[AISWorld] Call for Papers: ECIS 2018 - Blockchain Research Workshop

[Clohessy, Trevor]

AIS Colleagues,

We invite the submission of extended abstracts for the Blockchain
workshop at the ECIS 2018.

The goal of the workshop is twofold: (1) giving feedback to the authors
and helping them to develop their ideas, and (2) providing networking
and collaboration opportunities? Workshop participants are selected
based on extended abstracts. These abstracts can either be ideas or
suggestions for academic papers or research collaborations. In the
abstract the authors should indicate whether they are interested in
networking or simply want to get feedback on their paper. In either
case, they should provide a concrete idea on the topic they are
interested in. The extended abstracts should not exceed two (2) pages.

The workshop will be restricted to 30 participants. Accepted authors
will be allocated to teams based on similar Blockchain research
interests and situated at roundtables. Initially, the authors will
briefly present an overview of their research.? They will then receive
constructive feedback from both mentors and fellow authors. Mentors and
authors will be free to move from table to table to provide feedback.
The interactive format of the workshop is geared towards providing a
high degree of feedback to authors. Submission should be emailed to trevor.clohessy at nuigalway.ie<mailto:trevor.clohessy at nuigalway.ie> before the closing date.
