-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call For Papers - Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice - Oct 23-24, Kennesaw State University, GA Date: Tue, 26 May 2020 18:22:06 +0000 From: Michael Whitman mwhitman@kennesaw.edu To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

From the Conference Committee:

In the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are anticipating holding a physical conference here at KSU on October 23 and 24, but as we finalize Principles of Incident Response & Disaster Recovery, 3rd edition for our publisher – Cengage Learning, we are realistic about the need for contingency planning. Therefore, we have the following plans in place:

* The preferred option, of course is a traditional physical conference, the same as last year. On Friday, October 23rd, we would host a series of industry day panels and presentations, open to all conference attendees, and to the KSU community as part of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. On Saturday, October 24th, we would host the conference proper for paid attendees only. * As a contingency, we will plan to make the entire event virtual if needed - following the AIS model. We will make the call by September 1st as to whether or not we need to do this. IF we do go virtual, each presenter will be asked to record their presentation and be prepared to present it during their session, followed by a live Q&A – with questions submitted by Webex chat. Each track will be assigned a WebEx session, and attendees can jump between tracks at will. A moderator will keep things on schedule. Additional details will be provided if we must go this route. If we go virtual the conference registration fees will be substantially lower. Since we can’t determine which rate will apply until we make the call as to whether or not we will need to go virtual, we won’t open registration up until that time.

In either event we need a good showing of papers to continue forward with the conference. As always, the best papers will be invited to submit to the Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research, and Practice, and all authors are expected to review other papers for the conference.

Please submit a paper, and commit to supporting the conference. One way or another, we'll see you then!

On behalf of the conference committee.
