2nd Call for Papers

The First Annual Workshop on HCI Research in MIS (HCI/MIS '02)

Organized by AIS SIGHCI

Barcelona, Spain
December 14, 2002 (Pre-ICIS'02)


(Submission deadline: September 20, 2002)



Building on the high level of interest in HCI issues within the MIS field, as evidenced by the high submission rate in the HCI minitrack and the overwhelming participation in the HCI panel at AMCIS 2002, AIS SIGHCI is planning its first annual research workshop to be held prior to ICIS 2002 in Barcelona in December. 


Workshop Objectives: 

The objective of the workshop is to provide an open and constructive discussion forum of important HCI research in IS that addresses the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks -- especially in the business, managerial, organizational, and/or cultural contexts. HCI in MIS is concerned with the macro level of Human Computer Interaction analysis. The purpose of the workshop is to identify important HCI/MIS problems and innovative research approaches. The organizing committee is looking for research ideas and studies that identify important HCI problems in today's organizations and that attempt to resolve these problems by drawing upon theories and/or methodologies from all relevant disciplines. The workshop will include both invited presentations and peer-reviewed articles. It is expected that a HCI/MIS research agenda will be drafted from the workshop.


Submissions: 

Authors are encouraged to submit high quality research (completed or research in progress papers) for peer-reviewed presentations. We intend to keep the topics of interests open. Potential authors who want to gather some topical ideas can find sample topics from the AIS SIGHCI website and the HCI minitrack website (http://melody.syr.edu/hci). Since this is a workshop, we actively solicit papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a relatively early stage of development. Full papers are preferred, although extended abstracts of at least 2,500 words are acceptable, too. 

Submissions will be double-blind reviewed. Authors should agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested. Manuscripts can be in Acrobat .PDF or MS Word formats and be emailed as attachments to pzhang at syr.edu, copying to fnah at unlnotes.unl.edu and sidneydavis at mail.unomaha.edu with the subject line "HCI/MIS workshop submission." Authors can use the body of the email as the cover letter for the submission and should ensure that their identities do not appear in any part of the manuscript. 


Publication: 

Best papers and presentations will be fast tracked for possible publication in JAIS (Journal of the Association for Information Systems, http://jais.isworld.org). At the time of submitting to JAIS, these papers must be full papers, not extended abstracts.
