              Call for Papers for the Minitrack

                "GENRE IN DIGITAL DOCUMENTS"

               Part of the Digital Documents Track

                  of the Thirty-second Annual
    Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)
                Maui, HI - January 5 - 8, 1999


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

It is becoming increasingly clear that the successful 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.
This includes not just genres replicated from print form, but new and
emergent genres that may not have existed in print form.

Topics the minitrack will address include, but are not restricted to,

*       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
*       Evolution of genres of digital documents


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:
