SOCIAL COMPUTING

SCOIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS MINITRACK

 

As social media becomes a standard communication and collaboration platform, large amounts of data are generated and publically available on tools such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wikis and more. As with other forms of big data a key question to address is how this data can be used to learn about individual and social behaviors, how predictions can be made on various indicators based on social media data, and how can we apply these data to impact organizational performance. For this new mini track on social media analytics we are interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that addresses these and other related questions.
