CALL FOR PAPERS
GIS, INDUSTRY 4.0, AND SUSTAINABILITY
LOCATION INTELLIGENCE TRACK
HICSS-56 (Jan 3-6, 2023)
(apologies for cross-postings)
Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit research papers to the GIS,
INDUSTRY 4.0, AND SUSTAINABILITY MINITRACK, which is part of the
Location Intelligence track at HICSS-56 (January 3-6, 2023, Maui,
Hawaii).
Mini-Track Description:
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 machine learning,
IoT, blockchain, and the Cloud, which can improve economic
conditions and reduce negative societal impacts. Industry trends
increasingly focus on sustainable business practices,
responsiveness to climate change, and related social and
environmental issues. GIS (or location analytics) is one of the
key technologies of Industry 4.0. IoT generates an enormous amount
of data, a big portion of which is geospatial data that must be
stored in the Cloud and analyzed in real time for better
decision-making and prediction. 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 are bound
to create not just extensive opportunities for economic gains, but
also a positive externality of ecological sustainability.
This mini-track solicits and invites completed research papers
from both academics and practitioners across the following topics,
but not limited to:
1. GIS and Industry 4.0,
2. GIS and environmental sustainability,
3. GIS and smart cities,
4. GIS, government, and NGOs,
5. Societal issues with big spatial data,
6. Spatial aspects of the sharing economy,
7. Mobile location-based applications,
8. Cloud-based or web-based GIS concepts and applications,
9. Spatial crowdsourcing,
10. Benefits of GIS and location analytics
11. Emerging areas of GIS and location analytics
