The adoption and diffusion of information technology has passed through decades of developments and major shifts. It has progressed from developing and adopting single isolated systems to large integrated systems to cloud computing. It has taken major shifts and turns with the adoption of mobile technology, web-based services, wearables and Internet of Things. In the IFIP 8.6 tradition, this working conference focuses on the new developments in the adoption and diffusion of technology, systems and the resulting information that is produced and used for different purposes.
The aim is to progress our understanding of the plethora of new technologies that are being adopted everyday by individuals, organisations, sectors and society in order to better understand the human aspects of living and organising with these technologies. In particular, we call for research from different contexts and walks of life to understand the adoption and organising principles of emerging smart devices and technologies in smart homes, smart cars, smart phones, smart government, smart cities and smart organisations. Who is becoming smart and what are they becoming smart about? Who are the “winners and losers” and what role does technology play? How are emerging technologies adopted and appropriated in everyday life and what impact are they exerting?
The conference also aims to broaden the theoretical base of adoption and diffusion of technology in light of these new technologies and new challenges. Hence, while we welcome papers that focus on traditional diffusion of innovation theories, we strongly encourage critical thinking and development and utilisation of new, non-traditional and context specific conceptual lenses and viewpoints.
We welcome papers that focus on technology at home, in the workplace and as it applies to the delivery of public services. We hope to move forward in our understanding of different types of adoption contexts which include organisations, sectors and society. Some types of organisations and sectors have traditionally been less represented in our research and we would encourage scholarly work in these areas. For example, not-for-profit and voluntary sector organisations, criminal justice, building and construction, automotive, transportation and infrastructure , emergency management as well as the energy sectors. We also encourage and welcome papers on general topics related to technology implementation, adoption and transfer.
Topics of submission may include but are not limited to:
· Appropriation of emerging technologies including smart and mobile devices, cloud computing, data analytics, drones in homes, cars and transportation systems, government, cities and different organisations.
· Diffusion, transfer, and implementation of both mature and immature smart information technologies and systems in organizations and among organizations, sectors, and countries.
· Transfer of technology to be incorporated in systems for customers and clients and in different developing and developed countries.
· Development of frameworks, models, and terminology for information technology transfer and diffusion in different contexts and different types of technology.
· Adoption and diffusion of technology in the emergency management, political and criminal justice sectors
· Identification of risk factors and barriers to success in emerging technology adoption and strategies for addressing them.
· Conditions or scenarios under which specific transfer and diffusion techniques are applicable.
· Methods to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and value of technology transfer programs and approaches, including time and effort estimators and metrics.
· Organization design and process issues related to technology transfer and diffusion.
· Case studies of technology transfer and diffusion to provide instances to guide research, development, and practice.
· Standards and intellectual property issues that inhibit or facilitate information technology transfer.
· Ethics in the adoption of Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, wearables and mobile technology.
