The Organizational Systems and Technology Track has the following minitracks:

• Advances in Design Research for Information Systems
• Digital Innovation
• Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Analysis
• Enterprise System Integration: Issues and Answers
• Information Security, Privacy, and Policy
• Information Systems Success and Benefits Realization
• Integrating Business Operations, Information Technologies, and Consumer Behavior
• IT and Project Management
• IT Governance and its Mechanisms
• Managing Platforms and Ecosystems
• Open Source Application Software, Organizing, and Innovation

• Strategy, Information, Technology, Economics, and Society (SITES)
• The Dark Side of Information Technology
• Theory and Information Systems Research
• Topics in Organizational Systems and Technology
• Trust, Identity, and Trusted Systems in Digital Environments

The Organizational Systems and Technology Track is the largest track at HICSS. It is also the most eclectic, ranging from Business Analytics to Theories in IS Research to IT Governance. Much like the information systems field, there are new topics this year, such as Trust, Identity, Trusted Systems in Digital Environments. Many of the topics relate closely to what is currently “hot” in the world of practice, such as Big Data. Others like Project Management have a timeless value. The Topics in Organizational Systems and Technology minitrack contains papers that do not fit neatly into any of the other minitracks. Some of the topics of these papers may emerge in the future to be minitracks.

I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who contributed to this track. Tung Bui and Ralph Sprague continue to provide guidance. The minitrack chairs believed in the importance of their minitracks and provided the creativity and hard work required to make the minitracks a reality. The reviewers helped select the papers included in the OST Track and their comments made the papers better.
