3RD INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT (IRWITPM) - INITIAL CALL FOR PAPERS

December 12th-13th, 2008

at the

American University of Paris (AUP), France

(In coordination with ICIS 2007)

The Special Interest Group for IT Project Management (SIGITPROJMGMT) is proud to sponsor its 3rd International Research Workshop on Information Technology Project Management. The workshop is co-sponsored and

hosted by the American University of Paris. The workshop will feature research papers and one or more panels that focus on problems that cut across many traditional IS/T Project Management areas, including,

but not limited to, the following topics: virtual project management, agile project management, knowledge networks, project management methodologies, distributed project management, project leadership,

project quality metrics, project management standards, best practices in project management, project success, and pedagogical issues. The workshop welcomes high-quality conceptual and empirical contributions

that attempt to advance theory and application of project management using any research approach (action research, experimental, grounded theory, design science, survey research, theory development,

prototyping, methodology development, PM tool development, etc).

All submissions to IRWITPM 2008 must represent original work that has not already been published in a journal or conference proceedings. If the work has been presented at another conference or is currently

under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere, the authors must disclose this fact. At least one author for every accepted paper and all members of every accepted panel must register for the workshop and be prepared to present their ideas in person. Authors of accepted submissions must

address the suggestions (if any) of the reviewers and submit an electronic copy of the final version of their work by the specified deadline. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of this work from

further consideration and it will not be included on the final program.

All final papers will be published in the form of e-proceedings available via the AIS eLibrary. Submissions may be of three types: � Completed research papers, � Research-in-progress papers, and � Panel proposals.

COMPLETED RESEARCH PAPERS

As in the past two years, we expect to provide IRWITPM 2008 authors presenting at this workshop the opportunity to publish their work in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal. In the past selected

completed research papers presented at the workshop have been automatically considered for fast track publication in special issues of the e-Service Journal and the International Journal of Project

Management. Authors who do not want to be considered for the special issue should indicate so at the time of submitting their final revision. Authors may be asked to further revise their manuscript

subsequent to presentation to address workshop comments, editorial reviews, and any additional requirements of the selected journal.

RESEARCH-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (RIP)

Submissions should include a one-page abstract and a paper that includes the following sections: research objectives and questions, theoretical foundations, research methodology, current status of the

project, and a description of what the authors propose to present at the conference.

PANEL PROPOSALS

Panel proposals should include a general description of the panel, names and affiliations of all panel participants, a statement to the effect that all participants have made a commitment to serve on the

panel (if it is accepted), a brief description of each participant's background and expertise related to the panel topic, and a brief description of each participant's views on the topic.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: September 15th, 2008 Notification of Decision: October 15th, 2008 Revised Manuscripts Deadline: November 1st, 2008 Registration Deadline: November 15th, 2008

WORKSHOP FORMAT AND VENUE

The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Saturday, December 13th, in Paris, France, prior to the start of ICIS 2008. Participants should plan on arriving the night before for an early start to the

meeting. There will be a single track to maximize interaction and participation. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that will include lunch and coffee breaks (details will be announced

as the conference program is finalized). Additionally, we are considering having a networking dinner reception before the workshop on December 12th hosted at the American University of Paris (AUP) campus.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

For completed paper and research-in-progress submissions, authors should identify themselves and provide contact information only on the cover page, as these submissions will be blind reviewed. The second

page of the paper should consist of an abstract plus a list of key words describing the main topics of the manuscript (the MISQ keyword list is recommended for use). Papers and panel proposals should be

double-spaced to facilitate editing. The manuscript or proposal and any supporting documentation (such as survey instruments) should be sent as e-mail attachments (in MSWord format) to IRWITPM Conference

Chair and SIGITProjMgmt Founder, Dr. Deepak Khazanchi at irwitpm@sigitpm.org. In your email, please clearly identify your paper as research-in-progress (RIP) or completed paper.
