*E-Collaboration through Information Communication Technologies*

**

*Shanghai, China - December 7, 2011*

With the advancement of information and communication technologies, there have been massive changes in the ways that people are collaborating. This key trend of collaboration can trace its roots to the increasing usage of e-collaboration through information and communication technologies.

In conjunction with the 2011 International Conference of Information Systems (ICIS), Korean Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) will hold its second Post-ICIS LG CNS/KrAIS Research Workshop immediately after the conference in Shanghai, China. We cordially invite you to submit your paper to the workshop. We are particularly interested in original research work on a broad range of topics on e-collaboration through information and communication technologies.However,we welcome papers on any topics related to information systems as the Workshop is not restricted toany specific topics.

We solicit original research and technical papers not published nor submitted elsewhere. Doctoral students and junior faculty members are especially encouraged to submit their research. Student papers will be given special consideration. Selected high quality papers from the workshop proceedings will be invited for a possible fast-track publication in the KMIS? flagship journal, Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems (APJIS).

*Scholarship for Students:*

Through the generous financial support by LG CNS, the KrAIS will award scholarship (US$500 each) to four students. The program co-chairs will select four student papers based on reviewers? comment and recommendation. Special considerations will be given to those who arethe sole or lead author of the paper.

*Background:*

As a chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) serving AIS members with Korean heritage, Korean Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) aims to promote the scholarship by its members. Any Korean scholars and professionals - both domestic and abroad - who are interested in the development, management, and use of information and communications technology are encouraged to participate.

The objective of the KrAIS Research Workshop is to provide a forum where its members can exchange ideas and information and promote possible collaboration among its members. In particular, the Workshop will focus on helping graduate students and junior faculty improve their research and develop scholarship through close interactions with peers and senior faculty. The workshop will help graduate students and junior faculty publish their research in top-tier scholarly journals and effectively move their careers forward.

Another important objective of the Workshop is to improve the reputation and the impact factor of the KMIS? flagship journal, Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems (APJIS) through citations and publications.

*Important Dates:*

Submission Deadline: September 14, 2011

Notification of Acceptance: October 31, 2011

Workshop: December 7, 2011

*Submission:*

Authors are encouraged to submit either complete research or research-in-progress paper complying with ICIS 2011 formatting requirements (http://icis2011.aisnet.org/template_submissions2011.doc). All submissions must be either in English or in Korean. If you want to submit paper in Korean, please submit a two-page extended abstract in English as well.

Authors who are interested in participating in the workshop need to submit paper by September 14, 2011 to Dan J.

All authors should agree to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested.

*Format of Workshop:*

In order to facilitate in-depth discussion and exchange of ideas, the Workshop will feature roundtable sessions where five to six authors briefly present their research for about 10 minutes each, followed by questions and discussions. Tables will be organized based on research interests and will be led by two senior scholars who will serve as mentors. All participants are expected to have read all the papers for the table prior to the workshop so that the discussion will focus on how to improve the paper. All participants may choose to present or discuss in Korean or English as most KrAIS members are bilingual. However, separate tables will be assigned to the members who can speak only English.

*Time and Venue:*

The Workshop will be held from 12:30pm to 5 pm on December 7, 2011 in the ICIS conference hotel. Immediately following the Workshop, the KrAIS business meeting and dinner will be held from 6 to 8 pm. We ask current and future KrAIS members stay an extra day to support the new initiative by KrAIS.
