*CALL FOR PAPERS*


Co-creating for Context in Prospective Transfer & Diffusion of IT



*IFIP 8.6 Working Conference, Dublin, June 2022*

*Organized by the Innovation Value Institute, Maynooth University, Republic
of Ireland.*

Since our last call for papers, international events have brought
particular emphasis on the inherent and increasing diversity, complexity
and uncertainty of context(s) influencing the diffusion of emerging IT.
This challenges our academic community to acknowledge and better address
such context in our methods, theories and practices of research. Not only
are IT artefacts becoming more complex, so too are the environments which
they inhabit (Smart homes, Smart City, Industry 4.0, Agriculture 4.0 etc.)
and the contexts influencing their use.

Key interrelated challenges requiring understanding and solutions
include: *technological
advances* (e.g. IoT, AI and Blockchain) enabling increasing diversity,
volume and fluidity of data flowing amongst actors (technical and
non-technical) to create value; *public sentiment and political policies*
shifting priorities of research; *IT enabled servitization* delivering new
value, markets and market influences; *deepening IT penetration* into
various life domains (from governing cities, to transport, housing and
farming); and *innovation ecosystems* that enrich, enlarge and intersect
with each other (platform based ecosystems, new transport modalities such
as driverless cars).

The interdisciplinary nature of IS/IT research acknowledges the richness of
context, by drawing on diverse research fields (e.g. the humanities, social
sciences, engineering and business). The transfer & diffusion of IT
innovations depends on numerous actors, factors and contingencies, from
conception & development up to scaling, deployment and sustainable use over
space and time. Today, more than ever, diverse sources of data, information
and knowledge must converge to create new value in practice and new
theoretical insight. We view this as *co-creation* in the broadest sense,
whereby diverse and relevant actors are identified and contribute to
designing new IT artefacts, realising new ‘value-in-use’ and advancing
knowledge in academic research.

The Conference thus addresses what we may call *co-creating for context*.
Recognising the diversity, complexity and uncertainty of context in IT
transfer and diffusion, we are interested in contributions that appreciate
and showcase how the diversity of actors, their perspectives and related
methods, together help unpack context(s) and thus the conditions for
effective IT transfer and diffusion.

The Conference welcomes any contribution within the general fit of the IFIP
8.6 Working Group, as well as contributions that specifically tackle the
conference theme. For example, co-creating with practice in capturing what
is happening on the ground and at the precipice of digital transformation;
harnessing the collective intelligence of citizens in devising and/or
offering solutions, or converging interdisciplinary expertise to gain new
or greater insight.

The Conference is intended to be a forum for both scholars, practitioners
and doctoral students who are interested in exchanging ideas and
collaborating with members of the IFIP community around the topic of
transfer & diffusion of IT. Research is invited, but not limited to some of
the following possible topics:

1) How drawing on diverse & relevant stakeholders (e.g. citizens,
businesses, public sector), can advance understanding of context leading to
new knowledge.

2) Converging interdisciplinary expertise/knowledge/theory to gain new
insight into the context and conditions of IT transfer and diffusion.

3) Converging diverse datasets to gain new insight into the context and
conditions of IT transfer and diffusion.

4) Showcasing how methods/theory can represent diverse actors for
uncovering new contextual insight (e.g. assemblage theory, complexity
theory, actor network theory, system dynamics theory, socio-materiality
etc.).

5) Accounting for the level of influence of values and power permeating
actors in context.

6) Presenting (multi-level) case studies contextualising the relation
between the IT artefact and other actors in the environment that inform
conditions of scaling.

7) Ethnographic and longitudinal approaches in accounting for richness
and temporality of context.
