Dear Colleague,

Please consider submitting a paper to ISECON 2016 this year.  The ISECON
conference has provided a wonderful opportunity for CIS, MIS, IT, and CS
faculty members from a wide variety of institutions – including
international attendees – to gather, share experiences, and learn from each
other since 1982.  We continue that legacy of delivering a collegial
environment for intellectual and professional growth this year in the
"Steel City" of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the historic Omni William Penn
Hotel.

More information about the conference, including the Call for Papers and
the online paper submission facility, can be found at:
