Information systems research has
progressed in the last decade beyond the
confines of what was once considered a
field characterized by hardware,
software and telecommunication systems.
IS research today is more suitably
positioned at the confluence of several
research traditions and methodologies,
borrowing from and contributing to
reference disciplines such as computer
science, economics, sociology,
marketing, operations management, and
strategy. This cross-disciplinary
perspective places IS researchers in a
unique position to be able to examine
novel and emerging phenomena and the
rapid changes brought about by
technology. The focus of this conference
will be on examining emerging areas of
interest that are still at the periphery
of IS research – but are gaining
prominence rapidly. Extending the
envelope of IS research to study these
emerging phenomena promises new
theoretical and managerial insights.
CIST 2008 is intended to highlight this
theme by bringing together scholars who
have leveraged and informed multiple and
diverse disciplines to present their
ideas in topics such as:
• Consumer behavior in mobile and digital environments
• Digital Intermediaries and Sponsored Search Advertising
• Social Networks and Web 2.0
• IS in Healthcare
• IT security and privacy
• Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
• Software Engineering
• Personalization Technologies
• Intellectual Property, Copyrights, and DRM
• Outsourcing and application service contracting
• Software procurement, open source software, and open standards
• IT in emerging economies and non-governmental organizations
• Knowledge management, collaboration and boundary spanning
• Online communities, and computer-mediated collaboration
