Social Computing

December 20th, 2021

Social Computing is an area of computer science that is concerned with the intersection of social behavior and computational systems. It is based on creating or recreating social conventions and social contexts through the use of software and technology. We will address social computing infrastructures, social computing engineering processes, computational social science, in particular recommender systems and community detection, crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, the dark web, mixed reality, mobile social computing, science 2.0 and advanced topics.
