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
First International Workshop on Social Computing (SOCO 2008)
intends to 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. Below
are some sample research topics.
SOCO 2008 is part of the pre-conference
workshop series of the Sixth IEEE International Conference
on Intelligence and Security Informatics (IEEE
ISI-2008).
SOCO
2008 Workshop Proceedings was
published in Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science
Series.
