SIGGreen Pre-ICIS 2016 Workshop

Workshop Theme: Digital Innovation for Sustainability: Directions for Policy and Practice

SIGGreen is the AIS Special Interest Group on Green Information Systems. SIGGreen provides a platform for those in our discipline who are concerned with how information systems can help reduce human impact on the natural environment - one of the greatest challenge of your time.  SIGGreen recognizes that the Information Systems (IS) discipline can have a central role in creating an ecologically sustainable society  because of the field's five decades of experience in designing, building, deploying, evaluating, managing, and studying information systems to resolve complex problems, SIGGreen's positions are presented in its Statement on Environmental Change(https://siggreen.wikispaces.com/The+Statement-Manifesto).

The SIGGreen Pre-ICIS 2016  workshop is the annual meeting. The workshop provides a forum for the breadth of sustainability research in IS and thus contributes to further developing this important IS research domain.  This year's workshop will also feature a keynote as well as virtual presentations by experts on climate policies.

We invite papers employing a wide variety of methods. Empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development are also welcomed.

Interested authors submit extended abstracts which will be peer-reviewed by at least two expert reviewers. Successful abstracts will be shared with other workshop participants. After the pre-ICIS workshop, authors are invited to submit a final paper incorporating feedback. Workshop papers will be published as workshop proceedings on AIS Electronic Library (AISeL). The proceedings of the 2015 workshop can be accessed at http://aisel.aisnet.org/sprouts_proceedings_siggreen_2015/.
