[AISWorld] PACIS 2016 - CALL FOR TRACKS: Deadline Extension to June 30, 2015

[She-I Chang]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

 

On behalf of the PACIS 2016 Organizing Committee, we are kindly inviting you
to propose a track session for the 2016 Pacific Asia Conference on
Information Systems (PACIS 2016) on the theme "IT Governance for Future
Society" which will take place in Nice Prince Hotel, Chiayi, Taiwan and
hosted by National Chung Cheng University during 27 June - 1 July 2016.

 

The aim of the PACIS 2016 is to present and discuss current research issues
related to information systems. The theme of these year conference is "IT
Governance for Future Society."As we know, information technology (IT) and
information Systems (IS) are more and more crucial in the creation of value
and management of risk in most enterprises, improving the Governance of
Enterprise Information Technology (GEIT) is widely recognized by top
management as an essential part of enterprise governance. 

 

Information technology has entered almost every aspect of business world and
personal life. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of
uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing
Internet infrastructure. These "smart" devices are found everywhere in our
daily lives and include smart phones, tablets, watches, automobiles with
built-in sensors, etc. Many of the IoT systems and technologies are cutting
edge and there are still numerous technical challenges and issues that need
to be resolved. In addition, the need to drive more value from IT
investments while managing an increasing array of IT-related risks has never
been greater. Today IT is ubiquitous and more than ever, information needs
to be managed in order to maximize IT and IS value. Increasing regulation
and legislation over business use of information is also driving a
heightened awareness of the importance of a well-governed and managed IT
environment. In view of this, the theme of this conference is "IT Governance
for Future Society".

Track Co-Chair Responsibilities

We cordially invite fellow researchers to propose tracks on their particular
field of interest. There should be two or 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 PACIS
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 track associate editors (AEs). Track chairs will
nominate associate editors for the reviewing process, and they will assure
that each paper will receive two or three co-chairs high quality reviews. 

4.      Propose to the program co-chairs those papers that will eventually
be accepted for inclusion into the conference program.

5.      Nominated papers for the Best Paper Award.

6.      Personally (at least one of the track co-chairs should) attend PACIS
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 co-chairs at the end of the conference.

8.      Abstain from submitting to your own track.

 

Structure of Track proposals

Please use the attached template for track proposal.

 

Evaluation of Track proposals

Each proposal will be evaluated by the program co-chairs in cooperation with
the conference co-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 co-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
co-chairs.

 

Submissions

Track proposals should be e-mailed to pacis2016 at ccu.edu.tw or
actsic at ccu.edu.tw before 30 June, 2015. Notifications of acceptance or
rejection of proposed tracks will be sent out in 15 July, 2015. Please note
that in order to ensure interesting and a sufficiently extensive range of
tracks, the PACIS 2016 Program co-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 co-chairs.

 

We thank you for your interest in bringing together a successful conference
of PACIS 2016 and look forward to receiving your PACIS 2016 track proposals.


Sincerely yours,
