[AISWorld] CFP: Cognitive Research in IS Track at AMCIS 2022

[Jia Shen]

Dear Fellow Researchers,

We kindly encourage you to submit your completed research and Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers to the “Cognitive Research in IS” track at AMCIS 2022, which will take place in Minneapolis between the 10th and 14th of August, 2022. Below is more information about our track and mini-tracks:

Cognitive Research in IS – Track Description:
Human cognition deals with how we know and make decisions, through processes including reasoning, perception, and judgment. The future of the Information Systems discipline will continue to involve human cognition as systems are increasingly used to meet social and business needs in innovative settings. Understanding human cognition is a critical component to the successful design, implementation, and use of information systems. The questions of interest relevant to this track focus on IS problems in terms of the processes of knowing and making decisions. This track solicits research investigating the widest variety of cognition, including but not limited to: situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition; group and individual decision support systems; cognitive aspects of business analytics and intelligence; problem-solving; knowledge-sharing & -management; cognitive perspectives on IS design, use, and development; human-computer interaction or human factors; and research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS. We welcome qualitative, quantitative, experimental, and case study research and research-in-progress.

Minitrack 1: Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) in Information Systems

Dr. Sangseok You (sangyou at skku.edu <mailto:sangyou at skku.edu>)
Dr. Lionel Robert (lprobert at umich.edu <mailto:lprobert at umich.edu>)

This mini-track aims to enhance our understanding of human-robot interaction (HRI) in an emerging area in Information Systems. This mini-track seeks to solicit submissions from various topics on the cognitive and behavioral aspects of interactions with robots and artificial intelligence (AI) and their corresponding outcomes. This includes empirical studies and conceptual frameworks that theoretically advance our knowledge of the topic.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Promoting the performance of individuals, teams, and organizations working with robots
• Adoption and appropriation of robots
• Empirical studies examining cognitive, psychological, emotional, and social aspects in human-robot collaboration
• Theoretical frameworks for human-robot interaction
• Case studies on human-robot interaction
• Design implications for robots in the workplace and home
• Work practices which focused on human-robot collaboration
• New methodological approaches to studying human-robot interactions

Minitrack 2: Cognitive decision making and collaboration

Dr. Jerry Fjermestad (jerry at njit.edu <mailto:jerry at njit.edu>)
Dr. Julie Ancis (julieancis at gmail.com <mailto:julieancis at gmail.com>)
Dr. Stephan Kudyba (stephan.p.kudyba at njit.edu <mailto:stephan.p.kudyba at njit.edu>)

Cognition is the interaction of technology, human behavior, and cognitive processes guided by the constructs of psychology and cognitive science. Technology includes internet applications, artificial intelligence, and virtual environments. The cognitive aspects involve human behavior and the cognitive internal sensory and memory processes which lead to decision making and collaboration.

The purpose of this min-track is to provide a forum for theoretical developments, empirical research findings, case studies, methodologies, artifacts, and other high-quality manuscripts. We seek to address important questions arising from emerging developments in cognitive research, such as: cognitive aspects of business analytics, collaboration in virtual environments, AI effects on sensory and memory applications, cognitive aspects of shared memory and collective intelligence, the interaction of social perception on performance, communication patterns of cognition, and leadership cognition.

Minitrack 3: Human-Centered IS Design

Dr. Luca Iandoli (iandolil at stjohns.edu <mailto:iandolil at stjohns.edu>)
Dr. Ivana Quinto (ivana.quinto at unina.it <mailto:ivana.quinto at unina.it>)

As our professional and personal lives become more virtual, our well-being increasingly depends on the design of the digital tools we use to work and connect and on their ability to help us to contrast Information overload and increase the quality of the Information we consume.

The design of IS systems has traditionally prioritized functional or marketing objectives while neglecting users’ well-being and ethical concerns. This track explores alternative, truly human-centered approaches to IS design that focus on the improvement of individual and social well-being and on making our interaction with digital technologies more meaningful, purposeful, and sustainable.

This mini-track offers a venue for high-quality research that contributes to the the development of theories, approaches and methods able to support human-centered IS design. Papers that theoretically and/or empirically focuses on the application of Design Thinking, Positive Design, Design Science, and Aesthetics to the development of IS systems are particularly welcome.
