Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting a paper and visiting Grenoble, France on 08th – 9th June 2020 to participate in
The 6th International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS development (STPIS'20)
Submission is open for the first call with a submission deadline of 01 April 2020 The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in organizational systems development, the long-term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach. Following the purpose, only part of the workshop is devoted to presentations, the rest is designated for collaborative work. This year we will again follow the practice established during STPIS'17 and will be working on a real case from the local industry.

STPIS is attached to the CAiSE’20 conference: http://caise20.imag.fr/
A brief description is presented below
Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over a half century, it is often forgotten in the Information Systems (IS) discourse today. Consequently, many “new approaches” appear to reflect on IS systems problems, such as modern IT systems being poorly adjusted to the external or/and internal environment (e.g. market, organizational culture) of organizations in which they are (to be) deployed. We strongly believe that it is high time the social-technical perspective took its rightful place in IS research, practice and teaching. The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long-term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 1. Contemporary socio-technical approaches, in practice and theory 2. Experiences of and reflections about using socio-technical approaches in practice 3. Industry 5.0 / Society 6.0 as part of socio-technical practice and agenda 4.
