[AISWorld] 1st CfP: WI Workshop on Current Compliance Issues in Information Systems Research (CIISR 2021)

Mon Nov 23 12:39:45 EST 2020

*First International Workshop on Current Compliance Issues in 
Information Systems Research (CIISR 2021) *

/* Apologies for cross-postings */

In conjunction with the /16th International Conference on 
Wirtschaftsinformatik/ (WI2021), the /First International Workshop on 
Current Compliance Issues in Information Systems Research /(CIISR) will 
be held in 2021. We cordially invite you to submit completed research 
papers/complete practical reports (max. 12 pages), research in progress 
papers/short practical reports (max. 6 pages), and/or extended abstracts 
(max. 4 pages) for the workshop.

The COVID-19 pandemic is known to force many conferences to become 
virtual. Unfortunately, this trend did not stop even before the /16th 
International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik/. Therefore, in line 
with the WI2021, the CIISR‘21 workshop will also become entirely virtual!

We look forward to your submissions and your participation!

_*Content Description of CIISR*_

“Compliance“ refers to rule adherence, i.e., acting in accordance with 
applicable rules originating from various sources, including laws, 
standards, contracts, guidelines, etc. [1, 2]. Compliance has been a 
relevant topic in Information Systems Research (ISR) for several 
decades, whose initial focus was primarily on the (semi-)automated 
support in ensuring and validating rule conformity [3–5].

The /First International Workshop on Current Compliance Issues in 
Information Systems Research (CIISR 2021)/ will occur on *March 9th, 
2021*, in conjunction with the /16th International Conference on 
Wirtschaftsinformatik /(WI2021). Based on the conference’s central 
theme–  “Innovation through Information Systems – WI as a trend-setting 
science“ –the workshop will discuss current compliance issues with high 
relevance to the ISR area.

Nowadays, compliance is approached from a variety of different 
perspectives. For instance, as part of information security management, 
it is examined which operational compliance measures result in desired 
employee behavior [6, 7]. In the context of cloud computing, it is 
examined how compliance with service level agreements can be ensured in 
hybrid cloud architectures [8, 9]. In the context of business process 
management, it is examined how the compliance of business processes can 
be ensured sustainably and economically in digitalized and electronic 
markets [10–12]. These and many other current aspects of compliance are 
discussed at the CIISR workshop. The workshop offers scientists, 
practitioners, and further interested parties, a basic program including 
three speeches on current compliance issues in information security, 
cloud computing, and business process management. Furthermore, we 
cordially invite you to submit and present your completed research 
papers, short papers, or extended abstracts relevant to the workshop 
topic. We welcome practical contributions, empirical studies, systematic 
literature analyses, as well as research papers following the design 
science research paradigm.

The *topics of interest* include, but are not limited to:

•    Ensuring compliance with information security policies

    •    Management of data breaches
    •    Effectiveness of information security management standards
    •    Information security under consideration of social factors or
    in cross-organizational contexts
    •    …

•    Compliance issues in cloud contexts

    •    Ensuring compliance despite the use of hybrid clouds
    •    Compliance with service level agreements and qualities of service
    •    …

•     Ensuring business process compliance

    •   Business process compliance in the context of outsourcing or in
    consideration of economic/social factors
    •   Compliance issues related to process mining
    •   …

•    Current issues of IT compliance

    •    The influence of current IT-related legal regulations (e.g.,
    the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the second Payment
    Services Directive (PSD2), etc.) on the operations of companies,
    (government) institutions, …
    •    IT compliance and nudging
    •    …

•    The investigation of compliance issues related to the COVID-19 
pandemic in the ISR sector

Contributions addressing other workshop-relevant topics are also welcome!

_*Format of CIISR*_

The CIISR workshop comprises a total of 3 sessions, each of which is 
introduced by a speech addressing a current compliance issue. The 
speeches deal with current challenges in information security 
compliance, compliance in the context of clouds, and business process 
compliance representing the basic workshop program. The remaining slots 
of the sessions are available for presentations of practical 
contributions and research results from submissions.

The target group of the CIISR workshop includes academics whose research 
focus is on current compliance issues, practitioners working in the 
field of compliance, and all other interested parties. On the one hand, 
the workshop serves to discuss current trends and new research results 
by and with (senior) representatives from science and practice. On the 
other hand, the workshop aims to give young scientists and doctoral 
students the opportunity to present early research results.
*Interested participants can also register for participation in the 
workshop without submitting a contribution. *

*_Submission Types, Submission Instructions, and Formalities_*

We welcome submissions to the CIISR workshop on the above-mentioned 
topics written *in English*. For this purpose, we offer *three 
submission types*:

 1. _Completed research papers/complete practical reports_
    This submission type includes both advanced research with at least
    partial evaluation and comprehensive practical contributions.
 2. _Short papers (research in progress papers/short practical reports)_
    Short papers represent ongoing research or ongoing practical
    projects. In addition to presenting initial results, these papers
    should also contain an outlook on further research or further
    project progress, including planned future work steps.
 3. _Extended abstracts_
    Extended abstracts present and discuss high-quality results of
    already published contributions (or dissertations/postdoctoral
    theses) relevant to the workshop topic.

Completed research contributions and complete practical reports must not 
exceed 12 pages, short papers must not exceed six pages, and extended 
abstracts must not exceed four pages, including title, abstract, 
bibliography, author details, and acknowledgments. Possible appendices 
are _not_ included in the pagination!

When formatting your submissions, please use the official WI2021 
template (https://wi2021.de/?smd_process_download=1&download_id=5114)

Please submit your articles directly via the ConfTool of the WI2021: 
https://www.conftool.com/wi2021/

If you do not yet have an account, you first have to register for the 
ConfTool of the WI2021. Already registered users can log in directly, 
then press “Your Submissions“ and finally select the CIISR Workshop.

Except for extended abstracts, the submission of contributions must be 
made in anonymized form, i.e., all information that would allow the 
authors to be identified must be removed or blinded (e.g., author names, 
citations of preliminary works, project names). Each submission will be 
reviewed double-blind. The authors’ information will be added after the 
acceptance notification.

All accepted contributions will be published in an open-access workshop 
volume and must be presented and discussed by at least one author during 
the CIISR workshop. For completed research papers and complete practical 
reports, a (tentative) presentation time of about 20 minutes and a 
discussion time of about 10 minutes is planned. Short papers and 
extended abstracts will have a (tentative) presentation time of about 15 
minutes and a discussion time of about 5 minutes.

For general questions concerning the workshop or submissions, please 
contact Stephan Kühnel (/stephan.kuehnel at wiwi.uni-halle.de/).
