SeCoP 2013 - International Workshop on Semantic Computing and Personalization (SeCoP) 2013

As the development of World Wide Web, social networking sites, wikis and folksonomies are becoming more and more popular. The above gives a new ground to extend the focus of the Semantic Web by engaging it in other communities, where semantics can play an important role. Along with the interaction between users and computers, more and more personalized information are potentially mined from the Web by using semantic computing technology, such as ontology engineering for social network and personalization, mining user reviews, user profiling in social network, sentiment analysis for user opinion mining and so on. Connecting semantic computing and personalized can enhance classic information management and retrieval approaches. It combines data mining with semantic computing as a promising direction and offers opportunities for developing novel algorithms and tools ranging from text and multimedia. In many scenarios of social networking, folksonomy and Wikis, semantic computing, personalization and recommendation are core functionalities.
The International Workshop on Semantic Computing and Personalization (SeCoP) in conjunction with DASFAA 2013 will bring together the academia, researchers and industrial practitioners from computer science, information systems, psychology, behavior science and organization science discipline, and provide a forum for recent advances in the field of semantic computing and personalization, from the perspectives of information management and mining.
