The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo) is an
interdisciplinary venue for researchers from informatics and the
social & management sciences to come together to share ideas and
opinions, and 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 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: discovery, evolution, analysis and applications
- Web mining and its social interpretations
- Security, privacy, trust, reputation and incentive issues
- 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 and social applications of the semantic Web
- Virtual communities (e.g., open-source, multiplayer gaming, etc.)
- Impact of technology on socio-economic, security, defense aspects
- Visualization of dynamic social networks

Accepted papers (research, poster and demonstration) will appear in
Springer's Lecture Note Series in Computer Science.  More details on
the conference and submission guidelines can be found at the
conference website.

Selected papers will be invited to be extended for Social Network
Analysis and Mining (Springer) journal submission.
