University of Oulu welcomes you
to the Sixth Scandinavian
Conference on Information Systems (SCIS 2015) to
be held in Oulu, Finland. The conference will
be held in conjunction with the 38th Information Systems
Research Seminar in Scandinavia (IRIS 2015). While many
of the participants are from the Nordic countries,
researchers from all parts of the world are warmly
welcome to the conference.
Conference
theme: System design for, with and by users
Information systems are in
various forms embedded in everyday human practices. They
have become intertwined and embedded in almost all parts
of our everyday life, including leisure, thereby
establishing
new forms of participation and design. Hence, “users”
cannot be considered as passive consumers anymore, but
at least as content producers if not even as
co-designers and innovators. This calls for
reconsidering the traditional understandings of the
roles of
users and designers as well as for different development
approaches that place emphasis on users’ empowerment,
motivation and inclusion in designing, shaping,
innovating and co-creating information systems in their
everyday life. The SCIS conference theme challenges
IS researchers to consider these new forms of
participation, persuasion and design—for, with and by users—both
in the sense of understanding the phenomenon better and
in devising better support for it. We also call
for reflective accounts on this decades old theme that
has from the very beginning characterized Scandinavian
IS design.
Paper
submission
SCIS 2015 is open for full
research papers within the conference theme as well as
other areas of IS research. We welcome empirical as well
as theoretical and methodological papers. Papers are
not to exceed 6000 words/16 pages. Papers must be
formatted according to the Springer LNBIP instructions
and submitted through EasyChair:
