[agents] CFP: International Conference on Social Informatics

[Frank Dignum]

    [Apologies for cross-posting]

    The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2020) is
    an interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers from the
    computational and social sciences to help fill the gap between the
    two communities. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum to
    help practitioners from the two disciplines define common research
    objectives and explore methodologies. The organizers welcome a broad
    range of contributions, from those that apply methods from the
    social sciences to the study of socio-technical systems, to the
    application of computational methods to the study of complex social
    processes and the use of social concepts in the design of
    information systems.

    IMPORTANT DATES

    ·Submission deadline:* April 20, 2020*

    ·Notification of acceptance:* July 1, 2020*

    ·Camera ready and cut-off registration deadline:* July 15, 2020*

    ·Conference: *October 6-9, 2020*

    All the deadlines are at 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth Time.

    SocInfo2020 offers an opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge
    between the two communities by soliciting presentations of original
    research papers and experience-based case studies in computer
    science, sociology, psychology, political science, anthropology,
    economics, linguistics, artificial intelligence, social network
    analysis, and other disciplines that can shed light on the open
    questions in the growing field of computational social science.

    SocInfo2020 will also offer keynote talks and invited talks that
    will be tailored to enhance the collaboration between the two
    research cultures in an era when social interactions are ubiquitous
    and span offline, online and augmented reality worlds.

    INFORMATION ABOUT SUBMISSION

    We solicit submission of three types of contribution:

    ·*Full papers: *should not exceed 12 pages in LNCS format (excluding
    references and any appendix), to be presented orally;

    ·*Short papers: *should not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format (excluding
    references and any appendix), to be presented orally;

    ·*Abstracts: *1 page (excluding references) in any formats, to be
    presented as posters;

    Submissions will be reviewed through a* double-blind review process
    *(names of the authors invisible). To ensure a thorough and fair
    review process, the conference will rely on a two-tier review
    process and we will enforce strict review guidelines to provide even
    higher-quality feedback to authors. To further incentivize useful
    and detailed feedback to authors, contributions of best reviewers
    will be rewarded with special mentions.

    As in previous years, accepted papers will appear in Springer
    Lecture Note Series in Computer Science. We will also allow accepted
    papers to be presented without publication in the conference
    proceedings, if the authors choose to do so. Some of the full paper
    submissions may be accepted as short papers after review by the
    Program Committee. A small set of particularly high quality and
    important papers will be selected for journal publication.

    SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

    Original manuscripts should be submitted in English in Lecture Notes
    in Computer Science (LNCS) pdf format through Easychair
    <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socinfo20> (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socinfo20).

    FORMATTING AND ANONYMIZATION.

    Because SocInfo will publish proceedings, manuscripts should be
    formatted according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
    Science (LNCS) paper formatting guidelines
    <https://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>.

    Please ensure that you have anonymized the pdf file for you
    submission by removing all author names and affiliations and any
    other information in the file which can be used to identify the
    author(s).

    Looking forward to receiving your submissions and hopefully seeing
    you in Pisa.

    Best Regards,

    Samin Aref (Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany)
