>  The 2017 European Conference on Information Systems, to be held in
>  Guimarães, Portugal, will be hosted by the Department of Information
>  Systems of the University of Minho. The theme of the conference:
> “Information Systems for a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive World”
> reflects that information systems (IS) have the potential to enhance
>  the collective intelligence necessary to support a smart, sustainable
>  and inclusive world. Information Systems have been enablers of the (i)
>  sustainable use of scarce resources; (ii) engagement of citizens in
>  the participative and self-organized processes required to improve
>  regions’ resilience and well-being; (iii) innovative business models;
>  (iv) effective use of large amounts of information to support private
>  and public decision making; (v) extension of the human capabilities
>  (physical and cognitive), among many other applications that will
>  contribute to transform human societies.
>
> ECIS 2017 will provide a platform for European and also non-European
>  researchers in the field of IS from various cultures and countries to
>  reflect on the specific and innovative research in information systems
>  dealing with the overarching theme of a Smart, Sustainable and
>  Inclusive World.

>  will be to:
>
>  1) Liaise with the program chairs on all matters that concern ECIS 2017;
>  2) Promote the track and take sufficient measures to ensure an
>  adequate number of submissions;
>  3) Organise a peer review cycle for the papers submitted to your
>  track, assisted by a set of associate editors (AEs). Track chairs will
>  nominate associate editors for the reviewing process, and they will
>  assure that each paper will receive three high quality reviews;
>  4) Propose to the program committee the papers that will eventually be
>  accepted for inclusion into the conference program; nominate papers
>  for the award for best paper;
>  5) Create an attractive track program;
>  6) At least one of the track co-chairs should attend ECIS 2017 and
>  serve as session chair in your track.
>
>  ****************************************
>  Structure of Track proposals
>  ****************************************
>  Track proposals should include:
>
>  1) A title for the track.
>  2) Names, e-mail and mailing addresses, affiliations, phone numbers,
>  urls of website of each of the three to four track co-chairs. Please
>  designate one of the co-chairs as the primary contact person.
>  3) A short description of the track and its focus (maximum length: 500
>  words and about 10 to 15 potential suggested topics): define the
>  proposed area of research; discuss the topics the track will address
>  and how these align with the ECIS 2017 conference theme.
>  4) A discussion on how these topics have recently been covered in
>  other conferences and publications, substantiating that ECIS 2017 will
>  be an appropriate and timely forum for the topics.
>  5) A tentative list of associate editors for the proposed track
>  (between 10 and 15). Please provide names and affiliations, and
>  indicate if they may already have committed themselves to serve as AEs
>  for your track.
>  6) Short bios of each co-track chair including your track record (if
>  any) in organising tracks, or in other academic services in the IS
>  community.
>
>  Track chairs are encouraged to make fast track or special issue
>  arrangements with leading journals that fit the topic of the track.
>
>  ****************************************
>  Evaluation
>  ****************************************
>  Each proposal will be evaluated by the conference chairs in
>  cooperation with the program 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, and the (d)
>  fit with the conference theme.
>
>  The conference 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 will be carried out by the conference chairs in
>  cooperation with both program chairs.
