                     CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES

       HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS SCIENCES - 26

   MINITRACK ON ENTERPRISE ANALYSIS/BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING

                         JANUARY 5-8, 1993
                            Kauai, Hawaii


CONFERENCE AIMS AND SCOPE:

The purpose of the HICSS conference is to provide a forum for the
interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and
applications among academicians and practitioners in computer-based
system sciences.  Papers are invited for the minitrack on
Enterprise Analysis/Business Process Re-engineering.

This minitrack focuses on conceptual, implementation, use, and
evaluation aspects of Enterprise Analysis/Business Process Re-
engineering in both controlled and organizational settings.  We are
interested in a wide variety of research topics and research
approaches, particularly those that are likely to promote
discussion.  These include, but are not limited to:

o Conceptual/theory development papers that are well focused,
  logically argued, and have the potential to change current
  practice;
o Experimental papers that are theoretically motivated, yet whose
  findings have the potential to interest practitioners;
o Field studies that develop new insight that has the potential to
  change current practice or lead to new theories; and
o System design and development papers that move beyond the
  description of systems and their use to build new concepts for
  the design and use of future systems in organizational settings.

Empirical manuscripts motivated strictly by data collection and
analysis, or design and development manuscripts that are purely
descriptive, will have little chance of acceptance.  Authors are
expected to describe theoretical or conceptual issues that give
meaning to data, or motivation for a particular system design.
Papers should show how these concepts (i.e. prior theory and the
current study or design) are relevant to our evolving understanding
in this area.  Finally, all papers should clearly answer the
question "What's interesting here?"


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:

Manuscripts should be 22-26 typewritten, double-spaced pages in
length.  Do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or
longer than this.  Papers must not have been previously presented
or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication.
Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process.
Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the
paper, full name(s) of its author(s), affiliation(s), complete
mailing and electronic address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300-
word abstract of the paper.
