Workshop on Bridging Diverse Connections through Mobile Social Networking

Event Description

We attend in-person events but often forget who we met and where. We receive many contact requests in our online social networks like LinkedIn and Facebook from people we do not know. How can we make it easier for people to connect from offline to online? In this workshop, we will discuss:

• Cutting-edge research on connecting people through offline and online interactions and how technology facilitates these transitions

• Strategies for incorporating diversity into the development of mobile social networking applications

• Establish a multidisciplinary and diverse network in mobile social networking, involving experts from academia, industry, and Chicago's inclusive populations across computer science, sociology, and human-computer interaction

As part of the workshop, there will be a poster session, and students are encouraged to submit a poster title and abstract (see details below.) If accepted, the student is expected to present the poster in the poster session at the workshop in person.
