SEATTLE, WA, March 11, 2008 - Call for Papers: Electronic Government Track at HICSS42.
Some facts to know about HICSS:
(1) HICSS is one of the truly interdisciplinary conferences, which clusters 10 research streams and some 12 research themes, which cut across those streams (for example, security).
(2) HICSS has a long and amazing academic tradition--its 42nd occurrence in 40 years makes this conference unique. Over 70,000 pages of proceedings have been accumulated over those years and belong to the treasures of the IEEE library. HICSS has a reputation to present research frontiers, or cutting edge research as some like to say. Many new developments have been discussed at HICSS for the first time. On average, one of two HICSS papers develop into a journal paper. HICSS is the highest ranked interdisciplinary conference in information and systems sciences.
(3) The HICSS e-Government Track has an excellent reputation among e-Government scholars. Several times it has been ranked the academically most rigorous research conference on e-Government in the world. Having a paper accepted at the e-Gov Track at HICSS means something.
(4) For the third time in a row, HICSS will give the e-Government community the opportunity to conduct a full day symposium. The symposium is developing into a major community event at the very beginning of each calendar year. Here is where the community celebrates the best papers of the past year from around the world. Here the community presents and discusses new trends in its study domain.
In Brief
I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. From the University of Albany, NY/SUNY I earned a Ph.D. in Information Science. I also hold a Master's degree in Business Administration from the GSBA Zurich, Switzerland. My research interests are focused on modeling human-originated complex systems, in particular, by means of system dynamics. Besides quantitative approaches I also embark on qualitative research using, among other methods, Action Research. Areas of study include information management, electronic government, organizational change, process change, business intelligence, information systems success, and private-sector firm survival.
