Extended 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)
                      
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.
