*Introduction*

In order to foster successful usage of information systems, it is important
that systems design should focus on user work practices. As a result
traditional requirement gathering and evaluation methodologies fall short
as they mainly rely on "official" viewpoint rather than actual practices.
As a result notions of "Participatory Design" and "User Centric Design"
have emerged in information system domain. These concepts focus on
empowering the user in design process as well so that users have more
control on design processes which will lead to more successful usage of
information systems.

Technology appropriation is a complex task and in order to design
appropriate technological systems there is a strong emphasis on involving
users in system design process. As a result the information systems and
work practices of users are aligned together which increases the
probaibility of technology adoption by end users. The goal of this book is
to provide state of the art research and best practices.

*Objective*

The aim of this book is to publish high quality original research
contributions on the specialized theme of user centric information system
design and management processes. The content will disseminate theoretical
foundations and empirical studies by researchers and practitioners.

*Target Audience*

The book is intended for students and researchers working in Information
system, Human computer interaction and Computer supported cooperative work
domains. So students and university libraries are potential users for this
publication. The book will also be helpful for professionals working in
professional organizations.

*Recommended Topics*

Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited
to) the following:
•Technology Appropriation in Organizational Settings
•Empirical Studies of Technology Usage
•Open Sources Systems and Information System Design Process
•Web 2.0 and organizational Dynamics
•IT and Knowledge Management in Organizations
•Participatory and User Centered Design Approaches
•Empirical Studies of System Evaluation in Practice
•User Experiences with Technology Infrastructures
•Heuristic Evaluation and Usability Testing Issues
• Web and Mobile Usability
•System Design and Cultural Implications
•Usability and Technology Diffusion
•Economic, Ethical, Security, Privacy and Legal Issues in Information
System Design

*Submission Procedure*

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before February
28, 2016, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the
