   Workshop on Collaborative Communities for Social Computing
                (CCSocialComp 2011)

        a workshop of the CollaborateCom 2011 conference
          Orlando, Florida, USA, October 15-18, 2011

Social computing is an emergent field of computational sciences which
harvests the collective intelligence and social relationships of users
to create value. In contrast to the centralization and automation
tendencies of many computing approaches, social computing shifts the
locus of intelligence from the computer to the human user, from the
server to the client and from the core to the edge of the network.

Moreover, the widespread adoption of Web 2.0 related technologies has
facilitated user collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thanks to these
technologies, collaborative communities are today one of the emerging
trends in the ICT ( Information and Communication Technology) area.
Collaborative tools based on the Web 2.0 are today more and more used
not only by single users, but also at the enterprise level to
communicate, share information, taking decisions, and doing business. As
such, the application of collaborative tools for social computing is
creating both interesting opportunities and challenges.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers in various disciplines
to explore the effect of social computing on different scenario. Our
ultimate goal is to foster communication and collaboration across
disciplines to enable interdisciplinary approaches for social computing.

For this workshop, we are requesting submissions on all topics relevant
to social computing, including but not restricted to:

* Social networks
* Collective intelligence
* Prediction markets
* Collaborative filtering and tagging
* Recommendation systems
* Online auction systems
* Negotiation models
* Reputation and trust in social computing
* Privacy and anonymity in social computing
* Incentive design, motivations
* Implementation approaches, architectures for social computing
* Scalability of social computing
* Mobile and location aware social computing

Important dates:

* Paper submission: July 22, 2011
* Author notification: August 19, 2011
* Camera ready: August 30, 2011

Submission Guidelines

Research papers for Collaborative Communities for Social Computing
should be up to 8 pages in IEEE 2-column format.

Submission of papers is through the EasyChair conference system at
