Social media, including but not limited to Web 2.0 applications such as
blogs, social network sites (e.g., Facebook and Google+), content
communities (e.g., Youtube, Wikipedia), online Forums, is affecting
everyone’s life. Nowadays, people are not only using these applications for
communicating with their friends and love ones, but also for entertainment,
information search, and sharing of opinions. At the same time, business
enterprises and government agencies also use social media for engaging with
their consumers and citizens, and hoping for creating business
opportunities and enlisting their supports, respectively. As a result,
there is an imminent need for all the stakeholders, including both private
and public organizations, members of the public, academics, and
practitioners to gain a better understanding on this new form of
communication tool.

To investigate into the impact of social media to the society, and in
particular, on the development of social media systems and services, we now
call for research related various aspects of social media. We intentionally
seeks scientists, engineers, educators, solution developers, policy makers,
management, analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and
understanding of the big challenges in the development of Social Media
Systems and Services. In particular, we are interested in interdisciplinary
research, which synthesizes theories and models from communication,
computer science, economics, information systems, marketing, psychology,
and service sciences. This special issue also aims at helping in
communicating and disseminating relevant recent research across
disciplines, cultures, and communities.

Topics include but not limited to:

   - Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, and social issues of
   social media
   - Psychological and personality-based studies of social media
   - The role of social media in business, for both small and medium
   enterprises and major companies, in the context of E-business and E-service
   - Social media research based on theories in customer relationship
   management and consumer behavior
   - Information search, collaborative filtering, and personalization in
   social media
   - New social media application development
   - The role of social media in politics and social activism
   - Law enforcement issues related to social media
   - The impact of social media on E-learning
   - The role of social media in service science
   - Social network analysis
   - Trust and reputation issues in social media
   - Measuring predictability of real world phenomena based on social media
