About AMCIS 2021

The 27th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), a virtual conference (originally to be held in Montreal, Canada) will be in August 9-13, 2021. AMCIS brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to diverse facets of information systems research and practice.

SAND Track at AMCIS 2021

Systems analysis involves examining business problems (opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems design includes the identification, specification, and implementation of an information technology solution. The combined field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues related to the development of systems and, as such, is of central importance to the Information Systems discipline, including understanding how businesses can create value with new digital technologies.

Track Chairs:

Roman Lukyanenko, HEC Montréal
Arturo Castellanos, Baruch College
Jon W. Beard, Iowa State University

Mini-track:

Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods, Techniques, and Tools

This minitrack recognizes the important role modeling languages, methodologies, methods, and tools play in SAND. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the areas of modelling language development, use, modification, and evaluation. We are particularly interested in papers that combine conceptual modelling with emerging trends like Artificial Intelligence and in pieces that target the changing role modelling and models can take now and in future.

An objective of this minitrack is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field while also considering recent developments in domain-specific conceptual modelling. We welcome empirical, conceptual, theoretical, and technical pieces, and are open to all research methods.

The most promising submissions will be invited for a fast-track to the Journal of Database Management.
