SocialCom-09 2009 - The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Social and Service Computing and Intelligence (SocialCom-09)

Following the traditions of previous successful ISPA conferences, ISPA-03 (Aizu, Japan), ISPA-04 (Hong Kong), ISPA-05 (Nanjing, China), ISPA-06 (Sorrento, Italy), ISPA-07 (Niagara Falls, Canada) and ISPA-08 (Sydney, Australia), the objective of ISPA-09 is to provide a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, research results, and applications about all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and networking. It will feature session presentations, workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. ISPA-09 is sponsored by IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and IEEE Computer Society.
