********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 31, 2012 ********************************************************************* International Journal of Information Technologies and the Systems Approach (IJITSA)(an official publication of the Information Resources Management Association). IJITSA Website: www.igi-global.com/ijitsa ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION OF IJITSA Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach. The primary objective of IJITSA is to disseminate and discuss high quality research results on information systems and related upper and lower level systems as well as on its interactions with software engineering, systems engineering, complex systems and philosophy of systems sciences issues, through rigorous theoretical, modeling, engineering or behavioral studies in order to explore, describe, explain, predict, design, control, evaluate, interpret, intervene and/or develop organizational systems where information systems are the main objects of study and the systems approach ? any variant ?is the main research method and philosophical stance used. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MAIN TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following:
? Systemic studies on the diverse types of IS (TPS, MIS, OAS, DMSS, KBS, KMS, IS, ERP, EIS, IOS, BPIS, among others) ? Systemic studies on the diverse types of IT organizational settings (personal computing, home-based computing, end-user computing, office computing, corporative computing, inter-organizational computing) ? IT-based system systemic design methodologies ? IT-based system systemic evaluation methodologies ? IT-based system systemic implementation methodologies ? Systemic evaluation and review of IT (technologies, tools, technological trends) ? International standards and models for IT-based systems and its relations with systems approach ? Systemic innovative IT-based systems studies addressing real problems ? Challenges and ill-structured worldwide problems linked to IT-based systems from a systems approach view (green IT, national security, human rights, global education, mobile education, global economy, interaction between developed and developing organizations, e-digital gap, service systems, cultural differences, among others) ? Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for engineering issues for IT-based systems ? Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for managerial issues for IT-based systems ? Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for organizational issues for IT-based systems ? Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems and software-systems engineering ? Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems and complex systems ? Systems methodologies for basic and applied research ? Systems methodologies for consulting activities ? IT curriculum systemic studies on undergraduate and graduate programs ? IT systemic studies on accreditation undergraduate and graduate programs ? IT systemic studies on Faculty issues (tenure promotions, profile of PhDs, types of institutions (research-oriented vs teaching-oriented ones) ? Multi-method systemic research methods to study IT-based systems ? Debates on research methods and systems approach for IT-based systems ? Philosophical themes related with research methods and systems science for IT-based systems ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Interested authors please send your article to [ijitsa@gmail.com] in two files: cover page file with full author's affiliation data, and full article file without author's data. All article submissions will managed by the Associate Editor most adequate by the article's topic among Information Technology Systems, Software Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering or Philosophy of Systems Science areas. The article will be reviewed by three members of the ERB through a double-blind peer review process. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IJITSA CORE EDITORIAL TEAM
