[AISWorld] ECIS 2014: full papers, Reasearch in Progress and Prototypes

[C.Avgerou at lse.ac.uk]

Dear colleagues

As the December 8 deadline for ECIS 2014: Digital Work, Digital Life submissions is fast approaching, it is worth noting the following:

*         Numerous tracks (e.g., Advancing Theories and Theorizing, Alternative Genres, Digital Health Initiatives, Human Computer Interaction) have journal sponsorship by which select papers might be eligible for fast-tracking in journals including EJIS, Health Policy and Technology, AIS Transactions of HCI, Annals of Information Systems, and more. Please see individual track descriptions for more details about each track's journal sponsorship:  http://ecis2014.eu/the-tracks/

*         Presentation of Research in Progress (RIP) papers will be either in roundtable or poster form. Both of these presentation modalities are intended to be highly interactive so as to provide authors with lots of feedback that will help them develop their papers further. Clustering these RIP papers into discussion groups with shared interests will be the task of three RIP Track Chairs: Mark Silver, Lior Fink and Steve Alter.

*         The prototype is a new type of paper submission for ECIS. Prototypes are technical solutions (e.g., a piece of software and/or a hardware device) that were developed in response to a specific practical problem. Prototype papers need to provide reviewers with insight into (1) the problem that the system solution addresses, including prototype's design objectives, (2) why this is a problem that requires the development of a new prototype, i.e., why prior theory and practice is not sufficient, (3) what the prototype solution looks like (e.g., images, screenshots), (4) what contribution to extant theory and/or practice this prototype makes (i.e., beyond the prototype itself), and (5) how the authors plan to present the prototype (e.g., what technological infrastructure would be needed).

At ECIS, prototype presentations will take the form of system demonstrations. These demonstrations can be (a) a live demonstration of the technology, (b) videos showing the prototype in use, (c) posters illustrating and explaining the prototype, or (d) any combination of these three modalities.
