2012 Social Informatics conference is on December 14-16, 2012.

Social Informatics can be broadly defined as interdisciplinary research areas of social studies, human dynamics, computing science, and industrial engineering technologies that consider social context. Social informatics has recently become one of the emerging themes across a number of information and communication technology fields and attracted significant interest from not only researchers in computing and social sciences, but also software and online game vendors, web entrepreneurs, political analysts, digital government practitioners. The First ASE/IEEE International Conference on Social Informatics provides a key forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of social informatics.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

• Computational Social Science
• Human Dynamics
• Social Signal Processing
• Social Behavior Modeling
• Social Informatics Theories
• Social Intelligence and Social Cognition
• Social Media Analytics and Social Media Intelligence
• Human-Computer Interaction and Interface Design
• Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Dynamics, Opinion Representation, Influence Process
