For over 50 years, ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research (CPR)
conference has engaged the academic and practitioner communities
in understanding issues pertaining to the intersection of
information technology and people. From its roots in the IT
workforce, CPR has broadened its focus to deal with all aspects of
this important and complex relationship. We are delighted to
welcome the 2019 ACM SIGMIS CPR conference to exciting Nashville,
Tennessee from June 20-22, 2019.
In the world of information systems, some issues are transitory,
and some endure. The focus of the 2019 conference is on these
enduring questions. A few of the enduring questions are:
Individual
* What leads to individuals resisting the use of IT (resistance,
workarounds, BYOD)?
* What are the impacts of emerging technologies (social media,
analytics, blockchain) on workers?
* How does the design of a system or technology impact worker
acceptance and/or resistance?
* How do individual humans interact with robotic co-workers?
Organizational
* How can organizations understand emerging technologies and their
potential risks and opportunities?
* What factors impact retention and turnover in the IT workforce?
* What unique challenges exist for managing IT workers, and how do
we meet those challenges?
* What is the business value of IT? From what does this value
derive?
* What are the best ways to organize IT work?
* Will emerging IT enable new organizational forms? What are those
forms?
Societal
* How does IT impact the nature of work? How will IT impact the
nature of work in the future?
* How can we address the various digital divides?
* How does the interaction of IT and people impact innovation, and
how is innovation impacted by this interaction?
* How does IT impact entrepreneurial activities?
Workforce
* Why are some demographic groups under-represented in the IT
workforce?
* What are the characteristics of the IT workforce? How are these
characteristics changing?
* How can universities best prepare students for careers in
information systems and information technology?
* What are the key skills for entry into the IT workforce? How are
these skills changing?
* What ethical issues result from embedding IT in work?
* What security and privacy issues result from embedding IT in
work?
IS Education
* How do we help students develop the skills needed for entry
into, and success in the IT workforce?
* How can we attract promising students to IS programs?
* How should IS programs deal with emerging technologies?
* How do IS programs differentiate themselves from computer
science, analytics, data science and other overlapping programs?
* How can universities best prepare students for careers in
information systems and information technology?
In addition to the conference theme, we also invite submissions to
a general Information Systems track that broadly addresses issues
at the intersection of information technology and people.
Doctoral Consortium
A doctoral consortium will take place as in previous years in
conjunction with the CPR 2019 conference. It is meant for students
spanning those at an early stage in their doctoral program to
those who are more advanced and are at the stage of writing their
dissertation proposal, and who are conducting research on a topic
related to the conference theme or to the broad focus of the CPR
conference on understanding issues pertaining to the intersection
of information technology and people. The purpose of the
consortium is two-fold: 1) provide feedback and guidance to
students on their proposal while at a stage where feedback can be
considered for future dissertation work, and 2) provide mentoring
and networking opportunities to students who wish to pursue
careers as researchers at the intersection of information systems
and people.
Doctoral students must be nominated to the consortium by a faculty
sponsor. Students nominated for the consortium should submit via
email to Dr. Indira Guzman (
Indira.Guzman@trident.edu) a 10-page
research proposal (including all text, figures, and references;
double space) to be reviewed by a panel of highly qualified senior
faculty mentors. The doctoral students selected to participate in
the doctoral consortium will receive one round of written feedback
on their proposal.
At the conference, each student will have 15-20 minutes to present
their research ideas and receive feedback in-person from
experienced researchers and fellow consortium participants. The
doctoral consortium will allow activities in plenary mode and
intense workshop sessions in smaller groups. The submission
deadline for doctoral consortium application is the same as the
general submission deadline. Accepted students may choose to
publish the full proposal that was submitted for evaluation or an
extended abstract of their proposal in the conference proceedings.
Funding will be available to assist with travel and registration
fees to students selected for the doctoral consortium.
Format of Submissions
ACM SIGMIS CPR 2019 welcomes both completed papers and
research-in-progress papers, (which may be accepted as posters),
and submissions designated as posters. All papers must be
original, unpublished elsewhere, and submitted on the ACM SIG
proceedings template available for download from:
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template-16dec2016.
All reviewing will be double-blind.
* Completed papers may include conceptual papers, empirical papers
and industry case studies. They must not exceed 5000 words
including all text, figures, and tables. The abstract, keywords,
and references are excluded from this page count.
* Research-in-progress papers must not exceed 2000 words including
all text, figures, and tables. The abstract, keywords, and
references are excluded from this page count.
* Poster presentations must not exceed 500 words and should
provide a comprehensive overview of the topic, research approach,
findings to date (if any) and future plans for project.
* Ideas for interesting panels related to the conference theme
should be submitted directly to Craig Van Slyke
(
vanslyke@latech.edu<mailto:vanslyke@latech.edu>).
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the refereed
conference proceedings, which will be distributed at the
conference. Authors of accepted papers may choose to publish
complete papers or extended abstracts of their research in the
conference proceedings. All completed research papers that are to
be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings will
be considered for the Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper
of the Year Award. The Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper
and other exemplar papers will be invited for publication in the
DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems-the quarterly
journal publication of ACM SIGMIS. Articles will not be published
in the event proceedings if at least one author of a submitted
work is unable to present their article at the conference.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This
date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your
conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for
any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare
conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication
date remains the first day of the conference.)

ACM Digital Library at

Conference Location
Nashville, Tennessee is known as the Home of Country Music, but it
has much more to offer. Nashville is the state capital, and is
home to numerous higher education institutions, including
Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University, Belmont
University, and Lipscomb University. Healthcare, not music, is
Nashville's largest industry, employing 200,000 and contributing
$30,000,000,000 to the regional economy. Nashville is also the
third fastest growing economy in the United States. As one might
expect, Nashville has a lively music scene in addition to the
honky-tonk music venues along the famed "District," the city
boasts a major performing arts center and opera and ballet
companies, along with the Nashville Symphony. Nashville is home to
numerous country music icons, such as the Ryman Auditorium, the
Grand Ole Opry House, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and
Museum, but also boasts numerous art centers and museums, and a
botanical garden. The Nashville International Airport pro
vides direct flights to over fifty cities, including London
(Heathrow), Dallas, Los Angeles, New York (JFK and LaGuardia),
Chicago, and Washington D.C. (Reagan and Dulles).
