Dimitris Apostolou and Yiannis Verginadis from PLAY are organising the 1st Workshop on Social Business Computing (SBComp 2012) in conjunction with BIS 2012 in Vilnius, Lithuania on May 21-23, 2012. Call for Papers Introduction to the Workshop: The social Web induces dramatic changes in how business is conducted. Business in recent years has changed dramatically compared to the pre-social Web environment. The social Web denotes the use of the Web technologies to interconnect people; it encompasses how websites and software are designed and developed in order to support and foster online social interactions. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter as well as collaborative tools such as wikis and blogs enable people and organizations to maintain a persistent relationship with each other. These new interaction possibilities are dictating dramatic changes in how companies run their business. In a hyper-connected global business environment, competition is more unpredictable and diverse; the social customer, employee, supplier, and partner each have a voice and the means to use his/her voice at scale.
