Call for Papers:
 
The Fifth International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2013) 
co-located with WebDB Forum 2013

25-27 November 2013, Kyoto University
 
http://www.socinfo2013.org
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fifth International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2013) 
is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from informatics and the 
social & management sciences to come together to share ideas and 
opinions, and to 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 posters and 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 and communities: discovery, evolution, analysis, and 
applications
- Mining social big data
- Social behavior modeling
- Social Influence and diffusion models of social influence
- Web mining and its social interpretations
- Security, privacy, trust, reputation, and incentive issues
- Credibility of online content
- Opinion mining and social media analytics
- 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
- Social applications of the semantic Web
- Social system design and architectures
- Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming, etc.)
- Impact of technology on socio-economic, security, defense aspects
- Visualization of dynamic social networks
- Social Interactions and Collaboration
- Socio-economic Systems and Applications
- Social Informatics Theory
- Intelligence and Social Cognition
- Temporal characteristics of social media and social interactions
- Real-time analysis and visualization of social phenomena
- Evaluating sociability of applications
 
Submissions should be original and should be submitted in English in pdf 
format via the submission system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socinfo2013
The length of the research papers should not exceed 14 pages, while the 
demonstration submissions should be no longer than 6 pages (tentative).
As in the previous years, the accepted papers (research and 
demonstration) will appear in Springer's Lecture Note Series in Computer 
Science. Some of the research paper submissions can be accepted as short 
papers based on the decision of the Program Committee. More details on 
the conference and submission guidelines can be found at the conference
