By connecting a growing<br>number of systems and data, Information Infrastructures support user<br>work in everyday life, but also bring about increased organizational<br>and technological complexity. As IIs permeate an increasingly broad<br>range of social and institutional contexts, they generate both new<br>kinds of challenges for information systems development, and new<br>social, organizational and market forms as foci for social study.<br>The workshop will bring together researchers to share empirical<br>studies, analytical approaches and methodological concerns in the<br>understanding of Information Infrastructures innovation, and to<br>explore what the future holds for research in this area.<br><br><br><br>Registration<br>------------<br>Please visit: <a href="http://iiied2012.wordpress.com/registration">http://iiied2012.wordpress.com/registration</a><br><br><br><br>Keynote Speakers<br>----------------<br>Steve Sawyer Geoff Walsham<br>Syracuse University University of Cambridge<br><br>Eric Monteiro David Ribes<br>NTNU Georgetown University<br><br>Marina Jirotka Neil Pollock<br>Oxford University Edinburgh University<br><br><br><br>Programme<br>---------<br>Split over 3 days, the workshop will consider 24 selected<br>papers, along with 5 keynote presentations and a panel discussion.<br>On the final day we will host an advanced doctoral training<br>session considering methodological issues relevant to early s<br>tage researchers, but potentially of interest to all.<br><br>Please see the website for full details of the papers and speakers.<br><br>Day 1 - Registration, Keynotes, Sessions, Reception<br>Day 2 - Keynotes, Sessions, Panel, Dinner<br>Day 3 - Keynotes, Sessions, Advanced Doctoral Training<br><br>Selected papers will appear in a forthcoming JAIS special edition.<br><br><br><br>Funding for doctoral students to participate<br>--------------------------------------------<br>Free workshop places are available for PhD students from ESRC Doctoral<br>Training Centres to attend this international research workshop and<br>benefit from advanced research training.
