Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting to the 1st call of
4th International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS
development (STPIS'18), Tallinn, Estonia
12th June 2018
This is the reminder for the 1st call with a submission deadline
of *4 March 2018*
The main */purpose /*of the workshop is to arrange */discussions
/*on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the
long term goal being to make this workshop a/*meeting place for
the community of IS researchers and practitioners*/ interested in
the socio-technical approach.
Following the purpose, only part of the workshop is devoted to
presentations, the rest is designated for collaborative work. This
year we follow the practice established during STPI'17 and will be
working on a *real case from the local industry*. We are now
discussing a potential case with the local CAiSE'18 organizers. It
will be announced on our WEB site as soon as it becomes certain.

Short description is presented below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for
over a half century, it is often forgotten in the Information
Systems (IS) discourse today. Consequently, many “new approaches”
appear to reflect on IS systems problems, such as modern IT
systems poorly adjusted to the external or/and internal
environment (e.g. market, organizational culture) of organizations
in which they are (to be) deployed. We strongly believe that it is
high time the social-technical perspective took its proper place
in IS research, practice and teaching.
The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on
using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long
term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the
community of IS researchers and practitioners interested in the
socio-technical approach.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Case studies using socio-technical approach
* Information system design using socio-technical approach
* Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption
* Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration
of
– health care systems
– crisis management systems
– information security management systems
– learning systems
– privacy enhanced technology
* Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective
* Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and
adoption
* IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective
* Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of
socio-technical systems
We invite submissions of short and long papers and multi-media
materials in the following categories:
* Position papers
* Idea papers
* Experience reports
* Research papers
* Multi-media. Besides papers, we accept submissions in form of
multi-media materials, for example, recorded video or animated
presentation, describing industrial experience of using
socio-technical perspective for IS analysis or development. In
case of acceptance, an extended abstract is published in the
workshop proceedings, while the multi-media material itself or a
link to it is placed on the workshop site.
