For over 55 years, ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research (CPR)
conference has engaged the academic and practitioner communities
in understanding issues pertaining to the intersection of
information technology (IT) and people. From its roots in the
studies of the IT workforce, CPR has broadened its focus to
investigate all aspects of this important and complex
relationship. We are delighted to welcome the 2020 ACM SIGMIS CPR
conference to Nuremberg, Germany, in June 2020.
Early implementations of information systems were designed to
automate administrative and transactional work by utilizing large
enterprise systems. Now digital technologies are ubiquitous;
influencing every aspect of society, work, and life. Societies,
organizations, and individuals now face many new dilemmas, new
questions, and new uncertainties. As digital technologies infuse
and shape our daily lives, many of our core theoretical
perspectives are derived from a time when computers were new and
unknown to many organizations and people.
The context of digital innovations provides CPR research
opportunities to develop new theoretical perspectives and
methodological approaches. Such approaches may require novel
concepts, models, and methods to understand how societies,
organizations, and individuals apply, share, adopt and are
impacted by digital innovation to build a digital future. Hence,
there is a need for research at the intersection of societies,
organizations, and individuals as well as the people being in
charge of the digital innovation process and those who are
educating the digital creators and leaders of the future.
Therefore, the CPR 2020 conference seeks papers addressing, but
not limited to the following questions:
Individual
* What leads to individuals adopting or resisting the use of
digital innovations?
* What are the impacts of emerging technologies on individuals?
* How does the design of a digital innovation impact acceptance
and/or resistance?
* How do individual humans interact with robotic co-workers or
services?
Organizational
* How can organizations understand emerging technologies and their
potential risks and opportunities?
* How can organizations enable incremental and disruptive digital
innovation?
* What is the business value of digital innovations? From what
does this value derive?
* Will emerging IT enable new organizational forms? What are those
forms?
* How does the interaction of IT and people impact innovation, and
how is innovation impacted by this interaction?
* How does IT impact entrepreneurial activities?
Societal
* How does and will digital innovation impact the nature of work?
* How can we address various digital divides?
Workforce
* What are the best ways to organize IT work to enable digital
innovation?
* What factors impact retention and turnover in the IT workforce?
* What unique challenges exist for managing IT workers, and how do
we meet those challenges?
* Why are some demographic groups under-represented in the IT
workforce?
* What are the characteristics of the IT workforce? How are these
characteristics changing?
* What are the key skills for entry into the IT workforce? How are
these skills changing?
* What ethical issues result from embedding IT in work?
* What security and privacy issues result from embedding IT in
work?
Education
* How do we help students develop the skills needed for entry
into, and success in the IT workforce and digital innovation?
* How can we attract promising students to IS programs?
* How should IS programs deal with emerging technologies and
digital innovation?
* How should IS programs differentiate themselves from computer
science, analytics, data science and other overlapping programs
with regard to digital innovation?
* How can universities best prepare students for careers in IS and
IT?
In addition to the conference theme, we also invite submissions to
a general IS track that broadly addresses issues at the
intersection of information technology and people.

findings to date (if any) and future plans for project.
* Panels: Ideas for interesting panels related to the conference
theme should be submitted directly to Sven Laumer
(
sven.laumer@fau.de<mailto:sven.laumer@fau.de>).
Doctoral Consortium
A doctoral consortium will take place as in previous years in
conjunction with the CPR 2020 conference. It is meant for students
spanning those at an early stage in their doctoral program to
those who are more advanced and are at the stage of writing their
dissertation proposal, and who are conducting research on a topic
related to the conference theme or to the broad focus of the CPR
conference on understanding issues pertaining to the intersection
of information technology and people. The purpose of the
consortium is two-fold:
1) provide feedback and guidance to students on their proposal
while at a stage where feedback can be considered for future
dissertation work
2) provide mentoring and networking opportunities to students who
wish to pursue careers as researchers at the intersection of
information systems and people.
Doctoral students must be nominated to the consortium by a faculty
sponsor. Students nominated for the consortium should submit via
email (
sigmisacm@gmail.com<mailto:sigmisacm@gmail.com>) a
10-page research proposal (including all text, figures, and
references; double space to be reviewed by a panel of highly
qualified senior faculty mentors. The doctoral students selected
to participate in the doctoral consortium will receive one round
of written feedback on their proposal.
At the conference, each student will have 15-20 minutes to present
their research ideas and receive feedback in-person from
experienced researchers and fellow consortium participants. The
doctoral consortium will allow activities in plenary mode and
intense workshop sessions in smaller groups. The submission
deadline for doctoral consortium application is the same as the
general submission deadline. Accepted students may choose to
publish the full proposal that was submitted for evaluation or an
extended abstract of their proposal in the conference proceedings.
Funding will be available to assist with travel and registration
fees to students selected for the doctoral consortium.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the refereed
conference proceedings, which will be distributed at the
conference. Authors of accepted papers may choose to publish
complete papers or extended abstracts of their research in the
conference proceedings. All completed research papers that are to
be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings will
be considered for the Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper
of the Year Award. The Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper
and other exemplar papers will be invited for publication in the
DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems-the quarterly
journal publication of ACM SIGMIS. Articles will not be published
in the event proceedings if at least one author of a submitted
work is unable to present their article at the conference.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This
date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your
conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for
any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare
conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication
date remains the first day of the conference.)

Conference Location
Nuremberg is an early center of humanism and science. For example,
the city contributed much to the science of astronomy. In 1471 an
astronomical observatory was built in Nuremberg, in 1515, Albrecht
Dürer, a native of Nuremberg, created woodcuts of the first maps
of the stars of the northern and southern hemispheres and the main
part of Nicolaus Copernicus's work was published in Nuremberg in
1543. Moreover, sculptors such as Veit Stoss, Adam Kraft and Peter
Vischer are also associated with Nuremberg. Richard Wagner made
Nuremburg's most famous native, Hans Sachs, the hero of his opera
Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
The first documented mention of the city was in 1050, noting
Nuremberg as the location of an Imperial castle, which is still
today one of the main tourist attraction. Beyond its main
attractions, there are 54 different museums for arts and culture,
history, science and technology, toys, family and children, where
visitors can see the world's oldest globe (built in 1492), a
500-year-old Madonna, and Renaissance-era German art. After World
War II, the town was rebuilt with the charm of a medieval Bavarian
village. It has since been dubbed the "most German of German
cities".
Nuremberg is also famous for its Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas
market), which draws well over a million shoppers each year. The
market is famous for its handmade ornaments and delicacies, which
can also be bought in the summer.
Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. The
Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party
conventions - the Nuremberg rallies. Therefore, the city provided
the site for the Nuremberg trials, which held to account many
major Nazi officials. Both sites can still be visited and there is
a visitors center that explains Nurembergs role during Nazi
Germany.
There are many institutions of higher education in the city, most
notably the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg
(Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), with 39,780
students (2017) Bavaria's third and Germany's 11th largest
university with campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg and a
university hospital in Erlangen (Universitätsklinikum Erlangen).
FAU is Germany's most innovative university and 2nd in Europe.
Nuremberg is also a destination for food lovers. Culinary tourists
can taste the city's famous lebkuchen, gingerbread, local beer,
and Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen, or Nuremberg sausages. The
social event of the conference will provide an opportunity to
taste typical local food.
Nuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg "Albrecht Dürer") is the
second-busiest airport of Bavaria after Munich Airport, and the
tenth-busiest airport of Germany. It provides connections to all
major airport hubs in Europe (e.g. Frankfurt, Munich, Paris,
Amsterdam, Zurich, Istanbul) and is easily reached from all over
the world.
