CFP: Fifth Int’l Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2013)

A Call for Papers has been posted for the Fifth International Conference on Social Informatics(SocInfo 2013) in Kyoto, Japan, November 25-27. Papers are due July 25th. The conference

is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers from Computer Science, Informatics, Social Sciences and Management Sciences to share ideas and opinions, and present original research work on studying the interplay between socially-centric platforms and social phenomena. The ultimate goal of Social Informatics is to create better understanding of socially-centric platforms not just as a technology, but also as a set of social phenomena. To that end, we are inviting interdisciplinary papers, on applying information technology in the study of social phenomena, on applying social concepts in the design of information systems, on applying methods from the social sciences in the study of social computing and information systems, on applying computational algorithms to facilitate the study of social systems and human social dynamics, and on designing information and communication technologies that consider social context.

More details are available on the SocInfo 2013 Web site and in the full call for papers (PDF). Good luck to all who submit!
