HICSS-55 CALL FOR PAPERS LOCATION ANALYTICS FOR SYSTEM SCIENCES RESEARCH MINITRACK HICSS-55 (Jan 4-7, 2022)

*Title of Mini-Track: GIS, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability*

*Track: Location Intelligence*

*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 AI, 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,

*Mini-Track Co-Chairs:*
