The area of Social Computing encompasses a large variety of 
approaches to study social behaviour and social context by 
computational means. It also includes methods to design 
technologies for gathering, representation, processing and 
dissemination of information in social systems. With the rapid 
development of information and communication technologies, 
the complexity and diversity of social structures and dynamics 
have been increasing significantly. To analyse existing and 
prospective social systems and to support their actors, 
multi-disciplinary approaches and tools are required that 
account for the (high) complexity and heterogeneity of social 
context. As has been demonstrated by many studies, the agent 
paradigm provides a promising basis for such approaches and 
applications. This interdisciplinary special session provides 
a platform for researchers and practitioners from computer 
science, social and behavioural science, psychology, information 
systems to exchange ideas and results on various aspects of agent 
enabled social computing. Papers are solicited both on theories 
and applications.

==Submissions==

The papers will be reviewed by KES AMSTA International 
Program Committee. The best submissions will be selected for 
presentation and will be included in the symposium proceedings. 
The papers should present original and unpublished research. 

The symposium proceedings are planned to be published and 
distributed by Springer Verlag in series LNCS/LNAI. Papers 
should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should be limited 
to 10 pages. All submissions must be sent electronically using 
the PROSE software review system. More information can be found at:
http://amsta-10.kesinternational.org/submission.php

A selected number of accepted and personally presented papers 
will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in special 
issues in the several prestigious international journals.
