Hello everyone,
    
CALL FOR PAPERS

The AIS Special Interest Group for Education:  International Academy for

applications. SIGED sponsors an international conference in December at

discussions are presented. A Best Paper Award is selected and announced in
the conference. 

All papers accepted after a double-blind peer review process will be
published in the conference proceedings CD-ROM and made available in the AIS
e-Library. Other papers, extended abstracts, panel discussions and tutorials
will also be published in the on-line proceedings. Authors of accepted
papers will have the opportunity to make revisions prior to submitting a
final version. Best papers will be fast-tracked for possible publication in
the Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE).
