STPIS'22 - Call for Papers

Please consider submitting to STPIS in Iceland. 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.

     *   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<http://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.
