General MIS Topics

Information systems concept and related technologies have been evolving in several directions over the past years. New types and kinds of data, new types of applications and information systems to support them raise diverse challenges to be addressed. The so-called big data challenge, streaming data management and processing, social networks and other complex data analysis, including semantic reasoning into information systems supporting for instance trading, negotiations, and bidding mechanisms are just some of the emerging research topics. We construe management information systems broadly, including applications ranging from ebusiness to ambient intelligence, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from edge computing to wearable computers.

We welcome new research on management information systems coming from very diverse communities ranging from psychology to mathematics. In particular, we care as much about the underlying technology and systems as we care about the human and economic impact of these systems.
