This session is for discussing and publishing studies about information systems that reinforce the creativity of human, i.e., for human to discover knowledge and chances, to make a break-through decision, and to design new systems and new environment surrounding the social system. As we have been learning for years, these three D's (Discovery, Decision, and Design) are to be linked with each other via at least two components:

- Humans' process of thought, communication, and action

- Computational analysis/visualization of data.

We seek further interdisciplinary approaches for finding the third, forth, etc components for building a robust connection of the thee D's. Papers relevant, not restricted, to

- business data mining, social risk management,

- chance discovery,

- cognitive science,

- artificial intelligence,

- decision/creativity support systems,

- computer simulation,

- understanding of human behaviors

etc., new combinations of these disciplines, and thoughts going beyond are more than welcome as relevant areas. The focus of application is supposed to be marketing and design (of products/market), but basic ideas which might provide with seeds of future methods of marketing and design are all relevant.

When you submit your paper, please choose our TC (Information Systems for Design and Marketing) through the special session paper submission system at IEEE SMC '09 website (http://www.smc2009.org/SpecialPaper.html) and then submit your manuscript.

Papers will be reviewed by at least two independent experts for their originarity, significance, creativity and applicability.

All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register and pay fees.
