HICSS-37
Conference Venue
Hilton Waikoloa Village

Waikoloa, Hawaii 06738

The Hilton Waikoloa Village is a resort sometimes
described as "a world unto itself" on 62 acres of the sunny Kohala Coast
of the Big Island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian islands. The green,
lush landscape of the Waikola Village is a surprising oasis arising from
the surrounding lava rockscape flowing down the mountains from the center
part of the island. The hotel offers spacious meeting rooms, state-of
the art conference facilities, as well as 1200 guest rooms, on-site golf,
tennis, shops, activities, and watersports (including its famous DolphinQuest
adventure).
Waikoloa Village is 18 miles north of the Kona International Airport. The
largest town on the Big Island, but still small by any measure, is Kona, about 15 miles south of the airport. Other towns include Waimea
at the northern tip of the island, and Hilo, which is on the east shore
amid a more rain forest type ecosystem.

General Information
HICSS-37 will be held MONDAY
through THURSDAY, January 5-8, 2004. We expect more
than 600 individuals from throughout the world to participate in the sessions
during the four days of the conference.
There is no partial registration for HICSS, and it is hoped that attendees
taking advantage of the unique, highly interactive
and professionally challenging environment that has traditionally characterized
a HICSS conference. Because the conference operation is funded entirely
by registration fees, HICSS is not able to subsidize registrations or offer
reduced fees. All participants and speakers are expected to have their
organization bear the costs of their expenses and registration.
HICSS-37 offers nine tracks:
Papers in each of these tracks have in recent years made
significant contributions to the application of information systems technology.
After HICSS many papers have been republished in various journals,
transactions and magazines, or have appeared as chapters in books.
To be accepted at HICSS, all manuscripts are rigorously reviewed by people
actively involved in each paper's subject area. The Best Paper awards
on the final evening will be selected by a program committee in each of the
Track areas.
The week's events consist of advanced seminars, tutorials,
workshops, open forums, task forces, plenary lectures, a distinguished guest
lecture, and the daily presentation of accepted manuscripts which emphasize
research and development activities in several areas of the system sciences.
There is always a high degree of interaction and discussion among the
participants at a HICSS Conference because the week's sessions are conducted
in a workshop-like setting. All registrants are expected to attend the entire
four days of the conference and actively to engage in these discussions,
both in and out of the paper sessions.
Included in the HICSS registration fee:
- The advanced seminars, tutorials, and workshops.
Each is designed to be an intensive short course that serves as a survey
of the state-of-the-art knowledge in each subject area, and to lay the foundation
for some of the related paper sessions in the conference.
- A printed volume of the Abstracts and a CD of the
full papers of the Proceedings.
- Distinguished Lecture on Wednesday evening
- Plenary session on Tuesday immediately after lunch
- (3) Buffet lunches Tuesday , Wednesday, and Thursday
- Luau/Final Dinner
Since 1968 the Hawaii International Conference on System
Sciences (HICSS) has become a respected a forum for the substantive interchange
of ideas in all areas of information systems and technology. The objective
of HICSS is to provide a unique environment in which researchers and practitioners
in the information, computer and system sciences can frankly exchange and
discuss their research ideas, techniques and applications. To
realize this objective and to facilitate lively discussion and interaction,
the format is carefully structured, and the number of available registrations
is limited. Comments and feedback from each HICSS conference indicate
that the conference format continues to be professionally rewarding and stimulating
to everyone who attends.
HICSS is sponsored by the University of Hawai'i at Manoa
College of Business.
Proceedings of the Hawai'i International
Conference on System Sciences
are published and distributed by the IEEE Computer Society.
