    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.
    The proposed workshop will deal with novel research approaches,
concepts, technologies, applications and studies that address aspects of
social business computing that systematically engage constituent members
of the business ecosystem (employees, customers, partners and suppliers)
in ways that maximize co-created value for the ecosystem.
