[AISWorld] Call for Nominations: INFORMS Information Systems Society Distinguished Fellow Award 2012

[Ravi Bapna]

The Information Systems Society (ISS) supports the intellectual interests
of information systems scholars who are members of INFORMS.  In addition to
providing support for academic forums such as the annual Conference on
Information Systems and Technology (CIST) and the summer Statistical
Challenges in E-Commerce Research (SCECR) conference, the society also
provides support for editorial activities and publication of *Information
Systems Research*.


This is a call for nominations for ISS Distinguished Fellow Awards for
2012. The primary aim of the award is to recognize individuals who have
made outstanding intellectual contributions to the information systems
discipline. The awards committee recognizes the multi-dimensional nature of
intellectual contributions and will pay attention to a variety of scholarly
contributions, including, but not limited to:

1.          Publications that have made a significant impact on theory,
research, and practice.

2.           Intellectual leadership in the discipline as reflected in
editorial appointments, particularly of INFORMS journals.

3.          Intellectual stewardship of the field as reflected in the
mentoring of doctoral students and young researchers

Nominators are encouraged to provide the awards committee with specific
indicators of the nominee's contributions in these and other categories.


An Awards Committee has been formed to recommend candidates for the award
for 2012.  The committee members are Amit Basu (chair, ex officio-ISS),
Prabuddha De, Ramayya Krishnan and Barrie Nault.  At this stage,
nominations for the award are invited from the information systems
community at large.  Though self-nominations are discouraged, anyone can
submit a nomination to the chair of the awards committee by email:
abasu at smu.edu.  The deadline for submission of nominations is *August 15,
2012*.  The nomination should include a brief (not to exceed two pages)
description of the candidate’s achievements and eligibility for the award,
and should be accompanied with a CV and/or a bio. Members of the awards
committee may add other candidates at their discretion and judgment.


The awards committee will deliberate upon the pool of nominees and make
recommendations to the Chair of the Information Systems Society.  Winners
of the award will be informed by September 15, 2012.  The 2012 ISS
Distinguished Fellows will be announced during the Conference on
Information Systems and Technology (CIST) to be held in conjunction with
the INFORMS annual meeting in Phoenix, in October 2012.  A plaque and a
letter from the society will be presented, followed by a reception and
felicitation of the award winners.  It is a condition of the award that the
Fellows be members of the Information Systems Society, and, except for
unusual circumstances approved by the Chair of ISS, remain members of the
Society until they retire from full-time work.
