HICSS-52 Call for papers for the minitrack on: “COLLABORATION WITH AUTOMATION: MACHINES AS TEAMMATES MINITRACK" Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) Maui - January 8-11, 2019

Papers are invited for the minitrack on “Collaboration with Automation: Machines as Teammates Minitrack" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS):

Siri (the Apple iPhone conversational assistant), Alexa (Amazon’s conversational agent), physical robots, virtual customer-service agents, and many other pseudo-intelligent agents, use text clues, vocal cues, or other environmental sensors to retrieve information from the user, process it, and respond appropriately. These agents help individuals complete everyday tasks such as find directions, ask for help when ordering goods or services on a website, or understand additional information about a topic or idea. Humans still use automated agents for simple, utilitarian tasks, but these types of assistants are able to undertake larger and more important tasks. While intelligent agents present a potential solution, it is not fully understood about how humans will actually interact with digitized experts or if humans utilize intelligent agents in ways different from traditional human-to-human collaboration. As intelligent systems advance and become more ubiquitous, we need to explore new dimensions of human-computer collaboration based on natural communication patterns and consideration of human individual differences.

This minitrack will examine the emergence of this new type of collaboration and its implications for individuals, teams, organizations, and crowds. It is focused at the intersection of human-machine collaboration. Themes and topics of relevance to this mini-track include, but are not limited to:

_Human interaction with automated teammates_

* Individual differences and personality traits needed for quality collaboration with machines * Studies that examine leadership, or group dynamics when digital agents are part of the team * Studies or theories that examine trust in automation and how this trust is activated, violated, increased or diminished by automated teammates * Human collaboration with artificial agents and the evaluation of computer systems as team members, including agent-based support for individual decision makers * Case studies or experiments that examine how cultural or organizational paradigms impact the acceptance or rejection of automated teammates * Potential positive impacts (e.g., cognitive support, increased decision accuracy, etc.) or negative (e.g., overreliance on automation, loss of expertise, threat, etc.) of introducing automated teammates * Potential positive and negative affective impacts (e.g., trust, satisfaction, envy, etc.) of automatons on individuals

_Design approaches for collaborating automatons_

* Theories, guidelines and strategies for designing more collaborative automatons * Frameworks for division of labor between human and machine partners * Usability considerations as it relates to collaboration with artificial intelligence * Architectures for machine-based collaboration agents * Proof of concepts – examples of breakthrough collaboration automatons, processes and systems

_Theoretical development for automated teammates_

* Theoretical foundations of productivity, creativity, satisfaction, and other constructs relating to collaboration with automation * Theories and techniques for incorporating automation into existing teams * New phenomena and theories that emerge as humans begin to collaborate with artificial intelligence * Coping with resistance to change in machine-based collaboration * Success factors for collaborating with machines * Theories for acceptance, use, and diffusion of collaborating automatons * Studies on the efficacy of interventions intended to introduce collaborative agents into an organization
