[AISWorld] Design Research Mini-track - HICCS 46 Call for Papers

[Walls, Joseph]

Dear Colleague,

We invite you to submit a paper to the 46th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) mini-track “Advances in Design Research for Information Systems”.

Below is a description of the mini-track as well as the call for papers for the HICSS conference. Please circulate this information to other researchers potentially interested in advancing design research. Additional information about the conference can be found at the website below.

ADVANCES IN DESIGN RESEARCH FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS

This mini-track provides a venue for information systems (IS) design researchers to share their work and interact with likeminded scholars. IS design research has three interrelated sub-fields. One of these is design theory research, which focuses on the development of theories for creating new or improved IS. The IS design theory concept was first articulated two decades ago (Walls, et al 1992, Walls, et al 2004, Jones and Gregor, 2007). Research reported at the annual Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) conference proceedings shows that work continues in this area (Gurzick and Lutters, 2009). Design theory papers have also been published in the ICIS Proceedings (e.g., Sarnikar and Deokar, 2009) and at HICSS-44 (e.g., Zhang, et al, 2011) and HICSS-45 (e.g., Lee, et al, 2011).  A second sub-field is design science research, which focuses on creating “new-to-the-world” IS artifacts (Hevner, et al, 2004).  Finally science of design research is the study of how designers actually do design. We welcome excellent papers that develop and expand on research in any of these areas.

HICSS-46 CALL FOR PAPERS
Grand Wailea Maui
January 7-10, 2013 (Monday-Thursday)

HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library.

How to Submit a Paper:  Follow Author Instructions to be posted by February 1, 2012 on the conference web site.

http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_46/apahome46.htm

HICSS papers must contain original material.  They may not have been previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere.  All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process.
Abstracts are optional, but strongly recommended. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or verification of content.

Submit a paper to only one Minitrack.  If a paper is submitted to more than one minitrack, then either paper may be rejected by either minitrack without consultation with author or other chairs. If you are not sure of the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) – see names and contact information below for determination, and/or seek informal opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting.

Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers.  This means that an individual may be listed as author or co-author on no more than 5 submitted papers.  Track Chairs must approve any names added after submission or acceptance on August 15.

Important 2012 Deadlines for Authors

June 15     Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed. The review is double-blind; therefore, this initial submission must be without author names.

Aug 15     Review System emails Acceptance Notices to authors. It is very important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or your organization’s fiscal funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make sure your server accepts the review system address
https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.

Sept 15     SUBMIT FINAL PAPER.  Add author names to your paper, and submit your Final Paper for Publication to the site provided in your Acceptance Notice.  (This URL is not public knowledge.)
Oct 1     Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of each paper should register by this date in order secure publication in the Proceedings.  Fees will increase on Oct 2 and Dec 2.

Oct 15     Papers without at least one paid-in-full registered author may be deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled for presentation; authors will be so notified by the Conference Office.

Cancellation and Refund Policy   All conference cancellation requests must be in writing.  A fee will be charged for cancellation of registration after Oct 15, at which time the paper is subject to withdrawal from the Proceedings.  There is no registration refund after Dec 1.  Cancellations for accommodations must be handled directly with the hotel.
