Workshops should facilitate the focused exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers, and stimulate discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the conference theme. Workshops may concentrate on research topics, or may also be devoted to issues such as applications, standardization, or curriculum development. Workshops will provide the opportunity to generate output for general distribution to the IS community. Panel discussions will allow for the open conversation of topics related and relevant to the ACIS conference theme among a group of experts. The conference organizers are able to facilitate contacts to local industry representatives, if this is of interest for the organizer of a workshop or panel.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Philip Seltsikas & Deborah Bunker (Conference Co-Chairs) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>DEBORAH BUNKER PhD MCom (Hons) BA</span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>| Associate Professor</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>Discipline of Business Information Systems | <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY BUSINESS SCHOOL<br></span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>Rm 421 </span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'>| H69 | The University of Sydney | NSW | 2006 <b><br>T</b> +61 2 9351 7109 | <b>F</b> +61 2 9351 7294 <br><b>E</b> <a href="mailto:deborah.bunker@sydney.edu.au" title="mailto:deborah.bunker@sydney.edu.au"><b><span style='color:blue'>deborah.bunker@sydney.edu.au</span></b></a> | <b>W</b> <a href="http://sydney.edu.au/business/bis" title="http://sydney.edu.au/business/bis"><b><span style='color:blue'>http://sydney.edu.au</span></b></a></span><b><u><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>/business/bis</span></u></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>22nd Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS 2011) </span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.acis2011.org/" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>www.acis2011.org</span></a></span><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Identifying the Information Systems Discipline <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>University of Sydney, 30 November - 2 December 2011</span></b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#4D4D4D'><br><br>CRICOS 00026A<br>This email plus any attachments to it are confidential.
