Call for Papers:
Behavioral & Social Impacts Track
Conference on Organizational Computing Systems COOCS `95 Sponsored by ACM SIGOIS
This conference has three tracks, and I'm posting here because I believe that the Behavioral & Social Impacts Track will interest some readers.
Rob Kling Chair, Behavioral and Social Impacts Track

Topics for Track II: Behavioral and Social Impacts
Social processes in the development and use of electronic journals Social processes in the development and use of digital libraries Social impacts of organizational re-engineering Organizational impacts of computerization of large applications Integrating information systems and small groups Social-technical systems analysis (theory and case studies) Organization and ramifications of mobile offices Open systems policies, standards, and impacts Social aspects of globally distributed organizational computing Theoretical approaches for understanding the development, use and/or social impacts of information technologies The influence of technology and work organization on work life The cultural dimensions of computerization within and between organizations

CONFERENCE SPECIFICS:
---
Conference Location: Sheraton Silicon Valley ----Milpitas (near San Jose), California August 13-16, 1995 (Immediately after the Workflow `95 conference)
As we endeavor to move toward more effective and efficient organizations, we must take into account technical, social, and organizational aspects of computerization. This conference is organized as three tracks in order to address these aspects. I. Business processes track II. Behavioral and social impacts track III. Technical aspects track
Advances in tools, processes, technologies, and methodologies that facilitate the use of information systems in organizations can improve the way information is made available and used. This conference is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the introduction, management, deployment, and analysis of information and processes within organizations. The scope of the conference is intended to cover areas related to this goal, including but not limited to:
Track II: Behavioral and Social Impacts
Social processes in the development and use of electronic journals Social processes in the development and use of digital libraries Social impacts of organizational re-engineering Organizational impacts of computerization of large applications Integrating information systems and small groups Social-technical systems analysis (theory and case studies) Organization and ramifications of mobile offices Open systems policies, standards, and impacts Social aspects of globally distributed organizational computing Theoretical approaches for understanding the development, use and/or social impacts of information technologies The influence of technology and work organization on work life The cultural dimensions of computerization within and between organizations
-----------------------------
Track I: Business Processes
Workflow systems, models, and theories Process meta-models and meta-modeling Models and strategies for business process design, and re-engineering Measurement-based approaches to organizational analysis Process acquisition, monitoring and management tools Business systems formalisms* Experiences with process models and process management tools
Track III: Technical Aspects
Organizational computing systems and infrastructure Groupware Object and database models and systems Computer supported collaboration and negotiation Distributed AI, expert systems, multi-agent models Coordination technology and workflow technology* Multimedia information storage, retrieval, and communications
Each track of the conference will have a program chair and a program committee. Thus, each paper should be submitted to the program chair of the most appropriate track. (See below for all 3 track chairs)
Rob Kling (behavioral track chair) Dept. Information/Computer Sci University of California Irvine, CA 92715 USA Phone: +1 714 856 5955 Fax: +1 714 856 4056 email: kling@ics.uci.edu
If a submission falls within several tracks, please submit it to one program chair, and note the overlap in a cover letter, so that the submission can be properly considered. Each submission will be critically reviewed and judged by the appropriate program committee(s). Submissions to the conference can be in the form of papers, or demonstration, panel, workshop or tutorial pro- posals. Papers can take either of two forms:
(1) Research investigations present original work in any of the areas of interest to the conference.
(2) Case studies discuss projects which introduce innovative tools, technologies or methodologies into particular organizational settings, and critically analyze the results and impact of the project.
RESEARCH PAPERS --
Papers should present original reports of substantive new work or integrative reviews. Theory, methodology, and concept papers should present new theories, empirical results, methodologies or concepts that stimulate new ways of thinking about, supporting, or studying organizational information systems (broadly conceived).
All papers should provide a concise message to the audience about how the work relates to previous research or experience and what aspects of the work are new. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, and quality of writing.
Papers should not exceed 12 ACM camera-ready pages. It is possible that some papers will be presented at the conference in poster sessions. Papers must include an abstract of no more than 100 words. Papers must be twelve pages or less, including abstract, figures, and references, printed in double columns, in 12 point Times font, on 8.5"X11" paper (See proceedings of COOCS'93 or CSCW'94 for examples.)
-----------------------------
Demonstration proposals should be 3-5 pages long, and include enough information to allow the committee to judge the relevance and significance of the work. Please include machine requirements.
Panel proposals should motivate the subject of the panel and give brief biographical sketches of proposed panel members.
Workshop and Tutorial proposals should motivate the workshop/tutorial and its relevance to this conference. For tutorials, provide an outline and a brief biographical sketch of the proposers. For workshops, motivate the workshop, indicate how you would select participants, and outline the format of the workshop. Proposals for both half-day and full-day workshops and tutorials are welcome.
Authors should submit five copies of the manuscript or proposal, in English, together with a cover sheet, to the appropriate Program Chair by January 4, 1995. The cover sheet should contain (i) submission type; (ii) title; (iii) names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers and email addresses (if available) of all authors; (iv) contact author; (v) keywords and abstract. Information on paper format can be obtained from any of the Program Co-chairs.
