More than 1,100 of the world’s top academics, researchers and practitioners in computer science and information technology gathered to celebrate the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> International Conference on System Sciences<\/a>’ (HICSS<\/abbr>) 50th anniversary, January 4–7 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by the Shidler College of Business<\/a> at University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa, HICSS<\/abbr> has built a distinguished reputation as the premier forum for the exchange of ideas in the information systems (IS<\/abbr>) industry. It is one of the longest running general-purpose scientific conferences in the world and is recognized for its ability to bring together hundreds of top IS<\/abbr> academics and professionals from over 60 countries in an interactive working environment.<\/p>\n

Throughout its 50-year history, HICSS<\/abbr> has promoted technological innovations and has advanced the research and development in the IS<\/abbr> and technology fields by publishing approximately 19,000 refereed papers. HICSS<\/abbr> has also featured renowned researchers and practitioners from the technology industry who served as keynote speakers.<\/p>\n

This year’s keynote address was presented by Todd Richmond, director of advanced prototypes at the USC<\/abbr> Institute for Creative Technologies; Peter Mars, executive director of GE<\/abbr> Digital; Paul Saffo, futurist at Stanford University; and John Seely Brown, independent co-chairman for the Deloitte Center for the Edge.<\/p>\n

There were 635 papers presented over the three main days of the conference. In addition, the first day was devoted to 70 full- and half-day sessions of symposia, workshops and tutorials that featured in-depth reviews of the latest research in technology.<\/p>\n

More information, including the Call for Participation for the HICSS<\/abbr> meeting in 2018, is available at the HICSS<\/abbr> website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
