This track focuses on socio-technical systems that create value through the collective actions of many. These actions include producing, appraising and sharing content, as well as performing various types of work.
Papers are expected to contribute a new algorithm, new data analysis results, new applications of practical relevance, new frameworks, etc. Papers should be clearly positioned with respect to previous work, convey clearly the importance of the contribution and findings, and report in detail the methodology used and the obtained results, including a comparison with state-of-the-art methods when appropriate.
Topics include:
- Modeling, design and operation of crowdsourcing systems and social media platforms.
- Workflow optimization based on expertise, compatibility, time constraints, etc.
- Engagement, motivations, incentives, and gamification.
- Trust, reputation, security, privacy, and ethics.
- Mining of social media and crowd-generated data; studying off-line phenomena with on-line data.
- Trend identification, tracking, and forecasting; time-sensitive and real-time analysis.
- Interactions of human computation and machine intelligence.
- Virtual communities including massive multi-player games, massive courses, fora, and others.
- Impacts and applications in traditional/mainstream media, governments, non-governmental organizations and business, and in sectors such as health care, science, and education.
- Impacts in employment, labor, legislation, politics, governance, democracy and economics; changes in homes, workplaces, schools, and the city.
If the core elements of your contribution are graph algorithms or graph analysis, please also check the call for papers of the social networks and graph analysis track.
