Workshop on 

Specification and Computation of Affect in Collaborative and Social NETworks
- SCACSNET'09

Thessaloniki, GREECE, 7-9 October 2009


http://www.seerc.org/events/scacsnet09/index.html 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Associated Workshop of the 10th IFIP Conference on Virtual Enterprises
(PRO-VE'09)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Modern technologies provide an immense collection of channels for various
types of communication and interaction: email, chat, SMS, web pages, wikis,
social networking applications, and many others. In addition, they allow
establishment of online groups and networks of people that can engage in
collaborative task accomplishment, social interactions, education, game
playing, business interactions etc. With the emergence of Web 2.0, Affective
Computing and advanced HCI technologies the focus has been shifted towards
the "soft" aspects of computing, grasping the social relations, emotions,
mood and behaviour of people in the online environment, with the goal of
providing unobtrusive and efficient computer-mediation for human-human
interaction. 
In an effort to confront the development of the envisaged collaborative and
inclusive information society, this workshop aims to create synergy between
different scientific fields and application domains under a common
discussion umbrella, where novel ideas, technologies, methodologies and
pilot frameworks will be exchanged and   success stories will be shared.
