Upcoming event: IFIP WG8.6 Working Conference Hamburg (Germany), September 22-24, 2011
Governance and Sustainability in Information Systems - Managing the Transfer and Diffusion of IT
Today, organizations act in globalized and competitive markets where information technology is the backbone of almost all distributed business processes. Therefore, products and services are increasingly affected by aspects of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. Managing information systems needs to take into account these issues to achieve a sustainable use and adoption of information technology. IFIP 8.6 Conference 2011 aims at promoting scientific and practical excellence on aspects of transfer and diffusion of information technology and invites academics and practitioners to enhance the knowledge base. The conference will feature an exciting program that, in addition to the regular paper tracks, will also host a number of other activities and events, including keynotes, panels and a doctoral symposium.
