Hawaii
International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-48
2015
Minitrack:
Design and Innovation of
Social Networking Services
(Collaboration
Systems and Technology track)
*INTRODUCTION*
Social
networks are computer-mediated communities whose members
share
common
interests, needs or purposes. Consequently, most, if not
all, of the
content,
companionship and entertainment accessible from social
networks
are
dependent on the voluntary contributions of members. Unlike
formalized
relationships
however, social networks exercise little authority and
control
over the behavior of members. For social networks to
prosper, they
must
therefore be proactive in delivering innovative and
value-added
services
that facilitate members in generating novel content,
maintaining
community
cohesion as well as providing advice and mutual support to
one
another
in times of need.
Social
networking services embody both social and technical
elements that
shape
how members interact with one another. Whereas social
elements
reflect
communal policies that dictate the participatory behaviors
of
members
in social networks, technical elements refer to actual
technological
functionalities, which support the enactment and enforcement
of
these policies. The *design*
and *innovation* of
social networking
services
thus play an instrumental role in determining members?
participation
within such communities.
This
minitrack embraces both retrospective and progressive views
of how
social
networking services have evolved and would transform with
technological
advances. We welcome papers that identify and address
knowledge
gaps in the design and innovation of
social networking services
in
response to emergent technologies. Papers that subscribe to
inter-disciplinary
perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly
welcome.

--
Big data analytics in social networking services
