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
