This abstract should include the following sections: research objectives
and questions; theoretical foundations of the study; research methodology
being used; current status of the project, and a description of what the
authors propose to present at the workshop. Note that complete analysis of
results is not required. Research-in-progress papers should be limited to
approximately 4000 words.

Panel proposals
Panel proposals should be at least one-page in length and include: a
general description of the topic; details of all potential panelists
(including their name, affiliation, email, and a one paragraph bio); a
statement to the effect that if the panel proposal is accepted, all
panelists have made a commitment to serve on the panel; and a brief
description of each panelists background, expertise and views on the
proposed topic.

The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Saturday, December 12,
2015, in Fort Worth, Texas just before the start of ICIS 2015. Participants
should plan on arriving the day before for an early start at the workshop.

interaction and participation. Workshop participants, including presenters
and panelists, must pay the registration fee.
