Description:
Call for Papers, Workshops and Tutorials
The European Conference on Information Management and Evaluation (ECIME) provides a forum for both researchers and practitioners to come together to develop their understanding of both theory and practice in all aspects of IT/IS management and evaluation. This, the second ECIME, is built on the firm foundations laid by 13 successful years of the European Conference on Information Technology Evaluation (ECITE). The wider scope of ECIME reflects the increased use of technology to manage information in and between organizations of all types and sizes across the globe. ECIME 2008 will provide opportunities for people working and researching in the field to come together both formally and informally to share their knowledge and expertise.
The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers, and panel and workshop proposals on both the theory and practice of all aspects of IT/IS management and evaluation.
