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

CALL FOR PAPERS
Fiftieth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS-50)
January 4-7, 2017 (Wednesday-Saturday)
Hilton Waikoloa Village (http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com)

Submission deadline: June 15, 2016, 11:59 PM Hawaii Time

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

The objective of this minitrack is to contribute to the body of knowledge
that helps academics and practitioners to:
* investigate how IT can enable knowledge creation, retention, transfer and
application,
* 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 knowledge processes and structures in various (e.g.,
inter-organizational) levels of analysis.

Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this
minitrack are encouraged to explore (1) how IT can enhance or facilitate
the creation, retention, transfer, and application of knowledge; (2) the
design, evaluation, and deployment of knowledge systems that integrate
emerging technologies like social media, mashups, and ubiquitous IT; (3)
project management methods and tools involved in the design and deployment
of knowledge systems; and/or (4) changes in knowledge processes and
structures due to the use of these technologies. We welcome papers that
study IT-enabled knowledge management processes from both an intra- and
inter-organizational perspective as well as papers that present an
integrative view spanning the entire life-cycle of knowledge systems – from
knowledge systems design through deployment to retirement.

Topics relevant for submissions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Theoretical models and empirical research describing how IT can enable
the creation, retention, transfer and/or application of tacit and/or
explicit knowledge
* Development of frameworks for classifying IT-enabled knowledge management
processes
* Methodologies, tools, processes, and technologies for developing
knowledge systems
* Management of design and deployment projects of knowledge systems
* Empirical studies in designing and using knowledge systems
* Case studies focusing on the implementation of knowledge management
technologies (e.g., virtual reality, social media, expert systems, data
analytics, machine learning, e-learning) and processes
* 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)
* Design processes, representations, and/or kernel (reference) theories for
co-designing and/or co-evolving work systems and knowledge systems
* Design science and design theory research in knowledge systems design and
deployment
* The organizational and/or inter-organizational value of tacit knowledge
management
* Boundary objects in various forms of IT
* Issues in, limitations of, and barriers to tacit knowledge management

review.
August 16: Acceptance/Rejection notification will be sent to authors.
September 4: Submission deadline for AM papers.
September 15: Deadline for submitting final manuscript for publication to
the Publication System.
