CFP - HICSS-59 (2026) - Minitrack: Information Systems in the Regulatory Landscape

[Kurtz, Dr. Christian]

Call for Papers – Minitrack: Information Systems in the Regulatory Landscape
HICSS-59 - Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) - January 6-9, 2026 - Hyatt Regency Maui

This minitrack explores the interplay between information systems (IS) and evolving regulatory frameworks. Submissions may explore how organizations navigate and comply with regulations (e.g., in IS design), the relationship between innovation and regulation, but also the role of the IS discipline in influencing existing and emerging regulations. In this regard, regulatory frameworks (e.g., European AI Act, California Consumer Privacy Act, European General Data Protection Regulation, Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act) or specific normative aims (e.g., privacy, fairness, transparency, or accountability) may be valuable for inquiry. This minitrack welcomes all conceptual, empirical, and theoretical studies that examine this interdisciplinary topic. Possible relevant topics for this minitrack might include, but are not limited to:


  *   Reciprocal influence of IS on regulation (e.g., regarding data protection)
  *   Increasing focus on AI regulations (e.g., European AI Act)
  *   Regulatory compliance in IS design
  *   Impact of regulation on organizations (e.g., ecosystems, enterprise architectures, AI systems)
  *   Studies at the intersection of IS and law (e.g., novel interdisciplinary approaches)
  *   Comparative analysis of global regulatory frameworks
  *   Governance strategies and practices for lawful IS
  *   Privacy implications of distributed data processing among multiple actors
  *   Utilizing AI for compliance with legal requirements
  *   Detrimental effects from legal frameworks (e.g., on innovation)
