ABOUT SINCOM'12

The International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing (SINCOM)

provides a forum on the study, design, development and evaluation of the

emergent intelligence that human-computer systems demonstrate. Socially

intelligent computational systems bring together people and computers,

support the creation of radically new forms of collaboration, communication

and intelligence and allow the generation of new, emergent behaviors.

Socially Intelligent Computing research is closely related to two

other areas of research: "social computing", i.e. the design and use of

information and communication technologies that consider social context; and

to the field of "collective intelligence", i.e. systems that facilitate the

collective behavior of groups of individual actors - people, computational

agents, and organizations - and exhibit intelligent characteristics such as

perception, learning, judgment, or problem solving.

The International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing (SINCOM)

addresses all technological aspects of socially intelligent computing, that

span a variety of issues from advanced collaborative systems to using

semantic technologies and the web of linked open data to support sociality

in computational systems. The workshop aims to attract research that

addresses either intra- and cross-enterprise settings or uses intelligent

computing infrastructures that exploit social media on the web. There is no

restriction in the application focus of work to be submitted: papers from

different domains ranging from e.g. corporate idea management to citizen

engagement are welcome.

The objective of the 1st International Workshop on Socially Intelligent

Computing is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to

discuss research issues and experiences in the study, development and

deployment of Socially Intelligent Computing concepts, applications, and

systems. The workshop will provide an international forum for the

presentation of both theoretical and practical results aiming at the

identification of items for a research agenda.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to SINCOM'12 must not have been accepted for publication

elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All

submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,

significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers

will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee. All

submissions must be in English.

Papers should not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format.

Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting

instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.

The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture

Notes in Computer Science). Additionally, extended versions of the best

papers from the Workshop may be considered for a submission in a special

issue of an International Journal indexed by ISI Thomson Reuter.

Author instructions can be found at:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will

lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review. Failure to

commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from

the proceedings.

The paper submission site will be announced shortly.
