----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fifth International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2013)
is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from informatics and the
social & management sciences to come together to share ideas and
opinions, and to present original research work. The goal is to create
an opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge between the two
communities, as well as to enable mutual critical discussion of current
research.
The conference solicits original research and experience-based case
study papers, as well as proposals for posters and demonstrations. It
welcomes interdisciplinary papers on methods from the social sciences in
the study of information systems, applying information technology in the
study of social phenomena, or applying social concepts in the design of
information systems.
Detailed research topics of interest for this conference include, but
are not limited to:
- Computational models of social phenomena and social simulation
- Social networks and communities: discovery, evolution, analysis, and
applications
- Mining social big data
- Social behavior modeling
- Social Influence and diffusion models of social influence
- Web mining and its social interpretations
- Security, privacy, trust, reputation, and incentive issues
- Credibility of online content
- Opinion mining and social media analytics
- Design and analysis of Web2.0 applications (social or collaborative
Web applications)
- Algorithms and protocols inspired by human societies
- Mechanisms for providing fairness in information systems
- Social choice mechanisms in the e-society
- Recommendation systems
- Social applications of the semantic Web
- Social system design and architectures
- Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming, etc.)
- Impact of technology on socio-economic, security, defense aspects
- Visualization of dynamic social networks
- Social Interactions and Collaboration
- Socio-economic Systems and Applications
