CFP: SIGPrag 2010 at ICIS in St. Louis

Get Pragmatic – Get Published!

In the IS field there is a growing recognition of the importance of theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, communicative, and action-oriented perspective. The aim of the AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPrag) is to provide a much-needed centre of gravity and to facilitate exchange of ideas and further development of this area of IS scholarship. The first SIGPrag scientific event was held in Paris at ICIS 2008 and a second event was organized in Phoenix at ICIS 2009. SIGPrag now invites researchers to contribute papers advancing its central theme: theorizing the IT artefact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic, design and action-oriented perspective.

SIGPrag 2010 will address pragmatic issues across the full spectrum of information systems research, including areas such as systems development, social software, social media, social responsibility, business in society, business modelling, sustainable development, digital innovation, and IT in the supply chain. Diverse aspects of pragmatic theory, pragmatic research, and pragmatic methods are of special interest and especially their relation to other research streams such as design science research and action research. How can pragmatic IS research make a difference in practice and theory?

Submission will undergo peer-review and accepted papers will be presented at the SIGPrag meeting in conjunction with ICIS 2010 in St. Louis, MO, USA. Those interested should submit their paper through the Sprouts review system by September 17, 2010. Proceedings will be published through Sprouts. Submissions should follow the format of the ICIS template (see http://icis2010.aisnet.org/).

The format of SIGPrag 2010 will be highly interactive and developmental. Although we are soliciting high-quality, completed research papers, the assumption is that authors will develop these further for future submission to journals. Each author is therefore asked to identify which journal would be the primary future target for his or her work. This will be factored into the selection of reviewers and discussants at the event in St. Louis as a means to provide as much as possible actionable advice to increase the success of the subsequent journal submission. Submitting a paper also incurs and obligation to serve as discussant of another paper at the workshop, should ones own paper be accepted.

Important dates:

* September 17, 2010: Paper Submission * October 22, 2010: Notification of acceptance * November 19, 2010: Final Papers due * December, 2010: SIGPrag meeting at ICIS 2010 in St. Louis, MO, USA (Dec 12–15)
