Workshop
7th International Workshop on Social Media World Sensors - SIDEWAYS 2021

26 - 28 October, 2021

In conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies - WEBIST 2021


CHAIR

SCOPE

Nowadays Social media platforms represent freely-accessible information networks allowing registered and unregistered members to read, share and broadcast posts, different in format and size, referring to a potentially-unlimited range of topics, by also exploiting the immediateness of handy smart devices.

This workshop wants to stress the vision of these powerful communication channels as social sensors, where each user reacts in real time to the underlying reality by providing her own interpretation of the reality that needs to be analysed, understood and interpreted.

Technologies on this connectivity may also provide automatic or semi-automatic applications for information detection and integration, offering a sideway to the existing authoritative information media and the information reported by the surrounding community.

  • Social Media as Social Sensors
