IMISC 2018 is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be given in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the tutorials is to provide conference attendees, including early-career researchers and researchers crossing-over from related disciplines, with an opportunity to learn about management information systems concepts. Tutorials also serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global community of MIS researchers and practitioners. Tutorials focus on specific topics including, but not limited to:

  • Introductions to specific techniques (e.g., deep learning, feature engineering, tensorflow),
  • Evaluation of systems (e.g., system-centric and user-centric evaluation, experimentation),
  • Context-aware (including location-based) information systems,
  • Designing user experiences and interactions (e.g., virtual assistants),
  • Ethical and legal aspects of information systems (e.g., privacy, fairness, accountability, transparency, and control of bias),
  • Information systems facing real-world challenges (e.g., large-scale systems or stream-based recommendation),
  • Building and deploying information systems in specific domains (e.g., music, tourism, education, TV/video, jobs, enterprise, health, and/or fashion),
  • Eliciting and learning user preferences,
  • Artificial systems that take users’ emotional state, physical state, personality, trust, level-ofexpertise, and/or cognitive readiness into account,
  • Sensors and information systems (including mobile systems and wearables).

This year we are experimenting with tutorials of variable length. You can choose to propose a regular tutorial of around 90 minutes, or suggest a half-day or full-day course. The length of your proposed tutorial should be commensurate with the presented materials and the projected interest of the IMISC community in the tutorial topic. We may work with accepted tutorial presenters to adjust the length of the tutorial.

We actively encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit tutorial proposals that target different levels of expertise and different interests. We also encourage the submission of hands-on tutorials, for instance through the use of notebooks that combine theoretical concepts with practical exercises.

Proposal Format and Submission

The tutorial proposal should be a PDF document no more than 2 pages long, submitted by email to imisc2018@imisc.net and organized as follows:

  • Tutorial title. • Tutorial length (tutorials are mostly 90 minutes, but we will consider half-day or full-day tutorials).
  • Motivation for proposing this tutorial (why is it important for IMISC).
  • Name, email address, and affiliation of tutorial instructor(s). Each listed presenter must present in person at the conference.
  • Detailed bulleted outline of the tutorial (this point should take the most space).
  • Targeted audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and prerequisite knowledge or skills. of 23 34
  • Importance of the topic for the IMISC community.
  • Teaching experiences and history of prior tutorials by the presenter(s).
  • List of relevant publications by the presenter(s).
  • The following elements are not mandatory for the proposal, but encouraged:
  • A short explanation of relationship of the tutorial proposal to “trends” at past IMISC conferences.
  • A 2-minute video where the presenters introduce themselves and pitch their tutorial.
  • Statement that the materials (slides, readings, and/or code) used/mentioned in the tutorial will be publicly available after the tutorial.
  • Notebooks (e.g. iPython or Jupyter) that will be used during the course, if any.

Evaluation Criteria

Tutorial proposals will be reviewed according to ability of the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the foundations management information systems research, or to broadening the field to look at important new challenges and techniques, experience and skill of the presenter(s), and the value of any materials released with the tutorial for the community.
