CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS SCIENCES - 27
MINITRACK ON INTEGRATED MODELING ENVIRONMENTS
JANUARY 4-7, 1994 Mauai, Hawaii
CONFERENCE AIMS AND SCOPE:
The purpose of the HICSS conference is to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and applications among academicians and practitioners in computer-based system sciences. Papers are invited for the minitrack on Integrated Modeling Environments. HICSS is one of the key forums for research on model management and modeling environments.
An integrated modeling environment (IME) supports the development of models within and across such disciplines as artificial intelligence, database design, information engineering, and management science. We believe that the study of the modeling process, and of the various modeling paradigms employed in these discplines will contribute to a modeling theory. This, in turn, will inform the design and implementation of software environments which facilitate various types of model representation, manipulation, and integration.
This mini-track will deal with theoretical and practical issues relevant to model management, and to computer-based modeling environments. Topics of interest are not limited to but include the following:
o Model Representation Schemes o Modeling Languages o Visualization of Models o User Processes in Modeling o Model Reusability o User Interfaces for Modeling Environments o Model/Solver Interface Standards o Discrete Event Simulation Model Management o Qualitative Modeling and Reasoning o Modeling Environment Architectures o Industry Case Studies on IME
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:
Manuscripts should be 22-26 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of its author(s), affiliation(s), complete mailing and electronic address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300- word abstract of the paper.

CONFERENCE AIMS AND SCOPE ********************************************** The HICSS conference provides a forum for the interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and applications among academicians and practitioners in organizational and computer-based system sciences. We are inviting papers for the minitrack on Hypermedia in Information Systems and Organizations.
MINITRACK ************************************************************** Hypertext is both a concept regarding "access" to information and a rapidly growing technology. Hypermedia lies at the crossroads of hypertext and multimedia. Until recently, most successful hypertext and hypermedia implementations have been "monolithic" applications designed specifically to provide a hypermedia-style interface to a particular domain. The hypermedia community is starting to produce models of hypermedia and standards for exchanging hypermedia-linked information. The next stage is to augment the myriad of today's business applications with hypermedia functionality. This should result in new ways to view a system's knowledge and processes conceptually, to navigate among items of interest and analysis stages, to enhance a system's knowledge with comments and relationships, and to target information displays to individual users and their tasks. Indeed, commercial applications are starting to incorporate hypermedia techniques. Introducing hypermedia technology into information systems brings forth a number of organizational issues. How will the organization change with enhanced access to information and the new communication channels this facilitates? How will people's work practices be affected? What kinds of telecommunication networks are needed to support the new organization? How do we evaluate a hypermedia network? In this minitrack we explore the benefits and the challenges that arise as hypermedia support for information systems and work practices grows. We encourage papers that address organizational aspects of hypertext and hypermedia, technical aspects of integration, and both.
SUGGESTED TOPICS ******************************************************* - Organizational Impact of Hypertext/Hypermedia - Hypertext/Hypermedia as an Enabling Technology - Integration of Hypertext/Hypermedia into Information Systems - Hypertext/Hypermedia Frameworks and Architectures - Designing Networks to Support Hypertext/Hypermedia - Communicating through Hypertext/Hypermedia - Hypertext/Hypermedia as a Technique for: Accessing and Managing Knowledge Improving Training and Learning Facilitating Teamwork and Collaboration - Applications Addressing These Issues
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS *********************************************** Manuscripts should be 22-26 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. The published version will be 10 single-spaced pages, inclusive. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscripts should have a separate title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of its author(s), affiliations(s), complete mailing and electronic address(es), and telephone number(s). A 300-word abstract should appear on the second page along with the title of the paper. The name(s) of the author(s) should only appear on the separate title page to facilitate the blind review process.

CALL FOR PAPERS MINITRACK ON MODELLING THE DYNAMICS OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS H I C S S - 2 7 Hawaii International Conference on System Science Maui, Hawaii, January 4-7, 1994
Coordinators ============
Pieter W.G. Bots, Alexander Verbraeck, Henk G. Sol Delft University of Technology.
Introduction ============
Dynamics is an inherent characteristic of our society in general and of organizations in particular. It is the dynamic behaviour that enables organizations to react to changes that can originate both within the organization itself and in the environment. It is also this dynamic behaviour that makes it so difficult to analyze and understand problems with respect to organizational performance.
Methods and tools are needed to grasp the dynamic aspects of an organization in addition to its structural aspects. The ultimate objective is to improve organizational performance. The scope may vary from the interorganizational or corporate level (macro) via business components and their coordination (meso) to the process level (micro).
Research to date has identified many aspects that need to be studied to achieve better organizational performance: business structure, organizational culture, process optimization, change management, strategic decision making, information systems, etc., etc.. For each of these perspectives, specific methods and tools have been developed. Comparison, integration and testing, both conceptually and empirically, of these perspectives and their methods and tools should ultimately lead to a sound methodology for performance improvement of dynamic organizations in a dynamic environment.
Subjects ========
This minitrack provides a scientific platform for comparing and integrating both old and new ideas, methods, and tools with a strong emphasis on dynamic aspects. Therefore, original papers are sought on one or more of the following topics:
- organizational problem solving - dynamic enterprise modelling - administrative logistics - process, business, and corporate re-engineering - workflow management - interorganizational coordination, such as production or transportation chain logistics - dynamics in information systems development - transferring models for design into actual implementations - coping with resistance to organizational change - transferring models for design into training instruments - methodological aspects of modelling dynamics - diagramming techniques to capture time-related aspects - support tools for any of the phases in organizational problem solving (problem identification, conceptualization, specification, analysis, validation, diagnosis, solution finding, analysis and choice, implementation, evaluation).
Instructions for submitting papers ==================================
Manuscripts should be 22 - 25 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Please, do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. The paper must not have been previously presented or published, nor concurrently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of the author(s), affiliation(s), complete postal and electronic address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300-word abstract of the paper.
Deadlines =========
- A 300-word abstract is due by March 15, 1993, but this deadline has been extended to March 22, 1993 (please contact us if you want to submit, but can not hold the deadline). - Eight copies of the manuscript are due by June 1, 1993. - Notification of accepted papers by August 30, 1993. - Camera-ready copies of accepted manuscripts are due by October 1, 1993.

Call for Papers and Referees 27th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-27) MINI-TRACK ON GLOBAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Maui Intercontinental Hotel, Wailea, Maui, Hawaii - January 4-7, 1993
As the nature of global competition intensifies, companies are endeavoring to find new ways of gaining competitive advantage, or, in some cases, simply surviving against intense competition. new forms of organization structures and new types of business strategies are emerging. In many cases, information technology is beginning to play a key role in an organization's global strategy.
This track will examine issues in the uses of information technology (IT) in globally-competing organizations (GCO's), including both profit-oriented and non-profit organizations. Typically, such organizations will have major functions in a number of countries, on several continents; but in some cases an organization may have facilities in only a few countries while it is sourcing and/or selling in many countries. Cases where a company is operating in only a few countries can also be useful. All aspects of IT, including information systems and telecommunications, are potentially relevant.
Following on the highly-successful sessions at HICSS in 1991, 1992 and 1993, the program this year will examine issues such as:
-- How is IT transforming the global marketplace?
-- How do applications of IT in global organizations differ from applications in other organizations?
-- How is the use of IT transforming globally-competing organizations?
-- What are the ethical issues associated with global IT?
Papers might explore such topics as:
-- the role of interorganizational systems, such as EDI, e-mail, or others
-- specific strategies for companies or for regions; including I/T infrastructure strategies, I/T and Europe 1992, computer-supported cooperative work strategies, etc.
-- the role of I/T in helping to build a global organization, such as in overcoming cultural, language, or other barriers within an organization
-- preparing I/T professionals for the new global role.
-- issues facing globally-competing companies and possible or actual I/T applications
-- competitive necessities or opportunities for competitive advantage in I/T use
-- use of specific I/T options, such as: "teamware," electronic meeting systems, electronic data interchange (ED), intelligent CAD or e-mail systems, teleports, LANS, WANS, video or other multi-media, etc.; but with particular emphasis on the global aspects.
-- ethical dilemmas and their solution.
Papers are not restricted to these topics. Any quality paper in this area is potentially acceptable; and including overview papers making critical assessments of important management or research issues in this field of global I/T.
Papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings, which are published by the Computer Society of the IEEE. HICSS-27 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii, in cooperation with the ACM, the Computer Society of the IEEE and the Pacific Research Institute for Information Systems and Management (PRIISM).
Instructions for Submitting Papers
1. Submit six copies of the full paper, consisting of 22-26 double-spaced typewritten pages, including diagrams. Do not send manuscripts that are significantly longer than this. The paper must contain original results and not have been submitted elsewhere while it is being evaluated for acceptance to HICSS. Each manuscript will be put through a rigorous refereeing process.
2. Each paper must have a cover page which includes the title of the paper, full name of all authors and their complete addresses including affiliations, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first page of the manuscript should include the title and a 300-word abstract of the paper (but no authors' names, for blind reviewing).
DEADLINES:
A statement of intent to submit, and a 300-word abstract, is desirable, but not essential, prior to May 7, 1993. We will try to provide quick feedback to the author on this abstract. Six copies of the full paper must be submitted to the mini-track coordinator by June 7, 1993. Notification of accepted papers will be mailed to the author on or before August 30, 1993, after a formal reviewing process.
Camera-ready copy of accepted manuscripts will be due no later than October 1, 1993. This deadline will be firm, in order to meet the publication schedule; proceedings will be printed and available to attendees at the conference. All registrations for conference attendance must be received no later than November 15, 1993. Applications received after this deadline may not be accepted for registration due to space limitations.
