Introduction
Social
computing and
networking is concerned with the
intersection of social behaviour and
computing systems, creating or
recreating social conventions and
contexts through the use of software
and technology. Various social
computing applications such as
blogs, email, instant messaging,
social networking (Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ etc.),
wikis, and social bookmarking have
been widely popularised by providing
digital platforms for social
interaction. Such applications have
been profoundly change social
behaviours and digital life styles
of humankind whilst pushing the
boundaries of Internet technologies.
While people can enjoy or even
indulge in the benefits such as
freedom and convenience brought
about by social computing, various
critical issues such as trust,
privacy, HCI design, and the
modelling as well as understanding
of social behaviours via
computational means provide
significant challenges.
SocialCom (Social Computing and
Networking) was created to provide
a prime international forum for
researchers, industry practitioners
and domain experts to exchange the
latest fundamental advances in the
state of the art and practice of
Social Computing
& Networking and its broadly

is evolved as next premier event

Germany), SCA2012 (Xiangtan China), SCA2011 (Sydney, Australia),
SocialNet-2010 (Social Computing and
