The 2015 Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, and Prediction (SBP) conference will be held in Washington DC from March 31- April 3, 2015. The primary objectives are to provide an international platform for collaborative and exploratory research for a synergistic advancement of the emerging field of social computing. Social computing and behavioral modeling lie at the intersection of various disciplines, from computing and linguistics to the social sciences, economics and medicine. SBP is a highly interdisciplinary conference offering a rare and exciting opportunity for behavioral and social science researchers to come together with computational and computer scientists and other related disciplines. Through reaching out to students from diverse backgrounds, the travel grants supported by this award will broaden the base of interdisciplinary research involving computer science; students from many of these disciplines are less likely to have other travel support options than computer scientists. Past travel awards to SBP have been effective in attracting applicants from groups underrepresented in Computer Science. Through paper and poster presentations, interdisciplinary tutorials, keynote presentations, technical challenge problems and cross-fertilization round table sessions involving researchers and program staff from federal agencies, the conference aims to offer training, professional development, and community building opportunities.

2015年社会计算，行为文化建模和预测（SBP）会议将于2015年3月31日至4月3日在华盛顿举行。其主要目标是提供一个合作和探索性研究的国际平台，以协同推进社会计算的新兴领域。社会计算和行为建模处于各种学科的交叉点，从计算和语言学到社会科学，经济学和医学。 SBP是一个高度跨学科的会议，为行为和社会科学研究人员提供了一个难得的和令人兴奋的机会，让他们与计算和计算机科学家以及其他相关学科走到一起。通过接触来自不同背景的学生，该奖项支持的旅行赠款将扩大涉及计算机科学的跨学科研究的基础;来自许多这些学科的学生不太可能比计算机科学家有其他旅行支持选择。 SBP过去的旅行奖励有效地吸引了计算机科学代表性不足的群体的申请人。 通过论文和海报演示，跨学科教程，主题演讲，技术挑战问题和交叉施肥圆桌会议，涉及来自联邦机构的研究人员和项目人员，会议旨在提供培训，专业发展和社区建设的机会。
