PSSI-13 Introduction
=====================
Web 2.0 applications have transformed the Internet into an interactive sharing platform where users share contents within their circles. With ever-rising popularity of social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Answer, etc.), some sort of on-the-fly experiences are being learned and obtained by daily users. This type of experience has become a particular way to cultivate domain knowledge. One typical instance is friend-sourcing. People search the web to find solutions for issues that they are dealing with, rather than finding them through conventional methods. This phenomenon not only reveals that problems are about to be solved but the process that knowledge is discovered based upon the experiences from the publics. Despite a wide spectrum of research development efforts, how to prompt the knowledge discovery from an open environment (i.e., a socialized web) and provide corresponding services (e.g., decision support, and etc.) remains an open challenge.
This workshop aims at providing a forum to discuss problems, studies, practices, and issues regarding the trend of human-centric computing in the coming social environment. Researchers are encouraged to share achievements, experiments, and ideas with international participants, and furthermore, look forward to map out the research directions and collaboration in the future.
