**Overview**

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:

- Mobile Social Networking
- Mobile Phone Sensing
- Opportunistic Social Networking
- Participatory Social Sensing
- Mobile Crowd Sensing
- Socially-Aware Computing
- Cross-Community Sensing and Mining
- Community Detection and Social Behavior Analysis
- Urban Sensing and Computing
- Infrastructure Support for SCI Systems
- Security, Trust, and Privacy Issues in SCI
- Data Aggregation and Association in SCI
- SCI Applications and Services
