2000 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2000)
August 10-13th, 2000, Long Beach, California

Call for
Mini-Track Proposals, Papers, Panels, Workshops, Tutorials, and
Demonstrations

The Association for Information Systems (AIS) is a professional
organization whose mission is to advance knowledge of how the use of
information technology can lead to improved organizational performance
and individual quality of life.  The AIS invites scholars and
practitioners worldwide to participate in the program for the 2000
Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2000).  The conference
will cover the latest and important issues in Information Systems and to
serve the research and teaching interests of the IS community.

To facilitate the organization of topics and events at the conference,
submissions will be accepted in three separate major tracks: Technology,
Organization, and Learning. Each track will include the sessions on
completed research and research-in-progress. Best papers will receive
awards at the conference.

Continuing a trend from prior conferences, each major track is organized
as several mini-tracks.  Mini-tracks represent an opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to focus on well-defined topics of
specific interest, and foster cohesive and interactive sessions.  The
list of currently accepted mini-tracks will be available at the
conference web site, http://www.csulb.edu/conference/ais2000. Proposals
for additional innovative mini-tracks are actively sought. Mini-track
chairs will send messages about their topics on ISWORLD.

Papers can be submitted directly to the mini-track chairs. Papers that
do not fit into an existing mini-track can be submitted directly to the
program chair at [log in to unmask]  The deadline for submitting
papers is March 15th, 2000. The deadline for submitting minitrack proposals
is January 15th, 2000.

In addition to research papers, the Conference seeks proposals for
panels, curriculum development sessions, professional development
sessions, tutorials, workshops, and technology demonstrations.

A number of specialized events are planned as integral part of the
conference, including Chief Information Officer Forum, MIS Camp, IS
Journal Connection, Doctoral Consortium, IS Trivia Bowl, and Job
Placement Service, among others will be offered.

Conference Details are available at the AMCIS 2000 web site at
