[AISWorld] Deadline Extension for PhD Student Research Proposals - SIG Cognitive Research (Formerly IS-CoRE) Workshop

[Lionel Robert]

Due to several requests, we have extended the submission deadline for the
SIG IS-CoRE Doctoral Research Roundtable to October 21, 2012.



Doctoral Research Roundtable

The Tenth Annual SIG Cognitive Research Workshop

(Formerly IS-CoRE)

Sunday, December 16, 2012 (Pre-ICIS)

Orlando, Florida



CALL FOR PAPERS



Extended Submission Deadline: October 21, 2012



The organizing committee for the SIG Cognitive Research Workshop invites
doctoral students to submit research proposals for its Tenth Annual
meeting. Like other papers in the workshop, proposals should address human
cognition (i.e., how we know things, through processes such as reasoning,
perception, and judgment) in an IS context. Doctoral research proposals
will be discussed in a special portion of the workshop, the format of which
will depend on the number of proposals accepted. Discussions are expected
to be open and constructive, in a spirit of collegial community-building. A
discounted rate for attendance will be extended to these students.



*SIG Cognitive Research* is intended to represent and support researchers
in information systems who view understanding human cognition as a critical
component to the successful design and implementation of information
systems. Accordingly, doctoral research proposals should address IS
research questions using theories and methods from the cognitive and
psychological sciences. There is a wide range of diverse topics from which
these questions can come. These include, but are not limited to:



* Situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition

* Cognition in Virtual Worlds

* Collaborative work

* Group and individual decision support systems

* Group and individual group problem-finding, problem-solving

* Cognitive perspectives on human or computer-mediated knowledge-sharing

* Cognitive perspectives on decision processes

* Cognitive perspectives on knowledge management

* Cognitive perspectives on the design or use of information systems

* Cognitive processes of programmers/systems developers

* Cognitive aspects of learning and innovation

* Creativity and creative cognition

* Design of user learning and training interventions

* Human factors in information environments

* Human-computer interaction or human factors perspectives involving
cognition or perception

* Research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS



Authors of accepted proposals will be notified of the format decision in
their acceptance letters. Regardless of format, doctoral students will
receive feedback from IS-CoRE members and workshop attendees. In prior
years, students have found this portion of the workshop to be very helpful.



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Doctoral students should limit their proposals to about 5,000 words,
including tables, figures, and references. Proposals must also include an
abstract not exceeding 300 words. Papers are to be submitted electronically
to rotondo at cobilan.msstate.edu with the subject line "CORE Submission-PhD
Proposal".



Before submitting manuscripts, please format papers so that:
(1) the first page contains only the paper title, the subtitle “Doctoral
Student Research Proposal,” author names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses
(2) the second page contains only the paper title, the subtitle “Doctoral
Student Research Proposal,” and abstract, but no author names
(3) identifying information is removed from the file properties
(4) all comments are removed and changes are accepted (if necessary)



Papers may be submitted in Word, WordPerfect, or Acrobat formats. If
submitting in Acrobat, please submit the title page with author information
separately.



WORKSHOP FORMAT

For more information about the workshop and IS-CoRE, please see our Web
site at http://www.ou.edu/is-core/.



EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers and to help authors
publish their papers in top academic journals. In order to prevent
copyright issues for subsequent publication, doctoral students can, if they
wish, submit an extended abstract which will be distributed at the workshop
and made available on the SIG website. The purpose of this extended
abstract is to highlight key aspects of the proposal presented for
discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis of the theoretical
background. Depending on the student’s progress, the abstract can also
include proposed methods and findings. The extended abstract should not
exceed 2 pages of single-spaced text including any tables, figures and
references.



IMPORTANT DATES

Extended submission deadline:  October 21, 2012
Acceptance notification:  November 12, 2012
Submission of extended abstracts for program:  November 25, 2012
Workshop:  Sunday, December 16, 2012
