SCI 2011 - SCI 2011 1st International Symposium on Social and Community Intelligence

Welcome to SCI 2011
1st International Symposium on Social and Community Intelligence
http://www.ayu.ics.keio.ac.jp/members/bingo/SCI/
In Conjunction with UbiComp2011
Beijing, China
September 18, 2011.
　
Social and community intelligence (SCI) [1] defines a new paradigm that aims at revealing the individual/group behaviors, social interactions, as well as community dynamics (e.g., city hot spots, traffic jams) by mining the digital traces left by people while interacting with cyber-physical spaces . The digital traces are generated mainly from three information sources: Internet and Web applications, wireless sensor networks, mobile/wearable devices. The scale and richness of the multimodal, mixed data sources present us an opportunity to compile the digital footprints into a comprehensive picture of individual’s daily life facets, transform our understanding of our lives, organizations and societies, and enable completely innovative services in areas like human health, public safety, city resource management, environment monitoring, and transportation management. SCI shares many commons with several close related areas: social computing, reality mining, human-centric sensing, and urban computing. Different from these areas that generally rely on one of the data sources for information extraction, SCI explores the fusion/aggregation of the three information sources to infer intelligence at the social and community level, ranging from individual activities, group behaviours, and social interaction within a community, to dynamics of a whole community (e.g., hot spot detection).

Who should attend？
This symposium aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of challenges in the fields of SCI, including theoretical studies, practical issues, emerging technologies and applications. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the followings:

- Social Media Mining
- Online Community Analysis
- Mobile Social Networking
- Socially-Aware Computing
- Reality Mining
- Community Detection and Social Behavior Analysis
- Urban Sensing
- Semantic Social Web
- Infrastructure Support for SCI Systems
- Security, Trust, and Privacy Issues in SCI
- Multi-Source Data Aggregation in SCI
- SCI Applications and Services

SCI 2011 will be held in Beijing, China in September 2011, in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp2011). All accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Extended versions of selected best papers will be considered for publication in special issues of ACM/Springer international journals.
