*Minitrack: Cloud Computing and Sustainability*
Green IS (SIGGREEN)
AMCIS 2023 (
https://amcis2023.aisconferences.org)
Panama City, Panama, August 10-12, 2023
*Call for Papers*
Cloud computing has become one of the top priorities in corporate
IT
investments, which ranges from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
to
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to Business-Process-as-a-Service
(BPaaS). The
cloud migration and cloud transformation have been further fueled
by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond operational benefits of cloud computing,
increasing attention has been paid to the role of cloud computing
in
sustainable businesses. While prior studies in the Green IT/IS
literature
have examined the sustainability implications of IT and IS, cloud
computing
has transformed the way IT resources (both hardware and software)
are
deployed and utilized in business organizations, calling for
research on
cloud computing and sustainability to advance the literature on
Green IT/IS.
This minitrack provides a forum for presenting and discussing
original
research highlighting the opportunities and challenges toward
sustainability related to designing, deploying, and using cloud
computing. We
encourage submissions that address broad topics of Green IT and
Green IS
from the perspectives of not only cloud service providers, but
also cloud
service users and other stakeholders (across various levels
including
individuals, organizations, and countries). In particular, we
welcome
papers focusing on the role of cloud computing in tackling climate
change,
including (i) mitigation (i.e., reducing emissions and enhancing
environmental efficiency) and (ii) adaptation (i.e., adjusting to
the
current and future impacts of climate change). This minitrack
welcomes
empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as
design-oriented
research and conceptual/theoretical papers that leverage the
multiple
perspectives of IS toward sustainability in the era of cloud
computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Sustainability implications of outsourced IT and cloud computing
· Adoption and diffusion of cloud computing by organizations and
individuals to address sustainability concerns
· Use of cloud computing to support sustainable business processes
· Cloud-enabled sustainability strategies
· Cloud computing for climate change adaptation
· Design of cloud-based services and systems with implications for
sustainability
· Sustainability-aware cloud-native application design
· Cloud-based environmental/energy management systems
· Application of cloud computing for sustainability in different
sectors,
such as smart grids, transportation, agriculture, smart
manufacturing,
smart cities, and others
· Public policy related to cloud computing with implications for
sustainability
· Global and cross-border issues in cloud computing and
sustainability
*Important Dates:*
· January 6, 2023: Submission Open at PCS (
https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions)
· March 1, 2023: Submission Deadline (10 am EST)
We look forward to receiving your best work for the minitrack of
*Cloud
Computing and Sustainability*. If you have any questions, feel
free to
