Abstract
Social Systems and Computational Social Science - the terms often used interchangeably for the same concept speaks on emergence of a new area of research for both social and computing scientists with a hope of better understanding of social phenomena and using the same for delivering services to society. Further, the area assumes larger research interest for exploring behavior of netizens. This paper makes an attempt to follow the contours of research in this area with a proposal on designing of social systems.
