We thank you for your support and participation in the HCI mini-track at AMCIS 2003. Your valuable help and support have contributed toward another very successful SIGHCI-sponsored event at AMCIS. The HCI mini-track was the largest at AMCIS 2003 and the sessions took up the entire duration of the conference - with 8 regular paper sessions, one HCI teaching panel chaired by Dr. Jane Carey, and one mentored roundtable chaired by Dr. Fred Davis.
All of the sessions were well attended. In fact, we were told that the HCI mini-track was indeed the most popular - with the largest number of attendees at the sessions. The topics covered in the regular paper presentations ranged from web design and usability issues to social issues in HCI. We thank the session chairs for managing the sessions and facilitating very interesting discussions following each presentation.
New this year at AMCIS was a mentored roundtable session. Three papers by doctoral students, Maggie Guo (Texas A&M), Heshan Sun (Syracuse), and Hao Zhou (Drexel), covered different but overlapping aspects of cognitive and motivational issues in HCI. As the mentor for the roundtable, Dr. Fred Davis provided valuable comments and suggestions to the three doctoral students on how to further enhance their research work. The attendees also provided valuable advice for these students, who have benefited significantly from the mentored session.
Dr. Jane Carey chaired a panel entitled "The Role of HCI in the Information Systems Curriculum". The panelists were Drs. Dennis Galletta, Jinwoo Kim, Dov Te'eni, Barbara Wildemuth, and Ping Zhang. Each panelist presented their views and shared their experiences on teaching HCI. The presentations were followed by interesting discussions including the relationships between HCI and other courses such as Systems Analysis & Design and Database Design. It is concluded that HCI is an important and integral part of IS curriculum, and should be incorporated into the core IS curriculum. The presentation slides will be available at the panel web page.
We are particularly excited and fascinated by the very high level of interest expressed by participants. Many people have approached us to express their interest in the HCI area, their willingness to help out with SIG related activities, and their plans to submit papers to the pre-ICIS¡¦03 HCI workshop. It is also exciting to see so many doctoral students at the HCI sessions.
We thank all of you again for the tremendous support and participation. We also look forward to seeing you at the 2nd pre-ICIS HCI workshop in Seattle and future SIGHCI sponsored events!

The HCI mini-track is the most popular and largest mini-track at AMCIS 2003 -- with 40 paper submissions and a panel proposal. The submissions are of very high quality and they cover a variety of HCI topics. After a rigorous review process (39 papers received 3 reviews and one paper received 2 reviews), 24 papers have been accepted for presentation and 3 papers accepted for a mentored round table session. The acceptance rates are: 65% for regular paper submissions, 75% for doctoral paper submissions, and 67.5% overall.
We thank all the authors who have submitted their work to the HCI
mini-track and the reviewers for playing an important role in ensuring the
high quality of the mini-track. We also look forward to seeing your future
submissions to SIGHCI sponsored events including the
pre-ICIS'03 HCI/MIS workshop
and next year's HCI minitrack at AMCIS.
Dr. Tom Steward, Editor-in-chief, has agreed to fask track the best papers (with revision and expansion) from the HCI minitrack for publication in a special issue of Behaviour & Information Technology , a leading refereed academic HCI journal.
The following is from BIT's Website on Aims and Scope:
"Information technology is more than just traditional computers: it includes telecommunications, office systems, industrial automation, robotics and even consumer products. Behaviour and Information Technology (BIT) deals with the human aspects of this technology and reports original research and development on the design, use and impact of information technology in all its forms. Its strictly refereed papers come from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, cognitive science, computer science, ergonomics, sociology, management education and training. BIT attracts a wide, international readership, from researchers and system designers to personnel specialists and planners."
Guest Editors: Ping Zhang, Fiona Nah, & Jenny Preece
Theme of the special issue: HCI Research in IS
Timeline for the special issue:
|
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, information technologies, and contexts and environments.
This year's minitrack is built on the huge success of last year's minitrack (see amcis02_minitrack) and the first pre-ICIS annual workshop on HCI in MIS in December 2002 (see pre_icis02_wksp). The aim of this year's mini-track is to continue to provide a forum to discuss HCI studies in the MIS discipline. Specifically, the mini-track will provide an opportunity for AIS members to acknowledge each other's work, and to discuss, develop, and promote a range of issues related to the history, reference disciplines, theories, practice, methodologies and techniques, new development, and applications of the interaction between humans, tasks, information technologies, and contexts (organizational, cultural, etc.). In an effort to bridge academic research and industry practice, both research articles and experience reports are welcome. The mini-track is open to all types of research methodologies (e.g., conceptualization, theorization, case study, action and interpretive research, experimentation, survey, and simulation). We also welcome visionary articles and research in progress.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
