Social computing is an area of computer science that is concerned with the intersection of social behavior and computational systems. Social computing can have a tremendous impact in the business world and can significantly affect society, and outline possible changes in organized human action that could be brought about. Social computing can also have negative effects associated with it, including security issues. Social computing should be a priority for researchers and business leaders and illustrate the fundamental shifts in communication, computing, collaboration, and commerce brought about by this trend.

Social computing is the collaborative and interactive aspect of online behavior. The term can be understood in contrast to personal computing, which describes the behavior of isolated users.

Blogs, wikis, Twitter, RSS, instant messaging, multiplayer gaming and open source development, as well as social networking and social bookmarking sites are some elements of social computing. Social computing is closely related to the concept of Web 2.0, which can be thought of as the framework of applications supporting the processes of social computing.

The Annual International Conference on Social Computing and Behavioral Modeling (SocialComp) aims at providing opportunities for academics, researchers, experienced professionals and business people to share their research in the area of Social Computing with the world.
