-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS 6th workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 09:13:03 +0000 From: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> To: AISWorld Listserv <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> First Call for Papers AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS 6th workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” December 12, 2018, San Francisco Workshop focus This AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS workshop has a general orientation towards pragmatic perspectives on IS. The focus is on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This means an emphasis on digital artifacts as embedded in social practices and carriers of elements in such practices. It emphasizes also the innovative nature of designing new artifacts and new practices. The workshop acknowledges different sub-themes within this broad workshop theme: * Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts * Ways to conceptualize and describe practices * Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts * The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices Topics within these sub-themes are described below. Workshop purpose This workshop is arranged in the same spirit and a continuation of earlier successful SIGPRAG workshops on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This SIGPRAG workshop intends to bring scholars and practitioners together for a knowledge exchange and development on research foundations and practical contributions concerning the design and innovation of digital artifacts and practices. The SIGPRAG workshop is intended to be a developmental arena with thoughtful and constructive feedback from reviews and comments on site. The workshop should be a place where you can present ideas in papers and get fruitful feedback for further development of the papers. A developmental arena means also taking responsibility for pushing contributions further to high-quality journal publications. From earlier SIGPRAG workshops many papers have been pushed further into special issues in the open access journal Systems, Signs & Actions. At least one issue will be arranged in Systems, Signs & Actions inviting promising papers from this SIGPRAG workshop. Topics The workshop can include papers from diverse fields of IS. Topics following the identified workshop sub-themes are listed below. Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; empirical research approaches such as: * Practice research * Action research * Design science research * Action design research * Case study research * Evaluation research * Discourse analysis * Pragmatic inquiries * Practitioner – research collaborations Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; knowledge creation approaches such as: * Design theory development * Method engineering * Grounded theory development * Multi-grounded theory development * Practical theory development Ways to conceptualize and describe practices; for example: * Symbolic interaction * Language action * Socio-materiality * Institutionalism * Actor-networks * Infrastructure evolution * Socio-instrumentalism * Distributed cognition * Distributed agency Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts; for example: * Ensemble view * Socio-technical view * Contextual view * Functional tool view * Affordance view * Communicative action view The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices; for example aspects such as: * Innovation strategies * Openness in innovation * Design thinking * Collaborative design * Stakeholder interactions (power-playing vs. value balancing and informed consensus building) * Practice understanding and diagnosis * Wicked problems * Problem formulation * Values and goals articulation * Idea generation * Idea capture * Design conversations * Idea visualization (modeling, prototyping) * Strategies for testing and evaluation Dates and submission details Submissions: September 28, 2018 Notification: October 31, 2018 Final manuscripts: November 30, 2018 Workshop: December 12, 2018 The workshop website is http://SIGPrag.net/<http://sigprag.net/>.

Pragmatist Information Systems Research There have been many calls in the information systems (IS) community for a stronger pragmatic focus. This can be seen in a growing interest for research approaches and methods in IS that emphasize contribution to practice and collaboration between the practice and academia. Action research, which aims for knowledge development through collaboration and intervention in real settings, is achieving more and more academic credibility (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Davison et al, 2004). This can also be said about design science research that aims for the generation of new and useful artifacts (Hevner et al, 2004; Gregor & Jones, 2007). Research through evaluation has had a long and venerable place in IS research (Ward et, 1996; Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2003). Several approaches and frameworks that combine or integrate elements from the above-mentioned approaches have also emerged, e.g. practice research (Goldkuhl, 2011), collaborative practice research (Mathiassen, 2002), practical science (Gregor, 2008), engaged scholarship (Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), action design research (Sein et al, 2011) and technical action research (Wieringa & Morali, 2012). Underlying these different approaches is a quest for practical relevance of the conducted research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999; Van de Ven, 2007; Wieringa, 2010). It is not enough to only “mirror” the world through descriptions and explanations but a pragmatic orientation recognizes intervention and design as a way of knowing and a means for building knowledge about social and institutional phenomena (Aakhus, 2007). There is a need for knowledge of other epistemic kinds that contributes more clearly to the improvement of IS practices. A pragmatic orientation can also be seen in the increasing interest in the conceptualization of practices, activities, agency and actions. Practice theorizing has gained an increased attention in IS studies (Orlikowski, 2008; Leonardi, 2011). There has been an interest for agency and action oriented theories in IS for quite some time; e.g. activity theory (Nardi, 1996), structuration theory (Orlikowski, 1992), social action theorizing (Hirschheim et al, 1996), human agency theorizing (Boudreau & Robey, 2005), language action perspective (Winograd & Flores, 1986) and work systems theory (Alter, 2013). From this follows also an interest for social and pragmatic views of the IT artifact (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005). This includes views of the IT artifact as contextually embedded and carriers of those social contexts (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001) and such artifacts being tools for action and communication (Ågerfalk, 2003; Markus & Silver, 2008). Design research practice and the contributions to practice through appropriation of knowledge and methods and the contributions to academia through knowledge artifacts has been discussed (Sjöström, Donnellan & Helfert, 2012). This enhanced practice and action orientation follows a growing awareness within IS scholars towards pragmatism as a research foundation (e.g. Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012). It is not the case that IS scholars suddenly become pragmatists in their research orientation. It is rather the case that there is move from an implicit pragmatism to an explicit one (Goldkuhl, 2012). For a long time IS scholars have addressed practical problems with an interest for improvement. That interest has led to the extensive development of methods, models and constructive frameworks for not only the design of IT artifacts, but also related to several other IS/IT phenomena like e.g. innovation management, business process management, project management, IT service management just to mention a few. These methods actually reveal an on-going search for knowledge of other epistemic kinds for advancing understanding of information technology, information systems, and practice. Pragmatism – and its inherent view of inquiry as a theory of knowledge (Dewey, 1938) – is a philosophical foundation for intervention-based research (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Sjöström, 2010). Indeed, Constantinides et al (2012, p. 1) propose “practical questions for all IS researchers to consider in making choices about relevant topics, design and execution, and representation of findings in their research.” The pragmatist foundations are also reflected in the evolving design science research discourse (Hevner et al, 2004; Sein et al, 2011; Gregor & Hevner, 2013; Iivari, 2014; Venable et al, 2016).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: 4th Post-ICIS SIG Social Inclusion (SIGSI) Research Workshop 2018, in San Francisco, USA Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:38:43 +0000 From: Carter, Michelle <michelle.carter(a)wsu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 4th Post-ICIS SIG Social Inclusion (SIGSI) Research Workshop 2018, in San Francisco, USA Sunday, December 16, 2018, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Call for Participation: SOCIAL INCLUSION AND THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE, DATA, AND THINGS In the 2018 Post-ICIS research workshop, SIGSI casts a social inclusion lens on the permeation in our lives of digital and mobile media and the interplay of people, data, and things. We live in a world where we are always connected with other people and communities, and interacting with digital and mobile media has become integral to everyday life and routines. Consequently, it is imperative that we understand the role of these technologies in individuals’ and groups’ full participation in the normal, normatively-prescribed activities of the societies in which they are embedded. We encourage submission of research ideas, extended abstracts, research-in-progress, and articles related to the workshop theme of social inclusion and the internet of people, data, and things. In addition, we welcome relevant theoretical, empirical, and intervention submissions that relate to the mission of the AIS Special Interest Group on Social Inclusion (SIGSI). SIGSI promotes research, pedagogy, and outreach on all aspects of social inclusion in the field of Information Systems (IS). The goal of such efforts is to stimulate greater diversity of thought and people in AIS and the IS field overall, and participation of all our members in a more socially-aware and inclusive discipline. Relevant research topics include: winners and losers in a world characterized by “exponentially growing data and increasingly autonomous things”; access and opportunity created by the internet of people, data, and things; the gender gap in the IS field; gender minorities, inclusion of the differently-abled, inclusion of neurodiversity in IT, intersectionality of identities (such as ethnicity, gender and socio-economic class), socioeconomic divisions that impact access to or use of technology, the digital divide, under-served groups, and a range of topics related to human diversity, and the “haves” and “have nots” in interconnected digital environments. Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical. The workshop will include a keynote address, “ignite” lightning talks, and roundtable discussions of submitted work. *** Instructions for Contributors *** We welcome: * Completed research papers (10 pages) * Research-in-progress papers (5 pages) * Extended abstracts (2 pages) * Research ideas (1 page) All submissions will be reviewed. Papers should not have been published previously in proceedings or journals or concurrently under review elsewhere; however, it is a general aim of the workshop that accepted papers will subsequently be submitted to high quality outlets. *** Important Dates *** Submissions Deadline: Friday, September 28, 2018 Notification of acceptance or rejection: Friday, October 12, 2018 Author registration deadline: Friday, November 16, 2018 (At least one author must register and attend the workshop to present, if the work is accepted). ***Instructions for Submissions*** Papers should be submitted electronically to: sigsocialinclusion(a)gmail.com<mailto:sigsocialinclusion@gmail.com>. Submission filename should include the first author’s last name e.g., Annabi-SIGSI2018.PDF. In the case of multiple submissions, add a number to the last name e.g., Annabi2-SIGSI.PDF. Questions regarding submissions should be directed to Hala Annabi at sigsocialinclusion(a)gmail.com<mailto:sigsocialinclusion@gmail.com>. Papers should be formatted in accordance with the ICIS 2018 template and submitted in MS Word format. All submissions should have a cover page that includes the paper title, submission type, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses. The main body of the paper should have a title but no author names. Completed research and research-in-progress papers should include abstracts of no more than 150 words in the main body of the paper. Page limitations include title, text, tables, figures, and appendices. Page limitations do not include the cover page, abstract, and references. ***Registration*** Register for the workshop through the ICIS website: Workshop Registration Fees (in US Dollars) Early Reg. On-site By Oct 3 Oct 4 - Nov 30 & Nov 29 After AIS Member $75 $85 $100 AIS Student $25 $30 $35 AIS Professional $100 $110 $125 Non-AIS $100 $110 $125 The Workshop Committee encourages a paper-less event.

A fundamental stimulus to the investigations of Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS) is the awareness in the academic communities that combined approaches will be necessary if the remaining tough problems in artificial/computational intelligence are to be solved. Hybrid Intelligent Systems are getting popular due to their capabilities in handling several real-world complexities involving imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. The objectives of HIS'18 are to increase the awareness of the research community of the broad spectrum of hybrid techniques, to bring together AI researchers from around the world to present their cutting-edge results, to discuss the current trends in HIS research, to develop a collective vision of future opportunities, to establish international collaborative opportunities, and as a result to advance the state of the art of the field. HIS'18 invites novel contributions/papers of soft computing and pattern recognition from fundamental aspects to various practical applications. All accepted and registered papers will be included in the conference proceedings expected to be published by Springer. Topics (not limited to): ------------------------------- ** Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Architectures ** Interactions between neural networks and fuzzy inference systems Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques Fuzzy clustering algorithms and optimization techniques Fuzzy inference system optimization using global optimization algorithms Hybrid computing using neural networks - fuzzy systems - evolutionary algorithms Hybrid optimization techniques (evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, GRASP etc.) Hybrid of soft computing and statistical learning techniques Models using inductive logic programming, logic synthesis, grammatical inference, case-based reasoning Autonomic computing Hybridizatiion with novel computing paradigms: Qantum computing, DNA computing, membrane computing etc. ** Hybrid Intelligent Systems: Applications ** Image and Signal Processing Internet Modeling, Communication and Networking Data mining Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Business Information Systems Control and Automation Special topics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submission Guidelines: --------------------------------- Submission of paper should be made through the submission page from the conference web page.
