CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i
International
Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS-45)
January 4 - 7, 2012
(Wednesday-Saturday)
Grand Walea on Maui (http://www.grandwailea.com)
Track: Knowledge Systems
Minitrack: Integrating Knowledge and
Learning
Processes
This minitrack discusses knowledge
management
(KM) from an integrated perspective, i.e., the integration of
knowledge
management, learning, and business processes. It mainly focuses on
two
issues: a) how can knowledge,learning and business processes be
integrated,
and b) how can the related systems be integrated to enable an
efficient
workflow. Currently, even less learning environments take the
context and
the environment into account. Using mobile and ubiquitous
technologies
can lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such learning
environments:
from static to highly contextualized knowledge and learning
experiences.
Based on the integration of knowledge and learning systems into
social
networks and social media applications, formal and informal
collaborative
interactions will further enhance this effect. This minitrack
focuses on
the adoption and diffusion of corresponding approaches: How can
knowledge,
learning and business processes as well as the related systems be
designed
and interrelated for successful adoption and diffusion? This is
the minitrack's
leading question.
Topics and research areas include, but
are not limited to:
* Integrating knowledge, learning and
business
processes as well as respective systems
* Using social networks and social
media
applications for KM and e-learning integration
* Contextualization, e.g.
location-based
services, mobile solutions, internationalization
* Usage, adoption, and success of
integrated
KM and learning systems
* Determining and measuring Return on
Education
(RoE)
* Concepts for competence-based
learning
* Approaches for self-directed
learning
* Concepts for open educational
resources
(OER)
* Implementations and case studies of
integrated
KM and learning systems
The minitrack should lead to
comprehensive
insights into integrated knowledge and learning solutions,
bringing together
researchers and practitioners interested in combining findings
from two
different fields. The content ranges from scientific approaches
via prototypical
implementations up to field reports. We encourage contributions
addressing
technology-oriented as well as human-oriented approaches.

HICSS conferences are devoted to the
most
relevant advances in the information, computer, and system
sciences, and
encompass developments in both theory and practice. Accepted
papers may
be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature.
Those selected
for presentation will be included in the Conference Proceedings
published
by the IEEE Computer Society.
Important 2011 Deadlines for Authors:
* From now to June 1 [Optional]:
Prepare
Abstracts. Then, contact Minitrack Chairs for guidance and
indication of
appropriate content.
* June 15: Authors submit full papers
by
this date, following the author instructions (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_45/apahome45.htm).
All papers will be submitted in double column publication format
and limited
to 10 pages including diagrams and references. HICSS papers
undergo a double-blind
review (June15 - August15); therefore, this submission must be
without
author names.
* August 15: Review System emails
Acceptance
Notices to authors. It is very important that at least one author
of each
accepted paper attend the conference. Therefore, all travel
guarantees
– including visa or fiscal/funding procedures – should begin
immediately.
Make sure your server accepts the address from our review system https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.
* September 15: Early Registration fee
deadline. (Fees will increase on Sept 16 and Dec 16.) Add author
names
to paper, and submit Final Paper for Publication. At least one
author of
each paper should register by this date in order secure
publication in
the Proceedings.
* October 15: Papers without at least
one
registered author will be deleted from the Proceedings and not
scheduled
for presentation; authors will be so notified by the Conference
Office.
Instructions for Paper Submission:
* Submit your full manuscript by June
15,
and if accepted, submit the Final Version by Sept 15, according to
detailed
instructions posted on the HICSS website.
* HICSS papers must contain original
material.
They may not have been previously published, nor currently
submitted elsewhere.
All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process.
* Abstracts are optional, but strongly
recommended. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance
or verification
of content.
* Submit a paper to only one
Minitrack.
If a paper is submitted to more than one minitrack either paper
may be
rejected by either minitrack without consultation with author. If
you are
not sure of the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the
Track
Chair(s) for determination, and/or seek opinion(s) of Minitrack
Chair(s)
before submitting.
* Do not author or co-author more than
5 papers. This means that an individual may be listed as
author/co-author
on no more than 5 submitted papers. Track Chairs must approve any
names
added after submission or acceptance.
