International Workshop on the Uses of
Information and Communication Technologies
(UICT 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
Submission Deadline: January 18, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The value of Information and Communication Technologies depends not only on their specific
technical characteristics but also on their uses and market/social response. Users
may accept or reject the technology. Moreover, users may create new uses that
technology creators did not envisage. Many questions arise such as: what are or what
will be the actual uses of a specific technology in a particular activity, what are the
reasons why specific ICT is accepted or not, adopted or not ? How do the different
uses evolve through time? What are the probable conditions for facilitating
acceptance or appropriation? for effective use ? for efficient use ? What are
the probable effects of the distance or virtual presence on the activity and quality of
work? What are the factors that may trigger or enhance (or, on the contrary, limit)
the use of ICT and innovation?
These questions about the use of ICT may be studied at different levels, such as:
individually, as a group, as an organization, and/or from a strategic point of view.
Methodology may also vary: with qualitative or quantitative studies, or cases
studies and experiments.
The proposed papers may deal with various themes about the use of ICT such as: impact
analysis, acceptance or appropriation analysis, accompanying or leading the change brought
about by the new use technology, evaluation of its use, or innovation through ICT.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The impact and the use of ICT on various activities such as e-training,
e-payment, e-commerce, e-administration, knowledge management, art creation,
e-communication, ...
- Design of ICT, Expected Uses and Effective Uses
- Use of ICT and Innovation
- Communities of Pratice
- Leading or Encouraging the Change about by ICT
- The Evolution of ICT Use over Time
- Historical Evolution of ICT Use
- The Evaluation of ICT Use
- Factors of Acceptance, Appropriation or Adoption of ICT by Users and
Organizations
- Problems of Use: No Use, Ineffective Use
- ICT Use and Privacy
- Analysis of the Different Uses of ICT
PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other
topics related to the uses of information and communication technologies. Submitted
papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.
Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax
numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the
corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an
abstract of no more than 400 words. The full manuscript should be at most 10 pages
using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged at additional
fee. Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers
to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to
the Workshop organizers at
marc.pasquet@ensicaen.fr
and
sylvie.gerbaix@univ-montp2.fr
.
Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the workshop organizers. Each
paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on
their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if
accepted. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
registered and presented at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings. Instructions for
final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2010 Symposium web site
later. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft
