Hosted by the University of Melbourne

Call for Workshops and Panels

Call for Workshops

The Australasian Conference on Information Systems 2022 is offering several special interest workshops during the conference. We invite the IS community to submit workshop proposals in areas of Information Systems research, especially those related to the conference theme, which focuses on the rapidly changing digital world in a post-COVID new normal era. Please submit your proposals by 6th September to the ACIS2022 EasyChair system (Make sure you choose the “Workshops / Tutorials / Panels” track). Please find the template here.

We plan to, as far as possible, give early feedback to workshop organisers about their format and similar workshop proposals and enable them to consider mergers (or fine-tuning to make workshops more distinct) ahead of time. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or raise any issues you may have.

Decisions to accept/reject workshop proposals will be made by the Workshop Chairs in consultation with the Conference and Program Chairs. The number of workshops will be governed by space limitations.

The organisers of the accepted workshops will be responsible for the reviewing process and publicity (e.g., website and call for papers), where relevant, and will need to cooperate closely with the Workshop Chairs and the ACIS 2022 local organisers to finalise all operational details.

  • Deadlines: Workshop 6th September (Deadline Extended) 23rd August 2022
  • Notification: 17th September 2022 and next steps
  • Workshop Chairs:
    • Axel Korthaus, Swinburne University of Technology
    • Felix Tan, University of New South Wales

Call for Panels

The purpose of panels at the Australasian Conference on Information Systems 2022 is to provide the opportunity to present topics and ideas that are state-of-the-art, break new ground and perhaps are controversial for the IS community.

Panels are expected to engage the panelists and the audience in a discussion that will stimulate interaction and enhance the learning experience with a goal of moving the community and the topic forward to greater understanding. Panel topics can vary, but generally, they pertain to new and controversial research questions, innovative research challenges, changes to the status quo of the discipline, and technology-led transformations that give rise to problems that are worthwhile to build new research agenda around. We also encourage proposals that challenge the traditional panel format, and include innovative and inspirational elements that are likely to prompt the sharing of potentially important new ideas, surprising and spirited reactions, and new conclusions important for IS researchers.

Possible topics for the panels should align with the main conference themes which focuses on “The Changing Face of IS”.

Panel Proposal Format and Page Limit Requirements

A panel proposal should use the following template (link), addressing the seven sections contained in the template. The panel proposal must not exceed five (5) pages. The 5-page count must include all text, figures, tables, and appendices. Submissions may include a video clip or similar to illustrate the intended format.

Please submit your panel proposals by 6th September to the workshop chairs via the EasyChair system (Make sure you choose the “Workshops / Tutorials / Panels” track).

Review Criteria:

  • Panel Topic: Topic must be novel, invite debate and discussion, and showcase leading- edge issues that IS research should revisit or undertake.
  • Panel Format: Panel focuses on discussion and not the presentation of research results; format is innovative, engages the audience, and is not just “a set of talking heads.”
  • Panelists: Panelists include thought leaders and well-published experts, and represent a diversity of opinions, backgrounds and geographic regions.
  • Implications: The outcome of the panel has likely implications for practice or conduct of research in IS.
  • Panel Interest: The panel seems likely to draw a wide audience.

Deadlines:

  • Panel Proposal: 6th September (Deadline Extended) 23rd August 2022
  • Notification: 17th September 2022 and next steps

Panel Chairs:

  • Axel Korthaus, Swinburne University of Technology
  • Felix Tan, University of New South Wales
