CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-Fifth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS-45)
January 4 - 7, 2012 (Wednesday-Saturday)
Grand Walea on Maui (http://www.grandwailea.com)

Track: Knowledge Systems
Minitrack: Integrating Knowledge and Learning Processes

This minitrack discusses knowledge management (KM) from an integrated 
perspective, i.e., the integration of knowledge management, learning, and 
business processes. It mainly focuses on two issues: a) how can 
knowledge,learning and business processes be integrated, and b) how can 
the related systems be integrated to enable an efficient workflow. 
Currently, even less learning environments take the context and the 
environment into account. Using mobile and ubiquitous technologies can 
lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such learning 
environments: from static to highly contextualized knowledge and learning 
experiences. Based on the integration of knowledge and learning systems 
into social networks and social media applications, formal and informal 
collaborative interactions will further enhance this effect. This 
minitrack focuses on the adoption and diffusion of corresponding 
approaches: How can knowledge, learning and business processes as well as 
the related systems be designed and interrelated for successful adoption 
and diffusion? This is the minitrack's leading question.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* Integrating knowledge, learning and business processes as well as 
respective systems
* Using social networks and social media applications for KM and 
e-learning integration
* Contextualization, e.g. location-based services, mobile solutions, 
internationalization
* Usage, adoption, and success of integrated KM and learning systems
* Determining and measuring Return on Education (RoE)
* Concepts for competence-based learning
* Approaches for self-directed learning
* Concepts for open educational resources (OER)
* Implementations and case studies of integrated KM and learning systems

The minitrack should lead to comprehensive insights into integrated 
knowledge and learning solutions, bringing together researchers and 
practitioners interested in combining findings from two different fields. 
The content ranges from scientific approaches via prototypical 
implementations up to field reports. We encourage contributions addressing 
technology-oriented as well as human-oriented approaches.

HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the 
information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in 
both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual, 
tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be 
included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer 
Society.

Important 2011 Deadlines for Authors:
* From now to June 1 [Optional]: Prepare Abstracts. Then, contact 
Minitrack Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content.
* June 15: Authors submit full papers by this date, following the author 
instructions (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_45/apahome45.htm). All 
papers will be submitted in double column publication format and limited 
to 10 pages including diagrams and references. HICSS papers undergo a 
double-blind review (June15 - August15); therefore, this submission must 
be without author names.
* August 15: Review System emails Acceptance Notices to authors. It is 
very important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the 
conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or 
fiscal/funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make sure your 
server accepts the address from our review system 
https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.
* September 15: Early Registration fee deadline. (Fees will increase on 
Sept 16 and Dec 16.) Add author names to paper, and submit Final Paper for 
Publication. At least one author of each paper should register by this 
date in order secure publication in the Proceedings.
* October 15: Papers without at least one registered author will be 
deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled for presentation; authors 
will be so notified by the Conference Office.

Instructions for Paper Submission:
* Submit your full manuscript by June 15, and if accepted, submit the 
Final Version by Sept 15, according to detailed instructions posted on the 
HICSS website.
* HICSS papers must contain original material. They may not have been 
previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. All submissions 
undergo a double-blind peer review process.
* Abstracts are optional, but strongly recommended. You may contact the 
Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or verification of content.
* Submit a paper to only one Minitrack. If a paper is submitted to more 
than one minitrack either paper may be rejected by either minitrack 
without consultation with author. If you are not sure of the appropriate 
Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) for determination, 
and/or seek opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting.
* Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers. This means that an 
individual may be listed as author/co-author on no more than 5 submitted 
papers. Track Chairs must approve any names added after submission or 
acceptance.
