C A L L F O R P A P E R S ELEVENTH WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS (WITS'01) DECEMBER 15-16, 2001, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA http://www.busi.mun.ca/parsons/wits2001 The Eleventh Annual Workshop On Information Technologies And Systems (WITS'01) will be held in New Orleans, LA, USA, on December 15-16, 2001, just prior to the International Conference on Information Systems. The purpose of the workshop is to promote discussion and interaction among members of the Information Systems community with research interests in cutting-edge information technologies and systems. We are interested in exchanging research ideas and results that will contribute to theoretical understanding of information technologies and systems, as well as benefit the business community in the foreseeable future. The theme for WITS'01 is �Fueling the Digital Economy: Achieving Information Technologies & Systems Research Impact in the Age of 'Internet Time'.� TOPICS We solicit condensed research papers addressing issues concerning the theory, design, development, evaluation, and application of advanced information 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. We also encourage proposals for panels that examine provocative issues around the conference theme. Research topics include, but are not limited to: Bio-medical Informatics Data and Process Modeling Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Data Warehousing & OLAP Electronic Commerce Emerging Technologies Enterprise Application Integration E-government ERP Systems and Architectures Geographic Information Systems Human-Computer Interaction Information Modeling Information Quality, Privacy, and Security Intellectual Property Intelligent Systems Knowledge Management Mobile Commerce and Wireless Technologies Multi-Media Systems Object Technologies & Methodologies Scalable Enterprise Systems Security Technology and Support Software Engineering Supply Chain Management Technology Collaboration, Cooperation, & Negotiation Technologies Infrastructure for Internet Business Models Web Content Management and Distribution Web Systems Development Methodologies Workflow Systems RESEARCH PROTOTYPE DEMONSTRATIONS Research prototypes provide an opportunity to showcase new research ideas and emerging technological solutions. A one-page abstract describing each accepted prototype will be published in the conference proceedings. For more information on Research Prototype submissions, please contact the Research Prototypes Coordinator, Sandeep Purao ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers are limited to 10 double-spaced, 12-point font 8.5" by 11" pages (including tables, figures, and references). Panel proposals are limited to 5 pages, and should include a summary of the topics to be covered, names and affiliations of 3-4 panelists who have made a commitment to participate, a summary of their position statements, and a brief biography of each. A mix of industry and academic panel members is encouraged. All submissions, excluding panel proposals, 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 possible journal publication after the workshop.
