*24th Australasian Conference on Information Systems*


The Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) is the premier
conference in Australasia for Information Systems academics and
professionals, covering technical, organizational, business, and social
issues in the
application of Information Technology. In 2013, the ACIS Conference will be
hosted by the School of Business Information Technology and Logistics at
RMIT University. The event will take place at the City Campus of the
University in the new Swanston Academic Building from 4-6 December, 2013.
The Swanston Academic Building is located right in the middle of
Melbourne’s CBD.

*Conference Theme: Information Systems: Transforming the Future*

Information systems is a discipline that is built on the foundations of
other disciplines bringing together information technology, management,
business, sociology, cognitive science and a host of elements from
elsewhere. This gives it the breadth of knowledge and capabilities to place
it on the leading edge of the many transformations of the future that the
21st century has already started to see. Three areas in which these
transformations will be of particular interest and relevance are:

Transforming Business
Despite change in the business world being driven by information technology
since the 60s, it seems inevitable that business will be transformed
dramatically over the next generation by the use of information technology.
The information systems discipline is strategically placed to be a leader
in that transformation.

Transforming Education
Information systems academics have been leading the way in the use of the
Web and social media for the last 20 years and with the advent of the
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), information systems academics can
continue to be at the forefront of using information systems in tertiary
education.

Transforming the Discipline
Information systems academics are not immune to the need to transform the
future. The discipline needs to adopt the process and the pace of social
media and move to be on the Internet time as opposed to the traditionally
scholarly time and use the capabilities provided by the Internet to extend
and develop the discipline as a community.
