This HICSS minitrack has been ongoing since 2003 under various titles.
Papers address the interrelationship between social media and communities
in all aspects of our (online and offline) lives.  We call for papers that
address research, theory, practice, and/or policy around our new
interlinkages via social media in support of communities of practice,
inquiry, and interest  for business, political, social, learning, and
gaming initiatives and outcomes.

Until this year, this minitrack has been in the Internet and Digital
Economy Track. Due to its overwhelming success, the minitrack has become a
founding part of the new Track: Digital and Social Media. In previous
years, the minitrack has been among the largest at the conference, and
‘best papers’ from the minitrack have often received the ‘Best Paper in
Track’ awards.

We call for papers that address issues of online communities of practice,
inquiry and interest created in the interest of political, educational,
business, social and/or gaming pursuits, and with attention to how online
community building and management contribute to success in these endeavors.
Papers are welcomed that address wholly online communities, as well as
those that address the interplay between online and offline means of
interaction; the use of single media, as well as those that address the way
different media support community practice; and community, as well as
crowd-based collectives online.

Examples of possible interdisciplinary topics of interest in these contexts
include, but are not limited to the following:

Social, political and/or economic impact of social media
Crowds and Communities as sociological phenomenon in the digital economy
Community development and community informatics
Design, development, and user studies of social media
Design of online crowds and/or communities of practice, inquiry or interest
Online learning communities: structures, implementations, and practices
Serious leisure online
Organizational behavior of communities
Behavior in online gaming communities
Social network studies and analyses of online crowds and communities
Mobile applications, services and use for and by online communities
Case studies and topologies of online communities
Case studies and analyses of the rise and fall of social network sites and
online communities
Theoretical models of online crowds and communities, social media use, etc.
Models and cases of synergies and/or conflicts between offline and online
worlds
Critical perspectives on social media and local and/or virtual community
Research methods for the study of social networking and community


ABOUT HICSS CONFERENCES
http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm

HICSS conferences are devoted to the most relevant advances in the
information, computer, and system sciences, and encompass developments in
both theory and practice. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual,
tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation are
included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer
Society and maintained in the IEEE Digital Library.

How to Submit a Paper:  Follow Author Instructions posted on the conference
web site:  http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm

HICSS papers must contain original material.  They may not have been
previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere.  All submissions
undergo a double-blind peer review process. Abstracts are optional, but
recommended. You may contact the Minitrack Chair(s) for guidance or
verification of content.

Submit a paper to only one Minitrack.  If a paper is submitted to more than
one minitrack, then either paper may be rejected by either minitrack
without consultation with author or other chairs. If you are not sure of
the appropriate Minitrack, submit an abstract to the Track Chair(s) for
determination, and/or seek informal opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before
submitting.

Do not author or co-author more than 5 papers.  This means that an
individual may be listed as author or co-author on no more than 5 submitted
papers.  Track Chairs must approve any names added after submission or
acceptance on August 15.
