An updated announcement - note the submission deadline has been changed
to Nov. 15.
The 2010 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral
Modeling, & Prediction (SBP10), the largest conference devoted to social
science-related research in computer science, will be held March
29-April 1 on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Campus in
Bethesda, MD near Washington D.C. I am co-program chair this year, and
am particularly interested in gaining the participation of more social
scientists in order to make this a fully interdisciplinary conference.
This year, we will be featuring some unique events designed to promote
that interchange. The first day will be devoted to tutorial sessions,
including those on computer science methods for social scientists and
vice versa. Tutorials tentatively scheduled include introductions to
principles of agent-based simulation; comparisons of network models in
sociology, physics, and economics; and application of computational
behavioral models to public health. If you have a proposal for a
tutorial, particularly one introducing methods from the mathematical
social sciences to outsiders, please send a brief description directly
to me at <[log in to unmask]> by November 15.
The last half-day will be devoted to informal round tables to bring
together social and computer scientists for intellectual
cross-fertilization, as well as for forming interdisciplinary,
interuniversity teams that could work together on grant applications. I
welcome suggestions for topics to be covered at these roundtables.
Short papers (approx 6-10 pages) and poster submissions are due November
15. As in past years, there will be opportunities to hear presentations
from and talk to representatives of the largest federal funding agencies
for scholarly research, including the National Science Foundation,
National Institutes of Health, Office of Naval Research, and Air Force
Office of Scientific Research. Conference papers will be published as a
book in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series by
Springer/Verlag. More information, including the call for papers and
previous years's programs, can be found at the conference website
<http://sbp.asu.edu/>. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me.
Thanks,
Sun-Ki
