[Feller, Joseph]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite minitrack proposals for the IS and Open Research and Practice (SIGOPEN) track at AMCIS 2016.

In line with the mission of SIGOPEN, this track will bring together researchers to share new theoretical and empirical research on the wide range of phenomena emerging from the intersection of Information Systems on the one hand, and various forms of legal, technological and organizational openness, on the other.

Some possible themes for minitracks include, but are not limited to:

  *   Open Source Software: Past, Present, and Future
  *   Beyond Software: Peer Production of Hardware, Design and Content
  *   Wisdom of Crowds: Open Innovation and Collective Intelligence
  *   Wealth of Crowds: Crowdfunding and Collective Resources
  *   Power of Crowds: Crowdsourcing and Collective Action
  *   The Citizen Crowd: Cyberdemocracy and Global Social Action
  *   Open Research: Open Data and Citizen Science
  *   Open Scholarship: Open Access Publications and Open Courseware

See submission details below.

Feel free to contact any of the track chairs to discuss your ideas for minitracks:
