<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Minitrack: The Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics; Track: DECISION ANALYTICS, MOBILE SERVICES AND SERVICE SCIENCE Track<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><a href="http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_48/Tracks/DA/DAInternetofThings.pdf"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_48/Tracks/DA/DAInternetofThings.pdf</span></a><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">This minitrack addresses issues organizations face as they seek to make use of data collected from mobile tracking devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and other RF-related tracking and
sensor technologies. Big data analytics is currently generating tremendous fascination worldwide. This trend is largely driven by the pervasive diffusion and adoption of mobile devices, social media tools, and the Internet of Things (IoT) or Web of Things
(WoT) due to RFID and other RF-related tracking and sensor devices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The IoT allows the possibility of tracking and tracing any tagged mobile object as it moves through the value chain thus producing unprecedented end-to-end supply chain visibility. This creates tremendous opportunities
for operational and strategic benefits. However, the effective management of this new visibility for improved decision making requires the combination and analysis of data from item-level identification using RFID, sensors, satellites, social media feeds,
photos, video and cell phone GPS signals; in short, big data analytics. While the IoT and big data analytics have tremendous potential for transforming various industries, many scholars and practitioners are struggling to understand these concepts and capture
the business value from combining the IoT and big data analytics. In addition, very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the real potential of the IoT and big data analytics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">We encourage authors to share new and interesting theoretical and methodological perspectives on topics relevant to both academic researchers and practitioners. We welcome work-in-progress that examines existing and
extended theory using the IoT and big data analytics as the technologies of focus and case studies of organizations implementing the IoT and big data analytics inside and outside their span of control. We give special consideration to research submissions
when the author(s) commit to include an industry partner in their presentation. We welcome research that reflects a range of current research methods including case studies, analytical models, econometrics, and frameworks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
