<strong>Vision<br>
</strong>Today, organizations act in globalized and competitive markets where information technology is the backbone of almost all distributed business processes. Therefore, products and services are increasingly affected by<br>
aspects of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. The information systems’ point of view requires methods and procedures to achieve assurance in information systems. Being not compliant with legal<br>
requirements and internal or cross-organizational policies can cause highly negative impacts. Managing information systems needs to take into account these issues to achieve a sustainable use and adoption of<br>
information technology. IFIP 8.6 Conference 2011 aims at promoting scientific and practical excellence on aspects of transfer and diffusion of information technology and invites academics and practitioners to enhance the knowledge base. The conference will
feature an exciting program that, in addition to the regular paper tracks, will also host a number of other activities and events, including keynotes, panels and a<br>
doctoral consortium.</p>
