by Andrea H. Tapia 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

2012 Summer Research Institute for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems July 29 – August 2, 2011 – The Bishop’s Lodge Resort, Santa Fe, NM, USA Application: Screening begins March 9th, 2012 Eligibility: Advanced doctoral students, post-doctoral scholars and pre-tenure faculty at US-based institutions Notification: Early April 2012 Cost: reasonable expenses will be covered for all accepted participants Background A science of socio-technical systems is emerging from research in the fields of CSCW, social computing, social informatics, the sociology of computing, HCI, information systems and other related intellectual communities. The Consortium for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems (CSST, see www.sociotech.net) is an organization devoted to advancing research on socio-technical systems. Building on the success of the three previous Summer Research Institutes, the CSST will, with generous support by the National Science Foundation, again be hosting a summer research institute for advanced doctoral students, post-doctoral scholars, and pre-tenure faculty. A primary goal of the institute is to build a new cohort of faculty and graduate students who are interested in research on the design and interplay of the social and technical that spans levels of individuals, groups, organizations, and larger communities. Examples of this kind of work include research on: * new forms of organizing (e.g., virtual organizations, massive online activities) * social computing (e.g., online communities, online social networks); * distributed work (e.g., collaboratories, virtual teams); * technology and work in context (e.g. healthcare informatics, IT and journalism, eScience) * emerging technologies (e.g., recommender systems, prediction markets); * novel forms of production (e.g., open source software, Wikipedia); * new forms of expression and entertainment (e.g., blogs, wikis, massively multiplayer online role-playing games); * information and communication technologies for developing regions (e.g., cell phone-based applications to assist economic development, infrastructure development for local economic action). Institute mentors The institute has assembled a faculty of distinguished scholars in the domain of socio-technical systems to serve as mentors. This includes the followingleading scholars, in addition to others from both industry and government: * Brian Butler, University of Maryland, Director * Andrea Tapia, Pennsylvania State University, Assistant Director * Geoff Bowker, UCI * Tom Erickson, IBM * Wayne Lutters, UMBC * Tony Salvador, Intel * Steve Sawyer, Syracuse University * Diane Bailey, University of Texas – Austin * Bonnie Nardi - UCI Institute goals The goals of the institute are to: * Expand on and strengthen connections among the cohort of researchers in this area, and build on the network of relations formed through the prior Summer Research Institutes. * Guide the work of the new researchers by interacting with experts in socio-technical systems science. Provide encouragement and support for the selection of socio-technical systems research topics. * Illustrate the interrelationship and diversity of the field of socio-technical systems research. How the institute will be conducted The institute will be conducted as a residential program at the Bishop’s Lodge Resort outside Santa Fe, New Mexico (http://www.bishopslodge.com/) with a combination of small group sessions devoted to providing feedback onparticipant's research and larger group sessions consisting of panels and presentations led by the Institute's mentors. These sessions will cover research topics such as core principles and viable research methods and also career development, how to obtain funding, and publication strategies. Timeeach afternoon will be reserved for informal recreational activities. All reasonable, pre-paid costs of participation, including travel, lodging, and meals are covered by support from NSF. How to apply The application process requires three parts: 1. A 350 word response to the question: How will your research contribute to advancing our scientific understanding of socio-technical systems? A few core citations may be helpful in framing your answer, especially if they are not to your own work. (The accompanying reference list does not apply toward your word count.) 2. Your current curriculum vitae. 3. Your contact information and affiliation: your name, your current U.S.-based institution and affiliation, your preferred email address, and your status (PhD candidate, post-doctoral scholar, pre-tenure faculty, or an explanation of some other status).

Tablet Computer Ethnographies
by Kevin Guidry 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

All, Can anyone recommend to me to high quality ethnographies of people using tablet computers? I've searched the list archives and we recently veered close to this subject in a thread discussing "Writing and iPads" but not close enough. In that thread, Shane Tilton shared a link to a poster about an ethnographic study of tablet usage on campus buses (https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/25041/hahn_rapid.pdf?…) I've also found references to an Australian study (http://works.bepress.com/jeff_brand/18/) but nearly all of the material I've found so far focuses on the use of tablets as tools to conduct ethnographies. So are there any studies out there I'm missing? Does anyone have anything in the pipeline? (For the curious and those who need more context, this relates to a study for which I've previously asked for help related to mobile devices and web surveys. I'm presenting a paper in a few months showing that in this one study respondents to a web-based survey who used mobile phones provided lower-quality responses compared to iPad and computer users. My methods don't allow me to say *why* this happened but I'd like to conjecture intelligently and offer some likely possibilities hence my desire to know how people use tablets. My hunch is that this relates to screen size and environmental factors.) Kevin

See http://jvwresearch.org<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67c…> . Track Information Interest in virtual worlds has increased in the last years (For example: Wasko, Teigland, Leidner, and Jarvenpaa, 2011). These artificial environments, which emerged from the gaming and role-play world, have developed to serious applications suitable for various domain such as general business, traveling, teaching (Baker, Wentz, and Woods, 2009), and more. Inexpensive commodity-based products, such as computers and high-speed internet, help making sophisticated simulation technologies affordable and more accessible. Virtual Worlds are 3D, immersive graphical environments representing realistic or imaginary worlds. A "Real Virtual World" is defined as a combination of 3D – 3C: a three- dimensional world in which Communities of real people interact, creating Content, stuff and services, and producing real economic value through e-Commerce (Sivan, Bloomfield, and Gelissen, 2009). Simulations in a virtual world have a number of advantages, for example: the possibility to simulate expensive real-world resources, performing collaborative tasks without meeting physically, and training people in risky activities that would be dangerous in the real world. Moreover, the activities are committed in a "gaming" like interaction, which motivates people to perform even routine and annoying activities. The aim of this track is to examine the opportunities and challenges that such developments pose to organizations, and their potential impacts on competitive, organizational, and legal issues. This track will be of interest to researchers, students, educators, virtual world users, and anyone interested in the potential implications of virtual worlds to organizations, businesses, and individuals. Track Submission Instructions Researchers are cordially invited to submit their full research papers (7-12 pages), research-in-progress papers or extended abstracts (3-7 pages). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - The business value of virtual worlds - Deploying virtual worlds in the workplace - Business gaming - Virtual worlds through mobile devices - Training and evaluation in virtual worlds - Case studies of experimental projects - Traditional vs. virtual organizations - Serious games - Virtual Reality - Augmented Reality - Work-related learning in virtual worlds - New business models and strategies in virtual worlds - Virtual worlds as disruptive innovation for organizations - Products and services suitable for virtual worlds - Business activities suitable for virtual worlds (recruiting, research, development, marketing, sales, etc) - Security issues in virtual worlds All submissions must be in English and will be blind reviewed by at least two referees. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: March 9, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2012 Final paper submission: June 1, 2012 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to e-mail the track co-chairs.
