**** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS **** Invitation for Participation International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2011) Singapore, October 6-8, 2011 http://www.sis.smu.edu.sg/SocInfo2011 ------------------------------------- The Third International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2011) will be held in Singapore, a major hub in the Asia Pacific region well known for its multi-racial and multi-cultural society. The mission of SocInfo2011 is to make the conference a premier venue for both social and computer scientists to exchange the latest research ideas that better integrate scholars from the two disciplines. The conference program will reflect this in the keynote talks, tutorials, workshops and paper sessions addressing emerging topics which attract interdisciplinary research attention. SocInfo2011 is hosted by the Singapore Management University and is supported by the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. The conference also receives support from the International Communication Association (ICA) and Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF). The conference sponsors include AFOSR, AOARD and Lee Foundation. SocInfo2011 offers both serious research exchanges in its keynote talks, invited talks and paper presentations. The program also includes a symposium on social dynamics in online gaming, two tutorials, poster presentations and demos. In addition, there will be a social program that covers reception, banquet and a short heritage tour for participants to know one another better and to appreciate the local culture and delicacies. With a good combination of work and fun, SocInfo2011 hopes to foster collaboration among the social informatics researchers as well as to demonstrate the relevance of their research to a wider community. The online registration of SocInfo2011 is now open. The early-bird full and student registration fees are S$500 and S$300 respectively.
