Social Computing, Network, and Services (SocialComNet 2012)
http://www.ftrai.org/socialcomnet2012
June 26-28, 2012, Vancouver, Canada
In Conjunction with FutureTech 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------
Overview
==========
Recently, social computing and networking has been driving dramatic evolution
in the way people communicate and interact with each other, attracting great
attention from the research community as well as the business world.
Social computing not only includes Web 2.0 elements such as blogs, twitter, and
wikis, etc, but also stands for a collection of the technologies that gather,
process, compute, and visualize social information and the studies that model
and analyze dynamics of participants in social networks.
With the advent of the social computing era, SocialComNet-2012 aims at
reporting the most recent progresses, trends, and concerns in this rapidly
growing area.
This workshop will provide a forum for participants from the computing and
social science communities and publish state-of-art research papers.
Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will trigger
related research and technology innovation in this important subject.
