社会科学研究人类和社会的动力学和组织在各个层次的分析（一致性），包括认知，决策，行为，群体，组织，社会和世界体系。计算社会科学是对社会调查的综合，跨学科的追求，重点是信息处理和通过先进的计算媒介。主要的计算社会科学领域是自动信息提取系统，社会网络分析，社会地理信息系统（GIS），复杂性建模和社会模拟模型。就像伽利略利用望远镜作为观察和获得对物理宇宙更深入、更真实的理解的关键工具一样，计算社会科学家正在学习利用先进的、越来越强大的计算工具，超越传统学科分析的可见光谱。(C)John Wiley & Sons，Inc.
The social sciences investigate human and social dynamics and organization at all levels of analysis (consilience), including cognition, decision making, behavior, groups, organizations, societies, and the world system. Computational social science is the integrated, interdisciplinary pursuit of social inquiry with emphasis on information processing and through the medium of advanced computation. The main computational social science areas are automated information extraction systems, social network analysis, social geographic information systems (GIS), complexity modeling, and social simulation models. Just like Galileo exploited the telescope as the key instrument for observing and gaining a deeper and empirically truthful understanding of the physical universe, computational social scientists are learning to exploit the advanced and increasingly powerful instruments of computation to see beyond the visible spectrum of more traditional disciplinary analyses.
