* Fundamentals of social computing
* Modelling of social behaviour
* Social network analysis and mining
* Big social media data
* Social media infrastructure and cloud computing
* Computational models of social simulation
* Web 2.0 and semantic web
* Innovative HCI and touch-screen models
* Modelling of social conventions and social contexts
