[AISWorld] AMCIS 2015 Call for Papers: Mini-Track on Behavioral Issues in Information Security

[Marett, Kent]

Call for Papers:  Mini-Track:  Behavioral Issues in Information Security

The co-chairs of the Behavioral Issues in Information Security minitrack would like to invite the submission of manuscripts to the 21st Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2015), which will be held at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico from August 13-15, 2015.
The theme for AMCIS 2015 is Blue Ocean IS Research, which encourages novel approaches to investigating IS phenomena.  Individuals who work within organizations have long been tasked with securing information that resides on or is transmitted using rapidly-changing technologies and platforms, with varying degrees of success.  Given that the human element is generally considered to be the weak point in any information security program, can innovative "blue ocean" research help aid our understanding how individuals can avoid becoming a security vulnerability to their organization?  We encourage researchers who are interested in individuals' security behaviors within the changing IS landscape to submit their work to this minitrack.

Topics of research include, but are not limited to, the following:

  *   The impacts of deception on individuals, teams and organizations
  *   Trust and/or abuse of trust in  teams and organizations
  *   The impacts of social engineering on organizations

  *   Trust and assurance in inter-organizational relationships
  *   Insider threats
  *   User compliance with organizational security policies and procedures
  *   User involvement in development and implementation of security programs
  *   Training, education and awareness to improve information assurance
  *   The impact of organization culture on security and privacy
  *   Implications of social media use toward information assurance
  *   The integration of evolving technology, such as mobile devices and cloud-based services, and individual usage with organizational security programs

January 5, 2015:  Manuscript Submission opens
February 25, 2015:  Manuscript Submission closes
