Introduction to PACIS

The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems is the premier information systems conference in the region.

The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS), sponsored by the Association for Information Systems (AIS), is the premier information systems conference in the region. It provides a high quality forum for researchers and practitioners to share research findings, practices and ideas on key issues in information systems and management.

PACIS 2013 was held on Jeju Island from 18 to 22 June 2013. The hosting organization was the Korea Society of Management Information Systems (KMIS), the largest IS professional institute in Korea. The PACIS 2013 Program Committee welcomed paper submissions of completed research papers, research in progress papers, teaching cases, panel proposals and workshop proposals.

The conference theme

The conference theme was Smart, Open and Social Information Systems. Social media has been used explosively over recent years. What makes this possible is that users have the ability to create and share information with their networks in real time using not only smart devices but also open information systems. This provides significant implications for thinking about how information and communication technologies can reach wider audiences much faster and how they impact both individuals and businesses.
