Call for Papers:

The Fifth International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2013)
25-27 November 2013, Kyoto, Japan

http://www.socinfo2013.org

----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
