The 9th IEEE International Conference on Social Computing and Networking (SocialCom 2016) will be held in the city of Atlanta, GA, USA during October 8-10, 2016. SocialCom was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Social Computing & Networking and its broadly related areas. SocialCom2016 is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of social computing and networking.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* 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
* Social cognition and social intelligence
* Social media analytics and intelligence
* Group formation and evolution
* Security, privacy, trust, risk and cryptography in social contexts
* Social system design and architectures
* Information retrieval, data mining, artificial intelligence and agent-based technology
* Group interaction, collaboration, representation and profiling
* Handheld/mobile social computing
* Service science and service oriented interaction design
* Cultural patterns and representation
* Emotional intelligence, opinion representation, influence process
* Mobile commerce, handheld commerce and e-markets
* Connected e-health in social networks
* Social policy and government management
* Social blog, micro-blog, public blog, internet forum
