To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2012 delegates photos available at: http://infinitydempsey.smugmug.com/WorldComp An important mission of The Congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS: As of December 2012, papers published in the conference proceedings that are currently being held as part of WORLDCOMP, have received over 27,000 citations (includes about 2,000 self-citations).

Thanks. ==================================================================================== BSI2013: Call for Papers (Due on January 06, 2013) ==================================================================================== The 2013 International Workshop on Behavior and Social Informatics (BSI2013) URL: bsi2013.behaviorinformatics.org <http://bsi2013.behaviorinformatics.org> Submission System: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bsi2013 Held in conjunction with The 2013 Pacific-Asia Conference on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (PAKDD2013) URL: http://pakdd2013.pakdd.org/ ==================================================================================== ========================== Important Dates ========================== Paper Submission Deadline: January 06,2013 Author Notification: January 31,2013 Camera-Ready Deadline: February 15, 2013 ========================== Workshop Scope ========================== Behavior and social science are increasingly recognized as a key component in business intelligence and problem-solving. Behavior and Social Informatics (BSI) has been emerged as a new scientific field that studies effective methodologies, techniques and technical tools for representing, modeling, analyzing, understanding and managing human behaviors and social characteristics. Unlike traditional behavior and social science, which mainly focuses on qualitative and explicit behavior and social appearance and drivers, BSI intends to support explicit behavioral and societal involvement through a conversion from transactional entity spaces to behavior/social feature spaces, through a better understanding of interactions between users and computing systems and better modeling of social concepts like trust, credibility, privacy, and, and influence, further genuine analysis of native behavior/social patterns and impacts, and the facilitation of deployment of information technologies in various socially-centric application domains. A typical BSI process consists of key components including behavior/social modeling and representation, behavior/social data construction, behavior/social impact modeling, behavior/social pattern analysis and utilization, and behavior/social interplay with information technologies. Some popular examples of BSI include web usage and user preference analysis, collective intelligence and crowd behavior, credit evaluation, exceptional behavior analysis of terrorist and criminals, and trading pattern analysis of investors in capital markets. Recent years have witnessed increasing research attention on behavior/social-oriented analyses including behavioral and social interaction and network, behavioral/social patterns, behavioral/social impacts, the formation of behavioral/social-oriented groups and collective intelligence, and behavioral/social intelligence emergence. This trend raises the need for launching the International Workshop on Behavior and Social Informatics (BSI).BSI’2013 aims to increase potential collaborations and partnerships by bringing together academic researchers and industry practitioners from data mining, statistics and analytics, business and marketing, finance and politics, and behavioral, social and psychological sciences with the objectives to present updated research efforts and progresses on foundational and emerging interdisciplinary topics of BSI, exchange new ideas and identify future research directions.
