Introduction
Social computing is concerned with the intersection of social
behaviour and computing systems, creating or recreating social
conventions and social contexts through the use of software and
technology. Various social computing applications such as blogs,
email, instant messaging, social networking (Facebook, MySpace,
Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), wikis, and social bookmarking have been
widely popularised where people interact socially via computing
space. Such applications have been profoundly impacting social
behaviour and life style of human beings while pushing the boundary
of computing technology simultaneously. While people can enjoy or
even indulge in the benefits such as freedom and convenience brought
about by social computing, various critical issues such as privacy
protection, touch-screen based HCI design, and modelling of social
behaviour in computing space still remain challenging.
SCA (Social Computing and its Applications) is created to provide a
prime international forum for both researchers, industry
practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest
fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Social
Computing and broadly related areas.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address
of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main
conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The
template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper
submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each
submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee
members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking
that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will
register for the conference and present the work. Submit your
paper(s) in PDF file at the SCA2011 submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sca2011.
Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested
to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise
their papers may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS
and EI after the conference.
Publications
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE
Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press (pending). Authors
of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to
register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their
papers may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI
after the conference.
Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further
revision, will be published in special issues of Journal of
Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce, Social Science
Computer Review, and Computers in Human Behavior.
