CALL FOR PAPERS
SIGPrag 2009 at ICIS in Phoenix, Arizona
“So you want to DO IT, then get pragmatic… join SIGPrag 2009”
A scientific event organized by the AIS Special Interest Group
on Pragmatist IS research (www.sigprag.org)
In the IS field there is a growing recognition of the importance of
theorizing the IT artifact and its organizational and societal context
from a pragmatic and action-oriented perspective. Over the years, a
number of events and journal special issues have been devoted to this
topic (e.g. the Language/Action Perspective workshops 1996–2005 and
special issues of CACM and Data and Knowledge Engineering, the
Understanding Sociotechnical Action workshops and special issue of
IJTHI, the Action in Language, Organizations and Information Systems
conferences and EJIS special issue, the Pragmatic Web conference, and
the Organizational Semiotics conferences and books). The aim of SIGPrag
is to provide a much-needed centre of gravity and to facilitate exchange
of ideas and further development of this area of IS scholarship.
The first SIGPrag scientific event was held in Paris 2008 at ICIS 2008
(see www.sigprag.org). The AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS
Research (SIGPrag, www.sigprag.org) now invites researchers to
contribute papers advancing SIGPrag's central theme: theorizing the IT
artifact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic,
design and action-oriented perspective.
SIGPrag addresses pragmatic issues across the full spectrum of
information systems research, including areas such as systems
development, social software, social media, social responsibility,
business in society, business modeling, sustainable development, digital
innovation, and IT in the supply chain. Diverse aspects of pragmatic
theory, pragmatic research, and pragmatic methods are of special
interest and especially their relation to other research streams such as
design science research. How can pragmatic IS research make a difference
in practice and theory?
Submission will undergo peer-review and accepted papers will be
presented at the SIGPrag meeting in conjunction with ICIS 2009 in
Phoenix, AZ, USA. The program committee, consisting of selected members
from the SIGPrag advisory board and members of SIGPrag, will perform the
reviews. Those interested should submit their paper by September 18, 2009
as an email attachment to sigprag2009@gmail.com. Proceedings will be
published through the AIS eLibrary. Submissions should follow the format
of the ICIS template (see http://www.icis09.org/).

* September 18, 2009: Paper Submission ***New Date***
* October 23, 2009: Notification of acceptance
* November 20, 2009: Final Papers due
