The 20th Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and
Systems will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on
December 11-12, 2010, just prior to the International
Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the
workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and
interaction among scholars with research interests in the
cutting edge issues of information technology and systems.
The theme of the conference will be "Creating Value Through
Collaboration".
From a business perspective, information technology is
consistently a major driving factor behind the biggest
threats and the biggest opportunities an organization faces.
As technology and software become more commoditized, the
challenge is to create superior value though innovative use
of technology. Collaboration holds the promise to improve
efficiency and effectiveness, and IT is the key enabler of
this revolution. The objective is to simultaneously create a
sustainable competitive advantage and lower costs.
Collaborative IT innovations currently center on such themes
as social networking, knowledge management, and
service-oriented technologies. Within these broad classes of
technologies, we find both established and emerging fields
of study. Since it is a workshop, WITS actively
solicits
papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a
relatively early stage of development. Thus, the conference
theme is inclusive and engages research in a wide range of
topics, including the following:
- Access Control and Security Techniques
- Agent‐based Systems and Modeling
- Agile System Development
- Autonomous Computing
- Collaboration Systems
- Component‐based Systems
- Conceptual Modeling
- Databases and Information Integration
- Data, Text and Web Mining
- Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence
- Distributed Computing
- E‐Business and E‐Commerce
- Emerging Technologies
- Enterprise Resource Planning and Enterprise
Application Integration
- Enterprise Systems and Architecture
- Human‐Computer Interface
- Information Personalization Technology
- Information Quality, Privacy, and Security
- Intellectual Property Protection
- Intelligent Systems and Technologies
- Knowledge Management Technologies
- Mobile Commerce and Wireless Technologies

- Multi‐Media Computing
- Object Technologies and Methodologies
- Peer‐to‐peer Technologies
- Process Management and Mining
- Resource and Organizational Modeling
- Search Engines
- Semantic Web
- Service‐Oriented Architecture and Web
Services

JOURNAL PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES
Authors of selected research papers will be
invited to submit complete versions of their work for review
and possible publication in three journals, based on fit
with the journal scope as follows:
- Information Technology and Management (ITM):
Manuscripts concerning the man/machine interface, human
factors, and organizational issues, as well as
managerial and strategic issues that arise from the
management of information technology.
- ACM Transaction on Management Information Systems
(ACM TMIS): Manuscripts focused on system and design
science research.
- The Journal of the Association for Information
Systems (JAIS): Manuscripts where the applied method
or methodology is inherently related to ongoing theory
formulation or validation.
We estimate that there will be approximately 3 papers
nominated for fast tracking with each journal. In addition,
all accepted papers will be published on SSRN.
