Conference: Pushing the Frontiers of Group Decision Support Systems, Adaptive Structuration Theory, Virtual Organizations,and other Seminal Contributions by Gerry Desanctis.

杜克大学将于2006年3月3日至5日举办一次纪念格里·德桑蒂斯教授的会议。会议的目的是介绍和讨论前沿研究，建立在和扩展DeSanctis教授在群体决策支持系统，自适应结构化理论和虚拟组织领域的研究。提交的论文将进行双盲同行评审，以确保只有高度原创和严格的论文被选中在会议上发表。出版计划包括《信息系统协会杂志》特刊。除了特刊的出版，从会议上通知和推进教授DeSanctis奖学金的其他文件将在编辑卷出版。这次会议将作为一个重要的场所，推动这些研究领域的前沿，并确定在经验和理论上仍然需要取得突破。来自NSF的资金将支持研究生和初级教师的旅行，否则他们可能无法参加会议。

Duke University is hosting a conference in memory of Professor Gerry DeSanctis, to be held March 3-5, 2006. The purpose of the conference is to present and discuss leading edge research that builds on and extends Professor DeSanctis's research in the areas of Group Decision Support Systems, Adaptive Structuration Theory, and Virtual Organizations.Submissions will be double blind peer-reviewed to ensure that only the highly original and rigorous papers are selected for presentation at the conference. Publication plans include a special issue of The Journal of the Association for Information Systems. In addition to publication of the special issue, other papers from the conference that inform and advance the scholarship of Professor DeSanctis will be published in an edited volume. The conference will serve as an important venue for pushing the frontiers of these research areas forward, and for identifying where empirical and theoretical breakthroughs still need to be made. Funding from NSF will support travel for graduate students and junior faculty who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference.
