About HICSS

Since 1968 the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has become a respected forum for the substantive interchange of ideas in all areas of information systems and technology.  HICSS is sponsored by the Shidler College of Business, University of Hawai'i at Manoa. 

The objective of the conference 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.  Submitted papers are double-blind reviewed and published by IEEE Computer Society Press and included in the IEEE Digital Library XPlore.  HICSS conferences are totally self-supported by registration income; therefore, we cannot offer funding support for participants.  

HICSS is recognized particularly for its high degree of discussion among the participants during the week.  Paper sessions are conducted in a workshop-like setting to specifically encourage this type of interaction.  The week's events consist of advanced seminars, tutorials, workshops, open forums, task forces, symposia, a plenary lecture, a distinguished guest lecture, and the daily presentation of accepted manuscripts which emphasize research and development activities.  See program components for more detail.

Comments and feedback continues to show  that the conference structure and  format is professionally rewarding and stimulating to everyone who attends.
