2.
Best
Paper Awards for the 2009 Midyear Meeting. For the first time, the Section is hosting a half day WITGA on January 8th, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. The workshop will provide a forum for faculty interested in researching and teaching IT governance, controls and assurance. The section is cooperating with ISACA (www.isaca.org) and the IT Governance Institute (www.itgi.org) to run the workshop. The workshop will include presentations by faculty and ISACA/ITGI thought leaders. ISACA/ITGI leaders will provide an update on recent developments in IT Governance, including COBIT, VALIT, IT Control Objectives for SOX and the forthcoming COBIT/Risk framework as set out in the ITGI document “Enterprise Risk: Identify, Govern and Manage IT Related Risk” forthcoming in late 2008. This aspect of WITGA will include guidance on embedding the various teaching and learning resources from ISACA into the AIS and auditing curricula. Faculty are encouraged to contribute teaching innovations, curriculum designs, case studies, class exercises, research ideas, research papers and work in progress. We are interested in hearing how faculty are going about teaching or researching IT Governance and Assurance from a variety of perspectives through panel discussion or short presentations (each 15-20 minutes). Interested presenters should submit a short proposal summarizing their contribution, via email, to Roger Debreceny (roger@debreceny.com) or Elaine Mauldin (mauldin@missouri.edu) no later than November 1, 2008. 4. Call for proposals for fall 2010 JIS special section, “Reviews of Information Systems Research.” This special section will include papers that review a stream of research in Information Systems. Papers in the section will: (1) review the relevant IS literature (e.g., decision aids, user acceptance, GDSS, data and information quality, value of IT, IT governance, ontology, etc.), (2) integrate the relevant Accounting Information Systems (AIS) literature and (3) map future research directions in AIS and IS. Paper proposals are being accepted until November 30, 2008. The paper proposal should be no more than four pages in length. It should address the following questions:
Submit the paper proposals using the guidelines for regular journal submissions at www.jisonline.org. The review of paper proposals is intended to ensure that the special section covers those dimensions of the IS literature most relevant to AIS and should eliminate overlap between competing papers. Full papers based on accepted paper proposals should be submitted by June 30, 2009. Full papers are subject to the normal double blind review process of the Journal and accepted paper proposals do not guarantee publication of the final paper. Payment of the submission fee must accompany the full paper. The editor of the special section is Roger Debreceny, Shidler College Distinguished Professor of Accounting, School of Accountancy, Shidler College of Business, University of Hawaii at Mānoa. Email: rogersd@hawaii.edu or roger@debreceny.com. Do not hesitate to email Roger for feedback at any point in the process. |
