Call for Papers for the Group Support Systems minitrack in
the 34th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
(www.hicss.hawaii.edu)
The GSS minitrack will focus on the conceptual design,
implementation, use, and evaluation of GSS/CSCW in both
controlled and organizational settings. We are interested
in a wide variety of research topics and research
approaches, particularly those that are likely to promote
discussion.
These include, but are not limited to:
- Conceptual/theory development papers that are well
focused, logically argued, and have the potential to
change current practice;
- Experimental papers that are theoretically motivated, yet
whose findings have the potential to interest
practitioners;
- Field studies that develop new insight that has the
potential to change current practice or lead to new
theories; and
- System design and development papers that move beyond the
description of systems and their use to build new
concepts for the design and use of future
systems in organizational settings.
Empirical manuscripts motivated strictly by data collection
and analysis, or design and development manuscripts that
are purely descriptive, will have little chance of
acceptance. Authors are expected to describe theoretical or
conceptual issues that give meaning to data, or motivation
for a particular system design. Papers should show how
these concepts (i.e. prior theory and the current study or
design) are relevant to our evolving understanding in this
area. Finally, all papers should clearly answer the question
"What's interesting here?"
