IFIP 9.1 is in the process of developing a new mission statement. The current draft is:

The mission of IFIP Working Group 9.1 (Computers and Work) is to promote, facilitate and disseminate research on ICTs and work, in order to promote quality of life, technology that meets human needs, and social accountability. IFIP WG 9.1 strives to identify important new perspectives on the future of ICTs and new ways of working, and to communicate the social and organizational consequences of ICTs and work.

If you have comments or suggestions, we would love to hear them, either here on the website for registered users, or by contacting one of the IFIP 9.1 officers directly.

The Post-ICIS IFIP WG 9.1 workshop took place immediately after ICIS 2007 in Montréal, on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007.

The call for papers is available here.

The workshop program, with links to abstracts and slides, is available here.

The "relaunch" of WG 9.1 began with a pre-ECIS workshop in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The workshop program and abstracts, and the original call for papers, are available online.
