Reviewers needed for HICSS-45 Agile research papers
HICSS is one of the top conferences in paper citation index rankings. This means papers will be seen and used by researchers worldwide more than papers from other conferences. All HICSS papers are published in the IEEE Digital Library and are FREE to download, so accepted papers are accessible to everyone at any time, even by your grandchildren. No other conference can give you the same distribution of your concepts and ideas.
HICSS-45 REVIEWERS NEEDED - reviews due by 1 Aug 2011
January 4-7, 2012
The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa
Kaloa, Kauai, Hawaii

Improving Trust in Information Systems Development Using Agile and Formal Practices (411)

 

Abstract: This paper posits that implementing a balanced portfolio of Agile and formal project practices will strongly support the cognitive trust-building processes and promote good development and O&M decision making for information systems, programs, and projects. The mechanisms enhance decision making by moderating the potentially negative effects of executive, managerial, development team, and end user distrust. Research has shown that establishing and maintaining an environment of trust can be improved by using well regarded effective trust supporting and trust building practices in appropriate situations that avoid a “Cargo Cult” mentality. 

This paper argues for employing a set of trust building practices and processes from both formal and Agile methodologies that vary depending upon three factors; the need to develop a new or full replacement system, the experience of the user/purchasing organization with the development team, and the O&M status/working capabilities of the solution in use by the target organization.

Evaluating and Improving Software Scalability (774)

 

Abstract: Scalability is an important but under-researched topic. Many organizations developing for the Web face the problem of measuring and predicting the scalability of the software systems they develop. Though the scalability problem seems quite prevalent, there is no widely accepted definition of software scalability in the current literature. There is also a lack of an accepted method to evaluate the scalability of a piece of software based on software bottlenecks. In this paper we first review the existing definitions of software scalability, analyse why they only partially match the scalability problem for software, and make an attempt to get at a definition of what is meant by software scalability. We use this definition of scalability to propose an approach to evaluate the software scalability of a Web application. We then test this evaluation approach in a case study of a software development organization.

Effect of Task Mental Models on Software Developer’s Performance: An Experimental Investigation (1195)

Abstract: This study provides some preliminary results on the efficacy of mental models in software development. Specifically, based on results from a controlled laboratory experiment, it shows that a software developer’s mental model quality is a determinant of software quality performance, regardless of whether the task is performed individually or in pairs. Further, this effect is found to be consistent across software tasks of varying complexity.

Investigating the Long-Term Acceptance of Agile Methodologies: An Empirical Study of Developer Perceptions in Scrum Projects (1327)

Abstract: Agile software development methodologies have gained huge interest in research and practice. However, since they set a polar opposite to traditional methodologies, their introduction hugely affects the working habits of developers. As agile methodologies postulate flat hierarchies and self-organizing teams, the long-term commitment of developers becomes a critical success factor. Yet, current studies primarily measure the success of agile methodologies in the short-term. In order to evaluate the use of agile methodologies in the long-term, we conducted a study at a world-leading insurance company which introduced Scrum back in 2007. Using qualitative research methods and the Diffusion of Innovations Theory as an analytical lens, we gained in-depth insights into the long-term use of Scrum. In particular, we were able to identify numerous factors which developers perceived as relative advantages or more compatible to their working processes. However, we also found factors regarding the complexity of Scrum which were perceived as drawbacks by developers.

Background on HICSS:

Now in its 45th year, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is one of the longest-standing continuously running scientific conferences. This conference brings together researchers in an aloha-friendly atmosphere conducive to free exchange of scientific ideas. Unique characteristics of the conference include:
  • A matrix structure of tracks and themes that enables research on a rich mixture of computer-based applications and technologies.
  • Three days of research paper presentations and discussions in a workshop setting that promotes interaction leading to additional research.
  • A full day of Symposia, Workshops, and Tutorials. See Program Components for additional detail.
  • A truly international experience with participants usually from over 40 countries, (approximately 50% non-US).
  • Papers published in the Proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press and carried in the IEEE digital library Xplore. Access to HICSS papers is in the top 2% of IEEE Conferences.
  • Paper presentations and discussions which frequently lead to revised and extended papers that are published in journals, books, and special issues.
  • A keynote address and distinguished lecture which explore particularly relevant topics and concepts.
  • Best Paper Awards in each track which recognize superior research performance.
Recent research that shows HICSS ranked second in citation ranking among 18 Information Systems (IS) conferences[1], ranked third in value to the MIS field among 13 Management Information Systems (MIS) conferences[2], and ranked second in conference rating among 11 IS conferences[3]. See References.

The Australian Government's Excellence in Research project (ERA) has given HICSS an "A" rating, one of 32 Information Systems conferences so honored out of 241 (46-B and 146-C ratings).
