In January 2020, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) held its 53rd annual Student Paper Awards for “Let’s Move the Field Forward, Best Industry Paper”. The award is “intended to recognize research excellence in the areas of major understanding of smart/wise service systems at business and society.”
UW Tacoma’s Center for Business Analytics (CBA) is one of five HICSS collaborators who encourage collaborative research and the sharing of knowledge in the field of smart/wise service systems. Together with representatives from ISSIP, IBM, JST and CISCO Systems, the CBA reviewed nominations and attended the HICSS award ceremony. Dr. Haluk Demirkan, Director of the CBA and award winner of the 2021 UW Distinguished Research Award, serves as the HICSS chair for the “Decision Analytics and Service Science” track in this award.
The “Let’s Move the Field Forward, Best Industry Paper” contest encourages collaboration between students and industry partners through collaborative research and development of the research paper. The papers must explore and provide insight into issues of significance at the industry level of analysis. The goal is for papers to encourage forward thinking and advancement in the fields of intelligent (smart/wise) service systems. The top 5 research papers received the “Best Industry Paper” award. Winners received a financial award and digital badges from ISSIP.
The Center of Business Analytics is excited to participate in next year’s award ceremony, where we hope to see new teams display their research excellence, and encourage innovation in the field of smart service systems.
