The Digital Divide/s and Inclusion/a minitrack in HICSS 
calls for papers that study digital divide/s, inequalities 
and inclusions in different levels, methods and 
perspectives. Possible focus may be on international, 
national, local, sector, communal, and individual level. 
Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited.

Following the success from the past three conferences, we 
invite submissions to the 2011 minitrack.  Potential 
contributions may be in the subjects, but are not limited 
to the following:

- Conceptualization and theory of digital divide/s, 
digital spectrum and eInclusion

- Indigenous communities and technology

- ICT and development

- Socio-demographic factors– gender, age, education, 
income, ethnic diversity, race diversity, language 
diversity, religiosity

- Social and governmental support – for example the use of 
supportive initiatives, policy and applications to bridge 
the gap, or how society and community impact eInclusion

- Access (public, private), infrastructure factors

- Affordability

- Use – skills, frequency and time, locus, autonomy of 
use, what do users do online and for what purpose

- Accessibility focusing mainly in populations with 
special needs

- Measurements indices

- Comparative analysis of policy

- Comparative cross-country or cross-region research

- Country or region specific case studies
