CALL FOR PAPERS - ECIS 2020 Track "Design Research in Information
Systems"
##########################################################################
28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2020)
June 15th - 17th 2020 / Marrakech, Morocco (

Track "Design Research in Information Systems"
(

## Track Description ##
Interacting with information technology (IT) has become a
pervasive element
in private and business life. With the advanced development of IT
in a
digitizing world, humans constantly adjust to the latest
technological
circumstances and adapt their routines and habits accordingly.
Similarly,
system designers need to build on a profound theoretical and
methodological
knowledge base for the design, implementation, and evaluation of
novel
artefacts in a highly competitive and dynamic market environment.
The
interdisciplinary area of design research in Information Systems
is
concerned with informing the design of IT artefacts by
establishing and
applying comprehensive (design) theories, exploring and testing
models with
rigorous research, providing validated evaluation methods and
design
guidelines, as well as designing and evaluating IT artefacts.
In information systems, scholars can follow different approaches
when
engaging in design-oriented research. Firstly, researchers can
engage in
artefact creation following design science research (DSR). Here,
the focus
is to identify and understand an important real-world problem and
provide a
solution for it by building and evaluating artefacts. Researchers
thereby
can contribute with theory-grounded and artefact-centric design
knowledge to
the scientific knowledge base. Secondly, researchers can engage in
understanding and investigating specific design elements of an
information
system by conducting empirical research, both qualitatively and
quantitatively (e.g., interviews, laboratory experiments,
surveys). By doing
so, researchers can also contribute valuable design knowledge.
The aim of this track is to stimulate research that extends the
scientific
knowledge base for design research in information systems in
general and for
a digitizing world in particular. We thereby seek research that
produces
novel design knowledge about IT artefacts for addressing
real-world problems
(e.g., data-driven design, digital assistants, socially
influencing
systems), methodological contributions for the design of such
systems (e.g.,
cross-disciplinary research, participatory-design, user experience
engineering), as well as research addressing the implications of
specific
design elements of information systems (e.g. flow, privacy). We
welcome a
diversity of submissions focusing on designing, developing, and
evaluating
IT artefacts, adding to the theoretical and methodological
knowledge base
about design research in information systems and the role of
design research
in problem domains, and exploring tool support for design science
research.

## Publishing Opportunities in IS Transaction on Human-Computer
Interaction
(THCI) ##
High quality and relevant papers from this track will be
considered for
selection for fast-tracked development towards publication in AIS
Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
(
http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/).
Selected papers will need to expand in content and length in line
with the
requirements for standard research articles published in the
journal.
Although the track co-chairs are committed to guiding the selected
papers
towards final publication, further reviews may be needed before
final
publication decision can be made.
AIS Transaction on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) is a
high-quality
peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer
Interaction.
THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing
applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural
contexts.
However, it is open to all related communities that share
intellectual
interests in HCI phenomena and issues.
## Track Co-Chairs ##

- Alan R. Hevner, University of South Florida, USA
- Shirley Gregor, Australian National University, Australia
- Marc T. P. Adam, The University of Newcastle, Australia
Paper submission deadline: 29th November 2019.
The Notification of acceptance will be at the end of February,
2020.
