Track "Design Research and Methods in Information Systems"

## Track Description ##

 

Interacting with information technology (IT) has become a pervasive
element in private, organisational, and societal contexts. Within an
increasingly digitised and rapidly transforming world, humans need to
constantly adjust to the latest technological developments while taking
into account the emerging political, economic, and health circumstances.
Similarly, system engineers need to consider the design, implementation,
and evaluation of novel artefacts in highly competitive and dynamic
environments. Especially the consideration of human values, such as
diversity, equity, fairness, and inclusion have gained increasing
importance in the design process and the resulting computing artefacts.
The interdisciplinary area of design research in Information Systems (IS)
is concerned with informing the design of IT artefacts by establishing and
applying (design) theories, exploring and testing models with rigorous
research, providing design guidelines, as well as designing and evaluating
IT artefacts. 

 

The aim of this track is to stimulate research that extends the scientific
knowledge base for design research in IS in general and for a digitally
united society in particular. We seek research that produces design
knowledge about IT artefacts for addressing real-world problems,
methodological contributions for the design of such systems, and research
addressing the implications of specific design elements of IS. We welcome
a diversity of submissions focusing on designing, developing, and
evaluating IT artefacts, adding to the theoretical and methodological
knowledge base and exploring tool support for design science research. 

 

## Suggested Topics ##

- Behaviour design, gamification, and persuasive systems

- Conversational interfaces, chatbots, and digital assistants

- Design processes, principles and evaluation of design, modularity in
design in information systems, and theorizing in design science research

- Design science and cross-disciplinary research

- Emerging methods and tools for design science research

- Ethics and legal aspects in design science research

- Considering emotion, flow, and technostress in information systems
design

- Using NeuroIS methods and tools for the design of neuroadaptive systems
and interfaces

- Participatory design and human-centred design of information systems

- Usability and user experience (UX) engineering

 

 

## Publishing Opportunities in IS Transaction on Human-Computer
Interaction (THCI) ##

High quality and relevant papers from this track will be considered for
selection for fast-tracked development towards publication in AIS
Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci).
Selected papers will need to expand in content and length in line with the
requirements for standard research articles published in the journal.
Although the track co-chairs are committed to guiding the selected papers
towards final publication, further reviews may be needed before a final
publication decision can be made. 

 

AIS Transaction on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI) is a high-quality
peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer
Interaction. THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community,
emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organisational, and
cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that
share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues.
