Second Call for Papers: 2009 WITS in Phoenix, Arizona on December 14-15

The 19th Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (http://www.indiana.edu/~wits2009/) will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, on December 14-15 2009, just prior to the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among scholars with research interests in the cutting edge issues of information technology and systems. The theme of the conference will be "Interdisciplinary Frontiers in Information Technology Innovation."

We solicit condensed research papers addressing issues concerning the theory, design, development, evaluation, and application of advanced information and communication technologies and systems. Since it is a workshop, WITS actively solicits papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a relatively early stage of development. Research topics include, but are not limited to: � Agent-based Systems and Autonomous Computing � Authentication and Trust � Collaboration Systems � Component-Based systems � Conceptual Modeling � Data Warehouse, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery � Database Modeling, Technology and Systems � Database and Information Integration � Distributed Computing � Emerging Technologies � Enterprise Systems and Architectures � Heterogeneous databases and information integration � Human-Computer Interaction � Information Personalization Technology � Information Quality � Information Security � Intellectual Property, Privacy, and Assurance � Intelligent/Expert Systems � Knowledge Management Technologies � Mobile Commerce and Wireless Technologies � Multi-Media Technologies � Search Engines/Semantic Web � Service-Oriented Computing � Supply Chain and IT � Systems Analysis and Design � Web Content Management � Web-Based Information Systems � Workflow Technologies and System � Web Services

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted research papers are limited to 6 single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, 8.5" by 11" pages (including tables, figures, and references and 1" margins on all sides). All submissions will be reviewed double blind. Selection for presentation at the workshop and publication in the proceedings will be based on originality, contribution to the field, and workshop interest. Authors of selected research papers will be invited to submit complete versions of their work for review and possible journal publication in the Journal of Association of Information Systems (JAIS) after the workshop.

Submissions must be sent in electronic form using the WITS'09 Submission system. The electronic submission system will be available in late July 2009. Further details of the electronic submission instructions will be available later in July.
