Call for papers: ===========

Papers (Completed research and Research-in-progress) are solicited. AMCIS recognizes the value of papers on technical, organizational, learning, curriculum and professional development topics, as well as papers taking conceptual, theoretical, empirical, or practical approaches. The deadline for submitting papers is March 15th, 2002.

Mini-tracks are the predominant method for organizing topics at AMCIS conferences. Mini-tracks are an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to focus on sub-topics of specific interest, and to foster cohesive and interactive sessions. Because of the large number of mini-tracks, related mini-tracks have been grouped into categories.

The AMCIS conference program uses a centralized electronic submission system to distribute papers to the appropriate mini-track chair(s) for review. Mini-track chair(s) handle the reviewing process and are responsible for the acceptance of papers with minimal oversight from the program co-chairs. Mini-tracks may have slightly difference submission requirements so authors should locate the appropriate mini-track for their paper below and carefully examine the call for papers to that mini-track. Authors are encouraged to contact the mini-track chair for help with submission and to answer questions.
