Part of the Track: Knowledge Innovation and
Entrepreneurial Systems
Minitrack description: The objective of this minitrack is to
contribute to the body of knowledge that helps scholars and
practitioners increase their collective understanding of:
(1) How knowledge and AI systems are planned,
designed, built, implemented, used, evaluated, supported,
upgraded, and evolved;
(2) How knowledge and AI systems impact the
context in which they are embedded; and
(3) The human behaviors reflected within and
induced through both (1) and (2)
By knowledge and AI systems, we mean systems in
which human participants and/or machines perform work
(processes and activities) related to the creation, retention,
transfer and/or application of knowledge using information,
technology, and other resources to produce informational
products and/or services for internal or external customers.
Such systems may include, but are not limited to, knowledge
management systems, decision systems, social media, expert
systems, machine learning systems, and other AI systems as
well as any other IT-enabled knowledge processes.
We welcome both design science and design theory
research in knowledge and AI systems as well as behavioral
research related to the appropriation of knowledge and AI
systems in order to span the entire lifecycle of such systems.
Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
- Theoretical models, methodologies, tools as
well as technological and managerial practices for planning,
designing, building, implementing, using, evaluating,
supporting and upgrading knowledge and AI systems
- Case studies focusing on the planning,
designing, building, implementing, using, evaluating,
supporting and upgrading of knowledge processes and
technologies (e.g., virtual reality, social media, expert
systems, data analytics, AI, machine learning, e-learning)
- Systems design for social knowledge creation
and use (e.g. social media system architectures)
- Development of frameworks for classifying
knowledge and AI systems
- Incorporating and/or integrating knowledge
services and mashups, social media, Web 2.0/3.0, cloud
computing, and/or ubiquitous technologies in knowledge and AI
systems
- Appropriation and use of social media upon
individual users, groups, businesses, and governments for
supporting knowledge processes
- Diversity aspects of designing and
appropriating knowledge and AI systems
- Changing organizational cultures and structures
through knowledge and AI systems
- Design, evaluation, and/or use of processes,
semantic technologies, knowledge retrieval and representation
methods, and/or systems to map, track and/or visualize social
networks and/or work systems in order to facilitate knowledge
creation and sharing and quick problem solving (e.g., when
unexpected coordination breakdowns emerge)
- Risks and challenges of knowledge and AI
systems for knowledge practices (e.g. information overload,
‘operator hand-off’ problems, technostress, and protection of
information assets)
- Design processes, representations, and/or
kernel (reference) theories for co-designing and/or
co-evolving knowledge and AI systems
- Technology-in-practice outcomes and processes
across both technology-centric and socio-centric approaches to
knowledge and AI systems design (as related to, but not
limited to, various affordance and agency/agential frameworks,
computer-supported cooperative work, etc.)
- Human-computer interaction in a knowledge and
AI systems context
- Issues in, limitations of and barriers to
accessing tacit knowledge with knowledge and AI systems
- Human behaviors reflected within human-machine
structuration phenomena
