ABOUT SBP
This year’s SBP conference is the result of merging two successful
international conferences on closely related subjects:
the International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling,
and Prediction (SBP)
the International Conference on Computational Cultural Dynamics (ICCCD)
The combined conference retains the acronym SBP, with “Behavioral”
replaced by “Behavioral-Cultural”.
Social computing harnesses the power of computational methods to study
social behavior and social context. Behavioral-cultural modeling
refers to representing behavior and culture in the abstract, and is a
convenient and powerful way to conduct virtual experiments and
scenario planning. Both social computing and behavioral-cultural
modeling are techniques designed to achieve a better understanding of
complex behaviors, patterns, and associated outcomes of interest.
Moreover, these approaches are inherently interdisciplinary;
subsystems and system components exist at multiple levels of analysis
(i.e., “cells to societies”) and cross disparate disciplines.
Call for Papers and Posters
Papers or posters are solicited on research issues, theories, and
applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to,
Military and security applications of SBP:
Group formation and evolution in the political context
Technology and flash crowds
Networks and political influence
Information diffusion
Group representation and profiling
Health applications of SBP:
Social network analysis to understand health behavior
Modeling of health policy and decision making
Modeling of behavioral aspects of infectious disease spread
Intervention design and modeling for behavioral health
Basic research on sociocultural and behavioral processes using SBP:
Group interaction and collaboration
Group formation and evolution
Group representation and profiling
Cultural patterns and representation
Social conventions and social contexts
Influence process and recognition
Public opinion representation
Viral marketing and information diffusion
Psycho-cultural situation awareness
Methodological issues in SBP:
Verification and validation
Sensitivity analysis
Matching technique or method to research questions
Metrics and evaluation
Methodological innovation
Model federation and integration
Limitations of and barriers to SBP
Research gaps and opportunities
