2015 IEEE Globecom Workshop on Social Collaborative Internet (SCI-2015),
6-10, December 2015/San Diego, CA USA Call for Papers

 

MOTIVATION AND SCOPE

Beyond a platform for casual social interaction and for marketing research
and broadcasting, social networks are also rapidly becoming a powerful tool
for collaboration, innovation, coordination and problem solving. Social
networks are now used to report crimes to law enforcement agencies, monitor
health epidemics, issue community warnings and, lately, also to connect
devices in a social network-based Internet of Things. We refer to the
augmented use of social networks for collaboration between people, as well
as between machines, as the Social Collaborative Internet.

This international workshop on Social Collaborative Internet (SCI-2015)
focuses on the crossroads between scientists, researchers, industry
practitioners and students from diverse domains in social networking,
communications and the Internet of Things. Its purpose is to attract novel
contributions on the analysis, design, modeling, implementation and
evaluation of technologies that can support the Social Collaborative
Internet. The workshop will focus on the following (not limited) issues:

-       How to effectively utilize and evaluate social network and media
data for public safety and emergency response?

-       Visualization and analytics techniques for social network and
collaboration data.

-       How will the introduction of machine-to-machine communication in
social networking affect security and privacy?

-       Performance, effectiveness and efficiency of collaboration through
social networks.

-       Applications of social networks for supporting personalized
information and improvement of quality of life (i.e. e-health, e-gov).

-       Extension of the social network concept, to include non-human
participation (i.e. socially inspired paradigm for machine to machine
communication).

-       Prototyping and standardization of interaction over social networks,
(i.e. use of terminology, mapping to standards).

-       Convergence of Internet of things and Social networks towards a
Social Internet of Things.

major areas, including, but not limited to:

-       Social network collaboration paradigms

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors are required to submit fully formatted, original papers (PDF), with
graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for the final
publication. Authors are required to submit fully formatted, original papers
(PDF), with graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for
the final publication, not submitted to any other conference/workshop at the
same time. All final submissions should be written in English with a maximum
paper length of six (6) printed pages (10 -point font) including figures
without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with
over length page charge of USD100 if accepted). Papers exceeding 7 pages
will not be accepted at EDAS. Only timely submissions through EDAS will be
accepted for review. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX formats
are found at here: http://ieee.org/conferences_event 

 

You may also use one of the following templates for Microsoft Word: A4, US
letter. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all
submissions must be done through EDAS.

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 Conference
Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, an author of
an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop at the FULL
(member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of
that paper at the workshop unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a
substitute presenter in advance of the event and who is qualified both to
present and answer questions. Non- refundable registration fees must be paid
prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication- ready version of
the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one FULL or LIMITED
registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will
be published in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 Conference Proceedings and submitted
to IEEE Xplore(r).
