ECIS 2016 CALL FOR TRACKS

  INFORMATION SYSTEMS AS A GLOBAL GATEWAY - 12-15 JUNE 2016 IN BOĞAZİÇİ
UNIVERSITY, ISTANBUL-TURKEY
    24th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS

http://www.ecis2016.eu/en/Call-For-Tracks.html

The aim of the ECIS 2016 is  to present and debate current research issues
related to information systems. The  theme of the conference: "Information
Systems as a Global Gateway” reflects  that information systems are
electronic environments that get things,  people, organizations, countries
and societies connected. In this way,  information systems could be seen as
the modern virtual counterpart to the host  city of Istanbul, which is
located at the gateway between Europe and the Middle  East and Asia.
Istanbul is a city that has linked people, cultures and  civilizations over
several millennia.

Track Co-Chair Responsibilities

We cordially invite fellow  researchers to propose tracks on their
particular field of interest. There  should be two/three co-chairs in each
track and one of the co-chairs should be  designated as the primary contact
person. The responsibilities of the co-chairs  will be to:
1. Liaise with the program chairs  on all matters that concern ECIS 2016
2. Promote the track and take  sufficient measures to ensure an adequate
number of submissions
3. Organize a peer review cycle  for the papers submitted to your track,
assisted by a set of (at least 15) track  associate editors (AEs). Track
co-chairs will nominate track associate editors  for the reviewing process,
and they will assure that each paper will receive two/three  high quality
reviews. 
4. Propose to the program chairs  those papers that will eventually be
accepted for inclusion into the conference  program
5. Nominate papers for the best paper  award
6. Personally (at least one of the  track co-chairs should) attend ECIS 2016
and serve as session chair in the  proposed track session(s)
7. Summarize the key insights  presented at your track and submit to the
program chairs at the end of the  conference
8. Abstain from submitting to your  own track.

Evaluation of Track  proposals

Each proposal will be evaluated by the program  chairs in cooperation with
the research and research in progress chairs.  Decisions will be based on
(a) the overall merit of the proposal, (b) the  significance of the subject
covered, (c) the profile and diversity of the track  team.

 The program chairs will select tracks with  the objective being to (a)
balance the more traditional IS topics with emerging  topics, and (b) to
support diversity of chairs and AEs in gender, experience,  and geographical
background. If needed, track proposals might be merged in order  to obtain
the best possible coverage of topics and the best mix of track  chairs.

 Evaluations of best paper award nominates will  be carried out by the
program chairs.

Submissions

Track proposals should be e-mailed to  track-proposals at ecis2016.eu as soon
as possible but no later than March 6th,  2015. Notifications of acceptance
or rejection of proposed tracks will be sent  out in April 27th, 2015.

 Please once again note that in order to  ensure interesting and a
sufficiently extensive range of tracks, the ECIS 2016  Program Chairs might
approach you with a suggestion to modify your track  proposal. In case there
are proposals for identical or similar topics, the program  co-chairs might
ask you to consider joining forces with another group. Track  proposals that
do not meet the criteria can be directly rejected by the program  chairs.

 We look  forward to receiving your ECIS 2016 track proposals!

 On  behalf of the ECIS 2016 team
