Scope

Cognitive aspects of information systems engineering is an area that is gaining interest and importance in industry and research. In recent years, human aspects and specifically cognitive aspects in software engineering and information systems engineering have received increasing attention in literature and conferences, acknowledging that these aspects are as important as the technical ones, which have traditionally been in the center of attention. The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding and more appropriate support of the cognitive processes and challenges practitioners experience when performing information systems development activities. Understanding the challenges and needs, educational programs as well as development supporting tools and notations may be enhanced for a better fit to our natural cognition, leading to better performance of engineers and higher systems quality.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

Identification of cognitive challenges in IS development:

Cognitive processes involved in IS development
Cognitive difficulties and challenges in IS development
Collaborative/distributed cognition in teamwork
Social, managerial and cultural effects on individual cognition-related characteristics of different development methods, notations and paradigms.

Proposed solutions for supporting cognitive processes in IS development:

Development practices
Development supporting tools
Visual models
Designated knowledge management solutions

Educational aspects of IS development

Learning processes in IS development
Education programs, methods and tools
Teaching cases
