SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 30TH NOVEMBER - for Research & Research-in-Progress Papers, Practitioner Reports, Demos

Submission system now open at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifipwg94

While information and communications technologies (ICT) are now generally accepted to have a key developmental role, the actual process through which development is influenced remains a much debated issue. With the conference theme, Partners for Development: ICT Actors and Actions, we hope to draw special attention to the role played by multiple actors - public and private, activists and entrepreneurs as well as other kinds of intermediaries - within the ICT for development processes and their associated impacts. The conference hopes to provide a space for articulating a variety of approaches and views from these different types of actors in relation to ICT and sustainable development. In addition to papers from the field of information systems, we also invite contributions that address the conference theme from a variety of other perspectives such as development studies, political science, political economy, social anthropology, and sociology. Multidisciplinary papers and cases grounded in theory and panel proposals are very welcome.

Submissions: All papers will be double blind reviewed. The best papers from the conference will be selected for further review and possible publication in the following journals: Journal of Information Technology for Development; Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries; Information Technologies and International Development.
Full Research Papers: Length limit  - 5000 words of text excluding abstract, diagrams, tables and references

Research in Progress/Practitioner Reports: Length Limit  - 2500 words of text excluding abstract, diagrams, tables and references.

Demos: Submissions in the 'ICT4D Demos' category must not exceed one A4 page (500 words maximum) and should contain title of the project, a brief description of the project and reasons for its success. If accepted, at least one of the authors should register for the conference by the registration deadline and be physically present to set up and conduct the demonstration.

Best regards
