[AISWorld] HICSS-45 Call for SWTs

[Sandra Laney]

CALL FOR SYMPOSIA, WORKSHOPS, AND TUTORIALS
Forty-fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-45)
January 4-7, 2012 (Wednesday-Saturday)
Grand Wailea Maui
http://www.grandwailea.com

Submission Deadline: February 15, 2011

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.

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
development and not ready for publication.

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.

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.

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.


Submission Instructions - Please follow carefully:

Proposal Contents - Your proposal must include the following:
*************************************************************************************
Title as you want it defined in conference materials, including 
program and web site.

1. Specify clearly that your proposal is intended as either a 
symposium, a workshop, or a
tutorial, and whether it is to be a full- or a half-day session.

2. Define the proposed subject; discuss the topics the session will 
address, and how they fit the particular area of research.

3. Discuss how these topics have recently been covered in other 
conferences and publications to substantiate that HICSS is an 
appropriate and timely forum for the topics.

4. A short paragraph of describing the topics of session. If your 
proposal is accepted, this description will be included on the 
HICSS-45 website in the Advance Program Announcement.

5. Names and full mailing address, direct phone number, departmental 
phone number and fax, and email addresses for all leaders.

6. A short bio-sketch. This is especially important for first-time 
presenters, or if your bio needs updating. (We reserve the right to 
edit for a length or clarity.)

7. An explicit statement that your organization endorses your

cost to attend HICSS.
