Track 12: Call for Paper

Social and community intelligence (SCI) defines a new paradigm that aims at revealing the individual/group behaviors, social interactions as well as community dynamics (e.g., city hot spots, traffic jams) by mining the digital traces left by people while interacting with cyber-physical spaces (e.g., taxi GPS data, Foursquare check-in data, mobile phone calling data). These digital traces are generated mainly from three information sources: Internet and Web applications, sensor networks, and mobile/wearable devices. The scale and richness of the multimodal, mixed data sources present us an opportunity to compile the digital footprints into a comprehensive picture of individual’s daily life facets, transform our understanding of our lives, organizations and societies, and enable completely innovative urban services for smartcities, including human health, public safety, city resource management, environment monitoring, and social interaction assistance. This track aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of challenges in the fields of SCI, including theoretical studies, practical issues, emerging technologies and applications.
