The Ninth Annual SIG IS Cognitive Research Exchange Workshop
Sunday, December 12, 2010 (Pre-ICIS)
St. Louis, Missouri 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Submission Deadline: September 28, 2010

The organizing committee for the SIG IS Cognitive Research Exchange
(IS-CoRE) Workshop invites research papers for its Ninth Annual meeting.
In addressing IS research questions, these papers are expected to use
theories and methods from the cognitive and psychological sciences. This
is a critical moment in time for us to rely on these other disciplines
to complement IS research. 

The future of the Information System discipline is bound to involve
human cognition as more and more systems are being used to meet our
social needs. Human cognition deals with how we know things, through
processes such as reasoning, perception, and judgment. 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. As such,
the questions of interest that are relevant to this SIG group focus on
IS problems in terms of the process of knowing. There is a wide range of
diverse topics from which these questions can come. These include, but
are not limited to, the ones listed below. 

* 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 

This workshop is intended to help authors improve their work through
relevant feedback that will be provided by peers. With such feedback,
the overall aim is to increase the chances of publication for a given
paper. As such, we encourage authors to submit completed papers that are
under preparation for submission to an academic journal.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors should submit full papers. Papers should be limited to 10,000
words, including tables, figures, and references. Authors 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". 

Before submitting manuscripts, please format papers so that:
(1) the first page contains only the paper title, author names,
affiliations, and e-mail addresses
(2) the second page contains only the paper title and abstract, without
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. 

REVIEWING
Submissions will be double-blind reviewed. The organizing committee
will participate in and coordinate the review process. Submitting
authors agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other
submissions, if requested. 

WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop is intended to serve as a showcase of leading cognitive
research in information systems. There are no separate tracks or
concurrent presentations. The format of the workshop is designed to
enable open and constructive discussions of the research, in a spirit of
collegial community-building. The workshop will run for the full day
(tentatively 8:30AM - 5:00pm). A small fee (TBA) will be charged to
cover costs. 

Doctoral students are encouraged to attend the IS-CoRE workshop. A
discounted rate for attendance will be extended to these students. There
will be special roundtable discussions of Ph.D. students’ proposals.
In prior years, students have found this to be very helpful. A separate
call for students’ proposals will follow this call for papers at a
later date.

EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers to help authors
publish their papers in top academic journals. In order to prevent
copyright issues for subsequent publication, authors of accepted papers
will be required to 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
papers presented for discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis
of the theoretical background, methods and findings of the full paper.
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
Submission of extended abstracts for program:  November 15, 2010
Workshop:  Sunday, December 12, 2010
