The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field

A Bibliometric Analysis of the HICSS Software Technology Track

The HICSS Software Technology track has a long tradition and many papers have been published as part of its history. Its impact in terms of citations, paper contributions, author share and community impact does not yet seem to have been investigated, though. In particular, software technology has evolved, and as it stands, it is of primary importance for mobile computing, the Internet-of-Things and Cyber-physical Systems. Hence, the development of these topics and the related impact of this track are of particular interest. In this paper, we present a bibliographic analysis as a first step towards such an investigation. We found that the history of the track is indeed noteworthy. Our results include finding a few extremely much cited papers, some curious tendencies, and a generally favourable outlook for HICSS. We found that indeed many papers in the history of this HICSS track addressed mobile technology and are highly cited. Together with providing insight into track, paper and author impact, we also raise questions worth of further investigation to understand the role of the HICSS Software Technology track and its impact on the academic field and society

Software Development for Mobile Computing, the Internet of Things and Wearable Devices: Inspecting the Past to Understand the Future

Currently a convergence in software development for mobile computing (including mobile devices and special technology such as wearables) and the Internet of Things (IoT) can be observed. Devices from the fields are becoming part of a joint ecosystem and share the same infrastructure. Moreover, development processes have changed and user requirements have become very heterogeneous. We have been studying this development for a while, also by offering the fitting HICSS minitrack. In this article, we look into the past of software development for mobile devices, in the context of IoT, and for wearables. We analyse joint characteristics and show differences. Then we invite to a discussion that leads to a research outlook. While neither for industry nor for academia the journey is over, the convergence of fields should offer many new possibilities, prevent problems we faced in the past, but also introduce novel challenges

15 Years of Enterprise Architecting at HICSS: Revisiting the Critical Problems

The Enterprise Architecture (EA) minitrack has been a mainstay of HICSS for the past 15 years. The methodology, tools, and processes of enterprise architecting have evolved during that period. In 2005, Kaisler and Armour identified some critical challenges in modeling, management, and maintenance for EA that needed attention to ensure a viable technical discipline. Over 15 years, we have accepted 93 papers for presentation. Reviewing these papers and drawing up on our experience over the past 15 years, we conclude that some progress has been made, some challenges remain to be addressed, and some new challenges have emerged. This paper revises existing challenges and identifies additional challenges to be addressed in the next 10 years

Enterprise Content Management - A Literature Review

Managing information and content on an enterprise-wide scale is challenging. Enterprise content management (ECM) can be considered as an integrated approach to information management. While this concept received much attention from practitioners, ECM research is still an emerging field of IS research. Most authors that deal with ECM claim that there is little scholarly literature available. After approximately one decade of ECM research, this paper provides an in-depth review of the body of academic research: the ECM domain, its evolution, and main topics are characterized. An established ECM research framework is adopted, refined, and explained with its associated elements and working definitions. On this basis, 68 articles are reviewed, classified, and concepts are derived. Prior research is synthesized and findings are integrated in a concept-centric way. Further, implications for research and practice, including future trends, are drawn

Mobile Cloud Computing and Its Effectiveness in Business Organizations

E-commerce business organizations aim at achieving the goals and the mission effectively and efficiently so as to satisfy the diverse interests of the stakeholders. MCC is an ICT concept that enables the organizations to enhance the performance when serving the important stakeholders, who include customers, staff, managers, shareholders, and industry regulators. MCC involves the integration of the mobile devices to enable the sharing of the cloud infrastructure. The integration is done via a network and between the computer devices that operate remotely. The Internet is the most common network that enables the mobile devices to utilize the data and information stored in a cloud database. E-commerce businesses prefer the cloud infrastructure because it has a large data storage capacity and high processing speeds. Also, the cloud service providers invest substantial financial, human, and technological resources in ensuring the security of the effective management of the data resources. The main benefit of MCC is that it reduces the businesses expenses. For example, it enables the companies to offer products and services in the international market via the e-commerce infrastructure. Amazon.com is an example of a Multinational Corporation that is successful in offering high-quality services and products to customers in different countries using the website and the mobile app applications that are supported by the cloud infrastructure. Keywords: mobile cloud computing, cloud computing, E-commerce. DOI: 10.7176/IKM/9-1-0

Open Data Diffusion for Service Innovation: An Inductive Case Study on Cultural Open Data Services

Information Systems research on Open Data has been primarily focused on its contribution to e-government inquiries, government transparency, and open government. Recently, Open Data has been explored as a catalyser for service innovation as a consequence of big claims around the potential of such initiatives in terms of additional value that can be injected into the worldwide economy. Subsequently, the Open Data Services academic conversation was structured (Lindman et al. 2013a). The research project presented in this paper is an interpretive case study that was carried out to explore the factors that influence the diffusion of Open Data for new service development. This paper contributes to this debate by providing an interpretive inductive case study (Walsham 1995) of a tourism company that successfully turned several city authorities’ raw open datasets into a set of valuable services. Results demonstrate that 16 factors and 68 related variables are the most relevant in the process of diffusion of open data for new service development. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates the suitability of Social Constructionism and interpretive case study research to inductively generate knowledge in this field
