The HICSS series of conferences has become a unique and respected forum in computer and information systems and technology for the exchange of ideas among the researchers and development communities in North America, the Asian and Pacific Basin nations, Europe, and the Middle East.
A TRACK consists of three full days of parallel technical sessions, coupled with a set of advanced seminars and tutorials. A MINITRACK is either a half-day or a full day of technical sessions. All sessions are conducted in a workshop-like setting and participants often participate in several different tracks. HICSS is sponsored by the College of Business Administration, University of Hawaii at Manoa. The first day always consist of tutorials followed by 3 days of paper presentations.
=================================================================== Proposal Contents =================================================================== The proposals should be on timely and important topics in the field. Your proposal should be about five pages long and should include the following:
1) Define the proposed technical area, discuss the topics the minitrack will address, and describe how they fit into the area.
2) Discuss how these topics have recently been covered in other Conferences and publications to substantiate that HICSS is not only an appropriate and timely forum for the topics but also that there is a body of unpublished good work to draw from.
3) If you are proposing a continuation of a current minitrack at HICSS-35, include a report of the current minitrack showing the number of papers received, number of papers accepted, and the themes for this year. Then explain how next year will extend or build on this year.
4) Include: a) short paragraph (50 words) describing the topics of your minitrack for inclusion in the final Call for Papers, to be used in case your proposal is approved by the advisory committee. b) a short bio-sketch c) an explicit statement that your organization endorses your involvement and attendance at HICSS and has the infrastructure to support that involvement as described in the enclosed list below regarding giving the responsibilities of minitrack chairs
=================================================================== Submission Instructions =================================================================== 1. You must submit a proposal to be considered. No acceptance of minitracks will be made without a formal written proposal

The Responsibilities of Minitrack Chairs
Interacting with authors and referees in a fair and professional manner and employing control mechanisms that increase the overall quality of the meeting are among the major responsibilities of a HICSS Minitrack Chair. You are to solicit manuscripts, have them refereed, collaborate with the Track Chair (if needed) to determine which manuscripts are to be accepted, structure the sessions, introduce the speakers in your sessions, and act as the moderator of the forum.
More detailed responsibilities are summarized as follows:
* Workshop-like Setting * Solicit Manuscripts for the Minitrack * Acquire Referees Who Will Critically Review the Submitted Manuscripts * Accept Manuscripts for the Minitrack * Re-publication of the Manuscripts * Write an Introduction to the Minitrack for the Proceedings * Select the Best Paper Candidate from the Manuscripts
