[AISWorld] CFP: DEWALD ROODE INFORMATION SECURITY WORKSHOP 2011

[Robert Crossler]

DEWALD ROODE INFORMATION SECURITY WORKSHOP 2011
IFIP WG 8.11/11.13
CALL FOR PAPERS

Mid-September to early October 2011 (exact date to be announced by the end of February, 2011)
Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

Following the success of the first two International Information Systems Security Workshops held in Cape Town, South Africa, May 2009 and at Bentley University, October 2010, the third workshop will continue efforts to advance the research discipline of information systems security through the creation, dissemination, and preservation of well-formed research.  Through the active discussion in the workshop, participants will receive specific feedback on their papers and provide feedback to others.

While relevant for advanced practical development, our primary audience consists of researchers in this area.  We value research products with highly reliable and validated theory, empirical data, or quantitative/qualitative social scientific methodology.  Editors of EJIS and MISQ will screen potentially high quality papers that may be fast tracked to these journals after revisions. The workshop is also intended to nurture individual journal articles for submission to a wide variety of other management research journals. Selection for the workshop is competitive, and only authors of the accepted papers and working group members will be invited to participate.

Anchoring the workshop to information systems means the research will attend and extend the social, organizational, and managerial literature in this area.  While we assume an effective foundation in information security technology, we regard information systems risks broadly, for example crime, employee misconduct, warfare, terrorism, error, accident, natural events, etc.  We also address information systems security broadly, for example, privacy, awareness, policies, strategy, audit, planning and control. 

Manuscripts will be prescreened by the program chairs and members to ensure that all papers sent to reviewers are reasonably complete, well-formed and appropriate to the scope and mission of the workshop (e.g. information security management focused rather than information security science focused). Double blind reviews will follow for prescreened papers.
