<p class=MsoNormal>The 20th Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and
Systems will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on December 11-12, 2010, just
prior to the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The
purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum <span class=il>for</span>
discussion and interaction among scholars with research<br>
interests in the cutting edge issues of information technology and systems. The
theme of the conference will be  "Creating Value Through
Collaboration".<br>
<br>
>From a business perspective, information technology is consistently a major
driving factor behind the biggest threats and the biggest opportunities an
organization faces.  As technology and software become more commoditized,
the challenge is to create superior value though innovative use of technology. 
Collaboration holds the promise to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and IT
is the key enabler of this revolution.  The objective is to simultaneously
create a sustainable competitive advantage and lower costs.  Collaborative
IT innovations currently center on such themes as social networking, knowledge
management, and service-oriented technologies.  Within these broad classes
of technologies, we find both established and emerging fields of study. 
Since it is a workshop, <span class=il>WITS</span> actively solicits <span
class=il>papers</span> describing novel research ideas that may be at a
relatively early stage of development.  Thus, the conference theme is
inclusive and engages research in a wide range of topics, including the
following: <o:p></o:p></p>
