CFP Closing Date: 26th July 2013

24th Australasian Conference on Information Systems

Principal Sponsor: National Australia Bank (http://www.nab.com.au)



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.
