[AISWorld] Call For Mini-Track Proposals: AMCIS 2023 Theme Track: Diving Into Uncharted Waters

[Vikas Jain]

Dear Colleagues,



It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your mini-track proposals for the conference theme track at AMCIS 2023, "Diving Into Uncharted Waters." AMCIS 2023 will be held on August 10-12, 2023 in Panama City, Panama.



Conference Theme Track: Diving into Uncharted Waters



This track serves as the platform to explore and discuss innovative ideas which are either at a conceptual or a proof-of-concept stage. Information technology and its applications are evolving at a speed never witnessed before. To stay at the helm of technological innovation, industries must continuously experiment, adapt, and integrate ongoing technological advances into their business processes. IS research also needs to keep pace with this astronomical pace of technological development by extending its focus to new ideas and applications. Consistent with the theme of the conference, this track invites research papers and proposals that dive into uncharted waters, either from an application or a methodological standpoint.



We believe that it is perhaps the right time to investigate the potential of emerging technologies such as computer vision, digital twins, edge computing, Internet of behaviors (IOB), or robotics. In addition, rapid advances in computing and analytical ability empowers us with fresh tools that can help us push the methodological frontiers to address the issues of future. For example, machine learning is not only an industrial application but can also serve as a sophisticated analytical tool.



Our objective in this track is to push the application and investigation of emerging IS issues that will establish new pathways for future IS research. Any research focusing on cutting edge information technologies (nascent or emergent) or exploring applications in areas never considered before is welcome. This track also provides a forum for special interest groups who are still in the process of developing their interest areas. We welcome mini-tracks with focus on nascent and emerging areas of interest for IS research, both from application and methodological standpoint. The mini-tracks from emerging SIG areas of interest are also welcome.



Mini-track chairs will be responsible for:



  *   Promoting their mini-track to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2023;

  *   Soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the mini-track; and

  *   Making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the mini-track.
