Call For Minitrack Proposals AMCIS 2019 – System Analysis and Design (SIGSAND)

AMCIS 2019, the 25th Americas Conference on Information Systems, August 15 – 17, 2019, Cancun, Mexico Digital Bridging: The Americas’ New Frontier, https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/

Track: System Analysis and Design (SIGSAND) https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-30

Track Co-Chairs:
Padmal Vitharana (Syracuse University), padmal at syr.edu
Arturo Castellanos (Baruch College), Arturo.Castellanos at baruch.cuny.edu
Jon W. Beard (Iowa State University), jwbeard at iastate.edu

Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the identification, specification, and implementation of an information technology solution.  The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems and, as such, is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline, including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital technologies.  The SIGSAND track provides a forum for discussing research related to systems development tools, methodologies and other activities throughout the systems development life cycle (SDLC). This includes requirements determination, modeling techniques and languages, agile systems development practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user involvement in systems development, open source development, design of systems architecture, and other technical and organizational issues in systems development.  Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Systems Analysis and Design: Methodologies and Processes
* Systems Analysis and Design:  Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages
* Systems Analysis and Design:  Requirements Elicitation, Modeling, and Validation
* Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises
* Microservice-based Development
* Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
* Strategic Software Management:  Issues, Experiences, and Theory
* Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development
* User Participation in Information Systems Development
* Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use (e.g., adoption, information quality)
* Application of SAND concepts and principles beyond IS development (e.g., in data analytics)
* New and Emerging SAND Tools and Approaches

Potential Mini-Tracks:
* Systems Analysis and Design Processes
* Contemporary Issues in Agile Systems Development
* Analysis and Design Methodologies
* Empirical Evaluations of Systems Analysis and Design Methods and Techniques
* User Involvement in Systems Analysis and Design
* Organizational Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
* General Systems Analysis and Design
* Modelling Methods, Techniques, and Languages

Minitrack chairs will be responsible for:
  *   promoting their minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2019;
  *   soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the minitrack; and
  *   making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the minitrack.

To submit a minitrack proposal, you must submit:
  *   Minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation);
  *   Minitrack title;
  *   Short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2019 website (up to 150 words);
