Dear Colleagues, Professor PingSun Leung, Professor Arno Scharl, and I are co-chairing a mini-track at the upcoming Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS 2019), January 5-8, Grand Hyatt, Kauai, Hawaii, U.S.A. The mini-track is entitled "Sustainability in the Fourth Industrial Age: Technologies, Systems and Analytics". As co-mini-track chairs we would like to personally invite you to submit a paper and/or serve as a reviewer for the mini-track. The mini-track welcomes research articles and practitioner reports exploring technical and organizational issues pertaining to innovative ways for leveraging information systems and technologies for addressing sustainability issues and research that aim to mitigate the impact of economic development and information technologies on the environment. The mini-track encompasses environmental informatics and analytics, sustainable computing, and Green IT. Theoretically founded papers that illustrate the application of analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, information systems and decision technologies in environmental management for sustainability are particularly welcomed. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Agriculture 4.0

Analytics and decision technologies

Climate smart agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries

Environmental sustainability and decision making

Environmental knowledge acquisition and management

Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS), Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS), and Green Information Systems (IS)

Green IT

Environmental cyberinfrastructure

Environmental communication

Energy informatics

Technologies for DSS development and environmental applications (e.g., GIS, information visualization, computational intelligence, IoT, web services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, agent-based computing, and multiple-criteria decision making) If you are seriously interested in submitting a manuscript for review please note the following important Dates:

April 15: Paper submission begins.

June 15 | 11:59 pm HST : Paper submission deadline

August 17 | 11:59 pm HST : Notification of Acceptance/Rejection

September 22: Deadline for authors to submit final manuscript for publication

October 1: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for the conference Author guidelines are available at: http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ <http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/> If you are willing to be a reviewer please notify us as soon as possible and indicate the number of manuscripts (1 or 2) you would be willing to seriously review between Mid June and Mid August 2014. The review process is all electronic now and you will be send information on how to perform reviews after we hear from you that you are willing to review.

We hope that this mini-track stimulates the interests of researchers to this exciting and rich problem domain. We very much appreciate your assistance in spreading the word and soliciting papers for this mini-track. Please feel free to send the call for papers to whomever may be interested or let me know whom do you recommend me to contact.

Please contact me if you have questions and thank you very much for your support and consideration.
