The Workshop on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction provides an interdisciplinary platform to encourage researchers of traditionally disjoint fields such as sociology, psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, mathematics, computer science, religious studies, and engineering to exchange ideas and findings, enhance mutual understanding of state‐of‐the art development in individual fields, develop cross‐discipline awareness, promote collaborative research opportunities, and offer a conducive environment for graduate students. In the last few years, the emergence of the social web has had a profound influence on computing and on society. A pertinent example stems from social networks where individuals from various cultural and social backgrounds interact and exchange information. In such a scenario, it will be useful to understand the development of such social networks and the behavior of individuals who are part of such networks to gain insight into different cultures and patterns of social behavior that can form the basis for predictive models. The focus of this workshop is not only on applications pf social computing but also on the encompassing research from varied areas that can provide insight. Computer scientists are key members of this community of researchers but social scientists are integral as well. This workshop provides a training ground for budding researchers in the area. This workshop will create awareness among the community about the uses of such research to various areas. The workshop will be webcast to include people that are unable to attend, and will result in a proceedings published as a book by Springer.

社会计算、行为建模和预测研讨会提供了一个跨学科平台，鼓励社会学、心理学、行为科学、认知科学、数学、计算机科学、宗教研究和工程学等传统互不相关领域的研究人员交流想法和发现，增进对各个领域最新发展的相互了解，培养跨学科意识，促进合作研究机会，并为研究生提供有利的环境。在过去几年中，社交网络的出现对计算和社会产生了深远的影响。一个相关的例子源于社交网络，来自不同文化和社会背景的个人在其中互动和交换信息。在这种情况下，了解此类社交网络的发展以及属于此类网络的个人的行为将很有用，以深入了解不同的文化和社会行为模式，从而构成预测模型的基础。本次研讨会的重点不仅在于社交计算的应用，还在于可以提供见解的不同领域的包容性研究。计算机科学家是这个研究人员群体的关键成员，但社会科学家也是不可或缺的。该研讨会为该领域的新晋研究人员提供了培训场地。该研讨会将提高社区对此类研究在各个领域的用途的认识。该研讨会将通过网络直播，以涵盖无法参加的人员，并将由 Springer 将会议记录出版为一本书。
