*************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-Ninth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS-49)
January 5-8, 2016 (Tuesday-Friday)
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa (
http://kauai.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html)

Track: Knowledge Innovation and Entrepreneurial Systems (
http://www.hicss.org/#!track8/c1pkx)
Minitrack: Designing and Deploying Advanced Knowledge Systems (
http://www.hicss.org/#!designing-and-deploying-knowledge-system/cbcm)

The objective of this minitrack is to contribute to the body of knowledge
that helps academics and practitioners to:
* design, deploy and evaluate advanced knowledge systems,
* explore and leverage appropriate project management methods and tools for
designing and deploying knowledge systems, and
* study changing organizational knowledge processes and structures.

Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this
minitrack are encouraged to explore (1) the design, evaluation and
deployment of knowledge systems that integrate emerging technologies like
social media, mashups, ubiquitous IT; (2) project management methods and
tools involved in the design and deployment of such knowledge systems;
and/or (3) changing organizational knowledge processes and structures due
to the use of these technologies. We welcome an integrative view spanning
the entire life-cycle of knowledge systems - from knowledge systems design
through deployment to retirement.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* Methodologies, tools, processes, and technologies for developing
knowledge systems
* Management of design and deployment projects of knowledge systems
* Empirical studies of designing and using knowledge systems
* Systems design for social knowledge creation and use (e.g. social media
system architectures)
* Incorporating and/or integrating knowledge services and mashups, social
media, Web 2.0, cloud computing, and/or ubiquitous technologies in
knowledge systems
* The design, evaluation and/or use of processes, semantic technologies,
knowledge retrieval and representation methods, and/or systems to map,
track, and/or visualize social networks and/or work systems in order to
facilitate knowledge creation and sharing and quick problem solving (e.g.,
when unexpected coordination breakdowns emerge)
* Co-design of organizational work systems and knowledge systems
* Design processes and representations for designing work systems and
knowledge systems
* The role of organizational digital natives in the design and use of
knowledge systems
* Design science and design theory research in knowledge systems design and
deployment
* Kernel (reference) theories for knowledge systems design and deployment
(e.g., theories for individual, team and organizational learning)

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 and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library.

2015 Dates For Submission to HICSS-49 (
http://www.hicss.org/#!call-for-papers/c1cd9):
June 15: Deadline to submit full manuscripts for review. Review is
double-blind; therefore this submission must be without author names.
August 16: Acceptance/Rejection notification will be sent to authors. All
travel guarantees – including visa or fiscal/ funding procedures – should
begin immediately after you receive the notification of acceptance. Make
sure your server accepts the address from our review system.
August 19: Contact your Minitrack Chair if you have not received
acceptance/rejection notification
August 16 - September 4: If your paper is accepted with mandatory changes
(AM), you must make specified changes, and resubmit your paper to the Paper
Submission and Review System for reconsideration, still without author
names.
September 4: Submission deadline for AM papers
September 11: Contact your Minitrack Chair if you have not received a
revised decision
September 15: Deadline for submitting final manuscript for publication to
the Publication System (not the previous Paper Submission and Review
System). Add author names, affiliation, and email address to your papers.
At least one author of each paper should register by September 15 in order
secure publication in the Conference Proceedings.
October 1: Early Registration fee ($675) deadline. (Fees will increase to
$750 on October 2 and $850 on December 2.)
October 15: Papers without at least one registered author will be removed
from the Proceedings. Authors will be so notified.

How and When to Submit a Paper (http://www.hicss.org/#!call-for-papers/c1cd9
):
* Please follow Author Instructions (
http://www.hicss.org/#!author-instructions/c1dsb) for all details on
submitting a paper to an upcoming HICSS Conference.
* All papers must be submitted to a minitrack (
http://www.hicss.org/#!tracks-and-minitracks/c12zq). Minitracks are part of
our 10 larger tracks. Make sure you understand the focus of a minitrack
before submitting your paper to ensure you are submitting to the best
possible fit for your research.
* HICSS papers must contain original material. They may not be previously
published, nor currently submitted elsewhere.
* Abstracts are optional. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) or Track
Chair for guidance or verification of content. If you are not sure of the
appropriate Minitrack, submit a preliminary abstract to the Minitrack
Chair(s) or Track Chair via email for determination.
* Submit a paper to only one Minitrack (
https://precisionconference.com/~hicss/). Submissions to more than one
minitrack may result in rejection by either minitrack without consultation
with author.
* Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers. Track Chairs must approve
any names added after submission.
