CALL FOR PAPERS
LOCATION INTELLIGENCE TRACK
HICSS-56 (Jan 3-6, 2023)
(Apologies for cross-listings)
Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit papers to the Location
Intelligence track at The Hawaii International Conference on
System Sciences
(HICSS-56
<https://hicss.hawaii.edu/#!future-conferences/ctld>,
Jan 3-6, 2023, Maui, Hawaii).
Location Analytics has emerged as an important set of analytics
concepts, tools and techniques with increasingly critical
applications in the private, public and non-profit sectors. The
entire geospatial industry has grown to be a worldwide market of
$430 billion, fueled by advances in GIS spatial technology and a
growing demand by organizations for use of location analytics
across a spectrum of industries. The goal of this invited track is
to highlight the use and potential of location analytics across
the domains of system sciences that are represented at HICSS.
At HICSS-56 (2023), the Location Intelligence track is expanding
to 4 mini-tracks (MTs) -
[A] Geospatial Big Data Analytics,
[B] GIS, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability,
[C] Geospatial Analytics Education, Training, and Workforce
Development, and
[D] Location Analytics for System Sciences Research.
*********************************************
[A] Geospatial Big Data Analytics
This mini-track provides a forum for geospatial big data research
using cutting-edge scientific approaches to provide spatial
insights to complex problems and systems in business, government,
and society. The goal of this mini track is to highlight the use
and potential of Geospatial Big Data in a range of areas,
including but not limited to:
(A1) Commercial Services,
(A2) Health Care,
(A3) Public Sector,
(A4) Geospatial Big Data and Personal Location Data,
(A5) Geospatial Big Data and Location Intelligence.
*********************************************
[B] GIS, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability
This mini-track provides a research forum aiming to discuss the
varied facets of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Industry
4.0 and sustainability. The fourth Industrial Revolution is
characterized by emerging technologies, such as AI, IoT,
blockchain, and the Cloud. Location data and spatial features
embedded in such emerging technologies often facilitate and
accelerate technological advancements in connected vehicles,
connected homes, smart cities, and Industrial IoT, which can
improve economic conditions and reduce negative societal impacts.
Topic areas include but are not limited to:
(B1) GIS and Industry 4.0,
(B2) GIS and environmental sustainability,
(B3) GIS and smart cities,
(B4) GIS, government, and NGOs,
(B5) Societal Issues with big spatial data,
(B6) Spatial aspects of the sharing economy,
(B7) Mobile location-based applications,
(B8) Cloud-based or web-based GIS concepts and applications,
(B9) Spatial crowdsourcing
*********************************************
[C] Geospatial Education, Training, and Workforce Development
This mini-track aims to explore the teaching, training, and
workforce development of geospatial analytics topics (e.g.,
geospatial methods, geospatial tools, geo-visualization,
artificial intelligence, big data, geo-medicine, public policies,
cybersecurity, governance, and geospatial analyses/tools during a
pandemic situation, among others). There is a need to develop
sustainable and innovative approaches for education, training,
competencies, workforce development, and curricular innovation in
geospatial analytics. Scholars interested in sharing applied,
conceptual, theoretical, technological, methodological, and
empirical contributions employing various systems sciences methods
(e.g., empirical research, teaching cases, curriculum innovation,
design-oriented research, case studies, and action research) are
invited to submit. Rigorous research papers from disciplines where
geospatial data are central (e.g., data science, engineering,
computer sciences, environmental sciences, medicine and health
sciences, management, marketing, economics, real estate, and
supply chain) are also welcome.
(C1) Geospatial analytics education in the system sciences
(C2) Geospatial analytics training in the system sciences
(C3) Curricular innovation with GIS and location analytics
(C4) Pedagogical approaches of location analytics infusion in
various disciples
(C5) Geospatial competencies for system sciences
(C6) Geospatial workforce development
(C7) Case studies in geospatial analytics education in academia,
industry, and government
*********************************************
[D] Location Analytics for System Sciences Research:
This mini-track seeks scholarly research papers 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. Topic areas include but are not limited to:
(D1) Spatial Business
(D2) Spatial Health and Healthcare
(D3) Sustainability and Climate Change
(D4) Industry Clusters and Community Development
(D5) Emergency Management and Public Safety
(D6) Location Analytics for Spatial Big Data
(D7) Spatial Theory, Concepts and Methods
(D8) Locational Data Privacy and Security
(D9) Novel Theories and Applications of Geo-AI/ML in Business and
Society
(D10) Novel Theories and Applications of Geo-Blockchain in
Business and Society
(D11) Advances in Indoor Positioning Systems, Location Tracking,
and Wayfinding
(D12) Geospatial Analytics and Digital Twins
Paper submission deadline is JUNE 15, 2022.
