Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2011)
6-8 October 2011, Singapore
http://www.socinfo2011.org or

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo) is
an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from informatics and
the social & management sciences to come together to share
ideas and opinions, and present original research work. The goal
is to create an opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge
between the two communities, as well as to enable mutual
critical discussion of current research.
The conference solicits
original research and experience based case study papers, as
well as proposals for demonstrations. It welcomes
interdisciplinary papers on methods from the social sciences in
the study of information systems, applying information
technology in the study of social phenomena, or applying social
concepts in the design of information systems.
Detailed research topics
of interest for this conference include, but are not limited to:
- Computational models of
social phenomena and social simulation
- Social networks: discovery, evolution, analysis and
applications
- Web mining and its social interpretations
- Security, privacy, trust, reputation and incentive issues
- Design and analysis of Web2.0 applications (social or
collaborative Web applications)
- Algorithms and protocols inspired by human societies
- Mechanisms for providing fairness in information systems
- Social choice mechanisms in the e-society
- Recommendation systems and social applications of the semantic
Web
- Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming,
etc.)
- Impact of technology on socio-economic, security, defense
aspects
- Visualization of dynamic social networks
In addition, the
Symposium on Social Dynamics in Online Gaming will be organized
as part of SocInfo2011. Please see the SocInfo2011 website for
more information.
Accepted papers
(research, poster and demonstration) will appear in Springer's
Lecture Note Series in Computer Science. More details on the
conference and submission guidelines can be found at the
conference website.
Selected SocInfo2011
papers will be invited to be extended for submission to a
Special Issue of Journal of Information Technology and Politics
and to the Social Network Analysis and Mining (Springer) journal
submission.
SocInfo2011 will also
provide some travel awards to student authors attending the
conference. More details about the award application will be
available later.
