  6. Propose to the program chairs papers to be included into the conference program
  7. Nominate papers for the best paper award in MCIS 2016
  8. At least one of the track co-chairs should  attend MCIS 2016 and serve as session chair in the proposed track session(s)
  9. Summarize the key insights presented at your track and submit to the program chairs at the end of the conference
  10. Ideally, solicit a few selected papers to appear in a special issue in a journal.

Track Proposals

The template for Track Proposals is available online. (Updated: 10 Dec 2015)

Evaluation of Track proposals

Each proposal will be evaluated by the program co-chairs. Selection will be based on (a) the overall merit of the proposal, (b) the significance of the subject covered, (c) the profile and diversity of the track team. If needed, track proposals might be merged in order to obtain the best possible coverage of topics and the best mix of track chairs.

Best paper nominations will be evaluated by the program co-chairs.

Submissions

Track proposals should be e-mailed to mcis2016.pc@unic.ac.cy  as soon as possible but no later than January 15th, 2016. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by January 22th 2016. MCIS 2016 Program Co-Chairs may suggest modifications for the received track proposal to improve the potential for a fair number of paper submissions. In case there are proposals for identical or similar topics, MCIS2016 Program Co-chairs might ask you to consider joining forces with another group. Track proposals that do not meet the criteria can be directly rejected by the program chairs.

We look forward to receiving your MCIS 2016 track proposals!

Track chairs will be supported by the easychair system. For further information, please feel free to reach out to the Program Chairs
