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.



Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

-- Big data analytics in social networking services

-- Business intelligence in social networking services

-- Cloud computing services in social networks

-- Context awareness in social networking services

-- Collaborative services for social shopping networks

-- Digital service innovation in social networks

-- Digital service ecosystem in social networks

-- Failure and recovery of social networking services

-- Hedonic design of social networking services

-- Human-computer interaction in social networking services

-- Mobility in social networking services

-- Performance evaluation of social networking services

-- Privacy and security in social networking services

-- Service analytics in social networks

-- Service logic in social networks

-- Service quality in social networks

-- Value creating services in social networks

-- Virality and social networking services

-- Web 2.0 and social networking services
