Dear colleagues: HICSS has several mini-tracks of interest to AoIR; here
is a reminder of ours. Deadline is not under our control.
-----------------------------
Social Media and Communities -- a "mini-track" at the
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, (HICSS-51)
January 3-6, 2018, Hilton Waikoloa Village, Hawaii
Full paper submission deadline, June 15
We call for papers that address social networks and communities
supported and/or complemented by social media for work, learning,
socializing, economic and/or political processes, and/or that address
theory, design, practices, use or evaluation of such social media use.
‘Communities’ is taken in a broad sense, including communities of
practice, epistemic communities, or communities of inquiry, as well as
fully virtual communities, and social media use that supports or
complements geographically based community. We particularly encourage
papers that:
* advance our understanding of social network growth, formation,
structure and outcomes through social media;
* explore how socio-technical affordances relate to social media use and
outcomes;
* evaluate design of social media technologies and practices for
effective community development and maintenance; and
* develop theories, models and principles of social media design, use
and outcomes.
We encourage the submission of exploratory and theoretical papers, as
well as empirical studies.
HICSS 51 and the "Big Island"
The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, in its 51st
year, is one of the longstanding scientific conferences and is highly
ranked among information systems conferences. Diverse disciplines
unified by a focus on information technologies are woven together in a
matrix structure of tracks and themes. By attending HICSS you are not
only reaching the audience of your track and mini-track; you also have
the opportunity to learn about what is happening in related fields and
meet leaders in those fields. Other mini-tracks within the Digital and
Social Media track are particularly relevant: see
http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-51/digital-and-social-media/
With five of the world's seven climate zones, and a mixture of Hawaiian
and immigrant cultures, the "Big Island" of Hawaii offers diverse
outdoor activities, good food, and cultural activities.
