The 25th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2017) -
Information Systems for a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive World
5 – 10 June 2017 in Guimarães, Portugal
The PDF version is here: http://ecis.dsi.uminho.pt/Documents/ECIS2017_CfT.pdf
The 2017 European Conference on Information Systems, to be held in
Guimarães, Portugal, will be hosted by the Department of Information
Systems of the University of Minho. The theme of the conference:
“Information Systems for a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive World”
reflects that information systems (IS) have the potential to enhance
the collective intelligence necessary to support a smart, sustainable
and inclusive world. Information Systems have been enablers of the (i)
sustainable use of scarce resources; (ii) engagement of citizens in
the participative and self-organized processes required to improve
regions’ resilience and well-being; (iii) innovative business models;
(iv) effective use of large amounts of information to support private
and public decision making; (v) extension of the human capabilities
(physical and cognitive), among many other applications that will
contribute to transform human societies.
ECIS 2017 will provide a platform for European and also non-European
researchers in the field of IS from various cultures and countries to
reflect on the specific and innovative research in information systems
dealing with the overarching theme of a Smart, Sustainable and
Inclusive World.
****************************************

Track Chair Responsibilities
****************************************
We cordially invite fellow researchers to propose tracks on their
particular field of interest. Your responsibilities as a track chair
will be to:
1) Liaise with the program chairs on all matters that concern ECIS 2017;
2) Promote the track and take sufficient measures to ensure an
adequate number of submissions;
3) Organise a peer review cycle for the papers submitted to your
track, assisted by a set of associate editors (AEs). Track chairs will
nominate associate editors for the reviewing process, and they will
assure that each paper will receive three high quality reviews;
4) Propose to the program committee the papers that will eventually be
accepted for inclusion into the conference program; nominate papers
for the award for best paper;
5) Create an attractive track program;
6) At least one of the track co-chairs should attend ECIS 2017 and
serve as session chair in your track.
****************************************
Structure of Track proposals
****************************************
Track proposals should include:
1) A title for the track.
2) Names, e-mail and mailing addresses, affiliations, phone numbers,
urls of website of each of the three to four track co-chairs. Please
designate one of the co-chairs as the primary contact person.
3) A short description of the track and its focus (maximum length: 500
words and about 10 to 15 potential suggested topics): define the
proposed area of research; discuss the topics the track will address
and how these align with the ECIS 2017 conference theme.
4) A discussion on how these topics have recently been covered in
other conferences and publications, substantiating that ECIS 2017 will
be an appropriate and timely forum for the topics.
5) A tentative list of associate editors for the proposed track
(between 10 and 15). Please provide names and affiliations, and
indicate if they may already have committed themselves to serve as AEs
for your track.
6) Short bios of each co-track chair including your track record (if
any) in organising tracks, or in other academic services in the IS
community.
Track chairs are encouraged to make fast track or special issue
arrangements with leading journals that fit the topic of the track.
****************************************
Evaluation
****************************************
Each proposal will be evaluated by the conference chairs in
cooperation with the program chairs. Decisions will be based on (a)
the overall merit of the proposal, (b) the significance of the subject
covered, (c) the profile and diversity of the track team, and the (d)
fit with the conference theme.
The conference chairs will select tracks with the objective being to
(a) balance the more traditional IS topics with emerging topics, and
(b) to support diversity of chairs and AEs in gender, experience, and
geographical background. If needed, track proposals might be merged in
order to obtain the best possible coverage of topics and the best mix
of track chairs.
Evaluations will be carried out by the conference chairs in
cooperation with both program chairs.

Submissions
****************************************
Track proposals should be e-mailed to track-proposals@ecis2017.eu as
soon as possible but no later than March 5th, 2016, 12pm CET.
Notifications of acceptance or rejection of proposed tracks will be
sent out in May 15th, 2016.
Please once again note that in order to ensure interesting and a
sufficiently extensive range of tracks, the ECIS 2017 Conference
Chairs might approach you with a suggestion to modify your track
proposal. In case there are proposals for identical or similar
topics, the committee might ask you to consider joining forces with
another group. Track proposals that do not meet the criteria can be
directly rejected by the organizers.
