"Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond Privacy and Security
Goals"


Tuesday, January 7, 2020


1 – 4 PM


Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii (USA)


One of the grand challenges of the big data era is how we can harness
growing stockpiles of data resources for societal good in sectors such as
health, energy, conservation and environmental planning, urban planning for
transportation and housing, education, government and so on, amidst many
competing claims on these data. Governance involves values, norms, and
ethics that guide management of and access to big data stockpiles, as well
as institutional structures and policies for realizing goals. Governance
goals include making data available for innovation and advancements in
science, policy and business as well as limiting data accumulation and
access when potential harms outweigh potential good.

The HICSS-53 Symposium “Governing Big Data as Societal Resources: Beyond
Privacy and Security Goals” http://hicss.hawaii.edu/swt
/data-analytics/#s-governing-big-data will gather together researchers
interested in innovative research on data governance, big data, and
societal challenges.

The symposium will begin with a panel on “Governing Big Data for Grand
Challenges”.  Speakers include:

·        Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, Shidler College of Business, University of
Hawai’i Manoa (moderator)

·        Dr. Sirkka Jarvenpaa, McCombs School of Business, University of
Texas Austin (governance and uses of genomic databases)

·        Dr. Lisen Selander, Division of Informatics, University of
Gothenburg (collective intelligence and citizen data for social good)

·        Dr. Jenifer Sunrise Winter, School of Communications, University
of Hawai’i Manoa (organizational forms of personal health data governance)
