Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences

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. The conference provides a platform for panel discussions and the presentation of peer-reviewed information systems research papers.

The first HICSS conference took place in 1968 at the University of Hawaii. From 1968 to 1989, HICSS proceedings were published by Western Periodicals Company, California. As the conference grew, HICSS worked with the IEEE Computer Society for its proceedings. Starting in 2017, all HICSS publications have been archived and disseminated at no cost to all readers worldwide through ScholarSpace.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).
