In 2011, Avila (Spain) hosted the 4th edition of the IADIS International Conference on Information Systems, during 11 to 13 March.

This conference was organized by the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS).

This event focused on issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. The conference was structured along with five main tracks such as: IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes, IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies, IS Professional Issues, IS Research and IS Learning and Teaching.

The IADIS Information Systems 2011 Conference received 140 submissions from more than 31 countries. Each submission had been anonymously reviewed by an average of four independent reviewers, to guarantee the final high standard of the accepted submissions. Out of the submissions, 24 papers had blind referee ratings that signified acceptability for publication as full papers, thus the conference had an acceptance rate below 18%. Some others were published as short papers, reflection papers, posters and doctoral papers.

Extended versions of the best papers were selected to be published in:

 the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems (IJCSIS). ISSN 1646-3692.

This conference featured also a keynote presentation given by Professor Philip Yetton, University of New South Wales, Australia.
