Jeremy Stribling said Thursday that he and two fellow MIT graduate students questioned the standards of some academic conferences, so they wrote a computer program to generate research papers complete with "context-free grammar," charts and diagrams.

It has often been the case that morality has not been given proper consideration in the design and specification of protocols produced within the Routing Area. This has led to a decline in the moral values within the Internet and attempts to retrofit a suitable moral code to implemented and deployed protocols has been shown to be sub-optimal.
This document specifies a requirement for all new Routing Area Internet-Drafts to include a "Morality Considerations" section, and gives guidance on what that section should contain.

Robert Zmud is interviewed for the Sigsemis Bulletin.
Robert W. Zmud is the Michael F. Price Chair in MIS and Director of the
MIS Division in the Michael F. Price College of Business at the University
of Oklahoma. He has been elected a fellow of both the Association of
Information Systems and the Decision Science Institute.
While his research portfolio might seem at first glance to be rather
eclectic, the vast majority of Bob’s refereed articles have addressed
phenomena associated with the following question, “What must an enterprise
do right in order to introduce appropriate information technology so as to
fully leverage the functionality of this technology in creating business
value?” His research examining this question has been published in over
75 refereed articles in such journals as (among others) MIS Quarterly,
Information Systems Research, Management Science, Organization Science,
Academy of Management Review, and Academy of Management Journal.
Bob has been active in promoting and developing information systems
scholarship through the leadership roles he has served with scholarly
journals in the information systems field. He served as the
Editor-in-Chief of MIS Quarterly from 1995 to 1998, as a founding Senior
Editor of Organization Science, and is currently a Senior Editor with
Information Systems Research, the Journal of the AIS, and MISQ Executive.
In addition, he currently serves or has previously served on the editorial
boards of the following journals (alphabetical order): Academy of
Management Review, Communications of the ACM, Decision Sciences,
Information & Organization, Journal of Engineering and Technology
Management, Management Science, MISQ Executive, and Systems, Objectives,
Solutions.
Bob has also played leadership roles in professional societies and
conferences associated with the information system discipline. He has
served in officer roles with the OCIS Division of the Academy of
Management, the TIMS College on Information Systems, and the Society of
Information Management, International. In addition, through his work with
SIM, International as Research Director of the Advanced Practices Council
and as Chair of the SIM Paper Competition, Bob has played an instrumental
role in furthering practice-based research in information systems.
Finally, Bob has also served in leadership roles in numerous information
systems conferences, including serving as General Chair for ICIS 1993 and
Program Chair for ICIS 1986.
In addition to serving on the faculties of Clarkson University, Auburn
University, Georgia State University, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, Florida State University, and University of Oklahoma, Bob has
served as a Shaw Professor at Nanyang Technological University (1997), a
Visiting Scholar at City University of Hong Kong (2001), and a Shaw
Professor at the National University of Singapore (2002). He received his
Bachelors of Aerospace Engineering Degree from the University of Virginia
(1968), his MS degree in Management from MIT (1970), and his PhD in
Business Administration degree from the University of Arizona (1974).
You will find many interesting insights from a Great Mind, that his work
on Organizational Implications of Information Technology and Information
systems is legendary. I liked a lot his perceptions on the business value
of IT, the need to diffuse IS research impact in other contexts, and his
strategy on PhD studies and IS curriculums, etc. I am looking forward for
your comments (Miltiadis D. Lytras).
