Americas Conference for Information Systems (AMCIS)
2011 Mini-Track: Trust in Information Systems,
August 4-7, 2011, Detorit, Michigan
http://amcis2011.aisnet.org/
A user's trust and distrust in information systems are important components in the interactive relationship between users and their systems. A user has to trust a technology before the technology is adopted and fully used. While there is a rich literature on interpersonal trust, trust in information systems has been under-researched and much of what we know about trust in IS contexts is derived from the interpersonal views promulgated through the organizational behavior research. Hence, the conceptualization of trust in information systems needs to be clarified and expanded to include not only the interpersonal view but also the intermediated views that arise from considerations of the source credibility paradigm from mass communications theory. In this way, the similarities and differences between interpersonal trust and trust in information systems will be better understood.
Though concepts and theoretical frameworks from prior literature on interpersonal trust have investigated trust in information systems, the components of trust that are derived from combined source and media effects in the source effects paradigm can explain much of how users interact with and come to trust technology mediated sources in eCommerce, eBusiness and personal contexts. Designing more trustworthy technology requires well-informed research, and the expansion of our understanding of the concept of trust beyond the interpersonal context, for specific use in information systems. What we learn from applying new conceptualizations of the trust construct in information systems will also lead to better understanding of adoption and use of technology-mediated channels for business and personal purposes. From this, new contextual factors can be discerned which may have important moderating effects on key technology outcomes.
We welcome the submissions addressing all aspects of trust and distrust in information systems, credibility, deception, privacy violations, and the like. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers.
Suggested Topics
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Conceptualization of trust and/or distrust in information systems that expands beyond the interpersonal view to include source effects models
- Processes of trust and/or distrust development in information systems
- Theories or empirical studies on the impact of user, task, technology, and contextual characteristics on trust/distrust in information systems
- Theories or empirical studies on the impact of trust in information systems on technology adoption, decision making, website revenue, and customer relationships
- Users' trusting perceptions of information systems in electronic or mobile business/commerce
- Research on the formation and consequences of privacy concern or privacy violations caused by various information systems
- Conceptual, theories or empirical studies on the impact of credibility or deception in information systems on technology adoption, decision making, website revenue, and customer relationships
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: February 17, 2011
Notification of acceptance: March 24, 2011 Camera Ready papers due: April 21, 2011

The Center for Corporate Education (CCE), affiliated with the School of Business Foundation at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), is offering non-credit, continuing education, live, interactive, synchronous online classes (one AM and one PM) introducing the use of R for a variety of academic-research statistical analyses. The cost for the 14-hour, 5 week courses is $225 (student); $295 (faculty); and $350 (practitioner). This course has proven to be popular so please do not wait if you are interested. There are only 10 seats left in the PM class.
The informational (and registration) site for the AM version (AM by US Eastern Time) is here: https://www.regonline.com/R-vcu-feb-satAM This course runs on five consecutive Saturdays from February 12 to March 12, from 11AM until 2PM ET.
The informational (and registration) site for the PM version (PM by US Eastern Time) is here: https://www.regonline.com/R-vcu-feb-PM This course also runs on the same five consecutive Saturdays from February 12 to March 12, but in the evening from 6:30PM until 9:30PM ET.
The R Project for Statistical Computing provides a comprehensive environment for statistical analysis and graphics and is unrivaled in the availability of new, cutting-edge applications. R is a very powerful system for statistical computations and graphics, and runs on Windows, UNIX and Mac computers. It may be described as a combination of a statistics package and a programming language. It is freely available for download from http://www.r-project.org/ .
We designed this course specifically for researchers and statistical workers who want to learn a powerful new software platform for conducting a variety of essential academic research statistical analyses, including: (1) the statistical graphical displays available in R; (2) simple inference; (3) analysis of variance; (4) simple and multiple regression; (5) logistic regression; (6) analyzing longitudinal data; and (7) simultaneous inference and multiple comparisons.
This course illustrates how to use R for common, research-oriented statistical analyses using generic data which is provided with or without the (optional) textbook. We will also use R Commander, the freely-available, menu-driven, statistics-oriented visual interface to R to illustrate how to utilize the various statistical functions.
This live, interactive, synchronous online course (which has both an AM and a PM version to reach all time zones) is conducted in four separate, weekly 3-hour sessions. There is also a pre-class session to ensure that everyone has installed R and R Commander without problems. All classes are recorded and provided to participants so, if you miss a class, you will have the recording. There is also information available at http://www.pls-seminars.com.
