Dear colleagues,

If you are in or in the neighborhood of Stockholm in June 2015, please consider participating in:

the 1st International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS development (STPIS'15)

The main purpose of the workshop is to arrange discussions on using a socio-technical perspective in IS development, the long term goal being to make this workshop a meeting place for the community of IS researchers and practitioners interested in the socio-technical approach.

The discussions will start with a keynote by Prof. Ian Sommerville on:
"Designing software for a million users: it’s not about the technology"

The workshop is attached to CAiSE'15 conference (http://caise2015.dsv.su.se/) and will be held on 9th June 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden

The deadline for early bird registration is 26 April. The details of the registration can be found at: http://caise2015.dsv.su.se/registration/ . You have several options: register for the 1-day workshop only (the less expensive one), or register for the whole conference +1 or 2 days of workshops/working conferences. Please, give the second alternative a thought: CAiSE 2015 have a good program of tutorials, kynotes and panels.
