*************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS
Forty-Eighth Annual Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences
(HICSS-48)
January 5-8, 2015 (Monday-Thursday)
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa (
http://kauai.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html)

Track: Knowledge Systems
Minitrack: Designing and Deploying Advanced Knowledge Systems (
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_48/Tracks/KS/KSDesigning.pdf)

The objective of this minitrack is to contribute to the body of knowledge
that helps academics and practitioners to:
* design, deploy, and evaluate advanced knowledge systems,
* explore and leverage appropriate project management methods and tools for
designing and deploying knowledge systems, and
* study changing organizational knowledge processes and structures.

Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this
minitrack are encouraged to explore (1) the design, evaluation and
deployment of knowledge systems that integrate emerging technologies like
social media, mashups, ubiquitous IT; (2) design and project management
methods and tools involved in the design and deployment of such knowledge
systems; and/or (3) changing organizational knowledge processes and
structures due to the use of these technologies. We welcome an integrative
view spanning the entire life-cycle of knowledge systems - from knowledge
systems design through deployment to retirement.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* Methodologies, tools, processes, and technologies for developing
knowledge systems
* Management of design and deployment projects of knowledge systems
* Empirical studies of designing and using knowledge systems
* Systems design for social knowledge creation and use (e.g. social media
system architectures)
* Incorporating and/or integrating knowledge services and mashups, social
media, Web 2.0, cloud computing, and/or ubiquitous technologies in
knowledge systems
* The design, evaluation, and/or use of processes, semantic technologies,
knowledge retrieval and representation methods, and/or systems to map,
track, and/or visualize social networks and/or work systems in order to
facilitate knowledge creation and sharing and quick problem solving (e.g.,
when unexpected coordination breakdowns emerge)
* Co-design of organizational work systems and knowledge systems
* Design processes and representations for designing work systems and
knowledge systems
* The role of organizational digital natives in the design and use of
knowledge systems
* Design science and design theory research in knowledge systems design and
deployment
* Kernel (reference) theories for knowledge systems design and deployment
(e.g., theories for individual, team, and organizational learning)

HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the
information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in
both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual,
tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be
included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer
Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library.

Important 2014 Deadlines for Authors:
* From now to June 1 [Optional]: Prepare Abstracts. Then, contact Minitrack
Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content.
* June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed. The review is
double-blind; therefore, this initial submission must be without author
names.
* Aug 16: Review System emails Acceptance Notices to authors. It is very
important that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the
conference. Therefore, all travel guarantees – including visa or your
organization’s fiscal funding procedures – should begin immediately. Make
sure your server accepts the review system address
https://precisionconference.com/~hicss.
* Sept 15: SUBMIT FINAL PAPER. Add author names to your paper, and submit
your Final Paper for Publication to the site provided in your Acceptance
Notice. (This URL is not public knowledge.)
* Oct 1: Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of each paper
should register by this date in order secure publication in the
Proceedings. Fees will increase on Oct 2 and Dec 2.
* Oct 15: Papers without at least one paid-in-full registered author may be
deleted from the Proceedings and not scheduled for presentation; authors
will be so notified by the Conference Office.

How to Submit a Paper:
Follow Author Instructions posted on the conference web site:
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_48/apahome48.htm
* HICSS papers must contain original material. They may not have been
previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. All submissions
undergo a double-blind peer review process; so initial submission must be
without author names.
* Abstracts are optional, but strongly recommended. You may contact the
Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or verification of content.
* Submit a paper to only one Minitrack. If a paper is submitted to more
than one minitrack, then either paper may be rejected by either minitrack
without consultation with author or other chairs. If you are not sure of
the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) – see
names and contact information below - for determination, and/or seek
informal opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before submitting.
* Do not author or co-author more than five papers. This means that an
individual may be listed as author or co-author on no more than five
submitted papers. Track Chairs must approve any names added after
submission or acceptance on August 16.
