Call for Papers: The 2nd International Conference on Social Computing and Its Applications (SCA2012)

               Nov.1~3, 2012, Xiangtan, China, (http://kpnm.hnust.cn/confs/sca2012)

                             Theme: Social Media, Mining and Analytics 
*****************************************************************************************************


Overview 
=========================================================
Social computing is at the intersection of social behaviour and computing systems, creating or recreating social conventions, and social contexts, through the use of software and technology. Various social computing applications such as blogs, email, instant messaging, social networking (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), wikis, and social bookmarking have been widely popularised where people interact socially via the computing space. Such applications have profoundly impacted social behaviour and lifestyle while also pushing the boundary of computing technology. While people can enjoy or even indulge in the benefits such as freedom and convenience brought offered by social computing, various critical issues such as privacy protection, touch-screen based arty HCI design, and modelling of social behaviour in computing space still remain challenging. 

SCA (Social Computing and its Applications) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Social Computing and broadly related areas.
