CFP: ACIS 2010 Track “Information Technology in Creative Environments”
http://conferenceit.com.au/acis2010/Conference%20Tracks_Creative.htm as part of the 21st Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS 2010) Brisbane, Australia, 1-3 December 2010, http://acis2010.org
*Important Dates*
Paper submission: 12 July 2010 Notification of acceptance: 17 September 2010 ACIS 2010 conference: 1-3 December 2010
*Track Description*
Creativity is commonly associated with the generation of products, services, processes, or ideas that are both novel and appropriate. With the emergence of the creative industries as an entire sector that has developed around creative products, the use of information technology (IT) in creative environments becomes increasingly critical. Prominent application areas include the production of computer games, visual effects, music, or feature films. At the same time, other industries such as software development, pharmaceuticals, or research and development are increasingly recognizing the role of creativity. Usually, the underlying creative process is characterized by a complex interplay of human actors, IT, and other resources that generate creative products. It is collaboration-intensive, knowledge-intensive, and characterized by high levels of uncertainty. This playground opens numerous research opportunities for IS researchers, who are challenged to investigate the role of IT and its management in creative environments. In particular, there is a lack of foundational theory that explains how creativity impacts socio-technical systems and their management.
The aim of this track is to further the discussion of the role and relevance of creativity in socio-technical systems that involve IT. It intends to provide thought leaders with a forum that accounts for the breadth of creativity research in IS and thus contributes to defining an important and emergent IS research domain. Potential topics range from the use of creativity support systems and knowledge management systems in creative environments to the application of existent theories on creativity at the individual, group, and organizational level to IS-related phenomena as well as the development of new theory.
We invite rigorous and relevant studies employing a wide variety of methods. Empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development will be considered. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the international editorial board.
*Relevant Topics*
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Creativity support systems (CSS)
- Group support systems (GSS) in creative processes
- Creative work over distance: ICT-support for creative virtual teams
- The role of Social Media, Social Software and Enterprise 2.0 techniques in creative processes
- Knowledge management systems and creativity
- Enterprise content management (ECM) and creativity
- Creativity in the process of requirements engineering and systems development
- IT-enabled creativity management
- Theories on creativity relevant to the IS discipline
- IS theories that can be applied to the phenomenon of creativity in socio-technical systems
- Development of new foundational theory on creativity in socio-technical contexts
- Case studies in the creative industries
*Confirmed journal special issues*
Authors of selected high quality papers from the track will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to the related special issue in Information Systems and e-Business Management (ISeB).
