Call for Participation
SIGITE 2015: 16th Annual Conference on IT Education RIIT
2015: 4th Annual Research in IT Conference September 30 - October 3, 2015 http://sigite2015.sigite.org/
The 16th Annual Conference on Information Technology
Education and the 4th Annual Research in IT Conference will be hosted by DePaul
University and will take place at the DePaul Loop campus in Chicago,
Illinois. Both conferences are sponsored
by the ACM Special Interest Group for Information Technology Education
(SIGITE). The dual conferences provide a forum for sharing and developing ideas
relating to information technology research, education, applications,
IT-industry-academia relationships, and our roles as professionals, educators,
and advocates for the effective use of information technology. This year is the fourth for the Research in
IT conference, which aims to provide a venue for showcasing research in
information technology that may or may not have a connection with teaching
IT. These two conferences will be
co-located and tightly integrated so that participants can attend the sessions
of both at no additional charge.
Theme
The theme of both conferences is "Creating the
Future". The Chicago fire of 1871 enabled a rebirth of development in
Chicago, producing notable architecture that continues to impact the city into
the present day. In a nod to that period of development, a technology-focused
incubator called 1871 has been created, and with it has come a focus on
reinventing Chicago for the next century. Industry, academic, and political
leaders are working to make Chicago a city known for its innovative approaches
to business and technology. We seek submissions that look to the future of
information technology, helping to define what it is that researchers and
students alike will be doing in the decades to come.
Submissions: Due May 25, 2015
The submission site is available at: https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/IT2015.
All submissions should use the ACM templates: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
A PDF should be submitted for all types of submissions. Panel and workshop
proposals should include author information. All other submissions (papers,
lightning talks, and posters) should be anonymous, with all author information
removed. Submissions must adhere to the page limits described below, and
submissions that exceed the limits will be rejected without review. Authors
must register for and attend the conference as specified below in order for
their work to appear in the published proceedings.
Papers
Submissions will be no longer than six double-column
pages and will undergo a blind peer reviewing process. Authors will have approximately 30 minutes
for their presentation, including the question and answer period. Accepted papers must be presented by at least
one author and will be published in the conference proceedings.
Panels
Panels allow experts to discuss a current topic of
interest in IT education or research.
Panel organizers are responsible for selecting appropriate panelists to
participate. A panel will normally have
at most four panelists including the organizer.
Panel submissions should include a list of panelists, their
affiliations, a description of the topics, and a brief position statement from
each panelist. All panelists are expected
to attend the conference and participate in the panel. Panel proposals are limited to two pages and
will be published in the conference proceedings.
Workshops
Workshops allow presenters to provide a hands-on
exploration of a topic in which attendees are expected to actively
participate. The workshop proposer is
required to attend the conference.
Workshop proposals are limited to two pages and will be published in the
conference proceedings.
Lightning talks
Lightning talks present work currently in progress and
for which authors are actively seeking feedback or short curricular,
pedagogical, or research techniques of interest to the SIGITE/RIIT
communities. Accepted lightning talks
will be presented in a session where each author is given 10 minutes to present
the work and obtain feedback. A one-page
summary of the accepted lightning talks will be published in the conference
proceedings.
Posters
Posters present work currently in progress and for which
authors are actively seeking feedback. A
one-page summary of the accepted posters will be published in the conference
