AMCIS 2021 - Social Computing Track: Call For Mini-track Proposals - *Due
by October 16, 2020*



We invite the submission of mini-track proposals for the *Social Computing
track* at the 26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS
2021), which
will be held on August 5-7 in Montreal, Canada. AMCIS 2021 brings together
academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge
related to the AMCIS 2021 theme: *Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship*.



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.



Mini-track chairs will be responsible for:

a) promoting their mini-track to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS
2021;

b) soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the
mini-track;

c) Provide a summary report to authors based on reviews

d) making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted
to the mini-track;

e) nominating best papers and reviewers

a) mini-track chairs (names, emails, affiliation);
