Betreff: [AISWorld] THCI New Issue - New Co-Editor - Best Paper 2012
Datum: Sun, 30 Jun 2013 23:13:32 -0400

Announcing the Publication of
Volume 5 Issue 2 of /AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/
(http://thci.aisnet.org)
We have three major announcements about AIS Transactions on
Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) along with this newest issue. Please
read on!
Announcement 1: New Co-Editor: The first five and a half years of AIS
THCI were brought to you through you via a collaboration between
founding co-editors at Syracuse University (Ping Zhang) and the
University of Pittsburgh (Dennis Galletta). We are now moving into a new
era. While I am sad to see Ping moving on, two years later than she had
originally planned, I am excited to introduce Joe Valacich as my new
Co-Editor in Chief. It is fitting to recognize the contributions of
Ping and to welcome Joe in this new issue announcement.
Ping's contribution to THCI was the result of those once-in-a-lifetime
opportunities. THCI was born from an excellent and comprehensive
proposal for an AIS HCI Special Interest Group by Ping Zhang and Fiona
Nah about a dozen years ago. Following the strategy in the SIG proposal,
about a half dozen years ago Ping approached me about co-proposing and
being a co-editor of this new journal. After AIS Council approved the
journal, Syracuse University generously sponsored and supported her
participation as Co-Editor: Syracuse provided us with managing
editorships for the entire run of the journal, and provided Ping with
release time to devote attention to the journal. I always looked to her
as the one who really made the journal tick. She provided me with gentle
reminders of things I was supposed to do, and things I was supposed to
have done. She always kept us publishing on time. I thank Ping for so
much that is difficult to enumerate. We know she will move on to many
other rewarding endeavors.
Jian Tang, our outgoing managing editor, has been instrumental at making
sure Manuscript Central was working well. Thanks to Jian, our issues
have always looked professional and the papers had impeccable
"references" sections. Anyone involved with production of a journal
knows the importance of the managing editor. There were some busy
weekends and holidays when Jian was burning the midnight oil. We thank
Jian for her professional attention, excellence, and hard work.
Announcement 2: We are excited to have an incoming Co-Editor who
requires no introduction: Joe Valacich, Professor of MIS at University
of Arizona. You might remember that he co-authored the THCI best paper
from 2011, along with Ana McNab and Traci Hess. Joe has published dozens
of highly-cited papers in top journals, and won several research awards
at his previous university: Washington State. In 2009 he also ranked in
the list of 25 most prolific scholars in the history of MIS Quarterly
over 32 years of the journal. Joe takes over as Co-Editor starting in
the September 2013 issue. If you have ideas on the future of the
journal, please feel free to e-mail either of us as we continue with the
journal.
Announcement 3: We are excited to announce the best paper for 2012. A
committee solicited nominations for the papers, reviewed the
nominations, voted, and came up with the following:
"Trends in Website Design," by Gili Korman Golander, Noam Tractinsky,
and Ilanit Kabessa-Cohen. Download the paper at this link.
<http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/vol4/iss3/1>
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information
Systems) e-library (*_http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci_*). To increase
awareness and readership, /THCI/ is still freely available to everyone
during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related
to all aspects of THCI at its website, <http://aisel.aisnet.org/>
including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS
<http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the
journal. We are also pleased to announce that we have published the
journal on time for all 18 issues.
============
In this issue
============
This issue has a research article by Sedig and Parsons that presents a
framework of 32 patterns of interaction design that can be applied in
many situations.
"Interaction Design for Complex Cognitive Activities with Visual
Representations: A Pattern-Based Approach" by Kamran Sedig and Paul Parsons
This paper is concerned with interaction design for visualization-based
computational tools that support the performance of complex cognitive
activities, such as analytical reasoning, sense making, decision making,
problem solving, learning, planning, and knowledge discovery. In this
paper, a number of foundational concepts related to interaction and
complex cognitive activities are syncretized into a coherent theoretical
framework. This framework is general, in the sense that it is applicable
to all technologies, platforms, tools, users, activities, and visual
representations. Included in the framework is a catalog of 32
fundamental epistemic action patterns, with each action pattern being
characterized and examined in terms of its utility in supporting
different complex cognitive activities. This catalog of action patterns
is comprehensive, covering a broad range of interactions that are
performed by a diverse group of users for all kinds of tasks and
activities. The presented framework is also generative, in that it can
stimulate creativity and innovation in research and design for a number
of domains and disciplines, including data and information
visualization, visual analytics, digital libraries, health informatics,
learning sciences and technologies, personal information management,
decision support, information systems, and knowledge management.

or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction,
evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems
* Information systems usability engineering; universal usability
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's
attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on
individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive,
and motivational aspects of learning
* Gender and information technology
* The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new
applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction
* Issues in HCI education
The language for the journal is English. The audience includes
international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues
related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is
quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September,
and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer
Interaction (SIGHCI, http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/) is the official
sponsor for /THCI/.

### Scope ###
Over the last two decades, many organizations and individuals have
relied on electronic collaboration between distributed teams of humans,
computer applications, and/or autonomous robots to achieve higher
productivity and produce joint products that would have been impossible
to develop without the contributions of multiple collaborators.
Technology has evolved from standalone tools, to open systems supporting
collaboration in multi-organizational settings, and from general purpose
tools to specialized collaboration grids. Future collaboration solutions
that fully realize the promises of electronic collaboration require
advancements in networking, technology and systems, user interfaces and
interaction paradigms, and inter operation with application-specific
components and tools.
The Ninth International Conference on Collaborative Computing
