TRACK DESCRIPTION The social issues in IS track of AMCIS 2009 addresses social or community level issues that impact information systems technology. Social issues inevitably affect socio-technical systems, as they are social systems built upon a technical base, e.g. email, electronic markets, social network systems, knowledge exchange systems, blogs, chat rooms and others. Social requirements originate in social communities, and are in addition to human-computer interaction (HCI) requirements, which in turn add to those of traditional technology (hardware and software). The field of socio-technical research welcomes research from all disciplines, including computing, engineering, law, education, computing, health, business and many others.
Possible areas in addition to previous mini-tracks include:
1. Social issues in information system requirements and agile development
2. Social issues in online collaboration and work systems: group writing, task teams and online organizational work
3. Social issues in virtual communities: innovation, leadership, roles, social identity and social capital
4. Social issues in online resource sharing: open source systems, online file and media sharing and knowledge sharing repositories
5. Social Issues in online social games, simulations and worlds
6. Social issues in online conversing and relating: email, blogs and social networks
7. Social issues in online risk: trust, accountability, ownership, disclosure, anonymity and participation
8. Ethical issues in information system development, operation and use
9. Social issues in online trade, markets, negotiation and customer communities
10. Online research collaboratories and e-research groups
11. Social evaluation and performance of online communities and services
12. Social issues in online community assessments: reputation and karma systems, online product ratings and e-voting systems
13. Online support for minority, disadvantaged and indigenous groups
