OVERVIEW

Information Technology (IT) is central to modern life. Millions of users depend on secure, reliable, and high-performance access to computing and information services that support modern life, at home and in the work place, in small or large, public and private organizations.

Over the years, IT systems have become increasingly complex such that management of IT systems is now a serious bottleneck. Simply put, we are at a turning point where further advances in technology and business efficiency and growth require fundamentally new approaches to IT system design, management, and services.

Started in 2007, ACM CHIMIT Symposium is the leading forum for discussing topics on IT management with a focus on people, business, and technology.

At CHIMIT, researchers and practitioners share issues, solutions, and research drawing upon fields such as human-computer interaction, human factors, computer systems, and management and service sciences to address cognitive, social, and technical issues in managing the overwhelming complexity of modern Information Technology (IT) systems.
