*Human-centricity in a Sustainable Digital Economy*

http://hicss.hawaii.edu | HICSS-54 | January 5 – 8, 2021 | Grand Hyatt Kauai

The internet and the global digital transformation have changed many 
different aspects of our lives. Not only the economies and the societies 
but also people’s personal lives have been influenced by this new and 
ever-emerging era of our history. While the digital age has made it 
possible to provide novel services and solutions for the end-users, it 
has also caused serious concerns in different individual and societal 
levels, such as issues regarding online privacy, algorithmic bias, 
fairness and accountability of information systems, transparency, 
governance, and explainability of information systems, end-user 
manipulations, fake news, traceability, etc. The development of 
human-centric and end-user empowering information systems can be one 
approach towards “digital sustainability”, i.e. providing novel and 
personalized services for the end-users, while considering potential 
negative multi-dimensional consequences of digital transformation.

This minitrack aims to attract research that advances the understanding 
of human-centricity and end-user empowerment in a sustainable digital 
economy. It adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, which considers 
human-centricity and end-user empowerment across application domains 
(e.g. software development, digital commerce, healthcare, 
administration, mobile apps, social media, and online services).

Topics are:

-Towards understanding and development of human-centric information systems
-Evaluation of existing information systems from a human-centric perspective
-Co-creation and co-production of human-centric sustainable information 
systems
-Analysis and design of technologies (e.g. AI, Blockchain) that empower 
end-users
-Human-centric end-user agents, AI and machine learning
-Fairness, transparency, accountability and controllability of 
information systems
-Privacy, GDPR, personal data on the Internet, or consent management
-Legal or economic aspects of human-centricity in information systems
-Identity and privacy management systems
-Business value of human-centric and/or user empowered solutions
-Sociotechnical studies of human-centricity in information systems
-Opportunities and challenges of digital behavior change, habit 
formation, and digital addiction
-Digital Nudging for increasing social or ecological responsibilities
-Ethical concerns regarding human-centricity

*About the HICSS Conference:*

Since 1968, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 
(HICSS) has been known worldwide as the longest-standing working 
scientific conferences in Information Technology Management. HICSS

academia and the industry from over 60 countries to exchange ideas in 
various areas of information, computer, and system sciences.

According to Microsoft Academic, HICSS ranks the 36th in terms of 
citations among 4,444 conferences in all fields worldwide. The 
Australian Government’s Excellence in Research project (ERA) has given 
HICSS an “A” rating, one of 32 Information Systems conferences so

    a rich mixture of cutting-edge computer-based applications and
    technologies.
  * Three days presentations of peer-reviewed papers and discussions in
    a workshop setting that promotes interaction leading to revised and
    extended papers that are published in journals, books, and special
    issues as well as additional research.
  * A full day of Symposia, Workshops, and Tutorials.
  * Keynote addresses and distinguished lectures which explore
    particularly relevant topics and concepts.
  * Best Paper Awards in each track which recognize superior research
    performance.
