Introduction
The aim of this workshop is to examine: The possibilities and potential applications Online Social
Networking Sites have for communities in a variety of complex problem domains.
How communities can transfer their needs to an online environment is underexplored and is the scope of this workshop.
How communities and organizations are using these networks to replace and augment traditional avenues of communication,
The types of communities that may benefit the most, and What untapped functionalities may exist. What does the
future hold for SNS? Will SNS change the way we work in the future?

Social Networks defined
“a set of people (or organizations or other social entities) connected by a set of social relationships, such as friendship, co-working or information exchange” (p.2).

Applicable in Social As Well As in Information Systems
“Virtual organization integrates and generalizes several specialized constructs useful in the design of computer systems and networks. Virtual memory, virtual machines, and virtual circuit routing are well-known examples; less evident perhaps is that virtual reality also belongs to this family of constructs. But virtual organization has an even wider scope, in that it is also useful in modeling social systems.” (p32)Mowshowitz, Abbe.

Communities of Practice
Defined by Wenger,
“Communities of practice are groups of people
who share a concern, a set of problems, or a
passion about a topic, and who deepen their
knowledge and expertise in this area byinteracting on an ongoing basis.”

Updated Definition for SNS
“We characterize a social network as links from people to other people, groups or information objects. Such objects may be messages, photos, videos, wall postings, notifications, current activities, events, widgets, etc. Such links might be created by intelligent agents or by the users. A wall posting is a public communication, like a blog, associated with a SNS individual member or group.”

Barriers To Use
The need to verify and “scrub” the data,
The need to bridge cultural differences to enable collaboration,
The need to avoid information overload, The need for reliability and accessibility,
and The need to attract users (in particular
emergency managers).

Objectives of Workshop
What functionality would be required, What issues (and how to overcome them)
exist that can impede their use. Explore the potential use of Online Social
Networking to support more complex entities in the future and forecast what potential they hold for domains and uses not yet envisioned
