fields and attracted significant interest from not only researchers in
computing and social sciences, but also software and online game
vendors, web entrepreneurs, political analysts, digital government
practitioners. The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Social
Computing provides a key forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the
state of art and practice of social computing.
