~~~ Workshop on Issues and Challenges in Social Computing (WICSOC 2011)~~~
Social computing is a new paradigm of computing and technology development.
New applications/systems leveraging social computing are being developed to address
problems in many different areas. These applications/systems gather abundance of
social information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their services or help
researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people,
wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. Novel techniques
for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of social
information. Systematic approaches, design principles, and evaluation strategies need to
be researched for developing effective social computing applications. Other challenges in
social computing include accommodating privacy, security, and trust expectations of users.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the issues and challenges in
social computing systems. We invite research or position papers from researchers and
practitioners working in any aspect of social computing.
Example topics, but not limited to, include:
- Reuse/integration of social information/social metadata
- Design, modeling, and simulation of social computing systems
- Enterprise social systems
- Social media and Gov 2.0 (e-government)
- Mobile social software
- Social learning systems
- Social navigation systems
- Integration of structured/ unstructured/semi-structured social information
- Privacy, security, and trust issues in social computing systems
- Social information mining
- Social recommendation systems
- Social information management
- Information exchange across social systems
- Evaluation of social computing system
All contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts. Papers should be 4-6 pages
(English) in IEEE format, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. Accepted papers will
be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings. The extended versions of
the best papers from the workshop will be considered for International Journal of Social Network
Analysis and Mining.
