[AISWorld] HICSS Symposium on Governing Big Data for Grand Challenges: Call for TREO talks

[Elizabeth Davidson]

*Governing Big Data for Grand Challenges  *

*Tuesday, January 7, 2020 *

*1 – 4 PM*

*Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii USA*



One of the grand challenges of the big data era is how we can harness
growing stockpiles of data resources for societal good in sectors such as
health, energy, conservation and environmental planning, urban planning for
transportation and housing, education, government and so on, amidst many
competing claims on these data. Governance involves values, norms, and
ethics that guide the management of and access to big data stockpiles, as
well as institutional structures and policies for realizing goals.
Governance goals include making data available for innovation and
advancements in science, policy and business as well as limiting data
accumulation and access when potential harms outweigh potential good.

The HICSS Symposium “Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond
Privacy and Security Goals”
*http://hicss.hawaii.edu/swt/data-analytics/#s-governing-big-data
<http://hicss.hawaii.edu/swt/data-analytics/#s-governing-big-data> *will
gather together researchers interested in innovative research on data
governance, big data, and societal challenges.

The symposium will begin with a panel on “Governing Data for Grand
Challenges”.  Speakers include:



·       Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, Shidler College of Business, University of
Hawai’i Manoa (moderator)

·       Dr. Sirkka Jarvenpaa, McCombs School of Business, University of
Texas Austin (governance and uses of genomic databases)

·       Dr. Jenifer Sunrise Winter, School of Communications, University of
Hawai’i Manoa (organizational forms of personal health data governance)



The panel will be followed by 5-minute TREO presentations and a discussion
of key topics, issues for collaborative research, and publication
opportunities, including a planned special issue in *Information and
Organization*.


To submit a proposed TREO, please submit a 1-page extended abstract to Crystal
