High-quality research papers are welcome in the following topics:

- Systemic studies on the diverse types of IS (TPS, MIS, OAS, DMSS,
KBS,KMS, IS, ERP, EIS, IOS, BPIS, among others)
- Systemic studies on the diverse types of IT organizational settings
(personal computing, home-based computing, end-user computing, office
computing, corporate computing, inter-organizational computing)
- IT-based system systemic design methodologies
- IT-based system systemic evaluation methodologies
- IT-based system systemic implementation methodologies
- Systemic evaluation and review of IT (technologies, tools,
technological trends)
- International standards and models for IT-based systems and its
relations with systems approach
- Systemic innovative IT-based systems studies addressing real problems
- Challenges and ill-structured worldwide problems linked to IT-based
systems from a systems approach view (green IT, national security, human
rights, global education, mobile education, global economy, interaction
between developed and developing organizations, e-digital gap, service
systems, cultural differences, among others)
- Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for engineering issues for
IT-based systems
- Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for managerial issues for
IT-based systems
- Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for organizational issues
for IT-based systems
- Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems
and software-systems engineering
- Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems
and complex systems
- Systems methodologies for basic and applied research
- Systems methodologies for consulting activities
- IT curriculum systemic studies on undergraduate and graduate programs
- IT systemic studies on accreditation undergraduate and graduate
programs
- IT systemic studies on Faculty issues (tenure promotions, profile of
PhDs, types of institutions (research-oriented vs teaching-oriented ones)
- Multi-method systemic research methods to study IT-based systems
- Debates on research methods and systems approach for IT-based systems
- Philosophical themes related with research methods and systems science
   for IT-based systems*


All topics are expected to be integrated or discussed under the perspective
of the systems approach with the long-term aim of obtaining a unified view
of information systems. As the systems approach is an interdisciplinary
one, the diverse research methods are considered: conceptual, formal
mathematical, systems simulation (discrete, multi-agent, or hybrid),
systems dynamics, soft systems, action research, critical systems, and
multi-methodology.
