We are Happy to Announce the Publication of
Volume 6 Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
(http://thci.aisnet.org)
As those around me celebrate yesterday's dusting off what we hope was the last snow here in the northeast USA, another reason to be as "Happy" as Pharrell Williams (in his catchy and uplifting song by the same title) is the first issue of our 6th year of publishing AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction. We are Happy to present the new issue now available on the AIS e-library site (at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/vol6/iss1/1/.
We have two other reasons to dance around as vigorously as the people of all ages, shapes, and styles in the song's video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM&feature=kp.
The first is that we are Happy to welcome a new Senior Editor: Jason Thatcher from Clemson University has agreed to step up to the SE board. Welcome, Jason, and we look forward to enjoying many more years of his conscientious and supportive editorial assistance to the journal.
The second is that we are Happy to announce the THCI Best Reviewers of 2012: Fahri Yetim and Heshan Sun. Heshan is a second-time recipient of a THCI best reviewer award, and we thank him for his dedication and effort that supports THCI.
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci. To increase awareness and readership, THCI is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website,<http://aisel.aisnet.org/> including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS<http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. And actually, as always, we are Happy to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 21 issues. "Clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do!"

In this issue
============
This issue has a research article by Nathan Stout, Alan R. Dennis, and Taylor M. Wells:
"The Buck Stops There: The Impact of Perceived Accountability and Control on the Intention to Delegate to Software Agents"
Because software agents are becoming abundant, it is remarkable that little research has investigated behavioral antecedents to user intentions to delegate tasks to a software agent. Theoretical support from Agency Theory is used in formulating three hypotheses, two of which were supported by their data.
Here is the abstract:
Software agents with the ability to recommend actions, aid decision-making, and actually make decisions are becoming increasingly common. In many situations, users now choose whether or not to delegate tasks to these agents. While some research has examined software agents, relatively little is known about the factors that influence the intention to delegate decisions to them. An experiment was used to examine the influence of perceived accountability, extent of control, and trust in the agent on the intention to delegate a travel arrangement decision. Users were more likely to delegate to agents that gave them greater control by requiring them to approve the agent's recommendation before the decision was completed than to agents that performed the task autonomously without intervention after it was delegated. Contrary to expectations, intention to delegate increased as perceived accountability increased. Participants may perceive delegation as a means to shift blame from themselves to the agent and thus mitigate risk resulting from potential negative decision outcomes.

Call for Papers
==================
THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.
Topics of interest to THCI include but are not limited to the following:
* The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction
* User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types
* Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization
* Social media; social computing; virtual communities
* Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction
* User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains
* Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems
* Information systems usability engineering; universal usability
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning
* Gender and information technology
* The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction
* Issues in HCI education
The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGHCI, http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/) is the official sponsor for THCI.
