Submission is now open for SocInfo2020. Submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socinfo20


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.

·        New theories, methods and objectives in computational social
 science

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.

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).
