This track focuses on socio-technical systems that create value through collective action. These actions include producing, appraising and sharing content, as well as performing various types of work. Papers are expected to contribute a new algorithm, analysis, application, or framework. Papers should be clearly positioned with respect to prior work, convey 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 online courses, large 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 consider submitting to the social networks and graph analysis track.
