You are invited to submit a proposal for a minitrack for the Software
Technology Track of HICSS-32. The HICSS series of conferences has become
a unique and respected forum in computer and information systems and
technology for the exchange of ideas among the researchers and development
communities in North America, the Asian and Pacific Basin Nations, Europe,
and the Middle East. In addition to the Software Technology Track, HICSS-32
will have other Tracks in Information Systems.
A TRACK consists of three full days of parallel technical sessions, coupled
with a set of advanced seminars and tutorials. A MINITRACK is either a half
day or a full day of technical sessions. All sessions are conducted in a
workshop-like setting and participants often participate in several different
tracks. HICSS is sponsored by the University of Hawaii.

- - Multimedia and Quality of Service
- - Multi-threaded systems
- - Parallel & distributed database systems
- - Parallel I/O
- - Performance (estimation, adaptation, etc.)
- - Reliability and fault tolerance
- - Safety critical systems
- - Security & safety
- - Symetric Multiprocessors (SMP)

=========================================================================
Proposal Contents
*****************
The proposals should be on timely and important topics in the field. Your
proposal should be about five pages long and should:
1) define the proposed technical area, discuss the topics the minitrack will
address, and describe how they fit into the area;
2) discuss how these topics have recently been covered in other conferences
and publications to substantiate that HICSS is not only an appropriate
and timely forum for the topics but also that there is a body of
unpublished good work to draw from; and,
3) contain:
a) a short paragraph (35 words) describing the topics of your
minitrack for inclusion in final call for papers, if your proposal
is approved by the advisory committee.
b) a short bio-sketch
c) an explicit statement that your organization endorses your
involvement and attendance and has the infrastructure to
support that involvement as described in enclosed list giving
the responsibilities of minitrack coordinators.
