CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-Forth Annual Hawai'i
International
Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-44)
January 4 - 7, 2011 (Tuesday-Friday)
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa
on Kauai (http://kauai.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp)
Track: Knowledge Systems
Minitrack: Web 2.0/3.0 Technologies,
Mashups, KM Tools, and Design Sciences Approaches
The objective of this minitrack is to
develop architectures of knowledge systems to support organizations
facing
changing environments. Organizational decision-making and learning are
people-intensive processes. Individuals learn and share what they have
learned with those “nearby” them, who in turn share knowledge with
others.
In this manner, knowledge propagates or “spirals” throughout the
organization
and beyond (Nonaka 1994, 1998; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). This growth
of knowledge and the understanding it brings enable organizations to
react
quickly to changing environments, a necessity for survival. However,
because
these needs are so strongly based in the social perspective, we believe
that technological support of these systems should have a foundation
that
can recognize the social aspects of knowledge creation and use (see,
for
example, Brown and Duguid 2000).
Researchers and practitioners
interested
in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to explore
knowledge
management (KM) architectures, tools, and Web 2.0/3.0 technologies such
as mashups in the context of knowledge systems – for example as related
to supporting knowledge use and transfer or to organizational learning,
particularly from a design science perspective. We welcome a wide range
of approaches that focus on architectural design for knowledge-based or
learning organizations.
Topics and research areas include, but
are not limited to:
* Methodologies, tools, processes,
technologies
for developing knowledge and/or organizational memory systems
* Empirical studies of designing and
using KM tools and knowledge systems
* Systems design for social knowledge
creation and use, e.g. social media system architectures
* Knowledge services and mashups
* Web 2.0/3.0 technologies as part of
knowledge systems
* KM tools that map, track, or
visualize
social networks to facilitate knowledge sharing
* Evaluation of knowledge retrieval
and representation methods
* Using semantic technologies to
implement
knowledge retrieval and representation
* Developing processes and systems for
knowledge visualization techniques
* Science of design and design theory
* Philosophical foundations of design
science
* Evaluation of design science research
* Design processes
* Representations for design
* Design evolution
* Business and organizational design
* Design for innovation
* Design economics
* Modularity and rules in design
* Architectures for design
* Meta-design control in design
* Design of software-intensive systems
* Learning-based systems design

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, and carried by Explore, the
IEEE
Digital Library (http://computer.org/press).
Submissions must not have been previously published or be under
submission
elsewhere; all submissions undergo a double-blind peer referee process.
Important Deadlines:
* 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_44/apahome44.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: Acceptance notices are
emailed to authors by the Review System. (Make sure your server accepts
the address.) At least one author of each accepted paper must
immediately
make plans to attend the conference, including initiating fiscal, visa,
or other travel guarantees.
* September 15: Authors submit Final
Version of papers following submission instructions posted on the HICSS
website. At least one author of each paper should register by this
date.
This is the Early Registration fee deadline.
* October 15: Papers without at least
one registered author will be deleted from the Proceedings; 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.
* An individual may be listed as
author
or as a co-author on a maximum of 6 submitted papers. Authors may not
be
added after submission unless approved by the appropriate Track Chair.
* HICSS papers must contain original
material not previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere.
* You may submit a paper to only one
minitrack. Duplicate submissions may be rejected by any or all
minitracks,
without consultation with author. If you are unsure of which minitrack
is appropriate, please submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) for
guidance.
* HICSS will conduct double-blind
reviews
of each submitted paper. Therefore, author name(s) are not to be
included
on the manuscript during the June 15 submission process.
