Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field that has attracted many researchers, educators, and practitioners from many different disciplines. HCI has gained even more attention during recent years in which technology has developed at a fast pace. To better utilize this advanced technology, we need to better understand users, their tasks within different contexts, and the interplay among users, tasks, and contexts/ environments.
In the MIS field, broad HCI issues and research questions have been investigated over a long period of time. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) or Human Factors studies in MIS are concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. MIS researchers are interested in macro level analyses and issues, and they study these issues in the organizational/business contexts or take these contexts into consideration in their studies.
The high level of interest exhibited by MIS scholars in broad HCI studies has been demonstrated in many ways:

To continue the AIS SIGHCI tradition, we will have a special issue of a high quality refereed academic journal to publish the expansions of the best papers from the HCI track. This year, the journal is the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction. The co-editors-in-chief, Dr. Gavriel Salvendy (Purdue University) and Dr. Kay M. Stanney (University of Central Florida), accepted our proposal as an exception! We are very thankful for their strong support and appreciation of the importance of HCI research in the MIS discipline. The guest editors for this special issue are Fiona Nah, Ping Zhang and Scott McCoy.
Best complete research papers from the participating HCI mini-tracks will be considered for the special issue.

(11/7/2003)
This year, there are 7 mini-tracks that are sponsored by the AIS SIGHCI and are under the HCI track. The first 6 mini-tracks emphasize on specific areas of HCI, and the 7th is for papers that do not fit in any of the first 6 mini-tracks but are within the broad HCI coverage. At AMCIS, mini-tracks are the entities to accept papers, thus all papers have to be submitted to a specific mini-track. Mini-track chairs are responsible for the review process and outcome of papers in the mini-tracks.
Authors are encouraged to submit their work to the most appropriate mini-tracks. If a paper submitted to the HCI mini-track can be a better fit in another mini-track, we will convince the author(s) to move the paper to that mini-track. If you have questions regarding a specific mini-track, please contact the chair(s) of that mini-track directly.

CFP of HCI Mini-track 1: Accessibility
Chairs: Eleanor T. Loiacono-Mello (eloiacon@wpi.edu),
Scott McCoy (Scott.McCoy@business.wm.edu), Nicholas C. Romano, Jr. (Nicholas-Romano@MSTM.OKState.EDU)

Accessibility is the ability of persons, regardless of ability, to easily access information, regardless of form, structure, or presentation. Fifty-four million Americans-nearly one in five-live with some form of disability (cognitive, visual, or audio) that makes accessing information difficult. Though great strides have been made during the past decade to accommodate those with special needs (including the development of numerous assistive technologies), there is still much to be done. For example, as the Internet and World Wide Web become an integral component of daily life, Web accessibility becomes more vital.
Accessibility goes beyond making information available for people with disabilities. Increasing accessibility may in turn increase use of systems by users without disabilities as well. Those with less powerful computers or slow Internet connections may find it preferable to purchase from accessible-friendly websites that require less bandwidth. For example, some might find it beneficial to surf the Web with the graphics function turned off, thus decreasing download time. Given this broad definition of accessibility, a number of research perspectives are expected from such areas as Information Systems, Information Science, Library Science, Education, Computer Science, and Engineering.
Potential topics and research questions that this Mini-track would address includes but is not limited to:

IT management is constantly under attack. Budgetary pressures and a global competitive business environment have forced the IT department to make an immediate impact upon their organizations that is quantifiable and directly measurable. While the type of technology has changed through the years, practitioners have faced an enduring battle to justify new IT systems and their influence upon productivity and efficiency.
The academic literature has a long tradition of understanding how people use technology, with early innovation researchers such as Gabriel Tarde (1903) introducing the S-shaped diffusion curve and Bryce Ryan and Neal Gross (1940's) studying the diffusion of hybrid seeds among Iowa farmers. Recently, work by Everett Rogers (1983) and Fred Davis (1989) have included the perceptions of individuals and how these cognitive orientations link towards technology usage. While such work has helped us focus on intentions and perceptions, the next step is linking them to the bottom-line impacts that IT and business management needs to understand.
This mini-track is devoted to examining different types of technology usage and perceptions as they link to individual and organizational performance. Some possible topics include:

CFP of HCI Mini-track 5: Information Retrieval and Human Language Technologies
Chairs: Praveen Pathak (praveen@ufl.edu),

As knowledge becomes a central productive and strategic asset, the success of organizations increasingly depends on their ability to effectively gather, produce, maintain, and disseminate information and knowledge. Modern corporate knowledge bases contain large numbers of manuals, procedures, documentation, expert knowledge, e-mail archives, news resources, and technical reports - all in the form of unstructured natural language text. That is why, the importance of processing information stored in unstructured form is growing at a rapid pace and is as vital as processing the data stored in the structured form (relational tables). However, finding, interpreting and summarizing relevant information contained in the free text form still remains an extremely challenging task, requiring collaboration of multiple disciplines. The field of Human Language Technologies is currently emerging from such disciplines as Information Retrieval (IR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computational Linguistics (CL), and Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and has been gaining significant attention among academicians and practitioners. This mini-track invites theoretical, experimental, or applied papers that are expected to advance this field.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following:

CFP of HCI Mini-track 6: Emergency Response Information Systems (Co-sponsored by SIGDSS)
Chairs: Murray Turoff (turoff@njit.edu),
Bartel Van de Walle (bartel@uvt.nl)
URL:
http://web.njit.edu/~turoff/Proposedamcistrack.htm
Any aspect of the design, development, deployment, operation, or
evaluation of emergency response systems are appropriate for this
mini-track provided it focuses on the tools, functionality, and/or
interface the system provides to human users involved with emergency and
crisis response. Also papers that focus on requirements for this
environment and/or the impact or relationship of such systems to the
behavior of the individuals or organizations involved are equally welcome.
Papers that focus on the underlying technology or hardware of computers,
networks, sensors, mobile devices and their improvements in such areas
as throughput, accuracy, and security, should be directed to other
appropriate sessions. An exception might be any special purpose
input/output device for direct use by respondents to a crisis situation.
This mini-track is concerned with the functionality that Emergency
Response Information System provides for those involved in:

Abstracts should be send to all three HCI mini-track co-chairs: Scott McCoy (scott.mccoy@business.wm.edu),
Fiona Nah (fnah@unl.edu),
and Ping Zhang (pzhang@syr.edu).
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
