Social Computing encompasses research at the intersection of social behavior and computing technologies, and this track welcomes papers that explore this topic from a plurality of research methods and perspectives. In line with this year’s AMCIS conference theme, we particularly encourage submissions that explore social computing innovations leveraging intelligent technologies to shape a better future. As AI-powered algorithms increasingly influence several information technology platforms – ranging from social networking and content filtering to collaborative filtering and reputation management systems – and as these algorithms continue to evolve with ever-growing data, it is vital to examine how Social Computing technologies are being used and how they are transforming the way people work, communicate, and engage with one another.

Track Chairs:
Sara Moussawi, Carnegie Mellon University
