MIS is a community of scholars interested in the development, use, and impact of information technology and systems in broadly defined social and organizational settings. MIS has seen a steady shift from what was a techno-centric focus to a better balanced technology/ organizational/ management/social focus (Baskerville and Myers, 2002). User attitudes, perceptions, acceptance and use of IT have been long-standing issues and comprise a major theme of MIS since the early days in computing (Lucas, 1975; Swanson, 1974). Also extensively studied are IS development theories and methodologies, collaborative work and computer mediated communication, representations of information for supporting managerial tasks, and computer training. All of these studies have grown significantly during the last three decades with the maturity of theoretical frameworks and models. Such work has advanced our understanding of human factors in a significant manner (Zhang and Dillon, 2003).
These major long-time interests in the MIS field touch the fundamental issues of human-computer interaction or even more generally, the broad area of human factors. From our MIS context, we are concerned with the ways in which humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts (Zhang, Benbasat, Carey, Davis, Galletta and Strong, 2002). It is distinctive in many ways when compared with HCI studies in other disciplines such as Computer Science, Psychology, and Ergonomics. The MIS researcherĄŠs perspective affords special importance to managerial and organizational contexts by focusing on analysis of tasks and outcomes at a level considering organizational effectiveness.
The interest in HCI in MIS has increased with the recent advancement of technologies and easy development of many sophisticated applications. More people are creating computer applications that affect many more people than ever before. Human-computer interfaces and human factors become the bottleneck of the acceptance of many promising technologies. In addition, being more productive and efficient are but two of several goals of technology users (Reinig, Briggs, Shepherd, Yen and Nunamaker Jr., 1996). We want to enhance not only our work, but also our life outside work, our connection with friends and families, and our capability to be more creative. Human-centeredness has become more critical than ever before, and is studied in many computing related disciplines, including MIS.
Research relevant to HCI/human factors has been the subject of a fairly large number of studies in MIS (Zhang and Li, 2004), and the community has recently become formalized and, hopefully, strengthened for continued future growth (Zhang, Benbasat, Carey, Davis, Galletta and Strong, 2002). It is hoped that the broad spectrum of studies in MIS-relevant HCI can provide the basis for further evolution of human-centered technology to enhance our work, our organizations, our societies, and ourselves.
The objective of the AMIS series is to be a long lasting record of both the knowledge about organizational information systems and the methods for creating new knowledge in the domain. We offer two volumes to address these important aspects in the Human-Computer Interaction subfield of MIS in order to provide a comprehensive and state of the art picture of the subfield. The two volumes are intended to reflect state-of-the-art research by leading authors in IS who examine issues relevant to the broad area of HCI. Together, the two volumes of collections provide comprehensive coverage and perspectives for the HCI sub-discipline. The volumes are hoped to set a milestone for the HCI subfield in MIS for decades to come. In addition, the volumes should be of high value for researchers (including young scholars) in conducting studies from topical, application and methodological perspectives.
In a nutshell, Volume I focuses on foundations of HCI with emphasis on concepts, issues, theories and models, and disciplinary perspectives that are related to understanding humans and tasks, the interactions among humans, tasks, information, and technologies in organizational contexts in general. Topics include disciplinary views of HCI, who are the user, design theories for IT development, the beliefs and behavior of IT use and impact, and the affect, aesthetics, value and socialization aspect of IT use and impact.
Volume II focuses on applications, special case studies, specific contexts of HCI studies, special considerations of tasks that humans need to conduct with the support of IT, evaluations of HCI during the IT development process, the use and adoption process, and specific methodological concerns. Topics include electronic commerce and the Web, collaborative support, cultural and globalization, learning and training, decision making and problem-solving support, health care and health informatics, and methodological issues.
As volumes of the AMIS series, we do not focus heavily on concerns that are extremely technical or oriented toward one particular device or design choice. It is important to balance the focus and boundary of coverage, and reflect organizational issues.
The submissions of these volumes have gone through a peer review process to ensure originality, research rigor, and research contribution to the MIS field.
Papers collected in the volumes can be in any of the following formats.
(1) Original empirical research with theoretical justifications and empirical evidence. These papers can be focused on investigating a specific research question. This is similar to many MIS original research articles.
(2) Analytical surveys, reviews and synthesis. This is very similar to articles appearing in the journal ACM Computing Surveys. They should be authoritative, original, and have research contributions. They can provide frameworks, models, and theories that focus on important issues and concepts in the subfield.
(3) Summary of a research stream (and its evolution over time). We will recommend that researchers provide a general or specific research question and then illustrate how the question was investigated over a series of experiments, surveys, case studies, or other methods. The papers would provide an important view of how the research questions shifted over time, whether broadened, made more specific, or informed by outcomes and/or additional theory. The focus could be labeled Ą§meta-methodologyĄšĄXrather than detail a single study, contributors would provide a detailed view of a particular issue, research question, or methodological difficulty over a sequence of studies. Many authors would find that they would need to Ą§rethinkĄš what they have done, reconceptualize their approach, or settle previously-hidden inconsistencies in their body of work. The value of this type of paper would be in the exemplars provided by established researchers.
(4) Short commentaries by well-known researchers. In addition to above formats, we would also like to try to encourage extremely well-known researchers to provide short essays or short commentaries to enrich the volumes. These materials may be taken in part from previous work but will be updated to reflect the current state of knowledge and to therefore provide originality and value to the volumes. This will also have the benefit of increase their attractiveness for use as readings books in a graduate program.
MIS scholars and graduate students, especially those who have an interest in research and teaching HCI in MIS, are the primary audience of these volumes. There are interested scholars outside AIS/MIS who may find our volumes to be valuable. Practitioners could be another potential audience, particularly those who are interested in design.
AMIS has specific requirements for the authors of contributions. Authors
can visit the main AMIS website for the Author Guidelines at http://mesharpe.com/amis_author_guidelines.htm.
Manuscripts should be in MS
Word format. For these two volumes on HCI in MIS, we have some suggestions on
manuscript length. Manuscripts should be double-spaced with one-inch margin
around.
ĄP
For a
regular paper (in any of the first 3 formats as outlined above), the manuscript
should be around 45 (or 40-50) pages that include everything.
ĄP
For a
commentary, the length should be between 4-8 manuscript pages.
Please send electronic copies to Ping and Dennis,
not the publishers for your final submissions.
Please make sure you follow the AMIS final submission formatting requirements. For your convenience, the publisher
has provided a sample paper in MS Word format. If you use EndNote,
you can download a special AMIS Reference Style that is created by Dr. Cliff Nass. When
download the style, put it in your EndNote Style
directory. For example, my EndNote directory is
C:\Program Files\EndNote\Style.
Please label with <<BOLD DOUBLE-BRACKETED
CAPS>> any items that different from plain text ĄV for instance, extracts,
bulleted lists, numbered lists, math equations (when on a separate line), etc.
