Mitgliedern des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Einreichungen aus dem Programmkomitee sind zulässig.

Sponsor since 2005 · Enterprise Engineering Network (_http://www.enterpriseengineeringnetwork.org/_). Sponsor since 2009. · The ORM Foundation (_http://www.ormfoundation.org/_). * Background*: The field of information systems analysis and design includes numerous information modeling methods and notations (e.g. ER, ORM, UML, ArchiMate, EPC, BPMN, DEMO) that are typically evolving. Even with some attempts to standardize (e.g. UML for object-oriented software design), new modeling methods are constantly being introduced, many of which differ only marginally from previous approaches. These ongoing changes significantly impact the way information systems, enterprises, and business processes are being analyzed and designed in practice. The EMMSAD conference focuses on exploring, evaluating, and enhancing modeling methods and methodologies for the analysis and design of information systems, enterprises, and business processes. Though the need for such studies is well recognized, there is a paucity of such research in the literature. The objective of the EMMSAD conference series is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in modeling methods for systems analysis and design to meet, and exchange research ideas and results. It also provides the participants an opportunity to present their research papers and experience reports, and to take part in open discussions. EMMSAD’2011 is the sixteenth in a very successful series of EMMSAD events, previously held in Heraklion, Barcelona, Pisa, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Interlaken, Toronto, Velden, Riga, Porto, Luxembourg, Trondheim, Montpellier, Amsterdam and Hammamet. * Topics of Interest*: Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) theoretical and/or empirical or case-based exploration of modeling methods and methodologies in a systems analysis and design context. The topics of interest include general modeling issues such as: · Modeling languages · The process of modeling · Quality of models & modeling · Experiences in modeling · Theoretical/philosophical foundations of modeling and/or specific modeling strategies or aspects, including (but not limited to): · Agile Modeling · Business Process Modeling and Improvement · Business Rule Modeling · Database Modeling · Enterprise Modeling, Architecture, and Governance · Goal and Value Modeling · Information Modeling (ER, ORM etc.) · Meta-modeling · Method Engineering · Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Systems · Model-Driven Engineering · Object Oriented Methods and Methodologies · Ontologies and the Semantic Web · Requirements modeling · Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) · Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP) · Workflow Modeling · Web information systems * Important dates***(2011): Paper submissions: February 26 Notification of acceptance: March 22 Camera-ready copies: April 10 Conference: June 20-21 * Submission guidelines**:* The conference accepts two types of submissions—/Completed Research/ and /Research-In-Progress/.

by Gustaf Neumann 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP 10th IFIP e-government conference (EGOV) 2011 Delft, the Netherlands Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:34:47 +0100 From: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 10^th IFIP e-government conference (EGOV) 2011 29 August - 1 September 2011; Delft, The Netherlands (co-located with the 3^rd ePart conference) www.egov-conference.org <https://legacywebmail.tudelft.nl/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.egov-…> CALL FOR PAPERS -- please apologize if you received this message before The 10^th annual international IFIP e-government conference is the European core conference in the study domain, which presents the state of the art in e-government and e-governance. Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV conference has provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study. IFIP's EGOV conference has grown to one of the top three conferences in the domain besides the HICSS e-government track and the Digital Government Society's dg.o conference inNorth America. In 2010, EGOV became a full IFIP conference organised by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. The IFIP e-government conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest in this domain of study has steadily increased. The 2010 IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences have attracted more than 150 participants from all continents including developing countries. IFIP EGOV has accepted 36 contributions in completed research, 31 contributions in ongoing research, 3 panels and 3 workshops. Also, the second editor-in-chief roundtable with representatives of five key journals in the field was held. For further details see the conference site of IFIP EGOV 2010. E-government research has demonstrated its relevance to practice and consequently has influenced and shaped government strategies and implementations. Conversely, e-government practice has inspired e-government research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of e-government projects, the foundations of e-government as a research discipline, integration and interoperation in government, transformation, organizational change, citizens at the center, adoption and diffusion, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics on the research agenda. For the IFIP e-government conference 2011 we seek contributions that include but are not limited to: * Foundations of e-government and e-governance research * Future directions in research and practice of ICT in the public sector * Research theories and frameworks for public sector modernization with the support of ICT * Research methods, method integration and techniques * Designing and assessing systems for the public sector: innovative cases and systems * ICT usage, acceptance and performance of technology-supported public sector activities: methods and contemporary case analyses * Open government, transparency, and collaboration * Open innovation, innovation management, transformation and change management, and complexity management in shaping public sector advancements * Crowdsourcing in government * Evaluation and benefits management * Stakeholders collaboration in government modernization: Stakeholder-driven public sector reengineering * Participative governance and policy modeling * Legal compliance, legal shaping and legal impact of innovative government services provision * Mobile services and methods in government * Cloud computing and social networks in the public sector * Information Infrastructure, Information preservation, information management, and information access * Trust and privacy in e-government * Open source and free software * Interoperability, architectures and standards in networked government * Knowledge management, information sharing, semantics, and ontologies * Emergency and disaster response management * Retaining public sector experiences * Education, human resources, training courses, and curricula The IFIP e-government conference 2011 hosts four distinct formats of contributions: * Completed research papers (max 12 pages, published in LCNS Springer (tbc)) * Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, published in Trauner (tbc)) * Workshops and panels on pertinent issues * PhD colloquium submission (details to be specified) These formats encourage scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art in the study domain, but also welcome innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with reports on system implementations. Prior to the conference (Monday August 29), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. We seek innovative and scholarly sound contributions. Accepted papers of completed research will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (tbc). Ongoing research and project papers will be published in Trauner proceedings (tbc). Read more about the submission guidelines and review criteria on the conference website: htttp://www.egov-conference.org/egov-2011/ The IFIP e-government conference will be co-located with ePart, the third International Conference on electronic participation (ePart), which will be dedicated to topics on e-participation and e-democracy. ePart will take place slightly overlapping with the IFIP e-government conference at the same venue. Participants registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers involved in the development and application of graph-based knowledge representation formalisms and reasoning techniques. This workshop will investigate further developments of knowledge representation and reasoning graph based techniques. The workshop is expected to bring together people from different research communities that are actively pursuing this line of research. We hope that the presentation of different perspectives on employing graphs for representation and reasoning will be mutually enriching and will stimulate further research. The papers will be judged from two perspectives: technical and application: * Technical results will include graph theory based results for novel structures for representation, extensions of existing structures for added expressivity, conciseness, optimisation algorithms for reasoning, reasoning explanation mechanisms etc. * Papers reporting on application experience will be expected to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed solutions. ============================================================================ ORGANISERS: * Madalina Croitoru, LIRMM and INRIA, France * Olivier Corby, INRIA, France * John Howse, University of Brighton, UK * Sebastian Rudolph, KIT, Germany * Nic Wilson, Cork Constraint Computation Centre, Ireland ============================================================================ For more information please check: http://www.lirmm.fr/~croitoru/GKR/index.html <http://www.lirmm.fr/%7Ecroitoru/GKR/index.html> _________________________________________________ Dr. Sebastian Rudolph senior researcher & project leader at AIFB Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) rudolph(a)kit.edu <mailto:rudolph@kit.edu> phone (new!) +49 721 608 - 47362 www.sebastian-rudolph.de <http://www.sebastian-rudolph.de> fax (new!) +49 721 608 - 45998

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers, Ethics & Social Responsibility in IS Education Datum: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 08:18:45 -0500 Von: Dr. Al Harris <harrisal(a)APPSTATE.EDU> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers Special issue of the Journal of Information Systems Education on Ethics& Social Responsibility in IS Education Guest Editors: Michael Lang, National University of Ireland, Galway Michael.Lang(a)nuigalway.ie Albert Harris, Appalachian State University, harrisal(a)appstate.edu Dave Yates, University of Maryland, dyates(a)umd.edu The Guest Editors of the Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE) invite submissions for a special issue on Ethics& Social Responsibility in IS Education to appear in the Winter 2011 issue (Vol. 22 No. 4). There has been a growing appreciation in recent years of the need to afford the topic of ethics and social responsibility a prominent place within the educational curriculum. In the era of globalization, the responsible stewardship and governance of business, government and society impacts the lives of everyone. Information systems are now ubiquitous and pervasive, often delivering benefits but also potentially or actually having detrimental impacts, thus presenting challenges and dilemmas as regards ethics and social responsibility. It is imperative that Information Systems students gain a critical appreciation of social, political, technological, environmental and global issues as a fundamental learning outcome of their college education. Contemporary issues of importance include privacy and data protection, social inclusion and the digital divide, lifelong learning, equal opportunities, gender issues, sustainable computing and “green IT”, globalization, mobility, usability and accessibility, social media, Internet propaganda and censorship, digital media rights and controls, public advocacy and activism, and IS education in developing countries. For this special issue of JISE on Ethics& Social Responsibility in IS Education, we invite the submission of high-quality, innovative, insightful articles. Topics include but are not limited to: • Integrating ethics and social responsibility issues into the IS education curriculum. • Preparing IS graduates as responsible citizens within society and the professional workplace. • Service learning and civic engagement in IS education. • Social inclusion, classroom diversity, and the digital divide in IS education. • Theories of ethics and social responsibility within IS education. • Philosophical issues of ethics and social responsibility within IS education. • Approaches for teaching ethics and social responsibility within IS education. • Ethical and socially responsible considerations in researching IS education. • Cultural aspects of ethics and social responsibility in IS education. • Globalization within IS education. • Impacts and consequences of IS ethical and social issues impacting IS education in countries around the world • Privacy and civil liberties issues within IS education. • Absenteeism issues within IS education e.g. monitoring practices, student motivation and responsibility, etc. • Ethical issues with the use of social networking, virtual communities and e-learning technologies in IS education. • Human rights issues in IS education. • Standards of acceptable behaviour and conduct in IS education. • Academic honesty within the discipline of Information Systems. • Intellectual property and digital media rights within IS education. Timeline: Initial submissions due: June 15, 2011 Notification to authors: September 15, 2011 Revised papers due: November 1 Publication of the issue: December 2011 Submission Guidelines: Papers for this special issue are due on June 15, 2011. Prospective authors are welcome to submit an abstract to the Guest Editors for preliminary feedback on the appropriateness of their planned manuscript. Please send your submission in Microsoft Word format by email to Michael.Lang(a)nuigalway.ie with a copy to harrisal(a)appstate.edu and dyates(a)umd.edu. You must ensure that all personal details are removed from the document and its meta-data before submission. Papers must not exceed 7000 words including all sections, figures, tables and references. All papers will be blind peer reviewed and are subject to editing for journal style, clarity, organization, and space. Shorter teaching cases and experience reports (between 2000 and 3000 words) are also welcome.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - Systems Analysis and Design track AMCIS 2011 Datum: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:44:31 -0800 Von: Andrew Gemino <gemino(a)sfu.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *AMCIS 2011* *Systems Analysis and Design Track* *Call for Papers* The chairs of the Systems Analysis and Design Track invite you to submit research papers or panel proposals to one of our /seven minitracks/ in AMCIS 2011 to be held August 4-7 in Detroit, Michigan. The deadline for the paper submissions is February 28, 2011. More information about the conference, tracks and minitracks can be found at: http://amcis2011.aisnet.org *Track Description: * Systems analysis and design (SAND) is of central importance to the information systems discipline. The SAND track provides a forum for discussing research related to topics such as modeling methods, techniques and languages, agile systems development methods, business analysis and design methodologies including open/community source software and service-oriented computing), empirical evaluations of SAND methods and techniques, and user participation in SAND. Minitracks offered in the Systems Analysis and Design Track include: ·SA&D Methodologies and Processes ·SA&D Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages ·Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises ·Contemporary Issues in Agile Development ·User Involvement in Systems Development and Improvement ·Business Process Management and Innovation ·Technical and Managerial Issues in Innovative Software Development · A brief description of each track is provided below. *SA&D Methodologies and Processes * *Chairs:Solomon Antony **solomon.antony(a)murraystate.edu* <mailto:solomon.antony@murraystate.edu>** *Akhilesh Bajaj **akhilesh-bajaj(a)utulsa.edu* <mailto:akhilesh-bajaj@utulsa.edu>** *Dinesh Batra **Dinesh.Batra(a)business.fiu.edu* <mailto:Dinesh.Batra@business.fiu.edu>** The scope of this mini-track ranges from the formative aspects of information systems development (e.g., systems planning and feasibility) to the “core” concepts in SA&D (e.g requirements determination, analysis, and design), finally to delivery of the information system product (e.g., system implementation). Also included are methodologies of work process analysis as well as distributed and global aspects of teamwork in the process of IS development. This mini-track is intended to bring together researchers studying technical, empirical, cognitive, pedagogical, theoretical, and applied aspects of IS Development methodologies and to highlight the continuing fundamental position of systems analysis and design in the IS discipline. *Systems Analysis and Design:Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages * *Chairs:John Erickson **johnerickson(a)unomaha.edu* <mailto:johnerickson@unomaha.edu>** *Xin Tan **xtan(a)fdu.edu* <mailto:xtan@fdu.edu>** *Keng Siau **ksiau(a)unl.edu* <mailto:ksiau@unl.edu>** This mini-track recognizes modeling methods and languages’ importance and continued relevance to the systems development process and highlights the ongoing growth and creativity in this field. Having been a successful AMCIS and SIGSAND component since 2003, the mini-track provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the areas of systems analysis and design, method engineering, and modeling language development, use, modification, and assessment. This mini-track also serves as an outlet for studies in theory development, design science, and behavioral science. An objective is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field. In that light we welcome both technical and empirical pieces, and are open to all aspect of research methods (e.g., survey, experimentation, case studies, action research, etc.). *Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises * *Chairs:Padmal Vitharana **padmal(a)syr.edu* <mailto:padmal@syr.edu>** *Kumar Bhaskaran **bha(a)us.ibm.com* <mailto:bha@us.ibm.com>** *Hemant Jain **jain(a)uwm.edu* <mailto:jain@uwm.edu>** Enabled by the recent advances in web services, business process automation, and service-oriented architectures, organizations around the world have embarked on the development of the next-generation enterprise infrastructures, referred to by some as "Service-Oriented Enterprises". Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to support agile enterprises. Currently, there are many open research issues on the analysis and design for the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area. *Contemporary Issues in Agile Development * *Chairs:Nridhar Nerur **snerur(a)uta.edu* <mailto:snerur@uta.edu>** *RadhaKanta Mahapatra **mahapatra(a)uta.edu* <mailto:mahapatra@uta.edu>** *VenuGopal Balijepally **vebalijepally(a)pvamu.edu* <mailto:vebalijepally@pvamu.edu>** Agile methodologies have gained increased acceptance among software developers and its acceptance brings to the fore a number of new research issues. These include adoption and post-adoption experiences with agile, agile project management, social aspects of agile development, distributed agile development, scalability of agile methodologies, and enterprise agility, to name but a few. The term “agility” has now assumed a broader meaning, extending its context and implications beyond software development to the overall organizational climate. The growing popularity of agile principles and practices affords IS scholars opportunities to study these and many more research issues. This mini-track will provide a forum for researchers to address fundamental issues in agile development and to explore contemporary issues raised by the widespread acceptance of agile methodologies. *User Involvement in Systems Development and Implementation* *Chairs:Roland Weistroffer **hrweistr(a)vcu.edu* <mailto:hrweistr@vcu.edu>** *Angela Mattia **amattia(a)ju.edu* <mailto:amattia@ju.edu>** User involvement in information systems (IS) development and implementation is generally considered essential for a successful development process and outcome. However, research on the impact of user participation or involvement on system success has been mixed. It has also been proposed that perhaps, rather than looking at user participation or involvement in development, it would be more useful to look at project collaboration in the improvement of technology reliant work systems. The objective of this mini-track is to provide a forum for scholars to re-examine the theoretical and practical issues related to user participation, stakeholder involvement, and project collaboration in systems development. *Business Process Management and Innovation* *Chairs:Amit V. Deokar **amit.Deokar(a)dsu.edu* <mailto:amit.Deokar@dsu.edu>** *Michael zur Muehlen **Michael.zurMuehlen(a)stevens.edu* <mailto:Michael.zurMuehlen@stevens.edu>** *Marta Indulska **M.Indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au* <mailto:M.Indulska@business.uq.edu.au>** Business Process Management (BPM) can be defined as methods and tools surrounding the definition, implementation, and improvement of lateral processes in organizations. As BPM continues to gain importance in today’s organization, an increasing number of studies detail efficiency, effectiveness and agility improvements resulting from process management initiatives This mini- track seeks contributions that discuss the management of business processes as well as technologies for process automation. We encourage submissions from both a managerial as well as a technical perspective. ** *Technical and Managerial Issues in Innovative Software Development* *Chairs:Manlu Liu **manluliu(a)saunders.rit.edu* <mailto:manluliu@saunders.rit.edu>** *Daning Hu **daninghu(a)cityu.edu.hk* <mailto:daninghu@cityu.edu.hk>** *J. Leon Zhao **jlzhao(a)cityu.edu.hk* <mailto:jlzhao@cityu.edu.hk>** Provides a forum for both technical and managerial issues in innovative models of software development. We welcome original research contributions on economical, empirical, practical, technical, and theoretical aspects of software development models and processes.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Second CFP - Mini Track Title: NEGATIVE COGNITIONS ABOUT INFORMATION SYSTEMS - AMCIS 2011, Detroit
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Second CFP - Mini Track Title: NEGATIVE COGNITIONS ABOUT INFORMATION SYSTEMS - AMCIS 2011, Detroit Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:34:18 +0000 From: Tarafdar, Monideepa <Monideepa.Tarafdar(a)UToledo.Edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA ** *Track: HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION* *Mini Track Title: NEGATIVE COGNITIONS ABOUT INFORMATION SYSTEMS* ** DESCRIPTION There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS, related, for example, to technostress (Tarafdar et al forthcoming, Ragu-Nathan et al 2008), intrusiveness and deceptiveness (Cenfetelli and Schwarz, forthcoming), credibility and deception (Jensen, Lowry, et al. 2010), addiction to technology use (Turel et al. forthcoming), and distrust (Dimoka 2010). These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience, conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive. The object of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g. theories of stress from the psychology literature, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon.** *Suggested Topics:* Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: Conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications. 2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: Outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking, user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work life balance, over-dependence on IS. 3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses.
