CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE BigData2017 Workshop

The 2nd International Workshop on Application of Big Data for Computational Social Science 2017

Dec. 11-14, 2017

Boston, MA, USA

*****************************************

SUBMISSIONS DUE: Sep. 30, 2017

*****************************************

Contemporary social sciences are facing a serious paradigm shift because of the developments in computer and Internet technologies, though traditional social sciences are still very important. Big data, such as digital traces of online activities and mobility records, allows us to quantify human behavior and social phenomena at a fine-grained level, yet it is global in scale, thereby complementing experimental data and theoretical and computational simulation results. In some cases, we can even employ the methods of natural sciences, including physics, chemistry or biology, in order to analyze big data. From this perspective, we will organize the workshop of “applications of big data for computational social science.”

RESEARCH TOPICS

- Application of sociology/sociophysics using big data

- Application of econometric/econophysics using big data

- Social media data analyses from economic/political/social perspective

- Informatics using social big data

- Marketing science using social big data

- Business analytics using big data on consumer behavior

- Culturomics and art management

- Analysis of reputation of entertainment using big data
