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 Proceedings. More details on the

conference and submission guidelines can be found at the conference website.
