Dear colleagues,
Below, find the 3rd (and last) call for STPIS'18 with deadline of 10
April 2018.
Poster submissions are accepted until 1st May
Please, consider visiting Tallinn, Estonia in June 2018 (quite a
nice place to visit) and participating in
4th International Workshop on Socio-Technical Perspective in IS
development (STPIS'18)
http://stpis2018.blogs.dsv.su.se/
planned for 12th of June 2018
Note: Selection of the best papers will be published in
journal CSIMQ
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.
Following the purpose, only part of the workshop is devoted to
presentations, the rest is designated for collaborative work. This
year we follow the practice established during STPI'17 and will be
working on a real case from the local industry. We are now
discussing a potential case with the local CAiSE'18 organizers. It
will be announced on our WEB site as soon as it becomes certain.

Short description is presented below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite that a socio-technical perspective has been around for over
a half century, it is often forgotten in the Information Systems
(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.
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.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Case studies using socio-technical approach
* Information system design using socio-technical approach
* Socio-technical comparative studies of technology/IS adoption
* Socio-technical analysis, design, development and integration
of
– health care systems
– crisis management systems
– information security management systems
– learning systems
– privacy enhanced technology
* Societal Security from a socio-technical perspective
* Ethnographic and Anthropological aspects of IS design and
adoption
* IT business alignment from a socio-technical perspective
* Using Viable System Model (VSM) for analysis and design of
socio-technical systems
We invite submissions of short and long papers and multi-media
materials in the following categories:
* Position papers
* Idea papers
* Experience reports
* Research papers
* Multi-media. Besides papers, we accept submissions in form of
multi-media materials, for example, recorded video or animated
presentation, describing industrial experience of using
socio-technical perspective for IS analysis or development. In case
of acceptance, an extended abstract is published in the workshop
proceedings, while the multi-media material itself or a link to it
is placed on the workshop site.
* Posters
