Dear colleagues,

For the first time, HICSS-54 (January 5-8, 2021, Kauai) will feature a special track on Location Intelligence (https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-54/location-intelligence/).

CALL FOR PAPERS: Location Intelligence Research Minitrack, HICSS-54 (2021)

*Description of the minitrack:*

This minitrack aims to discuss the broad area of locational intelligence. Digital transformation is leading to application of locational data for organizational intelligence and decision making in the areas of business operations, marketing, logistics, supply chain, environment, natural resources, healthcare, retail, sharing economy, public safety, among others.? Research papers are sought that apply a variety of theories and empirical techniques, quantitative, and qualitative, to understand how geography and location 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.?

Research papers are solicited across a range of topics, including but not limited to:

* Spatial Business: Analyses that address a range of business functions, including marketing, customer relations, operations, logistics, supply chain, asset and risk management. * Spatial Health and Healthcare: Analyses that address locational dimensions of health and delivery of healthcare. * Sustainability and Climate Change: Analyses that explore the spatial dimensions of environmental sustainability and climate change. * Industry Clusters and Community Development: Analyses that address spatial aspects of economic development and community impacts, including infrastructure, workforce, environmental impacts, and social inequalities. * Emergency Management and Public Safety: Studies of systems for locational intelligence and decision-making in crises and emergencies. * Location Analytics for Spatial Big Data: Analyses that introduce and enhance such emerging areas of space-time modeling, spatial analytics, locational decision-making, geography of the sharing economy, and spatially referenced social media. * Spatial Theory, Concepts and Methods: Analyses that explore innovative approaches to advancing spatial theory, concepts, and methods. * Locational Data Privacy and Security: Research on the issues and problems of locational data privacy and security.
