UPDATE: Preliminary agenda is finalized!

From the early start of the IS discipline, practices, organization, and management of IS Development, have been central research areas. New techniques and methods are becoming popular to develop systems as quickly and efficiently as possible, especially with business development goals in mind.  

However, in practice, projects continue to fail at a high rate, measured by delays, time and budget overruns, and the inability to meet expected functionality and quality. 

Low code development platforms (LCDPs) may be a solution to overcome these aforementioned issues as they allow the quick development and deployment of applications. By offering easy to handle development processes that typically require no code, LCDPs are enabling the democratization of IT development. When it comes to developing novel software artifacts, so-called citizen developers are no longer reliant on the coding skills of IT developers. Further, LCDPs are not completely code free and also enable more sophisticated development projects. This enables individuals with a non-IT background to re- and upskill towards IT development, and also enables the sustainable co-creation of digital environments in tandems between software developers and business owners. 

This ECIS 2023 workshop (13 June 2023) provides a forum for discussing research related to LCDPs, based on a phenomenon-driven approach. See the call for papers for further details.
