[AISWorld] HICSS-55 CFP: Location Analytics for System Sciences Research

[Daniel Farkas]

HICSS-55 CALL FOR PAPERS LOCATION ANALYTICS FOR SYSTEM SCIENCES RESEARCH
MINITRACK HICSS-55 (Jan 4-7, 2022)



Dear colleagues,



You are cordially invited to submit research papers to the LOCATION
ANALYTICS FOR SYSTEM SCIENCES RESEARCH MINITRACK, which is part of the
Location Intelligence track at HICSS-55 (January 4-7, 2022, Maui, Hawaii).


*Description of the minitrack:*



This minitrack aims to foster research and collaboration in the expansive,
multi-disciplinary area of locational intelligence. Digital transformation
is leading to application of locational data for organizational
intelligence and decision making in the areas of business operations,
marketing, management information systems, supply chain management and
logistics, environment, natural resources, healthcare, retail, sharing
economy, public safety, risk mitigation and disaster management, among
others. Scholarly research papers are sought that apply a variety of
theories and empirical techniques, quantitative, and qualitative, to
understand how location, geography, and related data are increasingly
important to incorporate into the system sciences. There is a need to
develop new theories and modify existing ones for the systems sciences that
incorporate spatial data, locational intelligence, and geographical
concepts. Current concepts of data science, big data, trust, and privacy
need attention in addressing locational intelligence research questions.



Research papers will be solicited across a range of topics, including but
not limited to:



·         Spatial Business: Analyses that address a range of business
functions, including marketing, customer relations, operations, logistics,
supply chain, asset and risk management

·         Spatial Health and Healthcare: Analyses that address locational
dimensions of health and delivery of healthcare.

·         Industry Clusters and Community Development: Analyses that
address spatial aspects of economic development and community impacts,
including infrastructure, workforce, environmental impacts, and social
inequalities.

·         Emergency Management and Public Safety: Studies of systems for
locational intelligence and decision-making in crises and emergencies.

·         Location Analytics for Spatial Big Data: Analyses that introduce
and enhance such emerging areas of space-time modeling, spatial analytics,
locational decision-making, geography of the sharing economy, and spatially
referenced social media.

·         Spatial Theory, Concepts and Methods: Analyses that explore
innovative approaches to advancing spatial theory, concepts, and methods.

·         Locational Data Privacy and Security: Research on the issues and
problems of locational data privacy and security.
