The deadline for the Special Issue on Social Media for the German Journal of Artificial Intelligence (Kuenstliche Intelligenz)<\/a> is coming up. We invite you to submit your article by the FEBRUARY 6, 2012<\/strong> deadline. It will be published later this year by Springer.<\/p>\n

The Theme of the Special Issue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social Media has led to radical paradigm shifts in the ways we communicate, collaborate, consume,\u00a0 and create information. Technology allows virtually anyone to disseminate information to a global\u00a0 audience almost instantaneously. Information published by peers in the form of Tweets, blog posts,\u00a0 or Web documents through online social networking services has proliferated on an unprecedented\u00a0 scale, contributing to an exponentially growing data deluge. A new level of connectedness among\u00a0 peers adds new ways for the consumption of (traditional) media. We are witnessing new forms of\u00a0 collaboration, including the phenomenon of an emergent \u2018collective intelligence\u2019. This intelligence of\u00a0 crowds can be harnessed in myriad ways, ranging from outsourcing simple, repetitive tasks on\u00a0 Amazon Mechanical Turk, to solving complex challenges such as proving a mathematical theorem\u00a0 creatively and collaboratively.<\/p>\n

This call for papers welcomes contributions showing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How to make sense of Social Media data, i.e. how to condense, distill, or integrate highly\u00a0 decentralized and dispersed data resulting from human communication, including sensor-\u00ad\u2010collected\u00a0 data to a meaningful entity or information service, or<\/li>\n
  2. How Social Media contributes to innovation, collaboration, and collective intelligence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We invite papers covering all aspects of Social Media analysis including Social Media in Business\u00a0 (especially for Marketing, Innovation, and Collaboration), Entertainment (especially Social News,\u00a0 Social Music Services, Social TV, and Social Network Games), as well as Art (e.g. City Installations).\u00a0 Applications of Social Media in art may be understood as a playing field for translating highly\u00a0 decentralized \u2018social data\u2019 into centralized forms of artful expression, thus furthering our intuitive\u00a0 understanding of these complex emergent phenomena.<\/p>\n

    List of topics<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The list of topics mentioned below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Insightful artifacts and\u00a0 methods as well as analytical, conceptual, empirical, and theoretical approaches (using any kind of\u00a0 research method, including experiments, primary data from social media logs, case studies,\u00a0 simulations, surveys, and so on) are within the scope. Practical project descriptions and innovative\u00a0 software are also of high interest to the readers of KI.<\/p>\n
