   Dear AoIR colleagues,
   I am saddened to be confronted by a call for academic boycott on this
   list.
   Although I personally strongly object to many of the policies, actions
   and decisions of the Israeli government in regards to the resolution of
   the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I believe calls to restrict academic
   freedom counteract efforts to promote peace in the Middle East. Many
   colleagues and friends on this list have visited Israel in the past,
   and witnessed the efforts of Israeli academia to maintain academic
   freedom despite the racist, nationalistic and fundamentalist sentiments
   which are a part of our society, as well as of any other society I
   know.
   Support of academic freedom in a country does not indicate support of
   the country's government or its policies: not in Israel, not in Syria,
   not in Egypt or in Turkey or in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. Our
   academic freedom is constantly under attack from without by those who
   are threatened by what academic freedom represents: openness, education
   for all, international networking and freedom of speech and thought.
   Let's not assist the opponents of academic freedom from within.

   For those considering this conference I remind you of the calls for
   academics to boycott all conferences held in Israel. There is more
   information about this:

   Of course the choice to attend or not is your own, but it's worth at
   least reading the page.

   Digital Work, Digital Life. Our physical reality is increasingly
   entangled with digital representations. We are continuously connecting
   to distant others via email, text and social media on our mobile
   devices. We rely on big data analytics to help us take action in our
   increasingly complex world and inanimate objects are beginning to
   communicate with one another in "the Internet of things." At ECIS 2014
   we want to make the exploration of the opportunities and challenges
   associated with increasing digitality in both our work and everyday
   lives a key theme. Not only will ECIS 2014 feature conference tracks
   that focus on digital innovation but it will also introduce new forms
   of conferencing and interacting. ECIS 2014 will leverage digital
   technology for participants to meet and interact in new ways. It will
   also offer a variety of presentation modalities including paper
   presentations, interactive posters and demos, and developmental
   roundtable discussions. ECIS 2014 will also include an industry track
   where experts in such fields as cyber security, mobile technology and
   digital innovation will share their insights.
