Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
The deadline for submissions to the 1st International Workshop on <b>Socio-Technical
Perspective in IS development</b> (STPIS'15) has been extended to
30 Mars 2015<br>
<br>
The main <b><i>purpose </i></b>of the workshop is to arrange <b><i>discussions
</i></b>on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development,
the long term goal being to make this workshop a<i> <b>meeting
place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners</b></i>
interested in the socio-technical approach.<br>
<br>
The discussions will start with a keynote by Prof. Ian Sommerville
on:<br>
"<i><b>Designing software for a million users: it’s not about the
technology</b></i>"<br>
<br>
The workshop is attached to CAiSE'15 conference (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://caise2015.dsv.su.se/">http://caise2015.dsv.su.se/</a>)
and will be held on 9th June 2015<br>

Short description is presented below<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
1. Case studies using socio-technical approach<br>
2. Information system design using socio-technical approach<br>
3. Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption<br>
4. Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration
of<br>
– health care systems<br>
– crisis management systems<br>
– information security management systems<br>
– learning systems<br>
– privacy enhanced technology<br>
5. Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective<br>
6. Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and
adoption<br>
7. IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective<br>
8. Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of
socio-technical systems<br>
<br>
We invite submissions of short and long papers and multi-media
materials in the following categories:<br>
<br>
Position papers <br>
Idea papers <br>
Experience reports <br>
Research papers<br>
Multi-media. Besides papers, we accept submissions in form of
multi-media materials, for example, recorded video or animated
presentation, describing industrial experience of using
socio-technical perspective for IS analysis or development. In case
of acceptance, an extended abstract is published in the workshop
proceedings, while the multi-media material itself or a link to it
is placed on the workshop site.<br>
