CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM CHIMIT '07: 1st ACM Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction for
Management of Information Technology
March 30-31, 2007 - Cambridge, MA, USA
http://chimit.cs.tufts.edu
Over the years, IT systems have become increasingly complex such that
management is now a serious bottleneck to personal and organizational
productivity. IT service delivery costs are now dominated by operating
expenses, and end-user productivity suffers as a consequence. Simply
put, we are at a turning point in IT: Further advances in technology,
business efficiency, and growth require fundamentally new approaches
to system design and management. Solutions will require a broad
understanding of technology, people, organizations, and business. This
symposium aims to bring together stakeholders, researchers,
practitioners, and designers from diverse fields such as
human-computer interaction, human factors, computer science,
management science, social sciences, and service sciences, to identify
issues, put forward a research agenda, and propose solutions.
TOPICS
Originals contributions are sought broadly on workplace studies,
processes and practices, organizational knowledge, models and metrics,
design, experimental studies, tools, and automation approaches for IT
management. More specifically topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
