Proceedings of the 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences: 2005 (Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences: Proceedings)

HICSS 2005 consists of over 550 papers in nine major tracks. HICSS provides a unique source of ideas, advances, and applications among academicians and practitioners in the information, computing, and system sciences. The HICSS series of conferences is now in the 38th year. Very few conferences have been able to grow and develop as HICSS has over this period. The computer age is barely 50 years old, and HICSS has been an important event in the world of computer science and information technology during most of that time.
