Abstract :
Although specialization is important, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has chosen to become one of the few general-purpose conferences - addressing issues in the areas of computer science, computer engineering, and information systems. The fundamental purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and applications. HICSS brings together highly qualified interdisciplinary professionals in an interactive environment. Information on the topics listed below is provided: 1. An Encapsulated History of HICSS by Bruce Shriver and Ralph Sprague; 2. Listings relating to the Distinguished Lecturer Series; 3. Listings of Plenary Speakers and Special Speakers; and 4.
