The European Conference on Information Management and Evaluation (ECIME) provides a forum for both researchers and practitioners to come together to develop their understanding of both theory and practice in all aspects of IT/IS management and evaluation. The wide scope of ECIME reflects the increased use of technology to manage information in and between organizations of all types and sizes across the globe. ECIME 2013 will provide opportunities for people working and researching in the field to come together both formally and informally to share their knowledge and expertise.

Mini track call for papers on Green Information Systems (Green IS) (http://academic-conferences.org/ecime/ecime2013/ecime13-call-papers.htm#Howa...) Mini track chair: Grant R. Howard, University of South Africa (UNISA), South Africa

There is irrefutable scientific evidence and consensus on the negative environmental impacts caused by human activities. Given that people are completely dependent on the environment for existence and well-being, it is imperative that environmental degradation is addressed. Some of the symptoms of environmental degradation include climate change and global warming, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water pollution and water scarcity, air and land pollution, and depleted food stocks.

This Green IS mini-track focuses on leveraging Information Systems (IS) to address environmental degradation, with an emphasis on organisational strategy and management. Green IS are IS that address environmental degradation by aiming for environmental sustainability, and Green IS research exposes salient phenomena emerging from the interaction of technical IT systems and social systems. This mini track welcomes all theoretical and empirical research involving IS for organisational, environmental sustainability.

This track is interested in but not limited to the following areas:

· IS for Green information management and evaluation; · IS for Green strategy; · IS for Green processes and practices; · IS for Green supply chain management; · IS for energy management; · IS for environmental sustainability and competitive advantage.
