HICSS 2014 - The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)

HICSS-47 WILL BE HELD JANUARY 6-9, 2014 AT THE HILTON WAIKOLOA ON THE BIG ISLAND. HICSS conferences have become known for the most relevant advances in 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.
How to Submit a Paper: Follow Author Instructions to be posted by April 15, 2014 on the conference web site. http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.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 (or a paper largely similar) 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 5 papers. This means that an individual may be listed as author or co-author on no more than 5 submitted papers. Names may not be added or deleted after acceptance, except with approval of the Track Chair (not only a minitrack chair).
