Call For Papers - CFP

http://grupoweb.upf.edu/fosw2011/

In conjunction with the Intl. Conf. on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM 2011)

July 21, 2011 -- Barcelona; Catalunya (Spain)

TOPICS

The aim of this workshop is to encourage discussion and sharing of ideas and

highly innovative research results that focus on the future of the social web.

We aim to promote interdisciplinary research and exchange of ideas in this

area, between industry and academia, in different fields (e.g., computer

science, mathematics, physics, psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, etc.).

In particular, we would like to discuss what the future of the web might

be in light of the recent wave of social media technologies and services: there

is little doubt that the web is being fundamentally transformed by social

media, both in terms of how content is created and shared, and also in terms of

how business and society are embracing social media.

We solicit the following types of submissions:

* Highly-innovative research contributions describing innovative results;

e.g. new perspectives on social media mining, novel interaction paradigms,

empirical studies showing emerging trends, metrics, etc.

* Position papers discussing the future of the social web; e.g. future

developments that might be extrapolated from current evidence; scenarios

potentially having a strong positive or negative impact on users and society at

large; impact of new social media mechanisms on the future of search, e-mail,

and other "traditional" services; future research directions and areas of

opportunity for innovation.

Contributions are limited to 10 pages in ACM-SIG format, and should be submited

through EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fosw2011.
