Summary of Recent AccomplishmentsDuring the last FY’07, some of the major events and accomplishments of SIGMIS include:
1. AwardsBeginning with the ICIS 1995, SIGMIS became the sponsor of the ICIS MIS Doctoral Dissertation Award. In 2006, the award was given to Andrew Burton-Jones, for his work entitled, "New Perspectives on the System Usage Construct," based on his dissertation completed at Georgia State University. The recipients of the “Magid Igbaria Outstanding Conference Paper of the Year Award” at the 2007 SIGMIS CPR Conference are Tim Klaus, Stephen Wingreen and J. Ellis Blanton for their paper, “Examining User Resistance and Management Strategies in Enterprise Systems Implementations.” 2. PapersSIGMIS held the SIGMIS CPR Conference April 19-21, 2007 in St. Louis, Missouri USA. The conference program is available from the SIGMIS website at: http://www.sigmis.org/CPR_2007_Home_Page.htm. Additionally, SIGMIS publishes The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems (Data Base, for short), a quarterly peer-reviewed publication devoted to communicating advances in research and best practice in MIS. Beginning in January 2007, the editorship transitioned to Tom Stafford of the University of Memphis, who added Global Co-Editor Patrick Y.K. Chau, University of Hong Kong. Andrew Schwarz of Louisiana State University was retained as Managing Editor and Denny Kramer of Baylor University was retained as Technical Editor. For the current and previous issues of Data Base, please visit the SIGMIS website or http://the-database.org/. 3. Programs To promote professional interaction among SIGMIS members, the fifth annual reception at the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS2006) was held on Saturday, December 9, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, just prior to the conference December 10-13, 2006. 4. Service to MIS CommunityIn conjunction with representatives of the Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP) and the Association for Information Systems (AIS), SIGMIS has been involved in the development of model curriculum for education in information systems both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The next version of the curriculum, IS200X Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems is underway. Additionally, the ACM and the IEEE Computing Society are founders of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). IFIP acts on behalf of member societies in carrying out international cooperation to advance the information processing profession. SIGMIS continues to fund the attendance of the ACM's representative for one of the annual meetings of IFIP to promote involvement among the membership of SIGMIS and IFIP. 5. Key Issues Planning for the annual CPR Conference continues to be a concern. The 2008 Conference Chair had personal concerns (moving to a new position and divorce) which ultimately resulted in replacing him. Thankfully, the new Conference Chair is dedicated and was able to get plans underway quickly. The planning process continues to unfold, so it looks like the 2008 CPR conference will go well. I am hoping our plans for 2009 to be held in Limerick, Ireland and for 2010 to be held in Tampa, FL USA do not encounter similar unanticipated concerns. SIGMM FY’07 ANNUAL REPORT July 2006-June 2007 Submitted by: Ramesh Jain, SIGMM Chair Conference/Workshop Program HighlightsACM Multimedia 2006 was held at the Fess Parker’s Double Tree Resort Hotel in Santa Barbara, California, from October 23 to 27, 2006. We are happy to report that we had a record number of paper submissions, attendees and a very strong quality and variety of program. Prof. Klara Nahrstedt from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Prof. Matthew Turk from University of California, Santa Barbara were the general chair persons for the conference. The program committee and the organization committee were excellent. The team is listed in Appendix A. The main conference was attended by 370 participants, where 142 were early registrations, 148 participants received packages, 36 participants registered late, and 44 participants were special cases (student fellowships, complimentary attendees and volunteers). Number of total participants of the ACM Multimedia event (tutorial or main conference or workshop) was 399 (Number of Online Registrants). 205 participants attended workshops, 98 participants attended half day tutorials and 11 participants attended the full-day tutorial. The total revenue was $195,485. Tutorials The conference included 8 tutorials as follows:
Workshops Workshops have always been an important part of the conference. This year the following six workshops were organized as part of the conference:
The list included one standing workshop that has been running for many years (MIR), two repeated workshops (CARPE and VSSN) and three new workshops. MIR pulled in the largest crowd of 70, while VSSN had 38, CARPE 26, HCM 23, MCPS 15 and AMCMM 33 participants. The workshops were well-attended with the smaller workshops being highly interactive.
