Evren Eryilmaz, a Ph.D. student in Information Systems and Technology, will be presenting a paper at the Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science (HICSS), January 5-8.
Evren’s paper, “Establishing Trust Management in Collaborative Information Repository: An Emergency Response System Case Study,” examines the use of wikis for responses to emergencies such as Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks.
The paper began as an assignment for a course and Evren used the WritingCenter to help polish it for conference consideration. He made appointments with the WritingCenter to incorporate feedback from his dean and prepare final changes.
"After I received the conditional acceptance, I only had four days to make the changes," said Evren. "The Writing Center helped me to prepare quickly. It was a great help."
Originally from Turkey, Evren is looking forward to his first visit to Hawaii to present at the conference (and to check out the local surfing!).
We wish Evren the best of luck with his presentation.
