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.
