We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Fifth International Management Information Systems Conference (IMISC 2018), the venue for research and applications of management information systems. The upcoming IMISC will be held in Ankara, Turkey, from October, 16th to October 19th, 2018. The conference will continue IMISC’ practice of connecting the research and practitioner communities to exchange ideas, frame problems, and share solutions. All promoted papers will be published by respectable journals. 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. Authors will be asked to assign a selection of predefined custom tags to describe their paper in the submission system. Reviewers will also report their expertise over these tags, and the information will be used in review assignments. Paper Submission Categories Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 8 pages (plus up to 1 page references). Each accepted paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in various track sessions as part of the main conference program.
