The First International Symposium on Social and Community Intelligence (SCI-11)
In Conjunction with UbiComp 2011
Beijing, China, September 18, 2011
------------
Social and community intelligence (SCI) defines a new paradigm that aims at revealing the individual/group behaviors, social interactions, as well as community dynamics (e.g., city hot spots, traffic jams) by mining the digital traces left by people while interacting with cyber-physical spaces. The digital traces are generated mainly from three information sources: Internet and Web applications, wireless sensor networks, mobile/wearable devices. The scale and richness of the multimodal, mixed data sources present us an opportunity to compile the digital footprints into a comprehensive picture of individual’s daily life facets, transform our understanding of our lives, organizations and societies, and enable completely innovative services in areas like human health, public safety, city resource management, environment monitoring, and transportation management.

This symposium aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of challenges in the fields of SCI, including theoretical studies, practical issues, emerging technologies and applications. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the followings:

Social Media Mining
Online Community Analysis
Mobile Social Networking
Socially-Aware Computing
Reality Mining
Community Detection and Social Behavior Analysis
Urban Sensing
Semantic Social Web
Infrastructure Support for SCI Systems
Security, Trust, and Privacy Issues in SCI
Multi-Source Data Aggregation in SCI
SCI Applications and Services
