CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS

ECITE celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2003 by holding the Conference at one of Europe’s leading business schools, INSTITUTO DE EMPRESA http://www.ie.edu , located in the central business district of Madrid.

ECITE is now a well-established platform for academics and practitioners from Europe and elsewhere who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of IT/IS to come together and exchange ideas. The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers on both the theory and practice of all aspects of IT/IS evaluation. The conference in September 2003 is seeking quantitative, qualitative and experience-based papers from industry and academe. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the evaluation of e-commerce and e-business, intranets and knowledge management as well as papers on general evaluation methodologies for both the appraisal and post implementation of projects. Other areas of interest include decision making processes for new investments; the management of IT benefits, costs and risks; research methods for IT/IS evaluation; human and organisational aspects of IT/IS; the evaluation of IT project management, the management of IS development and IT departments, and the impact of IS on work and organisations.

In addition to multiple streams of papers, the conference committee are inviting proposals for workshops and tutorials on topics related to Information Technology Evaluation and research methods applicable to this field.

Submission details:

Important information:

The review panel of the conference committee will consider all abstracts received by the submission deadline.   Papers that are accepted will be published in the conference proceedings providing at least one author pays the registration fee and presents their work at the Conference (see the registration section for more information). Due to the large number of quality papers that are submitted to this conference the committee only allows an author to present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation different co-authors must present each paper.

Selected papers will also be considered for a special Tenth Anniversary issue of the Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation http://www.iteva.rug.nl/ejise/
