Call For Papers - CFP

Computer Science is intertwined with users from its early beginnings. There is hardly a software just for itself. Each software is created for user needs. This process has now reached the private life. The Internet, Web and wireless communication has fundamentally changed our daily communication and how information flows in commercial and private networks. New issues came up with this trend: Non-SQL databases offer better feature for a number of social applications. Semantic systems helps to bridge the gap between words and their meaning. Data mining and inference helps to extract implicit facts. P2P systems are proper answers to an increasing amount of data that shall be exchanged. In 2010, more smart phones than computer are sold. Mobile devices and context aware systems (e.g. locations based systems) play a major role for social applications. New threats accompany these trends as well, though. Social hacking, lost of privacy, vague or complex copy rights are just one of them.

Conference venue is the Ellington hotel in the heart of Berlin.

Full, short and work-in-progress paper are welcome.

Topics

Software has entered the private and social life. This conference shall bring together new technical trends, research and applications.
