 * ICIS 2017 **

Sunday, December 10, 2017, 8:30am – 2:30pm **CALL FOR PAPERS ** As part of its pre-ICIS Workshop on “Location Analytics and the Competitive Advantage of Place: Theory and Practice”, the Special Interest Group on Geographic Information Systems (SIGGIS) of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) seeks theoretical and empirical research papers focusing on location analytics theory, applications, and practice – especially as they relate to areas of research interest in Management Information Systems. Rapid expansion in analytics and big data technologies along with the concomitant explosive growth in the production and availability of geographically referenced data from a plethora of geotagged sensors, wearables, household  devices connected to the internet, and mobile phones motivate new and interesting research questions and spur research agendas pertaining to location analytics. Examples include but are not restricted to management and analytics for spatial big data, spatial knowledge management, theory development, cloud-based GIS, spatial crowdsourcing, spatial workforce, behavioral research, geo-design, privacy and security aspects, mobile location-based applications, and new and emerging areas such as locational patterns and consumer behavior in traditional economies as well as sharing/collaborative-consumption based economies. Manuscripts focusing on theory, methodology, applications, behavioral studies, case studies, and emerging areas in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and location analytics are welcome in the following areas:
