The Fourteenth Annual Workshop On Information Technologies And Systems (WITS'04) will be held in Washington DC, USA, on December 11-12, 2004 at the Arlington campus of George Mason University, just prior to the International Conference on Information Systems. The purpose of the workshop is to promote discussion and interaction among members of the Information Systems community with research interests in cutting-edge information technologies and systems. We are interested in exchanging research ideas and results that will contribute to theoretical understanding of information technologies and systems, as well as benefit the business community in the foreseeable future. The workshop theme this year is
"Value Driven Systems: Technology, Design and Implementation."

Submissions that address technology and systems, as well as design and implementation methodologies are encouraged. It is generally expected that authors will discuss and argue the business value of their work. For a list of general topics of interest and submission instructions, check Call for Papers.
