Description: 

For the first time in decades Latin America is showing signs of economic
recovery. The region has grown at a steady pace, progress is being made on
poverty levels, and higher incomes have fueled demand for technology which
in turn can have additional benefits to these countries. At the same time
there is great interest in information technology and the positive impacts
that these systems and networks can have on the economy, government and
society. The region is thus well positioned at this point to take
advantage of ICT to enhance productivity, reach higher levels of
competitiveness at the global level, improve government services, and
provide educational opportunities for its population. Latin America is in
a unique position to provide examples about the adoption of information
technology in different regional, cultural, and economic contexts. In this
track we seek to advance the knowledge that scholars studying the region
have to share about the experiences of companies, the public and other
segments of society have had with ICTs.

The track possible topics include: 

Electronic commerce in Latin America and its nations 
Electronic government in Latin America and its nations 
Economic, social, or political aspects of information technology 
Impact of regulation on IT development 
Digital divide in Latin America 
Technology transfer 
Global IT in the region 
Systems design and implementation in Latin America 
Information technology in Latin American education

Quality measures and evaluation of systems

Strategic use of information technology

Languages. 

Papers can be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese, or English. Accepted

of accepted papers in Spanish or Portuguese have the option also to send

alongside the Spanish or Portuguese version.
