Short description is presented below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over a 
half century, it is often forgotten in the Information Systems (IS) 
discourse today. Consequently, many “new approaches” appear to reflect 
on IS systems problems, such as modern IT systems poorly adjusted to the 
external or/and internal environment (e.g. market, organizational 
culture) of organizations in which they are (to be) deployed. We 
strongly believe that it is high time the social-technical perspective 
took its proper place in IS research, practice and teaching.

The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a 
socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long term goal being 
to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of IS 
researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

     Case studies using socio-technical approach
     Information system design using socio-technical approach
     Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption
     Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration of
     – health care systems
     – crisis management systems
     – information security management systems
     – learning systems
     – privacy enhanced technology
     Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective
     Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and adoption
     IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective
     Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of 
socio-technical systems

We invite submissions of short and long papers and multi-media materials 
in the following categories:

     Position papers
     Idea papers
     Experience reports
     Research papers
     Multi-media. Besides papers, we accept submissions in form of 
multi-media materials, for example, recorded video or animated 
presentation, describing industrial experience of using socio-technical 
perspective for IS analysis or development. In case of acceptance, an 
extended abstract is published in the workshop proceedings, while the 
multi-media material itself or a link to it is placed on the workshop site.
