CFP: Design, Realization Implementation, Use and Effect of  Mobile Value
Services at HICSS46

Within the 46th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS), we organise a minitrack on Design, Realization Implementation, Use
and Effect of Mobile Value Services. The 46th HICSS, one of the most
prominent Conferences on Information Sciences worldwide, will be held
January 7-10, 2013, in Maui, Hawaii (http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu).

BACKGROUND

We are witnessing enormous growth and development in mobile technologies as
well as applications and services. At the same time our understanding on
business models and value creation is not as advanced as necessary to
contribute sound modelling of phenomena, deriving theoretical explanations
or provide guidance for these developments. To overcome this lack of
understanding we invite contributions of all types of research opening up
new perspectives and offering insight for a better understanding.
 
This mini-track covers different aspects of design, realization and
implementation, use and effect of mobile value services. We focus on
business aspects, such as business models, business impacts of mobile
information systems, use of mobile apps and platforms in a business
environment as well as their effects on the one hand as well as more
technology and design oriented aspects on the other hand. Mobile application
development either native or following a cross-platform approach is an
important topic.
 
As HICSS is addressing leading edge developments, we especially encourage
submissions on issues as: adaptability and adaptivity of mobile services and
platforms, on mobile cloud services, and on the role and relevance of
reliability, privacy and security. For the business oriented part of the
mini-track submissions on business models, platforms in relation with (open
and closed) micro eco-systems within a business environment, for special
application areas such as mobile life, mobile participation or mobile
services are invited. We favor papers that pay attention to life styles and
segmentation, and to specific market segments like the aging population, the
poor and the underserved. We are less interested in adoption and acceptance
papers, but would welcome studies on use and effect of mobile applications
and platforms in business environments.
 
We seek mobile business research papers, case studies, and practitioner
reports related to business aspects of stakeholders like device
manufacturers, service providers, system and application developers and
operators, as well as ordinary businesses. Of special interest are
conceptual and empirical papers analyzing business and business model
aspects, including mobile services and application development and design
that go beyond existing technologies and for instance look into cloud or
sensor technologies. The mini-track provides a venue to present and debate
theory-based solutions for problems that industry is currently facing in the
mobile service landscape. Such applications will contribute to the
advancement of user-inspired and consumer centric information systems design
within this paradigm. We welcome studies with either qualitative or
quantitative research methods as well as design research.
