CFP:  SIGPrag 2011 at ICIS in Shanghai 

Get Pragmatic – Get Connected! 


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 followed by events at Phoenix at ICIS 2009 in Phoenix and ICIS
2010 in St. Louis at ICIS 2010. 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 2011 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 2011 in
Shanghai, China. Those interested should submit their paper through the
Sprouts review system by September 1st, 2011. Proceedings will be
published through Sprouts. Submissions should follow the format of the
ICIS template (see http://icis2011.aisnet.org/).  

The format of SIGPrag 2011 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 Shanghai as means to provide as much as
possible actionable advice to increase the success of the subsequent
journal submission. Submitting a paper also incurs an obligation to
serve as discussant of another paper at the workshop if one’s own paper
is accepted. 

SIGPrag 2011 will be co-organized with the development workshop for the
MISQ Special Issue: Information Systems for Symbolic Action - Social
Media and Beyond. For those interested in submitting to the
developmental workshop for this MISQ Special Issue please refer to the
CFP at http://www.sigprag.org/.
