1st CALL FOR PAPERS:
Knowledge-based interactive environments
-In conjunction with
NordiCHI2012-
October 14th, 2012
Copenhagen, Denmark
TOPIC:
Knowledge management
has been recognized as a challenging, and sometimes deeply
problematic term, which however still keeps attracting much
attention in large areas of information systems and management
science research.
It has, however,
being going largely under the radar of the HCI community,
except perhaps insporadic references to expert systems. The
field is much broader, however, and we believe that is a
systematic re-examination of it from a fresh angle.
Our target for this
workshop is to drill deeper into how knowledge may be
approached as a basis for building better IT, and we welcome
equally contribution that describe:
-Bringing empirical
work and theoretical frameworks to bear on design in a
transparent and novel way, distinguishing such systems from
“ordinary design”, and
-Information and
knowledge sharing, which is somehow mediated by technology.
This could be documents, procedures, and expressions of art or
technology itself.
RELEVANCE:
The notion of
knowledge management has been tremendously little effective.
Apart from having inspired a large number of academic
publications, we have not been seeing much in terms of
recognizably different IT systems being implement. Most
industrial users still store information as documents in
folders or records in databases. Even if most of this
information is now easily accessible from a web-based user
interface, it is hardly being offered in a fashion that makes
it more timely or accumulative than in traditional information
systems. This is where HCI may contribute to advance the area,
through its combination of a technological and critical
tradition and broad social platform.
WORKSHOP GOALS:
The workshop is
intended to bring together scholars with HCI background and an
interest in organizational development, management science and
user studies, systems and appliances design, and evaluation
effects of technology on individuals as well as society at
large. The aim is to see how technology may be involved in
exploring, enhancing or even exploiting the idea of knowledge,
and hence to revitalize the thematic research in this
direction without going through another round of definitions
or modelling of assumptions surrounding knowledge creation and
management.
The title of the
workshop clearly also indicates that the role of knowledge
even in our own profession should not be exempt of such an
examination.
WORKSHOP OUTCOMES:
The main outcome of
the workshop will be to draw and renew interest from the
Nordic HCI community, into a an information systems and
technologically enabled field that is still widely researched
in other disciplines, but unfortunately not here.
We invite the
delegates to contribute with ideas, arguments, and examples,
which the workshop may be able to help accelerate through
interaction with peers at the conference.
More concretely, we
think that the workshop may result in
-The decision to
create a repository of contributions and annotated
bibliography, which will be maintained and extended after the
workshop
-Plan for an invited
PhD seminar organized among the participating institutions
-Statements, papers,
and demos from this workshop being developed further in order
to beaccepted and published at a dedicated conference track in
2013
-Formulation of a
longer-term dissemination plan, e.g., resulting in a special
issue of a suitable journal or an edited book coming out.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
The audience is
intended to be researchers and practitioners with experience
or interest in systematically supporting innovation, change
management or process management, as well as co-operative
knowledge management, decision theory, planning and
co-ordination, etc., and who have taken an interest in the
notion of “knowledge management”, albeit without finding it
particularly satisfying the way that it is being used
currently.
ORGANIZERS:
Steinar Kristoffersen
(PhD) is a Professor of Information Technology at Østfold
University College, where he has been teaching Interaction
Design and Mobile IT since 2007. He is also a researcher at
Møreforskning AS Molde, where he works with applied science in
logistics and IT. He has previously been a consultant and
entrepreneur, and spent time at the University of Oslo as well
as Gothenburg.
Nada Matta, Professor
at the University of Technology of Troyes. She studies
techniques in knowledge engineering and management and
especially to handle cooperative activities. She did her PhD
in knowledge engineering and Artificial Intelligence at
Univesrity of Paul Sabatier in collaboration with ARTEMIS.
Prof. Matta worked for four years at INRIA in projects with
Dassault-Aviation and Airbus Industry. Currently, Prof. Matta
a director of The Safety, Security and Control of Complex
Systems Group (https://www.gis-3sgs.fr/)
and the UTTDepartment of Human, Environment and ICT. http://techcico.utt.fr/fr/membres/matta.html
Hilda Tellioglu is an
Associate Professor at the Institute of Design and Assessment
of Technology at the Faculty of Informatics at the Vienna
University of Technology. She has been involved with both
research and teaching on: software engineering, knowledge
management, coordination support, design and development of
information technology, CSCW in systems design, in health care
work, and in architectural planning, gender issues in computer
science.
SUBMISSION:
Workshop candidates
are requested to submit a position paper, which must be
formatted according to ACM SIGCHI Publications
Format and should not
exceed 4 pages) about research or work they have been involved
with (related to the topics described above) via email to sk@hiof.no.
Papers will be
reviewed by the organizers. At least one author of accepted
papers needs to register for the workshop and for the
conference itself. All accepted papers may be made available
on the website, depending on the authors’ acceptance and
wishes. The aim, however, is to initiate a publication cycle.
