INFORMS Conference on Information Systems and Technology

San Diego, May 4-5, 1997

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, INFORMS, announces the second Joint Conference on Information Systems and Technology, IS&T, to be held in conjunction with the INFORMS Spring Meeting in San Diego, CA, May 4-5, 1997. The conference is sponsored by the College of Information Systems and the College on Artificial Intelligence. The first IS&T conference was held last Spring at the Washington D.C. meeting and was an overwhelming success. We plan to continue and expand on this success at the San Diego IS&T conference.

The conference will provide a forum for all groups related to information systems and information technology to present and discuss their views, issues, and research results. We invite full papers, extended abstracts, and panel proposals on the wide range of IS&T topics. The following list illustrates, but does not limit, appropriate topics:

All submissions will be refereed by the Program Committee and outside referees. The conference will publish proceedings for full papers and extended abstracts. In addition to paper sessions and panels, there will be several invited speakers and round table sessions on best practices of IS&T. Please adhere to the following timetable for submissions: Please submit five copies of manuscripts to Alan Hevner. The length limit for full papers is 15 pages typed double spaced and for extended abstracts is 5 pages typed double spaced. Manuscript format of the proceedings will follow that of the journal Information Systems Research. For further information and suggestions, please contact one of the co-chairs of the conference:
