Call for Papers -
Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Savannah Ga,
August 7-10, 2014
Mini-Track: Web
and Social Intelligence
Track:
Intelligence and Intelligent Systems (SIGODIS)
Enterprises are
increasingly exploring Social Media Strategies to identify
and engage their stakeholders
and build competitive differentiation. Content generated
in social networking environments
might include discussion threads, logs of chat room
conversations, contents of blogs,
and any other content posted by users. The
accumulated content and ideas within successful social
networking environments represent an aggregation of the
collective intelligence
of the user community participating in those sites. The
accumulated content can be viewed
as an asset whose value might be tapped through the right
types of analyses. This asset has
potential value to both owners of the sites as well as the
organizations whose products and services being
discussed. It presents significant implications for
enterprises wanting to leverage social
networks to draw insights and inferences on user
participation and preferences expressed
in networks.
Multiple
inference options exist for understanding the behavior of
online social
networks. One area of analysis is that of focusing on the
content purely, to try to discover concepts, facts or
opinions from the content posted by users. A second type
of analysis is to focus
on the users themselves to discover networks (or
sub-groups) in the community and to learn
how those sub-groups get formed or change. We invite
submissions which explore these or
other analytic approaches to identifying and tapping the
value of the content and ideas which accumulate
within social media environments.
Conceptual,
empirical and design-oriented works are welcome and will
be considered for this mini-track.
