CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (ABSTRACTS)

==============================================================

IC2S2 2017 – 3rd International Conference on Computational Social Science

July 10-13, 2017

Cologne, Germany

#IC2S2

==============================================================

This international conference (now in its third edition) aims to bring 
together scientists from different disciplines and research areas to 
meet and discuss computational problems in the study of social systems 
and dynamics, as well as research questions motivated by large datasets, 
either extracted from real applications (e.g. social media, 
communication systems), or created via controlled experiments or 
computational models The goal of the conference is to create a broad and 
interdisciplinary community of researchers, including academics, tech 
industry workers, open data activists, government agency workers, and 
think tank analysts, who are committed to advancing social science 
knowledge through computational methods.

In addition to keynote speakers and paper sessions, the conference will 
also include a series of training opportunities and tutorials. Please 
watch for the call for tutorials.

We welcome submissions on any topic in the intersection of the social 
sciences and the computer sciences, including (a) new approaches for 
understanding social phenomena, (b) improving methods for computational 
social science, (c) and improving conditions for computational social 
science research. But we are especially interested in:

• Methods and analyses of integrated human-machine decision-making

• Text analysis and natural language processing of social phenomena

• Network analysis of social systems

• Large-scale social experiments and/or phenomena

• Causal inference and computational methods for social science

• Methods and analyses of algorithmic accountability

• Building and evaluating socio-technical systems

• Novel digital data and/or computational analyses for addressing 
societal challenges

• Methods and analyses of biased, selective, or incomplete observational 
social data

• Methodological integration and triangulation of social data

• Social news curation and collaborative filtering

• Methods and analyses for social information / digital communication 
dynamics

• Ethics of computational research on human behavior

• Reproducibility in computational social science research

• Infrastructure to facilitate industry/academic cooperation in 
computational social science

• Computational social science research in industry

• Science and technology studies approaches to computational science work

• Practical problems in computational social science

• Issues of inclusivity in computational social science

• All other topics in computational social science

Researchers across disciplines, faculty, graduate students, industry 
researchers, policy makers, and non-profit workers are all encouraged to 
submit computational data-driven research and innovative computational 
methodological or theoretical contributions on social phenomena for 
consideration.

IMPORTANT DATES

-----------------------------

Deadline for abstract submission: 01 March 2017

Notification of acceptance: 13 April 2017

Conference dates: 10-13 July 2016

------------------------------------

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

------------------------------------

Contributions to the conference should be submitted via EasyChair at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2s22017

The submission should include a list of authors and their affiliations, 
with a minimum of one designated corresponding author, a title, an 
abstract summary paragraph, a list of 5 keywords, and an extended 
abstract with at least one figure, formatted as a PDF file no larger 
than 20MB. Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work 
and your methods so we can adequately assess its relevance. Each 
extended abstract will be reviewed by a Program Committee composed of 
experts in computational social science. Please follow the abstract 
template guidelines for formatting and note that abstracts longer than 3 
pages will be automatically rejected.

For additional information, see the conference website which also 
includes the Extended Abstract Template (.docx).

The deadline for submission is 01 March 2017. Notice of acceptance will 
be 13 April 2017.

We will do our best to have mostly oral presentations of the selected 
contributions, both plenary and in parallel sessions. However, since we 
cannot estimate the number of submissions we may accept some abstracts 
for a poster session.
