[Sociam-soton] Re: WWW2016

Thu Sep 17 15:27:19 BST 2015

7 papers were accepted (I think we accepted all submissions). I’m not sure on the number of attendees, but the room was very full, at a guess, around 40 people.

I left some comments in the document. The biggest thing is getting information at last year’s workshop (number of papers submitted, number accepted, number of attendees, etc). That’s the only information I don’t have.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,

What else needs to be done for the workshop proposal? I can spend some time today/evening to take a look at it.

Thanks to David, I’ve added the content from last years proposal. Found here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cRkroKmwT2Da11tKiUv_cnD7IDfnIZ6401y9ptexZSM/edit?usp=sharing)
Still need information on last years workshops (attendance, number of papers received, number admitted, etc).

I’d also like to add in a new theme that would help engage scholars outside the CS community. Something that would focus on the “Theory” and not just “Practice” of social machines. What are the political/economic/social/legal implications of social machines (both realized and in the future). Are social machines always a “social good”? Is there a dark side to social machine (digital witch hunts, the Anonymous group, etc) ? Do social machines make computers more social, or people more like machines? What are the ethics of social machines, and social machine research? How would we view social machines through other philosophical lenses and ideologies (Critical, Feminist, Post-Colonialist, Pragmatic, Interpretivist, etc)?

As stated before, the workshop proposal is due this Thursday. I’ll continue making edits. All comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Dominic

We proposing a workshop that covers both. We did this at WWW in Florence, so I was assuming we would use some variant of the words we used last year

Just a clarification. Are we proposing a Web Observatory workshop, a SOCIAM workshop, or both for WWW. I’ll get started on a draft of which (or both) by tonight to pass around.
Thanks!

I can help generate a draft for a proposal. If I can get access to the
last year’s, which I believe should be in the sociam google folder.
Thanks,

I'm with Thanassis in Athens this week. We might be able to put
something together for comment (based on last year's proposal)

Enjoy Durban. I'm on my way to Heathrow to fly to Athens

Hi - I'd  support that, for continuity of the workshop series. Bearing
in mind Web Sci is a full track I still think there is room for social
machines and Web observatories.

Am on my way to Durban for a social science conference then straight
back for meetings Wed-Thu. I can probably comment but not generate a
proposal.

As I'm chairing the website track you might not want me as a workshop
chair as that might weaken the case, if I look greedy/overloaded (?) Kev
might be able to help, though I know he was also thinking about a music
one when I saw him last Tuesday.

I'll  be online from Durban tonight...

Thanks

Dear all

Just spotted that the workshop deadline for WWW2016 is September 17th
(Thursday)

Do we want to submit as last year? Ramine mentioned this to me before
he went on holiday but I dithered.

Thoughts?

No idea which email to use for Nigel at the moment. Susan isn't back
until Thursday.
