Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-52)
Conference Date: January 8-11, 2019, Grand Wailea, Maui
Track: Digital and Social Media

********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2018 **********
After the World-Wide Web and e-commerce, the evolution of social
software is often referred to as the third generation of the
Internet. Various forms of social information systems have emerged
since with online communities, collaborative technologies, blogs,
wikis and sites for crowdsourcing being among the well-known. It
may be observed that Social information systems have profound
implications on the way individuals communicate, be it in private
or professional interactions, and the way economic processes are
organized. For example, the so-called "Gig-economy" posits that
crowdsourcing platforms have the power to change hierarchical
coordination towards more market-like and fluid forms where
individuals bring in their competencies for specific projects,
I.e. "gigs". Social information systems are the new "glue" among
individuals outside as well as inside organizations.
From this definition, four characteristics of social information
systems may be derived: weak ties, social production,
egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning. Weak-ties are
spontaneously established contacts between individuals that create
new views and allow combining competencies. Social Production is
the creation of artifacts, by combining the input from independent
contributors without predetermining the way to do this.
Egalitarianism is the attitude of handling individuals equally.
Social information systems overcome the separation of the service
provider and consumer by introducing the idea, that service
provisioning is a mutual process of service exchange and thus
co-creation of value.
The objective of the Minitrack ˇ°Social Information Systemsˇ± is to
promote the scientific exchange on social information systems. The
Minitrack shall explore how social information systems are
designed, implemented, operated and improved. It shall also
contribute to the understanding regarding the interaction with
their environment and the impact on economic coordination
structures.
In the ˇ°Social Information Systemsˇ± Minitrack we seek papers that
explore how social information systems are designed, implemented,
operated and integrated.
Possible topics are:
- New methods for developing and understanding social information
systems
- Insights how communication and innovation can be fostered by
social information systems
- Impact of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and
mutual service provisioning
- Businesses processes enabled by social information systems
- Link of social business processes and other business processes
- Modeling of social processes for social information systems
- New technologies and architectures for social information
systems
- Data creation and analytics within social information systems
