SoHuman 2012 - 1st International Workshop on Social Media for Human Computation

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities of applying social media to designing human computation systems and applications. Human computation integrates humans as distributed task-solvers into computational systems enabling the solution of complex tasks that are easy to solve for humans but difficult for pure computation. By emphasizing practical challenges and experiences from different application domains (e.g. multimedia search, enterprise, medicine, cultural heritage, open science), the workshop will stimulate the discussion on best-practices in this quickly growing field.
