networks, communities and teams
- Studies of political discourse and spread of opinions, attitudes and
information on the web
- Studies of cultures and conflicts, segregation, discrimination,
prejudice via new kinds of data
- Social-/Computational aspects of health, life style, sports and diet
- Social-/Computational aspects of human movement, mobility and urban
planning
- Mixed methods and techniques (e.g. obtrusive/unobtrusive methods)
- Methods to deal with biased, selective and incomplete observational
data on the Web
- Tools that detect and prevent mobbing or depressive behavior online
- Tools that support social scientists to capture, store and analyze
social data on the Web
- Methods for the design and execution of online experiments for the
social sciences
Other related topics are explicitly welcome.
---------------------------
PRESENTATION FORMATS
---------------------------
Based on the submitted abstracts, submissions may be accepted as posters
and/or short presentations. The standard format will be a poster
presentation. As this is a single track conference, only few submissions
can be selected for short plenary presentations of approx. 10-15 minutes.
---------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------------
Submissions should be 1-2 page abstracts (up to approx. 1000 words)
summarizing the work to be presented. We encourage researchers to also
submit mature work that has already been published and/or submit
work-in-progress. Accepted submissions will be non-archival, i.e. there
are no proceedings. We may however discuss options for publishing
selected submissions after the conference (e.g. as a journal special
issue or edited collection).
Submissions will mostly be evaluated based on relevance and the
potential to stimulate interesting discussions.
Authors are kindly requested to submit a PDF file via the easychair
submission system for the event:

ORGANIZATION AND VENUE
----------------------------
The CSS Winter Symposium will take place at the heart of Cologne, at
KOMED Im MediaPark 7.

EUR). More information will be made available soon.
Paper/poster submission is not a requirement for attendance. PLEASE
NOTE: Unfortunately we cannot take responsibility for support on visa
related issues.
