[AISWorld] Call for Papers - IS Design Research Mini-track at HICSS-47

[Joseph Walls]

Dear Colleague,

We invite you to submit a paper to the 47th 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.

We hope to see you in Hawaii in January 2014!

ADVANCES IN DESIGN RESEARCH FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS

This mini-track provides a venue for IS design researchers to share
their work and interact with likeminded scholars. Design research may
be viewed as having three major subfields.

1. Design theory research focuses on the development of theories about
creating new or improved information systems based on kernel theories.
The IS design theory concept was first articulated two decades ago
(Walls, et al, 1992) and continues to be developed (Jones and Gregor,
2007). Research reported at the annual Design Science Research in
Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST) conference proceedings
illustrates work that 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), HICSS-45 (e.g., Lee, et al, 2011), and HICSS-46
(Lu and Käkölä, 2013).

2. Design science research focuses on creating “new-to-the-world” IS
artifacts (Hevner, et al, 2004).

3. Science of design research involves the study of how designers
actually conduct design activities.

We welcome papers from any of the above subfields.

HICSS-47 CALL FOR PAPERS

Hilton Waikoloa, Big Island
January 6-9, 2014 (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, 2013 on the
conference web site.
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.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; so initial
submission must be without author names.
• 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) for determination, and/or seek informal opinion(s) of
Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting. – see names and contact
information below.
• 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 2013 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

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.
