AIS Impact Award 2024 goes to Professor Matti Rossi and his team
Association for Information Systems (AIS) awarded Professor Matti Rossi and his team Kalle Lyytinen, Juha-Pekka Tolvanen, Steven Kelly, and Pentti Marttiin the AIS Impact Award 2024. This award is a wonderful example for researchers encouraging and enabling entrepreneurs. It was given during ICIS 2024 in Bangkok on 16 December 2024.
The award came for the MetaEdit tool that is sold by MetaCase Consulting plc and is based on research in the MetaPHOR project (http://metaphor.it.jyu.fi). The application for the award came with an impressive set of seven cases providing evidence for impact, one of them reads: “The Domain Specific Modeling solution makes development significantly faster and easier than the old manual coding practices. A module that was expected to take two weeks now took one day from the start of the design to the finished product.” Related publications have appeared in the Journal of AIS among others.
The International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)
The International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) is the most prestigious gathering of information systems academics and research-oriented practitioners in the world. Every year its 270 or so papers and panel presentations are selected from more than 800 submissions. The conference activities are primarily delivered by and for academics, though many of the papers and panels have a strong professional orientation.
ICIS was founded in 1980 at UCLA and the first conference was held at the University of Pennsylvania as the "Conference on Information Systems". By 1986, particularly as the result of Canadian and European attendance and participation, "International" was appended to the name, thereby creating the International Conference on Information Systems. ICIS became truly international in 1990 when the conference was first held outside North America in Copenhagen, Denmark. This year’s ICIS was held in Bangkok, Thailand, 15–18 December 2024.

Researchers aim to correct quantum errors at super-cold temperatures instead of room temperature
One of the major challenges in the development of quantum computers is that the quantum bits, or qubits, are too imprecise. More efficient quantum error correction is therefore needed to make quantum computers more widely available in the future. Professor Mikko Möttönen has proposed a novel solution for quantum error correction and has received a three-year grant from the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation to develop it.
