For over 50 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 and people. From its roots in the IT workforce, CPR has broadened its focus to deal with all aspects of this important and complex relationship. We are delighted to welcome the 2019 ACM SIGMIS CPR conference to exciting Nashville, Tennessee from June 20-22, 2019.
In the world of information systems, some issues are transitory, and some endure. The focus of the 2019 conference is on these enduring questions. A few of the enduring questions are:
Individual
· What leads to individuals resisting the use of IT (resistance, workarounds, BYOD)?
· What are the impacts of emerging technologies (social media, analytics, blockchain) on workers?
· How does the design of a system or technology impact worker acceptance and/or resistance?
· How do individual humans interact with robotic co-workers?
Organizational
· How can organizations understand emerging technologies and their potential risks and opportunities?
· 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?
· What is the business value of IT? From what does this value derive?
· What are the best ways to organize IT work?
· Will emerging IT enable new organizational forms? What are those forms?
Societal
· How does IT impact the nature of work? How will IT impact the nature of work in the future?
· How can we address the various digital divides?
· How does the interaction of IT and people impact innovation, and how is innovation impacted by this interaction?
· How does IT impact entrepreneurial activities?
Workforce
· Why are some demographic groups under-represented in the IT workforce?
· What are the characteristics of the IT workforce? How are these characteristics changing?
· How can universities best prepare students for careers in information systems and information technology?
· 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?
IS Education
· How do we help students develop the skills needed for entry into, and success in the IT workforce?
· How can we attract promising students to IS programs?
· How should IS programs deal with emerging technologies?
· How do IS programs differentiate themselves from computer science, analytics, data science and other overlapping programs?
· How can universities best prepare students for careers in information systems and information technology?
In addition to the conference theme, we also invite submissions to a general Information Systems track that broadly addresses issues at the intersection of information technology and people.
Doctoral Consortium
A doctoral consortium will take place as in previous years in conjunction with the CPR 2019 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, and 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 to Dr. Indira Guzman (Indira.Guzman@trident.edu mailto:Indira.Guzman@trident.edu) 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.)
Proceedings of all previous CPR conferences are available in the ACM Digital Library at http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm.
Conference Location
Nashville, Tennessee is known as the Home of Country Music, but it has much more to offer. Nashville is the state capital, and is home to numerous higher education institutions, including Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University, Belmont University, and Lipscomb University. Healthcare, not music, is Nashville’s largest industry, employing 200,000 and contributing $30,000,000,000 to the regional economy. Nashville is also the third fastest growing economy in the United States. As one might expect, Nashville has a lively music scene in addition to the honky-tonk music venues along the famed “District,” the city boasts a major performing arts center and opera and ballet companies, along with the Nashville Symphony. Nashville is home to numerous country music icons, such as the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry House, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but also boasts numerous art centers and museums, and a botanical garden. The Nashville International Airport provides direct flights to over fifty cities, including London (Heathrow), Dallas, Los Angeles, New York (JFK and LaGuardia), Chicago, and Washington D.C. (Reagan and Dulles).
