The International Conference 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 is the third event in a series on this topic and it has developed into an international conference. The conference provides a common ground for emerging research topics in the area. This conference will create awareness among the community about the uses of such research to various areas and will result in a proceedings published as a book by Springer.

社会计算、行为建模和预测国际会议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交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状况的相互了解，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。几年来，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一部分。这是有关该主题的系列活动中的第三次活动，它已发展成为一次国际会议。该会议为该领域的新兴研究主题提供了共同基础。这次会议将提高社区对此类研究在各个领域的应用的认识，并将形成会议记录，并由 Springer 出版为一本书。
