The IFIP 8.2 Working Group on Information Systems in Organizations Call for participation Organizations and Society in Information Systems (OASIS) 2001 Workshop

Wildcatter Room, Fairmont New Orleans Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 9 AM - 3:30 PM Sunday 16 December 2001

Submission due date: 30 September 2001

The OASIS research workshop is open to all interested scholars and professionals who are researching in the areas of organizations, information systems and society. We invite you to present your research-in-progress at the OASIS workshop (or just come to hear the discussions). Along with members and friends of IFIP WG 8.2, we welcome researchers new to, or interested in, intensive research in IS.

Come and get to know our members and their research interests, issues, and methodologies in a relaxed and supportive setting. The unique and collegial character of WG 8.2 ensures constructive, helpful and high quality feedback. OASIS is a particularly useful forum for those just embarking on their research who need constructive advice on research approaches.

Submissions: To present, please submit a 500-word abstract of your work to the co-chairs by 30 September 2001. We anticipate that submitters will be given about 10-15 minutes to present their work to the assembled group, which is followed by 5-10 minutes for questions from the audience. The exact timing and review process will depend on the number of abstracts received. We will accept late submissions on a space-available basis. Proposals will be copied for distribution at the workshop. Authors submitting proposals must grant the IFIP WG 8.2 the right to copy and distribute them to workshop attendees, but retain all other copyrights.

Registration: There will be a nominal registration fee for the workshop (probably on the order of US$25) to cover the cost of coffee breaks, audio-visual equipment and copying. All attendees and presenters will be required to register. We hope to provide pre-registration (at a discount) as well as registration at the door in cash (receipts will be provided). Details will be provided on the IFIP WG 8.2 Website (http://www.ifipwg82.org) when they are available (check back this fall).

Time and place: The workshop will be held in the Wildcatter Room of the ICIS 2001 Conference Hotel, the Fairmont New Orleans, in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States from 9 AM-3:30 PM on Sunday 16 December 2001, immediately prior to the ICIS 2001 conference.

IFIP WG 8.2 Business Meeting: All workshop attendees and anyone interested in WG 8.2 are encouraged to attend the WG business meeting that will follow the workshop at 4 PM. At the business meeting, we will discuss future workshops and working conferences, elect new members to the working group and conduct other business.

Please email any questions regarding this workshop to the Co-Chairs.
