Call for Papers AMCIS Mini-track: Information Security and Privacy in Developing Economies, 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) San Francisco, California, August 6 - 9, 2009

Mini-track website: http://www.unm.edu/~xinluo/index_ISP.htm

Description With the ubiquitous deployment of and increasing reliance on information technologies over the interconnected networks, information security and privacy (ISP) is becoming a global concern for businesses, government agencies, academia, and even individuals. Some people, particularly those who are from developing economies in some parts of the world, are still not informed of the threat and peril of ISP. In some developing countries, ISP issues have not been adequately addressed. As the majority of the ISP standards and best-practice guidelines have been developed by technologically leading countries, most of which are developed economies, relatively few studies have investigated emerging ISP issues in developing economies. To address this gap, this mini-track intends to target ISP issues in developing economies by providing a forum for researchers to present and discuss ISP issues highlighting technical, administrative, strategic, and judicial insights from the perspective of the developing economies. All paper submissions need to address some ISP issue that is specific to the developing economy setting. Papers ranging from quantitative to qualitative studies are encouraged. Both research-in-progress and complete researcher papers will be welcome.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: � The economic and social aspects of information security � Intellectual property rights and policies � IT outsourcing and information security � Cultural aspects of information security � Open source software security � Security of E-commerce/M-commerce � Information security in e-healthcare � The impact of government policies on information security across industries � Security software industry development and strategies � Security technology adoption � The implication of information security for the future of the IT industry � Key Information security skills for the next decade � Information security evaluation metrics � The impact of privacy legislation � Privacy protection models in developing countries � Protecting privacy in outsourcing projects � Privacy risk in e-commerce/m-commerce � Tools/techniques/protocols for privacy � Trade-offs between security and privacy

All paper submissions need to address some ISP issue that is specific to the developing economy setting. Papers ranging from quantitative to qualitative studies are encouraged. Both research-in-progress and complete researcher papers will be welcome. We welcome papers of all methodological approaches. Papers that do not have a clear ISP in developing economies context will not be considered for this mini-track.
