Submissions must be in the form of: a completed research paper, a

blinded. Submissions will be blind reviewed by at least two peers. Note

Submission of promising research, in its early stage, should take the form
of a research-in-progress paper and be presented as an extended abstract.
This abstract should include the following sections: research objectives
and questions; theoretical foundations of the study; research methodology
being used; current status of the project, and a description of what the
authors propose to present at the workshop. Note that complete analysis of
results is not required. Research-in-progress papers should be limited to
approximately 4000 words. Panel proposals
Panel proposals should be at least one-page in length and include: a
general description of the topic; details of all potential panelists
(including their name, affiliation, email, and a one paragraph bio); a
statement to the effect that if the panel proposal is accepted, all
panelists have made a commitment to serve on the panel; and a brief
description of each panelists background, expertise and views on the
proposed topic. The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on
Saturday, December 10, 2016, in Dublin, Ireland just before the start of
ICIS 2016. Participants should plan on arriving the day before for an early
start at the
workshop. The customary networking celebration dinner will take place after
the workshop on Saturday evening. The workshop will have a single track to
maximise interaction and participation. Workshop participants, including
presenters and panelists, must pay the registration fee.
