Scope

The Social Computing and Semantic Data Mining Symposium (SCSD) will focus on the topics related to all aspects at the intersection of social behavior, computational systems, and semantic data mining. Of special interest to the social computing aspect of SCSD are papers reporting on novel and practical solutions to social networks, mobile social sensing, service quality, trust, online auctions, modeling and analysis, reputation systems, computational social choice, collaborative tagging, and so on. Of special interest to the semantic data mining aspect of SCSD are papers reporting in large-scale and real-world semantic applications, methodology of semantic representation and large-scale data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, artificial intelligence in social contexts, and so on. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this broad area, the Social Computing and Semantic Data Mining Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:

  • Social Networks
  • Social Network Analytics
  • Social Media Analytics and Intelligent Social Media
  • Social Service Science, Quality, Architecture
  • Trust and Privacy in Social Contexts
  • Social Networks/Media/Service System Design and Architectures
  • Semantic Web Techniques
  • Mobile Social Sensing
  • Social Intelligence
  • Social Behavior Modeling and Analysis
  • Social Aspects of Online Auctions
  • Social Behavior Synthesis
  • Opinion Representation and Influence Process Modeling
  • Reality Mining
  • Real-world Semantic Applications
  • Big Data Analytics and Storage
  • Statistical Data Mining
  • Data Mining, Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, or Artificial Intelligence in Social Contexts
  • Social Signal Processing System Design and Architectures
