CALL FOR PAPERS
LOCATION ANALYTICS FOR SYSTEM SCIENCES RESEARCH MINITRACK
HICSS-56 (Jan 3-6, 2023)
Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit research papers to the
LOCATION ANALYTICS FOR SYSTEM SCIENCES RESEARCH MINITRACK, which
is part of the Location Intelligence track at HICSS-56 (January
3-6, 2023, Maui, Hawaii).
*Description of the minitrack*
This minitrack aims to foster research and collaboration in the
expansive, multi-disciplinary area of locational intelligence.
Digital transformation is leading to application of locational
data for organizational intelligence and decision making in the
areas of business operations, marketing, management information
systems, supply chain management and logistics, environment,
natural resources, healthcare, retail, sharing economy, public
safety, risk mitigation and disaster management, among others.
Scholarly research papers are sought that apply a variety of
theories and empirical techniques, quantitative, and qualitative,
to understand how location, geography, and related data are
increasingly important to incorporate into the system sciences.
There is a need to develop new theories and modify existing ones
for the systems sciences that incorporate spatial data, locational
intelligence, and geographical concepts. Current concepts of data
science, big data, trust, and privacy need attention in addressing
locational intelligence research questions.
Research papers will be solicited across a range of topics,
including but not limited to:
** Spatial Business: Analyses that address a range of business
functions, including marketing, customer relations, operations,
logistics, supply chain, asset and risk management
** Spatial Health and Healthcare: Analyses that address locational
dimensions of health and delivery of healthcare.
** Industry Clusters and Community Development: Analyses that
address spatial aspects of economic development and community
impacts, including infrastructure, workforce, environmental
impacts, and social inequalities.
** Emergency Management and Public Safety: Studies of systems for
locational intelligence and decision-making in crises and
emergencies.
** Location Analytics for Spatial Big Data: Analyses that
introduce and enhance such emerging areas of space-time modeling,
spatial analytics, locational decision-making, geography of the
sharing economy, and spatially referenced social media.
** Spatial Theory, Concepts and Methods: Analyses that explore
innovative approaches to advancing spatial theory, concepts, and
methods.
** Locational Data Privacy and Security: Research on the issues
and problems of locational data privacy and security.
** Novel Theories and Applications of Geo-AI/ML in Business and
Society
** Novel Theories and Applications of Geo-Blockchain in Business
and Society
** Advances in Indoor Positioning Systems, Location Tracking, and
Wayfinding
** Geospatial Analytics and Digital Twins
