<h1 style="layout-grid-mode:char">The 2014 Workshop<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;layout-grid-mode:char">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The 2014 workshop will be the eighth in a series, begun in 1999 by Kit Dampney at Macquarie University and continued biennially from 2002 at the ANU, focussing on the theoretical foundations of the discipline of information systems.
Previous workshops have generally been regarded by the attendees as great successes since they have combined not only interesting and thought provoking papers that have, in a number of instances, gone on to be published in highly regarded journal outlets,
but also stimulating discussions together with highly enjoyable social programmes to complement the more formal part of the gatherings. Proceedings of previous ANU workshops are still available (see the ANU E-Press website
<a href="http://epress.anu.edu.au/"><span style="color:black">http://epress.anu.edu.au/</span></a>). We anticipate that the 2014 workshop in the Information Systems Foundations series will not only uphold the standard achieved in prior gatherings but also build
on the strengths of previous meetings, resulting in an even better, more stimulating and rewarding experience for all involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;layout-grid-mode:char">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">High quality papers that have not been previously published and are not under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere are solicited for presentation at the 2014 Workshop. Submitted papers will undergo a double-blind
review process, with at least two independent reviewers per paper. Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings on the NCISR web site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm;text-align:justify;layout-grid-mode:char">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Selected papers will be considered for a themed issue of the
<i>Australasian Journal of Information Systems </i>by arrangement with the Editor-in-Chief, Dr John Lamp:
<a href="http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis"><span style="color:black">http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis</span></a>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;layout-grid-mode:char">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">As with the previous Workshops, the focus of this Workshop is on the theoretical foundations of information systems. In particular, for this 2014 Information Systems Foundations Workshop we are looking for papers that focus on
the value and evaluation of information and related theories and theorising in the discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
