===========
Introduction

Social computing and networking is concerned with the intersection of
social behaviour and computing systems, creating or recreating social
conventions and contexts through the use of software and technology.
Various social computing applications such as blogs, email, instant
messaging, social networking (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ etc.),
wikis, and social bookmarking have been widely popularised by providing
digital platforms for social interaction. Such applications have been
profoundly change social behaviours and digital life styles of humankind
whilst pushing the boundaries of Internet technologies. While people can
enjoy or even indulge in the benefits such as freedom and convenience
brought about by social computing, various critical issues such as trust,
privacy, HCI design, and the modelling as well as understanding of social
behaviours via computational means provide significant challenges.


SocialCom (Social Computing and Networking) was created to provide a prime
international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain
experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art
and practice of Social Computing & Networking and its broadly related
areas.?SocialCom2014 is evolved as next premier event from previous highly
successful series of SCA2013 (Karlsruhe Germany), SCA2012 (Xiangtan China),
SCA2011 (Sydney, Australia), SocialNet-2010 (Social Computing and
Networking, Hangzhou, China), SocialNet-2009 (Social Computing and
Networking, Chengdu China), SIN-2009 (Social Intelligence and Networking,
Vancouver Canada).

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference,
including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for
LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must represent
original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at
least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register for the conference and present the work.
Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to
register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers
may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the
conference.


Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/socialcom2014/submission.htm.


Publications

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of accepted papers, or at
least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the
conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the digital
libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.

Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision,
will be published in special issues of Concurrency and Computation:
Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications,
Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Cloud
Computing.
