<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">With the advancement of information and communication technologies, there have been massive changes in the ways that people are collaborating. This key trend of collaboration can trace its roots to the increasing usage of e-collaboration through information and communication technologies.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In conjunction with the 2011 International Conference of Information Systems (ICIS), Korean Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) will hold its second Post-ICIS LG CNS/KrAIS Research Workshop immediately after the conference in Shanghai, China. We cordially invite you to submit your paper to the workshop. We are particularly interested in original research work on a broad range of topics on e-collaboration through information </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">and </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">communication technologies</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">However,</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">we welcome papers on any topics related to information systems as the Workshop is </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">not restricted to</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> any specific topics</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We solicit original research and technical papers not published nor submitted elsewhere. Doctoral students and junior faculty members are especially encouraged to submit their research. Student papers will be given special consideration. Selected high quality papers from the workshop proceedings will be </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">invited for a possible </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">fast-track publication in the KMIS’ flagship journal, Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems (APJIS).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Scholarship for Students:<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Through the generous financial support by LG CNS, the KrAIS will award scholarship (US$500 each) to four students. The program co-chairs will select four student papers based on reviewers’ comment and recommendation. Special considerations will be given to those who </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">are</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> the sole or lead author of the paper.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" lang="EN-GB"> <u></u></span></p>
<p><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Background:<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">As a chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) serving AIS members with Korean heritage, Korean Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) aims to promote the scholarship by its members. Any Korean scholars and professionals - both domestic and abroad - who are interested in the development, management, and use of information and communications technology are encouraged to participate. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The objective of the KrAIS Research Workshop is to provide a forum where its members can exchange ideas and information and promote possible collaboration among its members. In particular, the Workshop will focus on helping graduate students and junior faculty improve their research and develop scholarship through close interactions with peers and senior faculty. The workshop will help graduate students and junior faculty publish their research in top-tier scholarly journals and effectively move their careers forward. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Another important objective of the Workshop is to improve the reputation and the impact factor of the KMIS’ flagship journal, Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems (APJIS) through citations and publications. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Format of Workshop:<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In order to facilitate in-depth discussion and exchange of ideas, the Workshop will feature roundtable sessions where five to six authors briefly present their research for about 10 minutes each, followed by questions and discussions. Tables will be organized based on research interests and will be led by two senior scholars who will serve as mentors. All participants are expected to have read all the papers for the table prior to the workshop so that the discussion will focus on how to improve the paper. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">All participants may choose to present or discuss in Korean or English as most KrAIS members are bilingual. However, separate tables will be assigned to the </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">members who can speak only English.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <u></u></span></p>
