HICSS-42 Minitrack on Information Systems and Sustainable Development
The Minitrack on Information Systems and Sustainable Development at the 42nd Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences emphasizes the significant synergies that exist between information systems and sustainability research from an organizational as well as a technical perspective. Collaboration and cross-fertilization between these domains can be mutually beneficial and may in fact present unique, timely and socially relevant ‘real-world’ research opportunities as well as viable public sources of empirical ecological information for interdisciplinary research and application.
Accordingly, the mini-track welcomes both research articles and practitioner reports exploring technical and organizational issues that pertain to the development, implementation, and deployment of environmental management information systems (EMIS) and environmental decision support systems (EDSS) in the context of sustainable development. Theoretically founded papers that illustrate the application of information systems and decision technologies technology in sustainable development are particularly welcomed. The mini-track is receptive to all types of research methodologies. Possible topics include, but not limited to:
- Sustainable development and decision making
- Emerging technologies for decision support systems (DSS) development and delivery with applications in the environmental domain. Examples include, but not limited to computational intelligence, service-oriented computing, semantic web, artificial intelligence, agent-based computing, human computer interaction and multiple criteria decision making.
- Environmental knowledge management and decision support systems
- Acquiring and managing environmental knowledge
- Environmental management information systems (EMIS)
- EMIS and EDSS design and integration
- Adoption and diffusion of EMIS and decision technologies
- Evaluation and cost/benefit analysis of EMIS and EDSS
- Environmental online communication
- Environmental awareness
- Community building and social software applications
- Applications and case studies of EMIS and EDSS for sustainable development
