Forty Seven Years of HICSS - A Brief History of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences

Many conferences focus on a specific discipline or subject. Specialization is important; yet 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 qualified interdisciplinary professionals in a highly interactive environment. Information on the topics listed below is provided in the following pages: 1) An Encapsulated History of HICSS by Bruce Shriver and Ralph Sprague; 2) Distinguished Lecturer Series; 3) Plenary Speakers and Special Speakers; and 4) Conference Chairs and Track Chairs.
