COVID-19 Update

Due to many universities eliminating travel and/or professors choosing not to travel because of COVID-19 concerns, the IACIS Board has decided that the 2020 conference will take place completely online. The conference presentations will be in a synchronous virtual environment with interaction and engagement among colleagues. The dates of the conference remain the same (October 7 - 10, 2020).

Further Reduced Fee: The fee for all virtual conference presentations is now $295 (an even lower price than recommended earlier). This fee still entitles you to receive the full membership in IACIS and a year's subscription to the Journal of Computer Information Systems (a refereed journal published six times a year by Taylor & Francis), which begins in January 2021. Also, the high-marked full papers accepted in the blind review process will be fast-tracked for publication in Volume 21 of Issues in Information Systems.

Additional Publication Opportunity: We will select the two top papers from the conference to be fast-tracked and go through another set of blind reviews for publication in the Journal of Computer Information Systems. Please note that the two papers selected for publication in JCIS will not be published in IIS.


Conference Theme: Internet of Things (IoT)

The IACIS International Conference provides a showcase for the latest research in practice and pedagogical topics that focus on how information systems are used to support organizations or enhance the educational process. The theme of the 2020 IACIS conference is the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is the communication that occurs between a network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity and Internet-enabled devices and systems. Some applications of IoT are security, privacy, inventory management, logistics and supply chain optimization, product flow monitoring, quality control, connected car, connected health (digital health/telehealth/telemedicine), industrial internet, smart city, smart farming, smart grids, smart home, smart retail, smart supply chain, and wearables among others. The IoT has been ranked as #1 in the top ten list of technologies that are perceived by technology industry leaders as having the greatest potential to drive future business transformation and long-term value.

Submission Deadline

In order to meet conference deadlines, all submissions MUST be submitted online by May 31, 2020 June 12, 2020.

Important: Please note that all submissions (full papers, extended abstracts, & abstracts) must be submitted by the deadline above in order to undergo the double blind, peer review process and be considered for publication in either the Issues in Information Systems (IIS), or the conference proceedings.
