[AISWorld] Call for SIG-CORE mini-tracks for AMCIS 2019

[Riemenschneider, Cindy]

SIG-CORE is sponsoring a track at AMCIS 2019 in Cancun, Mexico. We invite submissions for mini-track proposals, due October 19.

Human cognition deals with how we know and make decisions, through processes including reasoning, perception, and judgment. The future of the Information Systems discipline will continue to involve human cognition as systems are increasingly used to meet social and business needs in innovative settings. Understanding human cognition is a critical component to the successful design, implementation, and use of information systems. The questions of interest relevant to this track focus on IS problems in terms of the processes of knowing and making decisions. This track solicits research investigating the widest variety of cognition, including but not limited to: situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition; group and individual decision support systems; cognitive aspects of business analytics and intelligence; problem-solving; knowledge-sharing & -management; cognitive perspectives on IS design, use, and development; human-computer interaction or human factors; and research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS. We welcome qualitative, quantitative, experimental, and case study research and research-in-progress.

Potential mini-track topics could include, but are not limited to:
1. Exploring and investigating human cognitions surrounding emerging technologies. This mini-track could explore human cognitions regarding virtual/augmented reality, block chain, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, commercial drones, (big) data analytics and visualization tools, and other emerging technologies.
2. Our changing world - the impact of hand-held devices. This mini-track could explore the changes of traditional business processes, individual decision making, varying forms of human communication and collaboration, or changing economic structures in developing, emerging or third-world countries.
3. Team Cognitions - past, present, and future. This mini-track could explore the historical perspective of team cognitions, as well as current applications and practices, or future applications and projects on for team cognitions/communications and group decision making.


We invite the submission of minitrack proposals to the 25th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2019), which will be held on August 15-17, 2019 in Cancun, Mexico. AMCIS 2019 brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2019 theme: New Frontiers in Digital Convergence.

a) minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation);
b) minitrack title;
c) short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2019 website (up to 150 words);
