<p class=MsoNormal><b>15th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems
(PACIS) 2011<br>
</b><b>- Call for Workshops and Tutorials -<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><br>
</b>Brisbane, Australia<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS)
is the main international Information Systems (IS) conference and the only AIS
sponsored conference in the Pacific Asia Region. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PACIS 2011 will run for three days preceded by a Doctoral
Consortium and relevant meetings. The main conference is being hosted by the
Information Systems Program of the Faculty of Science and Technology at
Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and the Doctoral Consortium by
University of Queensland (UQ). QUT is located in the Central Business District
of Brisbane, with UQ 8 kilometres upriver by ferry. Brisbane is the fastest
growing city in Australia and one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in
the western world. With 1.7 million people, Brisbane offers the infrastructure
and facilities of a global metropolitan hub. One hour from the Gold Coast and
just south of the Barrier Reef, Brisbane is within easy reach of rain forest,
pristine beaches and much more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Conference Theme: is “<b><i>Quality IS Research in
Pacific</i> <i>Asia</i></b>”, emphasizing the growing importance of the
region as a source of internationally recognised top-tier research in
Information Systems, and the growing recognition of value from IS contributions
and developments beyond the discipline.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We now invite submissions for <b>workshop</b> and <b>tutorial</b>
proposals to be included in the PACIS 2011 Conference Program.
Workshops/tutorials are meant to facilitate the focused exchange of ideas and
experiences between researchers, and to stimulate discussions on emerging IS
issues and the related challenges. In line with the conference theme of
“Quality IS Research in Pacific Asia”, workshops/tutorials concentrate
in-depth on new or promising research topics, or on promoting rigor in
qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are particularly
encouraged. Proposals for half-day or one-day workshops are requested.<o:p></o:p></p>
