Call for Papers The Third International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2011)6-8 October 2011, Singapore http://www.socinfo2011.org or http://www.sis.smu.edu.sg/SocInfo2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo) is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from informatics and the social & management sciences to come together to share ideas and opinions, and 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 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: discovery, evolution, analysis and applications - Web mining and its social interpretations - Security, privacy, trust, reputation and incentive issues - 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 and social applications of the semantic Web - Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming, etc.) - Impact of technology on socio-economic, security, defense aspects - Visualization of dynamic social networks Accepted papers (research, poster and demonstration) will appear in Springer's Lecture Note Series in Computer Science. More details on the conference and submission guidelines can be found at the conference website. Selected papers will be invited to be extended for Social Network Analysis and Mining (Springer) journal submission.
