Dear colleagues,

The 5th International Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of Information Systems Engineering – COGNISE’17 

will take place in conjunction with CAiSE’17

13 June 2017, Essen, Germany 

http://is-lin.hevra.haifa.ac.il/cognise/2017/ 


Important Dates:

Abstract submission: 24th February 2017

Paper submission deadline: 3rd March 2017 

Notification of acceptance: 3rd April 2017 

Camera ready: 10th April 2017 

Workshop day: 13th June 2017

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 that are relevant to the workshop includes, but is not limited to:

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

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

Forming new thinking paradigms in the era of immersive and wearable technologies: 
o Existing and future challenges of IS designers in understanding users' cognitive needs when interacting with virtual/augmented reality and/or wearables o Cognitive challenges induced by shifting to the IS architecture and design approaches for these technologies o Using immersive technologies for supporting cognitive processes in IS development

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

Workshop Organizers:
Irit Hadar, University of Haifa, Israel, hadari at is.haifa.ac.il Irene Vanderfeesten, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, I.T.P.Vanderfeesten at tue.nl Barbara Weber, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark, bweb at dtu.dk 

Paper submission:
Manuscripts should be submitted to the workshop in PDF format via the EasyChair system available at 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.
