【Track Call for Papers】
Social Computing Track, Trust in Social Computing Mini-Track
Track Description
As the quantity of data captured about and shared by individuals has exploded over the last decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in information technologies – such as social networking platforms, collaborative filtering and reputation management systems – that facilitate social interaction among individuals. With the recognition that Social Computing straddles research at the intersection of social behavior and computing technologies, we would like to encourage papers that approach this topic from a plurality of research methods and perspectives. This track welcomes submissions that explore how these Social Computing technologies have transformed how people work, communicate, and play together.
Trust in Social Computing Mini-Track
In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in internet penetration and people's digital presence. As the internet is becoming increasingly accessible, the online-driven lifestyle, such as social computing is having a far-reaching effect on mass consumer behaviour, resulting in a digital consumption surge.
In whatever cultural background and market environment and to whatever stage social computing develops, building, maintaining and enhancing social computing trust is always a primary issue for social computing's development. The trust-building mechanism of social computing is helpful for one party in the relationship to confirm that the other party will not do harm to the first by virtue of its information advantage, thereby effectively facilitating the smooth social interaction. As a result, analysis of major factors that shape trust in the social computing environment and study of the online trust-building mechanism become an important task in the development process of social computing.
The purpose of this mini-track is to discuss the impact of trust on social computing in terms of customer, enterprise, and social perspectives. We look for submission that cover but are not limited to:
- Trust in social computing
- Trust in social networking service
- Trust in unfamiliar enterprises
- Trust and trust management in O2O environment
- Trust in social shopping
- Sentiment analysis in social media for trust issues
- Social innovation and the trust relationship
- Impact and influence of fake news in social media
- Trust of fintech on social media platforms
