Deadline- July 7, 2012
The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2012) is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from Computer Science, Informatics, Social Sciences and Management Sciences to share ideas and opinions, and present original research work on studying the interplay between socially-centric platforms and social phenomena. To that end, we are inviting interdisciplinary papers, on applying information technology in the study of social phenomena, on applying social concepts in the design of information systems, on applying methods from the social sciences in the study of social computing and information systems, on applying computational algorithms to facilitate the study of social systems and human social dynamics, and on designing information and communication technologies that consider social context.
A special focus of SocInfo’2012 is on how technology can influence social phenomena through better motivation of human agents, through the use of social norms, through better modeling, or through a better understanding of social concepts like trust, credibility, privacy, and fairness.
Detailed research topics of interest for this conference include, but are not limited to-
- Computational models of social phenomena, social simulation
- Social choice mechanisms in the e-society
- Social networks: discovery, evolution, analysis, applications
- Social Behavior Modeling
- Web mining and its social interpretations
- Social Influence and Diffusion Models of Social Influence
- Security, privacy, trust, reputation and incentive issues
- Social Communities and Social Network Analysis
- Design and analysis of social/collaborative Web applications
- Social Interactions and Collaboration
- Algorithms and protocols inspired by human societies
- Socio-economic Systems and Applications
- Mechanisms for providing fairness in information systems
- Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming)
- Impact of technology on socio-economic
- Recommendation systems
- Visualization of dynamic social networks
- Social applications of the semantic Web
- Social Informatics Theory
- Social system design and architectures
- Trust, Privacy, Risk and Security in Social Contexts
- Social Intelligence and Social Cognition
- Social media analytics and social media intelligence
- Emotional Intelligence and Data Mining
