The 20th Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems will be
held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on December 11-12, 2010, just prior to the
International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the
workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among scholars
with research
interests in the cutting edge issues of information technology and systems.
The theme of the conference will be  "Creating Value Through Collaboration".

>From a business perspective, information technology is consistently a major
driving factor behind the biggest threats and the biggest opportunities an
organization faces.  As technology and software become more commoditized,
the challenge is to create superior value though innovative use of
technology.  Collaboration holds the promise to improve efficiency and
effectiveness, and IT is the key enabler of this revolution.  The objective
is to simultaneously create a sustainable competitive advantage and lower
costs.  Collaborative IT innovations currently center on such themes as
social networking, knowledge management, and service-oriented technologies.
Within these broad classes of technologies, we find both established and
emerging fields of study.  Since it is a workshop, WITS actively solicits
papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a relatively early
stage of development.  Thus, the conference theme is inclusive and engages
research in a wide range of topics, including the following:




 ·       Access Control and Security Techniques

·       Agent‐based Systems and Modeling

·       Agile System Development

·       Autonomous Computing

·       Collaboration Systems

·       Component‐based Systems

·       Conceptual Modeling

·       Databases and Information Integration

·       Data, Text and Web Mining

·       Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence

·       Distributed Computing

·       E‐Business and E‐Commerce

·       Emerging Technologies

·       Enterprise Resource Planning and Enterprise Application Integration


·       Enterprise Systems and Architecture

·       Human‐Computer Interface

·       Information Personalization Technology

·       Information Quality, Privacy, and Security

·       Intellectual Property Protection

·       Intelligent Systems and Technologies

·       Knowledge Management Technologies

·       Mobile Commerce and Wireless Technologies

·       Multi‐Media Computing

·       Object Technologies and Methodologies

·       Peer‐to‐peer Technologies

·       Process Management and Mining

·       Resource and Organizational Modeling

·       Search Engines

·       Semantic Web

·       Service‐Oriented Architecture and Web Services

·       Services Science

·       Social Computing and Web 2.0 Technologies

·       Supply Chains and IT

·       Systems Analysis and Design

·       Systems to Support Collaboration and Negotiation

·       IT Infrastructure for Evolving Business Models

·       Web‐based Information Systems

·       Workflow Management Systems

 *SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
*Submitted research papers are limited to 6 single-spaced, Times New Roman,
12-point font, 8.5" by 11" pages (including tables, figures, and references
and 1" margins on all sides).  All submissions will be subject to double
blind review.  Selection for presentation at the workshop and publication in
the proceedings will be based on originality, contribution to the field, and
workshop interest.



Submissions must be sent in electronic form using the WITS 2010 Submission
system. The electronic submission system, as well as instructions, will be
available in late July 2010.



Prototypes, demos, and instructional technology submissions should be
submitted through the electronic submission system using the same guidelines
as for research papers.  These submissions could include links to any
associated software or demo.



*JOURNAL PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES*

Authors of selected research papers will be invited to submit complete
versions of their work for review and possible publication in three
journals, based on fit with the journal scope as follows:



1.                *Information Technology and Management* (ITM):
Manuscripts concerning the man/machine interface, human factors, and
organizational issues, as well as managerial and strategic issues that arise
from the management of information technology.



2.                *ACM Transaction on Management Information Systems *(ACM
TMIS): Manuscripts focused on system and design science research.



3.                *The Journal of the Association for Information
Systems (*JAIS):
 Manuscripts where the applied method or methodology is inherently related
to ongoing theory formulation or validation.



We estimate that there will be approximately 3 papers nominated for fast
tracking with each journal.  In addition, all accepted papers will be
published on SSRN.


*IMPORTANT DATES
*Deadline for paper submissions: August 9, 2010.
Notification of acceptance: September 27, 2010.

Prototypes, demos, and instructional technology submissions: October 11,
2010.

Notice of acceptance for prototypes, demos, and instructional technology:
October 18, 2010.
Camera-ready copy due: October 25, 2010.
