~ What matters most ~

Our conference theme, What Matters Most, invites you to reflect upon what is most important, relevant, and significant in the field of information Systems, in your work as an academic, in organizations, and beyond.

We are inviting you to join us in Montréal to dialogue, debate, and ponder what matters most with your colleagues in a stimulating and congenial setting. Montréal’s cosmopolitan flair and “joie de vivre” provides a fantastic backdrop for not only sharing perspectives and research, but also renewing relationships and connections within and across disciplines.

Case Track
Business professors, for both research and teaching purposes, have extensively used case writing and case discussion in class. Authors of empirical (not fictional) cases with a clear decision focus relevant for undergraduate or graduate programs are invited to submit their case study and an accompanying teaching note via the conference webpage http://asac2011.uqam.ca/  no later than February 1st, 2011. The same requirements and blind review procedures apply as for submissions to the regular research track. Awards, recognizing the best cases submitted, will be presented at the conference. More information about the Case Track can be found at http://www.wlu.ca/sbe/cases/ASAC.

Paper Submission

•         Original papers, written in English or French, should be submitted electronically to the appropriate ASAC division in Microsoft Word. All contributions will be peer reviewed, and selected papers will be included in the Proceedings.

•         Papers must conform to the ASAC Typing Style Guide<http://asac2010.uregina.ca/en/cfp/ASAC2010%20Typing%20Style%20Guide.pdf> and must not exceed fifteen (15) single-spaced pages (use Times New Roman 11), including all author information, the title of the paper, maximum 50-word abstract, all footnotes and endnotes, all tables, figures, and appendices but excluding references. On a separate page, indicate the authors’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses and to whom all communications should be directed [Students should also indicate their status and the school in which they are enrolled.]

•         All contributions must be submitted via the conference webpage http://asac2011.uqam.ca/ <http://asac2011.uqam.ca/%20> to the Information Systems Division no later than February 1st, 2011. Late contributions will not be accepted.

•         By submitting a paper, authors are committing to the following ASAC policies:

o  The paper has not been published or presented elsewhere or be under consideration for another conference.

o  Once the paper has been submitted, no changes to authorship are permitted.

o  At least one author will register for the conference by May 1st, 2011. In the absence of this registration, the paper will be removed from the divisional program, the proceedings (if applicable), and consideration for any divisional awards.

o  At least one author of a submitted paper will attend the conference to present their paper, should it be accepted.

Symposia and Professional Development Workshops
Members interested in organizing a symposium (to be held during the regular program) or professional development workshop (to be held on Saturday) should prepare a detailed description of its overall purpose and the specific role of each participant and send it via the conference webpage http://asac2011.uqam.ca/ <http://asac2011.uqam.ca/%20>  to the Information Systems Division no later than February 1st, 2011. The same requirements and blind review procedures apply as for paper submissions.

Poster Session
On the basis of the success of previous poster sessions, ASAC has added All-ASAC poster sessions and the IS Division will participate with poster sessions this year. The poster format will offer authors the opportunity to submit less developed but high-potential ideas. Doctoral student research is particularly encouraged for this session, although all are invited to submit. At the conference, members of the division are encouraged to identify posters in which they have an interest and offer comments and discussion to the author(s).

To participate in the poster session authors should submit a 5-page (maximum) description of the idea. Authors with accepted posters will be responsible to present the research at ASAC in the poster session. This will permit PhD students and other researchers to present their ideas under development to the group in a more relaxed environment. Authors submitting poster session proposals should also append the phrase “Poster Session” to the title of their paper.
