Invitation for Submissions to the Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making Journal Regular Track on "Design of Complex and Joint Systems" Cognitive Engineering & Decision Making is a new, peer-reviewed, journal devoted to research that seeks to understand how people engage in cognitive work in real world settings and the development of systems that support that work. The journal features three regular tracks: Cognition in Context, Studies in Simulations and Synthetic Environments, and Design of Complex and Joint Cognitive Systems. This call for papers is for the Design of Complex and Joint Systems track. More information on the journal can be found at: http://www.hfes.org/Publications/cedmjournal.html The Design of Complex and Joint Systems track focuses on the process and product of innovative design. It seeks to provide a vehicle for presentation of creative design research that has not traditionally had natural outlets within the Human Factors and related communities. Toward this end we encourage papers that include links to companion electronic media affording the ability to present material that are not well suited for inclusion in traditional papers (e.g., dynamic depictions of design concepts; video clips of user interactions that motivate the design or illustrate its evaluation). We seek research papers that are broadly relevant to design of innovative systems. This includes theories, methods and studies of design that contribute to our understanding of how to design systems that more effectively foster cognitive and collaborative work of individuals, teams and organizations. We also seek papers that present innovative design concepts and their theoretical rationale. The focus of these papers should be on description of the design concepts, support rationale and design principles they embody. Formal evaluation studies of the design concepts are not required. Authors are encouraged to include links to an electronic companion that would provide dynamic illustrations of the design concept. Papers that examine the role of Cognitive Engineering in the wider systems design enterprise are also encouraged. This includes papers that examine the role of analysis, envisioning and evaluation within the broader context of design. We particularly solicit papers on topical themes such as the role of scenarios in design, and the role of cognitive metrics in design and evaluation. The objective is to solicit papers that can provide the focal point for additional shorter commentary papers reflecting on the core theme. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit brief descriptions of proposed papers as well as preliminary draft materials for review and comment by the track Editors prior to formal paper submittal.
