****************************
*MIND THE GAP: Shared stories from the trenches of IS, HCI and
Design frontiers, in real-life projects*
a workshop @
**ECIS'2019 - 27th European Conference on Information Systems:
Information Systems for a Sharing Society**,
June 8-14, in Stockholm and Uppsala, Sweden
****************************
**Call for Participation**
Over the past two decades, the field of Information Systems (IS)
has developed to account for the growing relationship between
people, ICT technologies, business contexts and societal goals
when designing and developing digital solutions. The body of
knowledge has evolved to account for the more iterative,
incremental and agile paces of real-life IS development, borrowing
(and providing) knowledge, context and methodologies from (and to)
related fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and (User
Experience /Service) Design.
When dealing with real-life challenges, researchers and
professionals have a variety of methodologies, techniques and
tools to use for supporting the process. Albeit, there is a lack
of practical guidance to choose which one is a best fit to apply,
how to evaluate the (ongoing) outcome and, if needed, to improve
or revise the strategy and ended solution.
We are planning a hands-on *full-day co-design workshop* in order
to identify fertile research gaps on the transdisciplinary
frontier of HCI, IS and Design. We aim further to identify
opportunities for effective future interdisciplinary and
collaborative work, along publishing agenda, between workshop
participants and respective extended network.
**Key Goals**
The purpose of the workshop is to strengthen and develop a
community of researchers and practitioners, working in the
crossroad of the disciplines of (UX/Service) Design, HCI and IS.
Main goals are to:
- Strengthen the network of academics and practitioners,
within the IS community, that commonly cross the frontiers of
disciplines, mixing and adapting methodologies, technologies and
tools to pragmatically design and develop real-life solutions;
- Provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to
come together to reflect, to gain and to give feedback, discussing
approaches, challenges and opportunities for the future;
- Identify major research avenues for future interdisciplinary
collaboration;
- Share and catalogue case studies, practices and/or field
reports on innovative approaches and perspectives on information
systems and services development, crossing disciplines.
**How to Participate?**
We encourage researchers and practitioners involved in
practice-oriented research projects to submit a short paper (no
more than 5 pages, on the ECIS Research Project format) stating
background; brief case/project/process description; challenges and
opportunities identified and what had been done to overcome
difficulties, identifying what else authors would like to be
doing.*
