Call For Papers: HICSS 52 (2019)-Mini-track on *Data Science and Digital
Collaborations*

For *Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track*

*Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences*

HICSS-52: Jan 8th to 11th 2019| Maui, Hawaii

*Call for Papers*
Data science and analytics for collaboration is the study of generalizable
extraction of knowledge from structured and/or unstructured data to support
human collaboration within and across groups and organizations. The new
actionable knowledge gained is expected to support achieving collaborative
goals such as innovation, idea generation, decision making, negotiation,
and execution. Data science and analytics for collaboration couples a
systematic study of collection, aggregation, organization, processing, and
analysis of data. In addition, it requires deep understanding of
formulating problems valuable for collaboration, engineering effective
solutions to the collaboration problems, and ways to effectively
communicate findings across roles ranging from business managers to data
analysts. There is a continued interest in organizations looking for ways
to increase value from data science and using it to address business
challenges. One promising way for businesses and organizations to enhance
their performance or competitiveness is by investigating how data science
and analytics can facilitate collaboration both internally and externally.
For example, businesses are trying to understand how data science and
analytics can help engage customers and improve operation efficiency and
how it can use social media to support corporate knowledge management.
Another example is collaborative creation of ideas and solutions through
crowdsourcing and online communities (such asdominodatalab.com). Access to
heterogeneous, voluminous, and unverified data presents both new
opportunities and challenges for addressing collaboration problems. Yet
another example is the collection of data by the public around the world
which is then used by scientists working on Genographic data by National
Geographics.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



   - Challenges and opportunities of data science for collaboration
   - Analysis of big data for collaboration
   - Collaboration across organizations for social impact through analytics
   - Collection, aggregation, and organization of collaborative big data
   - Managing heterogeneous big data from collaborative sources
   - Visualization of collaborative big data
   - Data science for collaborative work (decision making, problem solving,
   negotiation, and creativity/innovation)
   - Data science and analytics for inter-organizational collaboration
   - Crowdsourcing analytics for collaborative tasks
   - Security and privacy issues in collaborative data science
   - Data science in collaborative creation or innovation
   - Human factors in applying data science for collaboration
   - Team building in data science for collaboration
   - Case studies on data science for collaboration: Adaptive collaboration
   systems that feature modeling, collaboration, and advanced analytics to
   detect patterns, make sense of, simulate, predict, learn, take action, and
   improve performance with use and scale.
   - Knowledge discovery from collaborative data in social media
   - Analysis of collaborative social networks
