Call for Papers ICWSM 2011
Fifth International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM-11)
July 17-21 2011 * Barcelona, Spain

Collocated with IJCAI-11

Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

ICWSM 2011, will be held on July 17-21, 2011 in Barcelona (Spain) and will
be collocated with IJCAI 2011. The International Conference on Weblogs and
Social Media is a unique forum that brings together researchers from the
disciplines in computer science, linguistics, communication, and the social
sciences. The broad goal of ICWSM is to increase understanding of social
media in all its incarnations. Submissions describing research that blends
social science and technology are especially encouraged.

Though this conference is relatively new, it has become one of the premier
venues for social scientists and technologists to gather and discuss
cutting-edge research in Social Media. This is largely due to a typical
acceptance rate of 20% for full-length research papers and support from
Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).

For ICWSM 2011, in addition to the usual program of contributed technical
talks, tutorials and invited presentations, the main conference will include
a selection of keynote talks from prominent social scientists and
technologists. This year, for the first time, we will be expanding our
workshop program and are planning an additional workshop day in addition to
the usual tutorial and main conference. We have a received a number of
exciting workshop proposals already and are looking forward to receiving
many more. Also, since we will be collocating with IJCAI (for more details
on IJCAI 2011 see http://ijcai-11.iiia.csic.es/) there will be opportunities
to connect with people in that community both formally and informally (a
joint social event is in the planning!).
