The European, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Conference on Information

Systems (EMCIS) is an annual research event addressing the IS discipline with

regional as well as global perspective. EMCIS has successfully helped bringing

together researchers from around the world in a friendly atmosphere

conducted to free exchange of innovative ideas. EMCIS was founded in 2004

by Brunel University research Group ISEing and it is an annual event. A

number of respected collaborations were made with different local

universities across the destinations chosen each year and EMCIS still proves

to attract many further partnerships.

EMCIS is one of the premier conferences in Europe and Middle Eastern region

for Information Systems academics and professionals, covering technical,

organisational, business and social issues in the application of Information

Technology. EMCIS is dedicated to the definition and establishment of

Information Systems as a discipline of high impact for the methodical

community and IS professionals – focusing on approaches that facilitate the

identification of innovative research of significant relevance to the IS

discipline following sound research methodologies that lead to results of

measurable impact.

The EMCIS proceedings are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in

Business Information Processing book series.
