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.
