European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group
11th Annual Conference
“Practical steps to defend organisations against out-of-control spreadsheets”
University of Greenwich, London
15th/16th July 2010
EuSpRIG is issuing a Call for Papers for their 2010 conference on the theme: "Practical steps to defend organisations against out-of-control spreadsheets". The programme will concentrate on all aspects of the management of corporate spreadsheets.
Papers are welcomed on spreadsheet management issues covering all aspects of the spreadsheet life cycle but especially concerning:-
* awareness raising
* risk management
* education and training
* development methods and good practice
* audit & management tools, methods & technologies
* working model controls, version control and secure archiving.
Academic papers and Management Summaries describing how organisations have implemented control over the development and use of spreadsheets, whether these are limited to spreadsheets or in the context of wider controls over end-user computing, will be particularly welcome.
We are seeking the following types of submission:
Full academic papers (up to 5000 words),
Management summaries (up to 2000 words).
We invite original papers from both new and established researchers within the academic and practitioner communities that present material related to the conference theme. The conference proceedings will be published by EuSpRIG.
It is expected that academics and students will contribute full papers which will be double-blind refereed by members of the programme committee. Management summaries are predominantly expected from business people and practising professionals such as spreadsheet users, developers, auditors and accountants - all who can contribute to the prevention, detection and correction of errors in spreadsheet models and applications and the management of risks associated with spreadsheet use. Such summaries will be reviewed by two referees.
Submissions to EuSpRIG 2010 may not have (already) been published in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference. Moreover, they may not be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. Only papers that are accepted and presented in person will be published.
Students please note: EuSpRIG in association with ISACA (Northern England Chapter) has arranged for the creation of an annual prize to be awarded for the best EuSpRIG conference paper submitted by an undergraduate or masters postgraduate student.
Important Dates
Submission deadline for papers and management summaries: 31st March 2010
Acceptance notice: 30th April 2010
Final camera-ready copy: 31st May 2010
Author Guidelines and an index of the complete historical proceedings are available on the EuSpRIG website.
