AMCIS 2016 - Social Computing Track: Call For Minitrack Proposals

We invite the submission of minitrack proposals for the Social Computing track at the 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2016), which will be held on August 11-13, 2016 in San Diego, California. AMCIS 2016 brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2016 theme: Surfing the IT Innovation Wave.

Social Computing track description:
As the quantity of data captured about and shared by individuals has exploded over the last decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in information technologies - such as social networking platforms, collaborative filtering and reputation management systems - that facilitate social interaction among individuals. With the recognition that Social Computing straddles research at the intersection of social behavior and computing technologies, we would like to encourage papers that approach this topic from a plurality of research methods and perspectives. This track welcomes submissions that explore how these Social Computing technologies have transformed how people work, communicate, and play together.

Minitrack chairs will be responsible for:
a) promoting their minitrack to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2016;
b) soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the minitrack; and
c) making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the minitrack.

To submit a minitrack proposal, you must submit:
a) minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation);
b) minitrack title;
c) short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2016 website (up to 150 words);
d) call for papers for your minitrack.
