Dear Colleagues,

This is the second call for papers for the CIS track. In the 2018 IISE conference, in addition to submitting abstracts and full papers, you may also submit extended abstracts. Please find details below.

We also have Cliff Scott-Williams from West Monroe Partners who joined us as a track chair for the CIS track.

Dear Colleagues:

The Computer & Information Systems (CIS) Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the CIS Track at the 2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo. As track chairs, 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 a session. Each session will be 80 minutes and have four presenters. Each speaker will have 20 minutes for his or her presentation.  If the speaker needs additional time, two abstracts under the same name can be submitted for a 40 minutes presentation. Abstracts are welcome for the CIS Track in the following areas:

Collaborative Control
Complex Networks
Data Analytics
Decision Support Systems
Grid/Cloud Computing
Healthcare Delivery
Homeland Security & Disaster Management
Human System Integration
Human Computer / Human Machine Interaction
Information & System Security
Information Visualization

Inventory Management Systems
Intelligent Transportation Systems
Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
Multi-agent Systems
RFID & Sensor Networks
Robotics & Automation
Smart Grid
Smart Manufacturing
Ubiquitous/Pervasive Systems
Usability


In addition to the traditional abstract and presentation, two other options are available for presenting your work: an extended abstract and a full paper.

*         Extended Abstract. A new feature at this year's conference, the extended abstract is intended as a mechanism to explain the author's' work in more detail than the standard conference abstract allows. An extended abstract can include problem descriptions, technical details, and a brief analysis of the conclusions reached in the study or the impact of the engineering work to be discussed at the conference. Extended abstracts will be limited to three pages and will be judged based on correctness (e.g., accuracy of the statements made, relationships to other problems in the field), professionalism (e.g., quality of grammar and figures, adherence to formal writing standards), and content (e.g., sufficiency of information convey beyond the standard conference abstract). Extended abstracts must contain citations where appropriate, and may not plagiarize (or self-plagiarize) other work in the literature. Authors will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be publicly viewable. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing extended abstract material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).
*         Full Paper. Similar to previous years, full papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner community. Full papers have a six-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process with more rigor relative to the extended abstract. Accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings. Authors of rejected papers will be given the opportunity to resubmit their work as an extended abstract.

Important deadlines for the conference are as follows (NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS)


  *   Abstract Submission Deadline: November 7, 2017
  *   Notification of Decision on Abstract: November 28, 2017
  *   Submission of Extended Abstracts and Full Papers (optional): January 16, 2018
  *   Notification of Decision on Paper: February 20, 2018
  *   Final Version of Full Paper Due: March 6, 2018
  *   Presenting Author Registration Deadline: March 13, 2018
  *   Schedule Published: April 3, 2018
  *   2018 IISE Annual Conference and Expo: May 19-22, 2018

If your abstract, extended abstract, or full paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author must register for the conference by March 13, 2018 (presentations without the presenting author 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 (presenting authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from the proceedings); and (c) all authors who submit an extended abstract or a full paper are expected to review two extended abstracts or full papers (as appropriate)  for fellow authors.

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

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Regards,

Computer & Information Systems Track Chairs
