Track Description

In line with the mission of SIGOPEN, this track will bring together researchers to share new theoretical and empirical research on the wide range of phenomena emerging from the intersection of Information Systems on the one hand, and various forms of legal, technological and organizational openness, on the other. Whether it is in the new modes of knowledge creation embedded in open source and open content licensing; or the radical inclusivity of global crowds to share knowledge, effort and value; or the tearing down of traditional organizational boundaries to enable new forms of innovation; or the reinvention of fundamental “commons” like education, science, and democratic participation; there is no doubt that “openness” is a disruptive and transformative force that demands the rigorous and considered investigation of the Information Systems community.
