 "GENRES OF DIGITAL DOCUMENTS"

 Part of the Digital Documents Track

 of the Thirty-first Annual
 Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)
 Big Island of Hawaii, HI - January 6 - 9, 1998

 http://www.cba.hawaii.edu/hicss



We invite papers for a minitrack on "Genre in Digital Documents" as part of
the Information Systems track at the Hawaii International Conference on
System Sciences (HICSS).

It is becoming increasingly clear that the succcessful use of digital media
requires the emergence of new or transformed genres of digital
communication. By genres we mean not just particular technologies or modes
of communication or presentation (e.g., hypertext, email, the Web, and so
on), but complex communicative forms anchored in specific institutions and
practices -- the digital analogues, that is, of print forms like the
newspaper, the annual report, the how-to manual, the scholarly journal.

We invite papers that address digital genres from points of view like the
following -- though this list is intended to be suggestive, not exhaustive:

* Issues in the transformation of print genres to digital form
* Genres in digital search and classification
* Genre theory and its application to digital documents
* Investigations of genre in use
* Analyses of particular document genres
* Designing in support of genre

We invite two kinds of submissions: "position papers" that take on the
broad questions of the role of genre in our understanding of digital
documents, and case studies, designs, or reports that shed light on
particular aspects of digital genres.

Please submit your paper to:

 About HICSS

The purpose of HICSS is to provide a forum for the interchange of
ideas, research results, development activities, and applications
among academicians and practitioners in computer-based systems
sciences. The conference consists of tutorials, advanced seminars,
presentations of accepted papers, open forum, tasks forces, and
plenary and distinguished guest lectures. There is a high degree of
interaction and discussion among the conference participants because
the conference is conducted in a workshop-like setting.


Instructions for submitting papers:

1. Submit 6 (six) copies of the full paper, consisting of 20-25
pages double-spaced including title page, abstract, references and
diagrams directly to the minitrack coordinator.

2. Do not submit the paper to more than one minitrack. The paper
should contain original material and not be previously published or
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

3. Each paper must have a title page which includes the title, full
name of all authors, and their complete addresses including
affiliation(s), telephone number(s) and e-mail address(es).

4. The first page of the paper should include the title and a 300-
