[Iefac.list] Engineering Management Track: Call for Papers - 2014 ISERC

[Smith, Brian Keith]

Dear colleagues,

The Society for Engineering Management and Systems Engineering (SEMS) of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) is sponsoring the Engineering Management Track at the 2014 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC).  The ISERC is the new name for the Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC).  The ISERC, which is part of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research community.

As track chairs of the Engineering Management Track, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract.  Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4 presenters. Abstracts are welcome in the following areas:

Systems and Engineering Management
Organizational Change
Project Management and Project Portfolio Management
Action Research in Engineering Management
Risk Management
Lean Applications
Team-based Work Systems
Management of Innovation and R&D
Decision Analysis and Decision Making
Leadership in Engineering Management
Engineering Management Education and Training
Quality Systems Implementation and Sustainability
Technology Management
Enterprise Knowledge and Learning
Performance Measurement and Management
Engineering Management in Healthcare and Service Systems
Supply Chain and Logistics Management
Strategy and Operations Management
Process Improvement
Academic-Industrial Partnerships

We strongly encourage all presenters to submit a full-length paper for the conference proceedings.  The papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research community.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed by ProQuest.  IIE is currently working on uploading papers of previous years onto the IIE website. Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be indexed in the conference proceedings.  A select panel of reviewers from the Engineering Management community will review the best papers from those submitted, and the winners will be recognized during the SEMS Town Hall meeting.

The important deadlines for the conference are:
Abstract submissions:  November 22, 2013
Notification of Decision on Abstract:  December 19, 2013
Submission of Full Papers (optional but encouraged):  January 23, 2014
Notification of Decision on Paper:  February 22, 2014
Final Version of Full paper Due:  March 8, 2014
Presenting Author Registration Deadline:  March 15, 2014

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author for the paper must register for the conference by March 15, 2014 (presentations/papers without the presenting author being registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for fellow authors and follow review deadlines.

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, or panels.  In addition to research presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.
