[Lapo Mola]

Dear Sirs,
I would like to post the following message to the AISWORLD mailing list:

--------------
MCIS 2014,(www.mcis2014.it)  Verona, 3-5 September 2014: Call for track (http://www.mcis2014.it/tracks.html)

Conference Theme: IS in times of metamorphosIS

Building on the theme “IS in times of metamorphosIS,” MCIS 2014 seeks to make the exploration of the opportunities and challenges associated with the epochal social, political, economic, financial changes in a interconnected world more and more digital. The theme evokes a wide range of research areas, for example, digital innovation and design, mobility-leveraging and location-based business models, big data analytics, and many more. We hereby invite members of the IS community to propose tracks for MCIS 2014

Track Proposals for MCIS 2014 -- Due January 31, 2014

Track proposals should provide a motivation for the track, a brief overview of the research area, sample topics, types of contributions welcomed, and an assessment of the overall appeal to conference attendees. Specifically, track proposals should include:

1) A title for the conference track

2) Names, e-mail addresses, affiliations, phone numbers, website URLs, and short bios of the two to three track co-chairs. Please designate one of the co-chairs as the primary contact person.

3) A short description of the track and its focus: define the proposed area of research, explain why it is important to include it as an MCIS conference track, and discuss the topics the track will address and how they align with the MCIS 2014 conference theme “IS in times of metamorphosIS”.

4) A discussion on what types of contributions are sought for: full research papers or research in progress papers.

5) A list of tentative reviewers for the proposed track (between 5 and 10). Please provide names and affiliations, and indicate whether you have secured their commitment to serving as reviewers  for your track.

6) Any additional information relevant to the evaluation of the track proposal, e.g., the track co-chairs’ prior experience with organizing tracks at other academic conference.

Please submit your track proposals to info at mcis2014.it by January 31, 2014

Notifications of track proposal acceptance will be sent out at the end of February 2014

The submission of MCIS 2014 track proposal implies that pending acceptance the prospective co-chairs agree to the following track chair responsibilities:

1) Promote the track and take sufficient measures to solicit an adequate number of submissions.

2) Organize a peer review cycle for the papers submitted to their track assisted by a set of reviewers. Track chairs will need to recruit reviewers (two/three reviewers for each submission). The reviewing process will be supported by an electronic submission and reviewing system.

3) Propose to the program committee the papers that will eventually be accepted for inclusion into the conference program; and nominate papers for the best paper award

 We look forward to receiving your MCIS 2014 track proposals!

Yours Sincerely
Lapo Mola
