Digital and Social Media

Witnessing the exponential speed of digitalization in all aspects of human activities, the HICSS conference organizers and the new co-track chairs envision expanding the scope of the Digital Media track to augment the role of HICSS in promoting digital and social-media-related research. Defined in a broad sense, digital media are digitized content (text, graphics, audio/video) that can be archived and transmitted over multiple networks such as cable, satellite, telecommunications, and broadband networks to a variety of digital devices from mainframe systems to individual smart phones. Social media describes the collection of web and mobile-based technologies that mediate human and social communication via social networks and that enable individuals, groups and communities to gather, communicate and share information, to collaborate or to play. Digital and social media research are closely related, as both address basic communications processes (defined as the sharing of meaning) and increasingly critical as the role of networks and other digital technologies become an anchor for change in societies.

We view this track as a convening platform for researchers to share and discuss their cutting-edge research in a number of current and hot issues related to digital and social media. Issues and topics include, but are not limited to:
