[AISWorld] Call for Papers - ACM SIGMIS Conference 2013

[A.J. Morgan]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your manuscripts to ACM SIGMIS Computers &
People Research Conference which will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. We
welcome research and practice submissions that address issues related
to the conference theme of economic renewal and sustainability as it
relates to information technology work. We also welcome submissions
about the IT workforce and human impact topics. (See
http://www.sigmis.org/SIGCPR2013/cpr.html for more details.)

One new feature of the conference that began with SIGMIS CPR 2012 is
the addition of preconference professional development panels on
Thursday afternoon, May 30 immediately preceding the opening
reception. One panel will feature editors of IS journals, the other
will feature representatives from industry. Both will discuss topics
of research importance in the IS field, but each from their respective
viewpoints.
