  The International Conference on Computer-Mediated Social
  Networking (ICCMSN 2008) will explore social networking issues
  such as formation of online communities and how collaboration and
  cooperation can be achieved.  The topics covered encompass
  multiple disciplines, including Computer Science, Sociology,
  Epidemiology, Economics, Marketing, Education, etc.  Some of the
  applications that can benefit from social network structural
  models include social norm spreading, disease propagation,
  opinion dynamics, and collective knowledge construction.  Network
  topologies can play an important role in these applications.  The
  conference will examine the links between these topics.

Topics of interest include:

* Facilitating effective structure in a Social Network Structure
   (SNS)

* Agent-based simulation for studying the dynamic behaviour in
   on-line societies

* Issues and solutions in modelling virtual collaborative
   environments

* Integration of various communication tools such as Wikis, Blogs,
   Discussion Boards etc.
