For additional information about submission, please contact conference
program co-chairs by e-mail: Roya Gholami (rghol2 at uis.edu) and/or Fiona

To increase access to the conference, a small number of participants from
outside the United States will be able to present their papers remotely and
interact with the audience. The keynote sessions and several other sessions
will be live streamed for individuals who attend the conference remotely.

Student Support

MWAIS will waive the registration fee for students whose papers are
accepted and who will be presenting at the conference (one student per
paper).

Submission Guidelines

We invite submissions of completed manuscripts, research-in-progress
papers, panel proposals, and workshop proposals addressing behavioral,
organizational, and technical aspects of information systems. Two to three
parallel sessions are planned. A computer lab will be available if needed.
Submitted papers and proposals will undergo a double blind review process
by at least two reviewers. To facilitate the blind review, include the
title of the paper, names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and phone
numbers of all authors on a cover page submitted as a separate document
from the body of the manuscript. Include only the title of the paper at the
beginning of the manuscript. In the case of multiple-authorship, designate
the corresponding author with a footnote on the cover page. Please do not
include any author or affiliation identification on any page (except the
separate cover page), in headings/footers, or in the properties of the
submitted file. Previously published work or  work under review elsewhere
is not eligible for submission.

The proceedings will be available through the Association for Information
Systems Electronic Library (AIS e-Library). At least one author of each
accepted paper must register for the conference no later than April 10,
2017, in order for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

Full Length Submissions

You may submit a full length (not to exceed six single-spaced pages with
approximately 2,500 words, including all figures, tables, appendices, and
references), original, and previously unpublished manuscript. The research
may be conceptual, empirical, or applied. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings in their entirety. Select papers included in
the MWAIS 2017 conference will be considered for an expedited review
process and possible inclusion in the:

Journal of the Midwest Association for Information Systems (JMWAIS) [
http://www.jmwais.org<http://www.jmwais.org/]http://www.jmwais.org<
http://www.jmwais.org/>

In addition, the top three conference papers will be awarded best paper
awards sponsored by the Midwest Association for Information Systems.
Authors of these papers who choose to submit their papers to the JMWAIS
will be awarded a monetary prize if their paper is published in JMWAIS and
these papers will undergo an expedited review process by the journal.

Research-in-Progress Submissions

You may submit research-in-progress proposals (abstracts) or a summary of
tentative results of the study to date in 500-1000 words. Authors of
accepted proposals are asked to forward a 1500-2000 word paper with a
maximum of 2 figures/tables for inclusion in the conference proceedings.

Panel, Workshop, and Tutorial Submissions

Individuals interested in conducting a panel, workshop, or tutorial dealing
with technological, managerial, professional, teaching, societal, national
or international issues of information technology management are invited to
submit a 500-1000 word proposal covering the objectives, issues to be
covered, and the names/addresses of any other panel, workshop, or tutorial
members. The method of presentation is at the submitter's discretion.
However, the submitter has the responsibility for providing his/her own
