Objectives

To define a research area around the study of emergent social process or structures on social software or media.

Morning

The morning will be a three hour session relating case studies, sort papers or presentations of how they have used implicit structure or process within a much less structured social software space, ie blogs, wikis, social networks.

6 stories and presentations of about 20-30 minutes each. These will either be a paper presentation, slide show or Q&A session depending on participant.

Extra time can be taken up with anecdotal stories and experience.

Afternoon

The afternoon will be a three hour session that will extract themes, coalesce ideas, relate disciplines, and see if we can define a space for study or research.

• This will be started with a "Scribble, Say, Slap" process to emerge ideas.
• Followed by a clustering exercise to seperate out concepts.
• Then mapping relationships
• Finally a less formal discussion around the outcomes and the process
• Ending with a next steps for all participants.

Outcomes

• We will publish on this wiki all the case studies and morning stories
• The concept mapping will be documented
• Next steps will be written up and also documented here
