Since 1968 the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has been a forum for the 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 exchange ideas, techniques and applications. To realize this objective and to facilitate lively discussion and interaction, the number of available registrations is limited. Registrants find it valuable to attend the entire conference as active participants in the tutorials and paper sessions. The 1999 conference will be held at The Aston Wailea Resort on the island of Maui, a site which will fully support the conference objective.

HICSS-32 offers eight tracks: collaboration systems and technology, digital documents, emerging technologies, information technology in health care, internet and the digital economy, modeling technologies and intelligent systems, organizational systems and technology, and software technology. Papers in each of these tracks have in recent years made significant contributions to the application of information systems technology. Many have been republished in various journals, transactions and magazines, or have appeared as chapters in books. All manuscripts are rigorously reviewed by people actively involved in each paper's subject area.

Advanced seminars, tutorials, special presentations, and printed and electronic versions of the proceedings are available for conference registrants at no additional cost. Each is designed to be an intensive short course to serve 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.

You will find HICSS-32 professionally rewarding and stimulating. Please join us for another exciting conference.
