EMCIS2006 Doctoral
(PhD) Consortium
EMCIS2006
in Alicante will again be running a PhD consortium for the
research students present at the conference.
There is still time to submit a project for
discussion. The purpose of the
consortium, which will be on the afternoon of Thursday 6 July,
is to give you the chance to meet other research students and to
discuss your work. Rather than thinking of it as another place
to present papers think of it as a Master-class in research
methods and planning.
To give some
structure to the session several research students will be asked
to present a brief resume of their research plan - focusing in
particular how you are setting about the research.
If you wish to
offer your project as one of the ones to be presented for
discussion you need to submit a brief outline and supporting
letter for review by Friday 16 June 2006 (see below). The
deadline is close to the conference to ensure that the
discussion is relevant to the current stage you have reached
within your research. Project selection will be based on the
clarity of the outline and the ability to stimulate a good
discussion during the consortium. You will be informed of the
projects selected for presentation by email on Monday the 19
June.
I look forward to
meeting you all in Alicante.
Dr Tony Elliman
Consortium Chair
Project
Outline
Your outline
should focus on research design - how you plan to carryout the
research - rather than the value or results of research that has
already been done. If you are using multiple methods for data
triangulation then it may be best to focus on just one of the
methods you plan to uses. The outline should make clear the
research hypothesis being investigated, and then set out the
specific method of investigation and the data analysis
techniques you plan to use. The more specific you are in setting
out the plan the more useful any discussion can be in helping
you develop your work.
Eligibility and Submission
Students
wishing to participate and present work in the Doctoral
Consortium must meet the following criteria:
- Students must be studying Information Systems (or a
closely related discipline) and plan to address an
Information Systems-related topic for their thesis.
- Students should have established their area of research
and they should be making satisfactory progress towards the
submission of a thesis.
- Students should not be currently employed in a faculty
position.
- Students must be registered for the conference or PhD
consortium.
A Project
Outline AND a Supporting Letter should be
submitted by email to
tony.elliman@brunel.ac.uk
on or before Friday 16 June 2006.
Project
Outlines should be prepared as MS Word or PDF files. The
outline should consist of a single page (not more than 600
words) describing the project and the research activities
planned. The text should be in Times 10pt with 2cm margins.
You may add a
page showing a flowchart of the research activities and up to
two pages containing a survey design, interview agenda or
observation or visit schedule if you would like to get feedback
on the details.
Supporting
Letters from a senior faculty member (Professor, Reader or
equivalent) are required to confirm that the student is enrolled
in the institution and meets the eligibility criteria above. It
must state clearly the student's area of research and confirm
that they have reached a stage in their programme where they
have a good knowledge of the relevant background. It should also
include an assessment of the student's likely completion date.
Presentation
If you are
invited to present your work in the colloquium you will need to
register for the conference (or consortium) and prepare some
slides to support your presentation. The presentation should be
short, 8 to 10 minutes at most, so that there is ample time for
discussion. Think in terms of the following slides:
- A title slide - Name, Title and what the project is
about
- One slide with the hypothesis you want to investigate
- 2 to 5 slides covering your current research plan and
methodology
Prepare your slides a PowerPoint file using the Microsoft
PowerPoint slide layout style Notebook.pot and bring it on CD or
flash memory to the conference registration desk before the
coffee break on the Thursday morning. For those students with
confirmed registrations all their slides will be available on
one computer so we don't have to keep changing computers around
during the colloquium.
They
should provide sufficient detail to indicate clearly the
industry or research context and objectives, selected
methodology or case studies, and the final outcome/lessons for
enterprises and policy developers.
Potential contributors should note that the conference will
attract a mixture of industry practitioners, academics and
public sector representatives and should address the style and
content of their paper accordingly. Presentations will focus on
addressing the interests and needs of this diverse audience.
Practical applications guided by good theory, success stories,
‘learning experiences’ and integrative approaches will be
delivered in plenary sessions and specialized themes.
The full contact details (postal address, telephone, fax and
e-mail) of the corresponding author and the individual(s) who
will present the paper if accepted, should appear on the first
page of the paper. All submissions must comply with the
following schedule and must choose between each track;
technical, human, organisational.

EMCIS2006 Tracks
Organisational Issues in MIS:
Information systems require considerable contribution,
commitment and care to achieve their full potential. Effective
and efficient technological transfer often requires constant
alteration of working practices and organisational change far
beyond initial expectation. Participants are encouraged to
present their research on theories, concepts, methodologies and
tools from both management and IS to identify cases of success,
or impact of Management Information Systems on organisations and
markets.
Technical
Issues in MIS:
The ever expanding range of information and communication
technologies has a major role in the development of management
information systems that manage to achieve business objectives.
Researchers are invited to critique prevailing technologies and
discuss their application theories of organisations and
organisational change development and transformation, and the
role of Information Systems Development (ISD) within them. Such
themes include but are not limited:
Human Issues
in MIS:
The vision for an internet-worked information society and
24x7X365 commerce has sprung a plethora of attempts for
electronic service delivery systems that give direct access to
information, services and knowledge; Therefore increasing the
associated complexity both for implementation and integration of
these components. Management information systems are developed
within organisational environments where there are heavily
influenced by a plethora of socio-technical factors that are
often indirect in nature. EMCIS welcomes multi-disciplinary
research on MIS that contributes to the greater understanding of
the human domain.

EMCIS2006 Online Submission Phases
Setup END
In this phase the program committee chair check and change
all setup details, e.g. e-mail addresses, dates of phases, etc.
Abstract and Paper Submission
END
In this phase authors register, submit an abstract and their
paper file and reviewers register as soon, as they are invited
to register by the program committee chair.
FINAL DEADLINE - March 12 2006 23:59pm
Bidding and Paper Submission
(Started) March
13 2006 - March 14 2006
In this phase reviewers see abstracts from all submissions for
the first time. They can bid for papers and submit their
conflicts. They do not see, whether authors already submitted
their paper file. Of course reviewers can still register, if
this was not already done. The registration of new authors and
the submission of new abstracts is not possible anymore.
Authors, who already registered and submitted an abstract can
still upload the corresponding paper file.
Bidding
without Paper Submission March 13 2006
-March 14 2006
This phase is identical to "Bidding and Paper Submission",
except that authors cannot upload or change paper files anymore.
Assignment March 14 2006
Paper submission and bidding is not possible in this phase,
even reviewers cannot register anymore. The system is blocked
for the assignment. Any unknown data changes could disturb the
PCC in the assignment process. New reviewers, new authors, or
changed paper files must be inserted by the PCC.
Review March 14 2006 - April 1 2006
Reviewers can download their assigned paper files and write
reviews. If more reviews are needed for some papers, the PCC can
ask for additional reviews.
Blocked April 1 2006 - April 2 2006
This phase is to prepare the PC meeting. Reviewers cannot
enter reviews anymore, this way you can prepare printouts for
the PC meeting. It is important to block new reviews, because
otherwise the printouts might be inconsistent.
Camera Ready Copy April 3 2006 - May 1
2006
Authors can access review results and upload the camera
ready copy, if the paper is accepted. Reviewers can read CRCs of
assigned papers and enter comments on these CRCs.
Closed May 3 2006
The site is closed for all users, except for the PCCs.
Reviewer's and Author's View
The actual phase within the process is not completely
transparent to authors because they do not need to know about
details of the reviewing process. Please have a look a the
figure for a comparison of displayed phase names.
