<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">HICSS conferences have become
a unique and respected forum in computer and information systems and
technology for the exchange of ideas among researchers and development
communities around the world. This reputation derives from its high
quality papers, and the active discussions and interaction that the
conference carefully facilitates and promotes. The four program
components that specifically contribute to the quality of the
conference are its Minitracks, Symposia, Workshops, and
Tutorials.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br>
Symposia, workshops and tutorials present an opportunity to explore,
discuss, document, and/or add to the literature base on a topic, to
which invited authors may present papers that are still in<br>
development and not ready for publication.<br>
<br>
Symposium: A Symposium is a half-day or full-day meeting at which
several specialists may deliver short talks on the title topic. The
session consists primarily of presentations by persons distinguished
in the area of research. Also, there may be panel discussions to
summarize or encourage a particular research area. A symposium will
have a well-defined agenda, specifically allowing for Q & A and
discussion toward the end of the session.<br>
<br>
Workshop: A Workshop, as the name implies, involves "work"
by those who attend as part of a half-day or a full-day session. The
structure may include a few paper presentations or talks or panels,
but will primarily involve a collaborative activity that will advance
thinking and discover new insights, often about a relatively immature
area of research. Workshop leaders may invite specific contributors,
or they may use a more general call for contributions, or they may
structure their session in some other way to achieve their desired
goal. This goal should be specifically defined in the publicity
description of the workshop. The output could be a state-of-the-art
report, a taxonomy, a research framework, a survey, a research agenda,
or some other study that in some way advances the field.<br>
<br>
Tutorial: A tutorial is a half-day or a full-day gathering that is
cross-disciplinary in nature and that aims to give participants a
brief overview of the subject matter. Some tutorials may be actually
advanced seminars that are an in-depth survey of the topic for those
who already have significant background in the area under
discussion.<br>
<br>
<br>
