Doctoral Research Roundtable The Ninth Annual SIG IS Cognitive Research Exchange Workshop Sunday, December 12, 2010 (Pre-ICIS) St. Louis, Missouri
CALL FOR DOCTORAL STUDENT RESEARCH PROPOSALS
Submission Deadline: September 28, 2010
The organizing committee for the SIG IS Cognitive Research Exchange (IS-CoRE) Workshop invites doctoral students to submit research proposals for its Ninth Annual meeting. Like other papers in the workshop, proposals should address human cognition (i.e., how we know things, through processes such as reasoning, perception, and judgment) in an IS context. Doctoral research proposals will be discussed in a special portion of the workshop, the format of which will depend on the number of proposals accepted. Discussions are expected to be open and constructive, in a spirit of collegial community-building. A discounted rate for attendance will be extended to these students (e.g., early student registration is $70).
IS-CoRE is intended to represent and support researchers in information systems who view understanding human cognition as a critical component to the successful design and implementation of information systems. Accordingly, doctoral research proposals should address IS research questions using theories and methods from the cognitive and psychological sciences. There is a wide range of diverse topics from which these questions can come. These include, but are not limited to:
* Situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition * Cognition in Virtual Worlds * Collaborative work * Group and individual decision support systems * Group and individual group problem-finding, problem-solving * Cognitive perspectives on human or computer-mediated knowledge-sharing * Cognitive perspectives on decision processes * Cognitive perspectives on knowledge management * Cognitive perspectives on the design or use of information systems * Cognitive processes of programmers/systems developers * Cognitive aspects of learning and innovation * Creativity and creative cognition * Design of user learning and training interventions * Human factors in information environments * Human-computer interaction or human factors perspectives involving cognition or perception * Research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS
Authors of accepted proposals will be notified of the format decision in their acceptance letters. Regardless of format, doctoral students will receive feedback from IS-CoRE members and workshop attendees. In prior years, students have found this portion of the workshop to be very helpful.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Doctoral students should limit their proposals to about 5,000 words, including tables, figures, and references. They must also include an abstract not exceeding 300 words. Papers are to be submitted electronically to rotondo@cobilan.msstate.edu with the subject line "CORE Submission-PhD Proposal".
Before submitting manuscripts, please format papers so that: (1) the first page contains only the paper title, the subtitle “Doctoral Student Research Proposal,” author names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses (2) the second page contains only the paper title, the subtitle “Doctoral Student Research Proposal,” and abstract, but no author names (3) identifying information is removed from the file properties (4) all comments are removed and changes are accepted (if necessary)
Papers may be submitted in Word, WordPerfect, or Acrobat formats. If submitting in Acrobat, please submit the title page with author information separately.
WORKSHOP FORMAT For more information about the workshop and IS-CoRE, please see our Web site at http://www.ou.edu/is-core/.
EXTENDED ABSTRACTS This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers and to help authors publish their papers in top academic journals. In order to prevent copyright issues for subsequent publication, doctoral students can, if they wish, submit an extended abstract which will be distributed at the workshop and made available on the SIG website. The purpose of this extended abstract is to highlight key aspects of the proposal presented for discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis of the theoretical background. Depending on the student’s progress, the abstract can also include proposed methods and findings. The extended abstract should not exceed 2 pages of single-spaced text including any tables, figures and references.
IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: September 28, 2010 Acceptance notification: October 31, 2010 Workshop: Sunday, December 12, 2010
