SELF NOMINATIONS FOR WISE 2000
|
(Deadline: Friday, December 4, 1998)
Self-nominations are sought from pairs
of individuals who would like to co-chair the 2000 Workshop on Information
Systems and Economics (WISE2000). In 2000, ICIS will be in Brisbane, Australia
from December 10-13.
WISE is an invited workshop for researchers
working at the intersection of information systems and economics. It is
a 1-2 day workshop, in the past held each year in December and scheduled
to coincide with the International Conference on Information Systems. Participants
submit extended abstracts of work they wish to present. Preference
is given to work in progress that can benefit from the feedback provided
by workshop participants. The program is designed to maximize small group
discussion around specific research projects. Previous and forthcoming
workshops and their co-chairs are:

The duties of the co-chairs include:
-
mailing of the call for extended abstracts
-
refereeing and selection of abstracts to be
chosen for invited presentations
-
local arrangements, including meeting space
and meals
-
selection of discussants, session chairs,
panel chairs, panelists and other participants
-
coordination with the WISE policy committee,
which consists of the co-chairs from
the previous four WISE events
Past participation in the workshop is a prerequisite
for nomination as a co-chair. In addition,
experience has shown that having at least one co-chair
with local connections greatly eases the administrative aspects of
organizing the workshop. The latter is not
a hard constraint, however, as previous
workshops have been organized without this advantage.
Nominations should include the names of
the two individuals who are volunteering,
plus a statement of no more than 200 words expressing their reasons
for wishing to be considered, and providing planning information,
including the proposed location and time for
the workshop. Self-nomination will
be considered a commitment to accept the position if elected. Co-chairs
from the preceding four years (i.e., 1996-1999) are ineligible.
The names of the nominees and their statements
will be distributed prior to
the beginning of the 1998 WISE. The nominees
receiving the largest number of votes
by ballot of WISE98 participants will be selected as the co-chairs
for the 2000 WISE.
Nominations should be submitted via electronic
mail to bweber@stern.nyu.edu.
Nominations must be received by Friday, December 4, 1998.
Contact us in the event of any questions: clemons@wharton.upenn.edu
and bweber@stern.nyu.edu.
