As innovation and the move into scalable and sustainable development can relate to a multitude of domains, this workshop will initially focus upon a few key fields of study:
  • learning innovations and issues around scalable and/or sustained development in educational organisational structures 
  • healthcare innovations with related issues around potential developments within organisational systems 
  • work-based (organisational) innovations with developments that could be translated beyond that specific organisation 
  • innovations in the home and for leisure activities, highlighting potential scalable developments presenting issues relating to the scalable and sustained design and development of systems across a broad public user group.

However, this list is by no means exhaustive and the workshop organisers are open to papers from wider fields of study.


Participants wishing to attend the workshop should submit short papers (maximum 4 pages) detailing their experiences with innovation and scalable/sustained design for all or some of the following points:
  • an overview of projects they’ve been involved with, where innovation has occurred and how they evaluated and collected data on that innovation;
  • potential scalable and/or sustainable developments related to that innovation and what issues arose during the changing design and development of the system;
  • what methods they used to identify impact and the potential for scalable/sustainable design;
  • and how they have presented/are presenting that data
  • a discussion of key challenges, issues and solutions

Submissions should be in BCS eWiC format (template available from the BCS website), in PDF or MS Word format and submitted via EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=issd2013). All submissions will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of 2 reviewers.

At least one author of each accepted paper needs to register for the workshop.
