Scope:

Cognitive aspects of information systems engineering is an area that is gaining interest and importance in industry and research. In recent years, human aspects and specifically cognitive aspects in software engineering and information systems engineering have received increasing attention in literature and conferences, acknowledging that these aspects are as important as the technical ones, which have traditionally been in the center of attention.  The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding and more appropriate support of the cognitive processes and challenges practitioners experience when performing information systems development activities. Understanding the challenges and needs, educational programs as well as development supporting tools and notations may be enhanced for a better fit to our natural cognition, leading to better performance of engineers and higher systems’ quality. 

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: 

Identification of cognitive challenges in IS development:
- Cognitive processes involved in IS development
- Cognitive difficulties and challenges in IS development 
- Collaborative/distributed cognition in teamwork
- Social, managerial and cultural effects on individual cognition-related characteristics of different development methods, notations and paradigms.

Proposed solutions for supporting cognitive processes in IS development: 
- Development practices 
- Development supporting tools
- Visual models 
- Designated knowledge management solutions 
- Solutions based on gamification or serious games 

Educational aspects of IS development:
- Learning processes in IS development 
- Education programs, methods and tools 
- Teaching cases

Workshop Organizers:
Irit Hadar, University of Haifa, Israel, hadari at is.haifa.ac.il 
Barbara Weber, DTU, Denmark and Universität Innsbruck, Austria, Barbara.Weber at uibk.ac.at

Paper submission:
Manuscripts should be submitted to the workshop in PDF format via the EasyChair system available in the workshop website.
Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality and technical quality. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. The submission should emphasize the discussion of aspects relevant to the workshop.
