CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************************************************

The Web was conceptualized as a data-sharing service. It has since
evolved into a platform for conducting business transactions. Today,
we are witnessing it evolve again into a social platform, where
autonomous actors -- humans, organizations, and their software
surrogates -- engage each other in social interactions (business,
personal, or otherwise).

In short, we are moving away from a data-centric model of the Web into an interaction-centric one. The evolution so far has been largely ad hoc. This workshop is intended to serve as venue for sharing ideas and on-going research that will facilitate a systematic investigation of the semantic foundations of social computing. Requirements Engineering (RE) offers an ideal place to start this investigation as it has traditionally emphasized the roles of actors and stakeholders, as well as the relationships among them.

We invite pertinent contributions on
- Modeling of business and social interactions among actors
- Social relationships among actors including trust, commitments,
and contracts
- Social platforms and middleware that supports interaction among
actors
- Reasoning about actor requirements in social settings
- Adaptation in response to social threats and opportunities in
social settings
- Social incentive mechanisms
- Requirements for awareness and identity management
- Applications of social software in areas such as ehealth, ecommerce,
sociotechnical systems, virtual organizations, supply chain networks,
social networks, and social cloud

We invite ***short contributions*** (maximum of four pages in the IEEE
proceedings format http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting)
that should either stake a position or report on on-going research.
Contributions will be reviewed by members of the programme committee.
