From simonsen at ruc.dk Thu May 12 13:51:11 2022 From: simonsen at ruc.dk (Jesper Simonsen) Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 17:51:11 +0000 Subject: [IRIS] NEW DATES: The eighth PhD seminar, Designing Human Technologies 8.0 Message-ID: The eighth PhD seminar, Designing Human Technologies 8.0, will this year be held in Estonia (location to be determined) October 3-5, 2022, organised by Tallinn University in collaboration with Roskilde University, University of Trento, and IT University of Copenhagen Use this seminar to meet and network with fellow PhD-students and researchers broadly positioned within the field of designing human technologies and Participatory Design. Description and call is available online here: https://hci.tlu.ee/dht2022/ We meet to discuss our experiences in relation to doctoral work in the rich and diverse field of designing human technologies. The course is a blend of lectures and discussions in small groups. Invited lectures by senior academic staff present key theories, methodological reflections and novel approaches within the field. Discussions will take place in groups with of five doctoral students and two faculty members, discussing the position papers of the students. Group discussions will dedicate one hour to each position paper. And in addition, the course provides opportunities for networking with other doctoral students and senior faculty in the field of designing human technologies, thereby enriching relations among those who also attended last year?s course and providing an entry point for those who did not. Designing Human Technologies is a broad (participatory) design-oriented research approach with a central human principle of participation and ethical concerns. Common goals of research activities in this field include being constructive and solution-oriented in close dialogue with citizens and users. Deep analysis of how designs are used and enter the daily life of their users as well as innovative design solutions are the core of this course. The human principle includes involving users and main interest groups in the design and evaluation of the ability of design artefacts to meet the goals. Technology is understood in a broad sense including information and communication technologies, sustainable environmental technologies, energy technologies, and technologies for design in urban, nature, or other spatial settings.

Background to Minitrack The strategic role of data as an essential raw material for social and economic activities gives rise to new opportunities and challenges for organizing and innovating. Organizations are encouraged to transform and adopt data strategies that enhance their competitiveness. However, detailed insights and guidance remain scarce on how to approach this transformation and what the effects are on, e.g., privacy issues, stakeholder trust, business models, frameworks, public policy, and governance structures. Although data has become a strategic resource for many organizations, many large-scale data exchanges initiatives fail for a vast host of reasons. For example, datasets are increasingly exchanged among organizations, but the possible uses of the data are less predictable. Furthermore, in processing and extracting value from data, organizations confront a landscape of complex socio-political considerations when exchanging sensitive data. Such issues open new forms of governance, risks, privacy issues, business models, and information systems designs as organizations adapt to the data economy. Hence, potential topics that this minitrack will address are (but are not limited to): * How do the distinct characteristics of data re-shape our thinking of platform evolution? * What new types of privacy-enhancing business models emerge from the data-driven economy? * How can data platforms and novel launch strategies be used for data-driven business models? * How can data platforms ignite new forms of private-public partnerships? * How can data platforms be governed to promote privacy? * How can stakeholders in a data ecosystem trust reliability and authenticity of the datasets? * What new tensions emerge as organizations re-orient and transform to the data economy? We welcome both theoretical and empirical papers that advance our understanding of the new forms of organizing following the data economy. We call for papers that advance our understanding of the distinct nature of data and its impacts on privacy, business models, and governance of platforms through quantitative, qualitative, or mixed research approaches.

The key drivers in this area of research are the multiplying technological opportunities for digital services, such as ubiquitous connectivity, artificial intelligence, wearable devices, cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual/augmented reality, web3, and so on. The minitrack provides a discussion forum for researchers interested theoretical and practical problems related to such services. In a broad sense, digital services can be defined as systems that enable value co-creation and limit value co-destruction through the development and implementation of ICT enabled processes that integrate system value propositions with customer value drivers. Such services meld the worlds of bits and atoms and promise to transform many sectors like the media industries before them. They draw on different technologies such as sensors, real-time analytics of data, augmented and virtual realities, computer hardware, software, and human and system actors. Such technologies form a service platform where different actors [8] assemble the service together, in sit. As a result, the embedded systems of today and the Internet-of-things of tomorrow are the precursors for the upcoming era of cybernized services. Examples of such services are, e.g., biomedical and healthcare systems such as telerobotic surgery, (semi)autonomous vehicles and intelligent highways, augmented human capabilities with body net sensors and virtual reality, and intelligent machines. Furthermore, there are substantial opportunities for ICT and digitalization driven service innovation in industrial and business-to-business settings. These opportunities exist particularly in manufacturing in which innovation activities increase the digitization of products and production processes. We see that the global awareness of the power of the manufacturing industry will be linked to horizontal cyber-physical systems that enable value co-creation and co-destruction in the networked business environment. The cyber-aspects of such systems are ICT infrastructure, computer hardware, software, and different kind of sensors and actors. These components turn cyber-physical systems into platforms for designing and operating service. The data on products and processes gained through networked cybernized services and the ability to act on this data through control systems and actors enables novel ways of co-creating service in industrial contexts. This emerging area of research raises interesting questions. For example, traditional development approaches focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational processes. The design of such services may, however, require an emphasis on the socio-psychological aspects, such as the value-in-use and user/consumer/co-creator experiences. Digital services create novel ways of engaging customers and other actors in service ecosystems, raising the question of effective patterns of such digital actor engagement. Moreover, digital services facilitate data-driven and analytics-based service design and development, particularly if the service is linked to the physical world through sensors and/or people?s interactions. Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to): Digital and ICT enabled services, industrial services, mobile services, and consumer information services and systems: ? Discovery, fuzzy-front end, and innovation processes ? Continuous and experimental service design, and development processes and methodologies ? Analytics supported service design and development ? Design and evaluation of novel digital services ? Service ecosystems, platforms and novel architectures ? Consumer and enterprise user aspects, novel forms of actor engagement ?

DSR is a prominent form of engaged scholarship, which combines inquiry with a potential for action and intervention. DSR may be viewed as having three related subfields, from which we welcome submissions: ? Science of design, which focuses on creating ?new-to-the-world? artifacts. We try to provide an outlet for researchers doing novel artifact driven research in information systems, but also in other fields such as industrial engineering or service design. ? Design theory studies, which focus on the development of theories and design principles concerned with creating new or improved systems based on kernel or grand theories. ? Design Research, which focuses on the study of how designers conduct design activities, e.g., science of design research. Papers in this subfield could potentially come not only from IS, but also from architecture and design studies. All three subfields are often (but not always) tightly engaged with design practice. Accordingly, they frequently embody participative forms of research that rest on the advice and perspectives of multiple stakeholders in understanding a complex social problem. While specific interest is placed upon DSR and design theorizing with respect to the three subfields described above, the minitrack welcomes submissions from the entire range of alternatives that deal with the question of integrating inquiry with the potential of creating and shaping alternative futures. Such work extends the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by theorizing and/or creating new and innovative artifacts. The building and application of these designed artifacts produces knowledge and understanding of a problem domain and its solutions, which is then potentially transferable to other domains. In design science, the engagement is primarily focused on the design and evaluation of an artifact; learning through building with the aim to generate theoretical insights. This is often an iterative research process and sometimes capitalizes on learning via both researcher and subject expertise within the context of the participants' social system. It can be a clinical method that puts IS researchers in an active supporting role for advanced practice. To this end we also seek implementable and grounded action frames for engaging in such generalizable inquiries. Accordingly, the scope of this mini track includes research contributions that arise from all three subfields of DSR described above. This includes engaged approaches, studies of the practical use of DSR approaches, the use of such approaches to expand theory, and conceptual foundations that significantly and cogently expand our understanding of the epistemology and methodology of such approaches and their philosophical underpinnings. These include: ? Developing design artifacts and design theories ? Evaluating and testing design artifacts and design theories ? Different approaches to the design of artifacts and design theorizing ? Design as a creative act in development for systems etc. ? Advancing theory and practice in designing for systems etc ? Design experiences in organizational systems and technology etc. ? Concrete design projects and their outcomes The paper submission deadline is June 15, 2021.

We have just extended the deadline from 1st of June to the 15th of June 2022 and hope that you consider submitting your work to the 8th International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS development (STPIS?22) ? to be held 19th ? 21st of August 2022. This year, the STPIS will take place in Reykjavik in Iceland: https://stpis.org/call-for-papers and it will also be in hybrid format. We have two special issues in connection to the conference, one in Journal of Workplace Learning with a specific focus on Digital Work, and another one in the journal Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly. Important dates * Submission deadline: 15th of June 2022 * Author notification: 10th of July 2022 * Camera ready deadline: 5. August 2022 * Workshop dates: 19. ? 21. August 2022 All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE)(UTC -12). Overall theme A socio-technical perspective sees an organization as a combination of two components ? a social and a technical one. The real pattern of behaviour in the organization is determined by how well these parts fit each other. While analyzing system problems of getting things done, adequate consideration should be given to technology as well as informal and formal interactions f people. Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over a half century, it is often forgotten in the 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. ________________________________ * You are invited to submit a short or long paper in the categories mentioned below by 15th of June, these submissions will be peer-reviewed. * Authors are required to register and participate in the conference discussions and to present their paper * Accepted papers and reports, that have been presented in the conference, will be published in the conference proceedings (see more info at www.stpis.org) * Selected papers will be invited to be extended and submitted to the two special issues. ________________________________ We invite submissions of short papers (5-9 pages, excluding references) or long papers (10-20 pages, excluding references) in the following categories: * Full research papers: reporting original research results in the area addressed by the workshop. You should report original and finished research, which is based on solid research questions or hypothesis. * Work-in-progress papers: provide an opportunity to present early ideas and receive feedback on research-in-progress. You should describe original, but unfinished research, which should be based on solid research questions or hypothesis. * Position papers: raising relevant questions in the workshop area, identifying problems, and providing a glimpse of solution for a given problem and these papers are typically short. Representing a basis for discussion, a position paper does not necessarily need to include solutions to its stated problems. * Idea papers: exploring the history, successes, and challenges of IS development from a socio-technical perspective. Contrary to position papers, idea papers should provide the in-depth analysis of a problem, review its existing solutions, demonstrate insufficiency of these solutions, and suggest new (not yet evaluated but well argued) solutions. * Experience reports: presenting challenges encountered in practice, success, and failure stories. An experience report should clearly describe the working context and be focused on the problems and on the lessons learned.
