The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is an annual conference for Information Systems and Information Technology academics and professionals sponsored by the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Shidler College of Business. The conference provides a platform for panel discussions and the presentation of peer-reviewed information systems research papers.

Contents

The first HICSS conference took place in 1968 at the University of Hawaii, with the goal to promote collaborative research on computer science, information technology, and telecommunications. Notably, the first six annual meetings focused primarily on various scientific issue related to the design, development, use and implementation of the ARPANET, the precursor of the Internet. Norman Abramson and Franklin Kuo, co-founders of HICSS, used HICSS platform to launch the ALOHAnet, that was subsequently employed in the Ethernet cable based network in the 1970s, and following regulatory developments in the early 1980s it became possible to use the ALOHA random-access techniques in both Wi-Fi and in mobile telephone networks.

From 1968 to 1989, HICSS proceedings were published by Western Periodicals Company, California. As the conference grew and focused more on the development, design, implementation, use and evaluation of information technologies in a wide spectrum of applications, in particular in business, HICSS worked with the IEEE Computer Society for its proceedings under the leadership of Ralph Sprague Jr. and Tung Bui, conference co-chairs. Starting in 2017, all HICSS publications have been archived and disseminated at no cost to all readers worldwide through ScholarSpace. They have also been made available in the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). With this move, HICSS has become the leading source for scientific dissemination -- more than 3.5 million paper downloads since HICSS-50 and growing.

Researchers from the University of Washington, Seattle helped create a visualization of HICSS scientific influence over time. The scholar visualization tool shows the influence a central collection of publications has had across different fields, telling the story of how this influence has developed over time.

According to Microsoft Academic in 2021, in terms of citations, HICSS has ranked first among information systems as well as business conferences and overall, ranked 37th among all conferences indexed by Microsoft Academic. HICSS H-Index reported by SCImago Journal Rank in 2022 was 92, [1] significantly higher than the average H-Index reported in the same year for information systems journals and comparable with top Information Systems journals (e.g., compared with Information Systems Journal with H-Index of 94 [2] ).
