CALL FOR PAPERS 

Forty-Eight Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences 
(HICSS-48) 

January 5 - 8, 2015 

Grand Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii


Track: DECISION ANALYTICS, MOBILE SERVICES AND SERVICE SCIENCE

Minitrack: DECISION MAKING IN PRODUCTION PROCESSES

Today, manufacturing industries are facing massive challenges, e. g. 
changing market conditions, individual customer preferences, international 
competitions, etc. They depend on innovation in their internal production 
processes, new strategies and technologies. This minitrack sets its focus 
in typical problems of manufacturing industries.  Researchers and 
practitioners will explore and discuss potential approaches and effective 
solutions.  In order to successfully compete in markets, it is essential 
that we conduct efficient analysis of production processes, select 
appropriate technical solutions, develop new approaches to timely solve 
special requirements. The objective of this minitrack is to explore 
suitable solutions or paradigms to design, implement and deploy 
intelligent systems, and/or adapt them to given contexts. We want to 
discuss the transferability of general concepts to shop floor level in the 
perspective of research and practice. Papers should illustrate the 
application of decision-making approaches in manufacturing or service 
contexts. 

The focus of the minitrack includes but is not limited to the following 
topics:
        •       Combination of central and decentral planning approaches
        •       Shop floor optimization by decentralized production 
control
        •       Use of autonomous production control
        •       Realization of decentralized production control
        •       Reduction of complexity by decentralized decision making
        •       Standardization of factory object communication
        •       Benefits of autonomous production systems
        •       Escalation mechanisms in autonomous production planning 
and control • Smart intelligent objects
        •       Big data analysis and shop floor analytics 
        •       Life span decision making
        •       Decision problems in batch production


Important Deadlines for Authors: 
From now to June 1 [Optional]: Prepare Abstracts. Then, contact Minitrack 
Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content.
June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review. Review is double-blind; 
therefore this submission must be without author names.
Aug 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. At least one author of each 
accepted paper must immediately make plans to attend the conference, 
including initiating fiscal, visa, or other travel guarantees.
Sep 15: Early Registration fee deadline. (Fees will increase on Sept 16 
and Dec 1.) At least one author of each paper should register by Sept 15 
in order secure publication in the Conference Proceedings. Add author 
names, and submit Final Paper for Publication to the Submission site (not 
previous review site).
Oct 15: Papers without at least one registered author will be deleted from 
the Proceedings; authors will be so notified.


How to Submit a Paper: 
Follow Author Instructions on the conference web site. 
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm
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; so initial submission must be 
without author names.
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, then either paper may be rejected by either minitrack 
without consultation with author or other chairs. If you are not sure of 
the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) – see 
names and contact information below. for determination, and/or seek 
informal 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 or co-author on no more than 5 
submitted papers. Track Chairs must approve any names added after 
submission or acceptance on August 15.
