[AISWorld] Final Call for Mini-Track Proposals - Systems Analysis and Design Track - AMCIS 2020

[Beard, Jon W [ISBA]]

We invite the submission of mini-track proposals on Systems Analysis and Design to the 2020 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, August 12-16, 2019.  The Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) track is sponsored by SIGSAND (the Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design) in AIS.



Mini-track proposals are due by October 18, 2019, and must be submitted through the PCS system (instructions attached).



The conference theme for AMCIS 2020 is “A Vision for the Future.”



Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the identification, specification, and implementation of an information technology solution.  The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems.  Therefore, systems analysis and design is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline, including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital technologies.  The SIGSAND track provides a forum for discussing research related to systems development tools, methodologies and other activities throughout the systems development life cycle (SDLC). This includes requirements determination, modeling techniques and languages, agile systems development practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user involvement in systems development, open source development, design of systems architecture, and other technical and organizational issues in systems development.  Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:



  *   Systems Analysis and Design:  Methodologies and Design Processes
  *   Systems Analysis and Design:  Empirical Evaluations, Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages
  *   Systems Analysis and Design:  Requirements Elicitation, Modeling, and Validation
  *   Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises
  *   Micro-service-based Development
  *   Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
  *   Strategic Software Management:  Issues, Experiences, and Theory
  *   Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development
  *   User Participation and Involvement in Information Systems Development
  *   Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use (e.g., adoption, information quality)
  *   Application of SAND concepts and principles beyond IS development (e.g., in data analytics)
  *   Organizational Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
  *   General Systems Analysis and Design
  *   New and Emerging SAND Tools and Approaches

Mini-tracks can be proposed that focus on these topics or on other SAND-related topics.

If accepted, mini-track chairs are expected to:



  1.  Promote their mini-track to generate manuscript submissions to the conference
  2.  Solicit and assign reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the mini-track
  3.  Provide a summary report to authors based on reviews
  4.  Make recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the mini-track
  5.  Nominate best papers and reviewers



Mini-tracks are managed by conference tracks, such as Systems Analysis and Design.  When submitting a mini-track proposal, you will need to identify a related track for your mini-track topic.
