Call for Papers


TAKE IS/ML for Business and Society: Transparent, Accountable, Kind, and Efficient IS/ML for Business and Society


The recent advancement of information technology has enabled artificial intelligence to rival and, in some cases, surpass human intelligence.   Our daily life becomes increasingly empowered while threatened at the same time by artificial intelligence and machine learning; new economic and social paradigm also began to emerge.  As we approach this critical junction, CIST 2018 calls for innovative ideas on the transformational power of information technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning on individual behavior, business strategies, economic relationships, and social changes.  We also call for innovative ideas on new interplay between machine and human as well as new ways to address challenges and threats brought by the new machine age.

We invite original research in all areas of Information Systems and related fields that seek to address issues related to the conference theme. The CIST 2018 co-chairs are Vibhanshu Abhishek, Pei-yu Chen, Bin Gu, Kevin Hong, Dokyun Lee, Xinxin Li, and John Zhang.
