[AISWorld] HICSS 2019 minitrack-Sustainability in the Fourth Industrial Age: Technologies, Systems and Analytics

[Omar El-Gayar]

Dear Colleagues,
Professor PingSun Leung, Professor Arno Scharl, and I are co-chairing a mini-track at the upcoming Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS 2019), January 5-8, Grand Hyatt, Kauai, Hawaii, U.S.A. The mini-track is entitled "Sustainability in the Fourth Industrial Age: Technologies, Systems and Analytics". As co-mini-track chairs we would like to personally invite you to submit a paper and/or serve as a reviewer for the mini-track. 

The mini-track welcomes research articles and practitioner reports exploring technical and organizational issues pertaining to innovative ways for leveraging information systems and technologies for addressing sustainability issues and research that aim to mitigate the impact of economic development and information technologies on the environment. The mini-track encompasses environmental informatics and analytics, sustainable computing, and Green IT. Theoretically founded papers that illustrate the application of analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, information systems and decision technologies in environmental management for sustainability are particularly welcomed. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

                Agriculture 4.0

                Analytics and decision technologies

                Climate smart agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries

                Environmental sustainability and decision making

                Environmental knowledge acquisition and management

                Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS), Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS), and Green Information Systems (IS)

                Green IT

                Environmental cyberinfrastructure

                Environmental communication

                Energy informatics

               Technologies for DSS development and environmental applications (e.g., GIS, information visualization, 
                            computational intelligence, IoT, web services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, agent-based computing, and multiple-criteria decision making) 

If you are seriously interested in submitting a manuscript for review please note the following important Dates:

                April 15: Paper submission begins.

                June 15 | 11:59 pm HST : Paper submission deadline

                August 17 | 11:59 pm HST : Notification of Acceptance/Rejection

                September 22: Deadline for authors to submit final manuscript for publication

                October 1: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for the conference
