[AISWorld] CFP Pacis 2013: track on Green IT/IS and sustainability

[Chen Adela (Asst Prof)]

PACIS 2013 Track on Green IT/IS and Sustainability
Jeju Island, Korea, June 18th to 22nd, 2013.

Green IT/IS and sustainability have increasingly become important issues for business in this era of climate change and scarce resources. Green IT can be defined as computing technologies that are energy-efficient and have minimal adverse impact on the environment. The salience of technology and systems in shaping organizations and society suggests that green IT/IS is a key component of an organization's environmental initiatives. Furthermore, sustainability is a more important term that encompasses environmental concerns including people, processes, technology, and systems to support individual, organizational, and societal objectives. Beyond the role of reducing the environmental footprint of technologies, green information systems can be initiated, adapted, and implemented to  play a key role in supporting sustainable business practices, e.g., in reducing consumption and facilitating reuse and recycle. This track focuses on the role of IT/IS in supporting sustainability initiatives and in balancing the need for profitability versus the need to address environmental concerns.

We invite contributions from a broad spectrum of disciplines that have interest in green IT/IS and sustainability.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Adoption and impact of green IT/IS and sustainability practices
- Green supply chain management & logistics
