Call for Mini-Track Proposals (Deadline: November 1, 2010)

 

AMCIS 2011 Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Track, Sponsored by SIG-HCI

 

We formally invite information systems scholars interested in HCI-related research to propose minitracks for the upcoming AMCIS 2011 (August 4-8, 2011). See AMCIS 2011 site at http://amcis2011.aisnet.org/. To formally submit a minitrack, please use the following site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011

 

The AMCIS 2011 HCI Track will provide a forum for AIS members to present, discuss, and explore a wide range of issues related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with Information Systems (IS). These issues include the history, foundation disciplines, theories, practice, methodologies and techniques, new developments, and applications concerning the interaction between humans, information, information systems, and technology. In an effort to bridge academia and industry, papers may range from formal research studies to those based on experiences, real-world observations, and expert opinion. The Track is open to all types of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies (including conceptualization, theorization, case study, action research, experimentation, field study, survey, and simulation). We also welcome visionary articles, interactive demonstrations, and research in progress papers.

 

The official call for AMCIS 2011 mini-tracks, along with submission details, can be found at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011. When you submit your mini-track to Manuscript Central, be sure to specify that you would like it placed under the HCI Track.

 

At the end of this call is a list of HCI mini-tracks that were successfully conducted at AMCIS 2010 in Peru, along with names and emails of the mini-track co-chairs. Mini-tracks are not limited to those previously conducted—please propose new, exciting, and innovative mini-tracks for the HCI Track! (We suggest potential new areas at the end of this memo) We would also like to repeat the successful mini-tracks that were conducted last year. Thus, if your interests are in line with these mini-tracks only, please contact the previous mini-track co-chairs to express your interest in helping out. There is often a need for multiple chairs on any mini-track, and sometimes people do not have time to run the same mini-track again.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for helping to make next year's AMCIS HCI Track a success!

Co-Chairs, AMCIS 2011 HCI Track

 

Examples of potential areas in HCI where new mini-tracks would be useful:

 

•             Interface designs on new platforms such as mobile and ubiquitous technologies

•             Aesthetic and affective computing

•             HCI-specific research methodologies

•             Usability engineering; metrics and methods for user interface assessment and evaluation

•             Behavioral, cognitive, motivational, and affective aspects of human/technology interaction

•             HCI and the IT artifact

•             Designs for multi-dimensional information visualizations

•             Design to improve IS security and IT policy compliance

•             Teaching HCI in an IS program

•             HCI Issues in Healthcare IT
