ABOUT SINCOM'12
The International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing (SINCOM)
provides a forum on the study, design, development and evaluation of the
emergent intelligence that human-computer systems demonstrate. Socially
intelligent computational systems bring together people and computers,
support the creation of radically new forms of collaboration, communication
and intelligence and allow the generation of new, emergent behaviors.
Socially Intelligent Computing research is closely related to two
other areas of research: "social computing", i.e. the design and use of
information and communication technologies that consider social context; and
to the field of "collective intelligence", i.e. systems that facilitate the
collective behavior of groups of individual actors - people, computational
agents, and organizations - and exhibit intelligent characteristics such as
perception, learning, judgment, or problem solving.
The International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing (SINCOM)
addresses all technological aspects of socially intelligent computing, that
span a variety of issues from advanced collaborative systems to using
semantic technologies and the web of linked open data to support sociality
in computational systems. The workshop aims to attract research that
addresses either intra- and cross-enterprise settings or uses intelligent
computing infrastructures that exploit social media on the web. There is no
restriction in the application focus of work to be submitted: papers from
different domains ranging from e.g. corporate idea management to citizen
engagement are welcome.
The objective of the 1st International Workshop on Socially Intelligent
Computing is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to
discuss research issues and experiences in the study, development and
deployment of Socially Intelligent Computing concepts, applications, and
systems. The workshop will provide an international forum for the
presentation of both theoretical and practical results aiming at the
identification of items for a research agenda.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers submitted to SINCOM'12 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All
submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers
will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee. All
submissions must be in English.
Papers should not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format.
Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting
instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.
The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture
Notes in Computer Science). Additionally, extended versions of the best
papers from the Workshop may be considered for a submission in a special
issue of an International Journal indexed by ISI Thomson Reuter.
Author instructions can be found at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will
lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review. Failure to
commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from
the proceedings.
The paper submission site will be announced shortly.
