The American Accounting Association invites submissions for a special issue of Issues in Accounting Education. Submissions may be on any topic broadly related to the use of technology in the classroom and is not limited to technology courses – the technology integration could be in auditing, financial, managerial, systems, or tax courses. We expect and encourage diversity in the Special Issue and seek papers in the following areas: cases and other instructional resources, research articles, theoretical articles, and position papers.

Possible technology-related topic areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
• Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) and related technologies (e.g., XML)
• Conceptual modeling, ontology, and knowledge representation (including REA modeling)
• Database technology (including design, implementation, and use of databases)
• Object-oriented technology
• Audit tools (e.g., IDEA, ACL)
• Continuous auditing technology
• Forensic tools (e.g., Picalo)
• Data mining
• Software applications supporting financial, managerial, and tax accounting

Any papers that are intended as instructional resources must include the instructional resource as well as supporting teaching notes, suggested solutions, and supporting files (e.g., database, spreadsheet).
Professors Marianne Bradford (North Carolina State University) and Gregory J. Gerard (Florida State University) will serve as Guest Editors for the special issue. The special issue is endorsed by the AAA Information Systems Section and the AAA Strategic and Emerging Technologies Section.
Submissions should be sent to both Marianne Bradford (Marianne_Bradford@ncsu.edu) and Gregory Gerard (ggerard@cob.fsu.edu). In addition to the submission, authors must also send a letter attesting that neither the submitted manuscript nor a similar one has been published or accepted for publication elsewhere and that the manuscript is not currently under review elsewhere. Submissions will be peer-reviewed (double-blind) and the deadline for submissions is June 1, 2009. Early submission is encouraged. All other submission procedures outlined in the journal will apply (see http://aaahq.org/pubs/issues.htm for more information).
