Vision
Today, organizations act in globalized and competitive markets where information technology is the backbone of almost all distributed business processes. Therefore, products and services are increasingly affected by
aspects of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. The information systems’ point of view requires methods and procedures to achieve assurance in information systems. Being not compliant with legal
requirements and internal or cross-organizational policies can cause highly negative impacts. Managing information systems needs to take into account these issues to achieve a sustainable use and adoption of
information technology. IFIP 8.6 Conference 2011 aims at promoting scientific and practical excellence on aspects of transfer and diffusion of information technology and invites academics and practitioners to enhance the knowledge base. The conference will feature an exciting program that, in addition to the regular paper tracks, will also host a number of other activities and events, including keynotes, panels and a
doctoral consortium.

Topics of interest for regular sessions
The conference focus will be on theories, tools and best practices of governance and sustainability in information systems, but also welcomes submissions to more general topics related to transfer and diffusion of information technology. Relevant topics comprising theoretical as well as practical contributions will include but are not limited to:

• Identification of governance, risk and compliance factors for successful use of information systems.
• Sustainability of processes and technologies to be incorporated in systems for customers and clients.
• Conditions/Scenarios/Outcomes under which governance, risk and compliance techniques are applicable.
• Case studies of governance and sustainability in information systems to provide instances to guide research, development, and practice.
• Specifications and standards that facilitate governance and sustainability in information systems.
• Methods to evaluate the sustainability and value of technology transfer programs and approaches, including time and effort estimators and metrics.
• Organization design and process issues related to technology
transfer and diffusion.

Submissions
We invite those interested in participating to submit one of the following:
• Completed research papers (7000 words maximum)
• Practitioner experience short papers (2500 words maximum)
• Poster presentations (one page including text and graphics)
• Panel proposals

Papers will be submitted electronically, formatted according to the conference guidelines (see conference website for details). All papers will be double blind reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings. Selected papers will be tracked for publication in a leading journal.
