“Connecting and Sharing through the Web”

Description

Social aspects are an integral part of today’s Web, and the widespread use of the Web to connect, share and tap into collective knowledge provides a wealth of actionable data. The crowd can be deployed in various ways, i.e. the so-called crowdsourcing and human computation applications, and their generated data is valuable for developers, researchers and marketers alike. Successfully tapping into the crowd’s knowledge, and gathering, analysing, and visualizing complex, heterogeneous social data, and putting it to good use are major current challenges.

The aim of this track is to solicit contributions on all areas relevant for the social Web, including crowdsourcing and human computing engineering and applications, privacy & security, social data integration, interpretation, analysis, querying and visualisation, etc.

For paper categories, submission instructions and deadlines, please see the ICWE submission page.
