[A.J. Morgan]

UPDATE - Call for Papers - ACM SIGMIS Conference 2013 - Deadline Extended
**DUE NOVEMBER 10, 2012**


Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your manuscripts to ACM SIGMIS Computers & People
Research Conference which will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. We welcome
research and practice submissions that address issues related to the
conference theme of economic renewal and sustainability as it relates to
information technology work. We also welcome submissions about the IT
workforce and human impact topics. (See
http://www.sigmis.org/SIGCPR2013/cpr.html for more details.)


One new feature of the conference that began with SIGMIS CPR 2012 is the
addition of pre-conference professional development panels on Thursday
afternoon, May 30 immediately preceding the opening reception. One panel
will feature editors of IS journals, the other will feature representatives
from industry. Both will discuss topics of research importance in the IS
field, but each from their respective viewpoints.


CONFERENCE THEME


As societies everywhere work to recover from a global economic recession,
cities and regions that are particularly challenged are those whose
economies have historically depended on 19th and 20th century models of
work. Now the economic sustainability of these societies requires that they
reinvent themselves for a 21st century economy that increasingly depends
upon innovation and creative uses of information technology. Of concern to
the SIGMIS CPR community are the implications for IT workforce career paths
in this new economy, the skills and knowledge that will be needed, and
human resource strategies in these economically difficult times.

LIST OF RELEVANT TOPICS


ACM SIGMIS CPR 2013 welcomes research and practice submissions that address
issues related to the conference theme of economic renewal and
sustainability through information technology work. It also welcomes papers
about the IT workforce topics that have traditionally been presented at
this conference. These topics include but are not limited to:
Career development practices of IT professionals
Motivations of computer personnel, professional or occupational commitment
in IT
IT knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the 21st century workplace
IT job roles and profiles
IT work satisfaction and staff turnover
Outsourcing and offshoring IT work
Impact of IT consumerization and mobilization on the IT workforce and user
skills
The roles of culture (organizational, occupational or societal) in IT and
IT work
Diversity issues in the development, attraction and retention of IT
professionals
Impact of the global recession on new models for the recruitment and
retention of the IT labor force
IS curriculum issues and trends
Ethical and security issues in IT use
IT workforce staffing models
Mainframe skills shortage
Responses to the baby boomer retirement and transition
Replication of prior SIGMIS CPR studies
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM


A doctoral consortium will take place on the day prior to the conference.
The consortium is targeted at students in early stages of dissertation
proposal-writing on topics pertaining to CPR to: 1) provide feedback and
guidance on proposals in stages where feedback can be beneficial for future
dissertation work; and 2) provide mentoring and networking opportunities to
students. Doctoral students must be nominated to the consortium by the PhD
advisor. Nominated students should submit a 10-page research proposal
(including all text, figures, and references) to be reviewed by a panel of
highly qualified senior faculty mentors. The 3 to 5 students selected to
participate in the doctoral consortium will receive two rounds of written
feedback on their proposal. Each student will have 40-60 minutes to present
his or her research ideas and receive feedback in-person from 6 to 8
experienced CPR researchers. The due date for consortium submissions is the
same as for papers. A limited number of travel grants are available,
requests for which must be submitted to Doctoral Consortium Chairs.
Non-presenting doctoral students are highly encouraged to participate.
FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS


ACM SIGMIS 2013 welcomes completed research papers, research-in-progress
papers, industry case studies, and proposals for panels. All papers must be
original, unpublished elsewhere, and formatted in the style of MIS
Quarterly. All submissions will be blind reviewed. To facilitate this
process, please ensure that all author information is removed from the
manuscript before uploading.
Papers should be submitted at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmis2013
The review system will open on September 1, 2012.
Completed research papers must not exceed 5000 words or 28 double-spaced
pages including all text, figures, and tables. The cover page, abstract,
keywords, and references are excluded from this page count.
Research-in-progress and replication papers must not exceed 2000 words or
14 double-spaced pages including all text, figures, and tables. The cover
page, abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count.
Panel proposals must include the names and affiliations of panelists who

under development to address CPR issues and should be no longer than 3500
words.
