Industry practitioners are invited to submit talk proposals to the IMISC conference industry track. This track seeks presentations about challenges and practical solutions to significant realworld issues faced by industry practitioners. We encourage submissions that describe substantial challenges that were overlooked by the research community and your promising new approaches that could foster discussion and collaboration. We also recognize that diverse speaker backgrounds and topics facilitate richer discussions at the conference, therefore we especially encourage women and under-represented colleagues to submit talk proposals.

Examples of talk topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Challenges faced by practitioners that are under-studied in the research community and practical solutions
  • Novel techniques that solve significant issues in practice
  • Case studies of real-world implementations
  • Evaluation metrics and studies
  • Field and user studies
  • Lessons learned from real world deployments
  • Novel information system applications

Note that although industry talks are solicited separately, we expect to create a combined single track program from both accepted papers and industry talks in IMISC 2018. Furthermore, selected proposals should be accompanied by a poster for the conference.

Proposal Format and Submission

We are accepting proposals for Industry talks under 20min (exact length TBD). Proposals must include the following:

  • Title and abstract of the proposal presentation (1 page)
  • Short CV of the presenter(s) (up to 300 words)
  • Talk proposals should be emailed to imisc@mis.academy.
