submissions (see the info on the website).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Research papers, research-in-progress, and teaching cases will be published in the ECIS conference proceedings and made available in the AIS eLibrary (aisel.aisnet.org/ecis/). Research papers and teaching cases will
be presented in interactive conference track sessions. Research-in-progress papers will be presented in a poster session specifically designed to allow interaction between authors and their interested colleagues.
