Social computing
can be broadly defined as computational facilitation of social
studies and human social dynamics as well as the design and
use of information and communication technologies that
consider social context.
The
Second International Workshop on Social Computing (SOCO 2009)
intends to build on the success of SOCO 2008, held in June
2008 as part of the IEEE ISI 2008 Conference. SOCO
2009 will bring together social computing researchers from a
wide spectrum of academic disciplines to (a) report and review
the current state of the art of social computing research and
its applications, (b) identify key technical
challenges facing social computing studies; and
(c) provide a forum to bring together researchers and
practitioners to identify future research opportunities.
SOCO 2009 is part of the pre-conference
workshop series of the Seventh IEEE International Conference
on Intelligence and Security Informatics (IEEE
ISI-2009).
