The ISD 2024 conference aims to advance research on the methodological and technological advancements in information systems and how they transform organizations and society.

The conference will be held in the so-called Tri-City, Poland – a metropolitan area consisting of three contiguous coastal cities forming a row on the coastline of the Gdańsk Bay, Baltic Sea, namely the cities of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot, along with other towns in their vicinity. This metropolitan area of over a million people reconciles a millennium of history and a picturesque seaside location with its role as a lively economic, scientific, and cultural center of northern Poland. It will be hosted by the University of Gdańsk, a dynamically developing institution with over 22,000 students that hosts diverse scientific research across Natural, Formal, Social Sciences as well as Humanities. UoG closely cooperates with the University of Technology in Gdańsk as well as the Medical University of Gdańsk and is involved in building a network of European universities selected in the ‘European Universities’ competition organized by the European Commission.

Everyone is invited to join this premier event and contribute to shaping the future of information systems development methods and technologies. Diversity and Inclusion are central to the ISD conference. ISD provides a welcoming environment that embraces the value of every individual and fosters the open exchange of ideas, along with the freedom of thought and expression. Diversity involves recognizing various talents and is achieved when individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences have the opportunity to express their viewpoints. Inclusion entails removing barriers and obstacles that hinder equal access and participation in any conference activity, free from discrimination. By participating in ISD 2024, you commit to treating all individuals fairly with dignity and respect, refraining from harassment, discrimination, or bullying, and avoiding causing harm to others.

The ISD Proceedings will be published in the Association for Information Systems (AIS) eLibrary. As per the European Union’s open science policy, we implement Open Access, i.e., all accepted papers shall be available online free of charge to any interested party. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by SCOPUS, Google Scholar, DBLP, Semantic Scholar, and Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index. On top of that, Springer Nature shall publish a selection of extended versions of the best papers (per invitation) as a standalone volume of the Lecture Notes in Information Systems and Organization (LNISO) series (subject to final approval).

Conference tracks

ISD 2024 will be organized around a number of new and well-established tracks:

• Managing IS Development and Operations
• Information Systems Modelling
• Lean and Agile Software Development
• Data Science and Machine Learning
• Digital Transformation
• Learning, Education, and Training
• New Topics in IS Development

See the description of these tracks for more information.

Types of manuscript

Research Papers (Full or Short) pertain to original and previously unpublished (nor submitted/under review anywhere else) research accomplished through a systematic investigation. Contributions must feature tangible findings regarding information systems development or operations that are covered by a specific track. Authors are expected to highlight the research gap and feature the methodology and implications of their research. Specifically, full research papers should in their nature mirror journal submission practices, yet in a more concise form. Please note that depending on reviewers’ feedback and recommendations from Track Chairs, papers of a higher tier may be accepted for publication as papers of a lower tier (i.e., Shorts or Posters).

Posters convey preliminary work that is not yet fully validated or showcase innovative tools or artifacts contributing to the advancement of research and practice. The authors of posters are expected to clearly communicate the path of further research activities and/or the use of showcased tools/artifacts in ISD practice to the audience. Just as in the case of research papers, the entire body of posters shall be included within the AIS eLibrary.

Journal-First Papers: recently published works in reputable journals within the conference’s scope, presented to share and disseminate results with the ISD community.

Deadlines

Paper submission: April 16 May 01, 2024 UTC time
Paper notification: June 4 June 12, 2024
Paper camera-ready submission and Author registration: June 30, 2024

Submission

All submissions must be in English and submitted in PDF format to one of the conference tracks through the EasyChair conference management system. Submissions to more than one track at a time are not permitted. The organizing committee reserves the right to move submissions between tracks as a result of inadequate fit at the request of Track Chairs. Such a transfer does not constitute grounds for appeal in case a paper is ultimately rejected.

The maximum length for submissions is as follows:

• Full research papers: 12 pages, including references and appendices.
• Short research papers: 8 pages, including references and appendices.
• Posters: 4 pages, including references and appendices.
• Journal-First papers: The information about the journal paper is indicated in the EasyChair system, and the PDF file of the original publication (of any length) must be uploaded.

Whereas contributors are allowed to use Generative AI for certain aspects of their work (for instance, using Grammarly or ChatGPT in editing their writing), we accept only the submissions that solely reflect the humans’ intellectual contributions. Authors are required to disclose (within the acknowledgments) the use of Generative AI for any aspect of the work that goes beyond verifying spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

All manuscripts, except for Journal-First Papers, will undergo a double-blind peer review process. To ensure the anonymity of the authors during the review process, the authors must take measures to remove any personally identifying information from the manuscript. No authorship changes are allowed upon submission without express authorization from the Programme Chair. Please note that all papers that have not been anonymized, are out of scope, or do not follow the conference template may be desk-rejected. Likewise, any identified cases of academic misconduct will entail actions regardless of when the misconduct was detected, including official retraction of published articles with an appropriate note.
