<p class="MsoNormal">The UKAIS 2013 ‘Social Information Systems’ Conference (<a href="http://www.ukais.org.uk/conference/conference2013/">http://www.ukais.org.uk/conference/conference2013/</a> ) will be taking place on 19-20<sup>th</sup> March 2013 at Worcester
College, Oxford. Please find attached a conference poster outlining the important submission details and confirmed keynote speakers. You can also find the information below:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>SOCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS <o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The bulk of IS research tends to be carried out in commercial organizations, yet "IT in use" is just as important in governmental, third sector and community organizations. IT is
needed to improve efficiency but it also enables the creation of new services, and modes of work and interaction, based for instance on digital innovations and social media. There are inspiring examples of innovative design, but there are spectacular failures
too, especially of large scale projects, from which lessons can be learned (although often not).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The challenges in designing systems are arguably greater in the social than the commercial sphere, given the complexity of relational work involving people. Resources are also limited
compared to private business, meaning collaborative work with academe is especially important, to help build much-needed capacity and deliver creative and sustainable solutions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The aim of this Conference is to promote research in the social sphere, in health, social care, local and central government, community informatics and beyond. All forms of relevant
research will be welcome, especially of collaborative ventures, whether successful or not.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We are seeking to widen the community of engagement and would like to hear from social and information scientists, digital and new social media researchers, systems thinkers, software
engineers, as well as those already committed to the disciplinary area of Information Systems. To encourage further engagement, we have secured the opportunity for the best conference papers to be considered for a number of high quality journals, which includes
the European Journal of Information Systems and the International Journal of Information Management.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The UKAIS conference is the premier academic event in the Information Systems calendar within the UK, and attracts leading scholars from the UK and overseas. The Academy was established
in 1994 by leading UK academics in Information Systems. It is a charity, whose aims are to enhance the recognition and knowledge of IS within the UK, and to provide a forum for discussing issues in IS teaching and research. UKAIS continues to recognise the
importance of including practitioners in its work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This year's conference will once again be held in the beautiful city of Oxford, and will be situated in Worcester College, one of Oxford University’s most beautiful colleges.
