*Objective and Aspirations*

The purpose of the mini-track is raise attention of Information Systems researchers to the emerging area of Mobile Consumer Services and Applications. Our objective is to provide a discussion forum for researchers whom are interested in the development and design of mobile information systems primarily for consumer use. The opportunity to present and debate theory-based solutions for problems that industry is currently facing in the field of consumers mobile services and applications will help the advancement of design science research within this paradigm.

* Description*

Amazing business and technology successes such as Apple’s iPhone and App Store for distributing associated applications is motivating Information Systems researchers to shift the focus of design and development oriented research towards the understanding of what challenges consumers as end-users of mobile services and application create and how theorizing might improve the development and design of mobile services and applications. The emerging area of Consumer Information Systems brings up interesting problems that have not yet been studied. For example, traditional information systems development approaches focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational processes whereas design for consumer information systems may require an emphasis on hedonic value derived in the consumer experience. We see that the shift in focus from users to consumers calls for a significant re-appraisal of our current information systems development methods and the ways we design mobile services and applications.

We welcome papers that investigate different aspects of designing mobile services and applications for consumers with the preference of using Design Science Research as the research methodology for the studies.

Papers for this mini-track will be screened for invitation to submit to the special issue in JITTA: Journal of Information Technology Theory & Application – A Publication of the Association for Information Systems. *S**ee call for papers for the special issue* at http://www.jitta.org.
