*Social Technical and Social Inclusion Issues (SIGSI)*

*Mini-Track: The Embedded Digital Environment: Individual and the New
Socio-Technical Ecosystems*

We warmly invite your submissions to the Mini-track of “*The Embedded
Digital Environment: Individual and the New Socio-Technical Ecosystems*”
within Social Technical and Social Inclusion Issues (SIGSI) Track. This
mini-track welcomes complete research papers (conceptual, theoretical, and
empirical), case studies, research-in-progress, and best practices.

*Mini-track Description*

In today’s digital world, facilitated by innovative and mobile platforms,
individuals are faced with a more dynamic and complex environment when
interacting with sociotechnical systems. It is through these interactions
that an ecosystem is created where individuals and various sociotechnical
systems they are connecting to are symbiotically influenced by one another.
Such ecosystem imposes changes on the sociotechnical systems all the while
it is gradually changing people’s daily life as well as whole societies. As
such, people are living in an embedded digital environment, which
dramatically impacts their individual capabilities offered by
customizability of the systems they use. Therefore, the study of social
technical and social inclusion issues cannot be fully understood without a
thorough examination of the dynamics of the interdependent interaction
between individual and the system. This mini-track provides a forum for
presenting research in this new and exciting area of social technical
environment.

*Potential Topics*

Possible topics thus include but are not limited to:


   - Digital Individual Systems
   - Digital Individual Systems in Workplace
   - Individual and Sharing Economy
   - Individual and Crowdsourcing
   - Individual Behaviors (e.g. decision-making) in the new Socio-technical
   Ecosystems
   - Individual and User Capability in the new Socio-technical Ecosystems
   - Individual and Task Performance in the new Socio-Technical system
   - Individual and IT diffusion and adoption in the new Socio-Technical
   system
   - Theories and relevant research frameworks for exploring individual
   usage of IT
