Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field that has attracted researchers, educators, and practitioners from different disciplines. HCI has gained attention during recent years due to the rapid development and advancement in information and computer technology. To better use 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 study these issues in organizational, business, and personal 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:
The high number of hits from queries to the ISWORLD Faculty Directory on research and teaching in HCI related areas (see Zhang et al., 2002 in CAIS);
The high level of participation in HCI specific events sponsored by the AIS SIGHCI (please refer to http://sigs.aisnet.org/sighci for more information);
The high level of participation in the HCI track/minitrack at AMCIS 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. At the last five AMCIS conferences, the HCI in MIS track (or minitrack prior to AMCIS 2004) was among the most popular ones at AMCIS.
This increasing trend of interest and enthusiasm was exhibited by the large number of submissions and the high level of participation during the last few years. A meta/mega track is necessary so that (1) it is possible to attend to specific research areas within HCI in MIS, (2) more HCI researchers can be involved, play important organizing roles, and make an impact in this area, and (3) the overall reviewing process for submissions in this area can be more efficiently and better managed.
The aim of this track is consistent with the HCI in MIS track/minitrack in previous years at AMCIS. We want to provide a forum for AIS members to acknowledge each other's work, and to discuss, develop, and promote a range of issues related to HCI in MIS, including the history, reference disciplines, theories, practice, methodologies and techniques, new development, and applications of the interaction between humans, information and information technology. In an effort to bridge academic research and industry practice, both research articles and experience reports are welcome. The track is open to all types of research methodologies (e.g., conceptualization, theorization, case study, action research, experimentation, survey, simulation). We also welcome visionary articles and research in progress papers.

We are pleased to announce that The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems (DATA BASE) has agreed to publish expansions of the best, completed papers from participating minitracks at the HCI track at AMCIS 2007. Our special thanks go to the co-editors of DATA BASE, Dr. Tom Stafford and Dr. Patrick Chau, for their support of HCI research and AIS SIGHCI. Continuing the AIS SIGHCI tradition, we believe that this fast-tracking opportunity with a high-quality refereed academic journal will promote HCI research in the MIS community. The guest editors for this special issue will be Matt Germonprez, Traci Hess, Chuck Kacmar, and Gabe Lee.
HCI researchers wishing to participate in this fast-tracking opportunity should submit their papers to the participating HCI mini-tracks listed below. SIGHCI’s policies regarding fast-tracking with SIGHCI sponsored special journal issues and best paper awards at conferences are available at http://sigs.aisnet.org/sighci/sig_policies/.

As a meta/mega track for the HCI in MIS area, we will help coordinate the efforts of organizing the various minitracks and channel any misfit in submissions to an appropriate minitrack.
To continue the SIGHCI tradition, a high quality refereed academic journal is being planned for a possible special issue based on the expansions of the best papers from the meta/mega track. We will discuss the possibility of collaborating with interested HCI minitracks to jointly participate in this special issue. Of course, if an HCI minitrack has its own plans for working with a different journal, we respect that and will help out in any way we can.
Guidelines for Submission
Final papers will be submitted via the AIS Review System, deadline is March 5, 2007.
A paper must be submitted only to one mini-track. However, you may submit multiple papers to (m)any mini-track(s).
Copyright Information: Submission of a paper to AMCIS 2007 represents the author's agreement to allow AIS to publish the paper in any written or electronic format for distribution to all interested parties in perpetuity with or without compensation to AIS and without compensation to the author. The parties understand that the author is granting a nonexclusive license and all copyrights remain the property of the author.
