International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling and Prediction

描述（由申请人提供）：社会计算和行为建模的研究旨在更好地理解社会互动，复杂行为，上下文模式和相关的感兴趣的结果。由于应对健康、文化和社会挑战所需的专业知识具有跨学科性质，该领域的最新技术越来越依赖于跨学科努力。社会计算，行为-文化建模和预测 *（SBP）会议是一个平台，汇集了来自这个快速发展的研究领域的各种学科的研究人员，以互动，讨论和传播对其进展至关重要的研究问题，并鼓励对其稳定发展和健康发展至关重要的新合作。在过去三年（SBP 08，SBP 09和SBP 10）的成功基础上，我们（指导委员会在咨询委员会的指导下）计划继续每年组织SBP会议，并使其成为健康，文化和社会研究融合的首要事件。资助该项目将为2011年至2014年每年的会议提供一般性支持，并为研究生和初级研究人员提供旅行奖励，否则他们可能无法参加SBP。* 以前称为社会计算，行为建模和预测

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research in social computing and behavioral modeling is designed to achieve a better understanding of social interactions, complex behaviors, contextual patterns, and associated outcomes of interest. The state-of-the-art in this field is increasingly dependent on interdisciplinary efforts due to the cross disciplinary nature of expertise required to address challenges arising from health, culture, and society. The Social Computing, Behavioral- Cultural Modeling, and Prediction* (SBP) conference is a platform for bringing together researchers from a wide variety of disciplines in this rapidly developing area of research to interact, discuss and disseminate on research issues that are central to its progress and to encourage new collaborations that are essential to its steady development and healthy evolution. Based on the success of its previous editions in the last three years (SBP08, SBP09, and SBP10), we (the steering committee with the guidance of the advisory committee) plan to continue organizing the SBP conference yearly and make it a premier event in the confluence of health, cultural, and social research. Funding this project will provide general support for the conference annually from 2011 to 2014 as well as provide travel awards to graduate students and junior researchers who otherwise might not be able to participate SBP. *Formerly known as Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction
