In addition to keynote speakers and paper sessions, the conference will also include a series of training opportunities and tutorials. Please see the call for tutorials below. =================================================== SUBMIT YOUR RESEARCH! (CALL FOR PAPERS / ABSTRACTS) ==================================================== We welcome submissions on any topic in the intersection of the social sciences and the computer sciences, including (a) new approaches for understanding social phenomena, (b) improving methods for computational social science, (c) and improving conditions for computational social science research. But we are especially interested in: • Methods and analyses of integrated human-machine decision-making • Text analysis and natural language processing of social phenomena • Network analysis of social systems • Large-scale social experiments and/or phenomena • Causal inference and computational methods for social science • Methods and analyses of algorithmic accountability • Building and evaluating socio-technical systems • Novel digital data and/or computational analyses for addressing societal challenges • Methods and analyses of biased, selective, or incomplete observational social data • Methodological integration and triangulation of social data • Social news curation and collaborative filtering • Methods and analyses for social information / digital communication dynamics • Ethics of computational research on human behavior • Reproducibility in computational social science research • Infrastructure to facilitate industry/academic cooperation in computational social science • Computational social science research in industry • Science and technology studies approaches to computational science work • Practical problems in computational social science • Issues of inclusivity in computational social science • All other topics in computational social science Researchers across disciplines, faculty, graduate students, industry researchers, policy makers, and non-profit workers are all encouraged to submit computational data-driven research and innovative computational methodological or theoretical contributions on social phenomena for consideration. ----------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES (PAPERS) ----------------------------- Deadline for abstract submission: 01 March 2017 Notification of acceptance: 13 April 2017 Conference dates: 10-13 July 2016 ------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES (PAPERS) ------------------------------------ Contributions to the conference should be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2s22017 The submission should include a list of authors and their affiliations, with a minimum of one designated corresponding author, a title, an abstract summary paragraph, a list of 5 keywords, and an extended abstract with at least one figure, formatted as a PDF file no larger than 20MB. Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work and your methods so we can adequately assess its relevance. Each extended abstract will be reviewed by a Program Committee composed of experts in computational social science. Please follow the abstract template guidelines for formatting and note that abstracts longer than 3 pages will be automatically rejected. For additional information, see the conference website which also includes the Extended Abstract Template (.docx). The deadline for submission is 01 March 2017. Notice of acceptance will be 13 April 2017. We will do our best to have mostly oral presentations of the selected contributions, both plenary and in parallel sessions. However, since we cannot estimate the number of submissions we may accept some abstracts for a poster session. ============================================================== CALL FOR TUTORIALS ============================================================== We welcome proposals for tutorials on topics at the intersection of the social sciences, computer science and/or statistics. We will consider any topic; provided that the proposal makes a strong argument that the tutorial is important for the IC2S2 community. Tutorials should be of interest to a substantial portion the community and should represent a sufficiently mature area of research or practice. Tutorials should be comprehensive and should not focus only on the presenter’s previous work. We anticipate that each accepted tutorial will be 3 hours long. However, we are also accepting half-tutorials (1.5 hours) and full-day tutorials (6 hours). ----------------------------- PROPOSAL FORMAT ----------------------------- Proposals should provide the following information: • Title • Abstract (up to 250 words) • Description and outline: What material will the tutorial cover? In what depth? Please provide a detailed outline. If available, please include URLs for slides and video recordings of the presenters' previous tutorials. • Presenters: Who are the presenters? Please provide names, affiliations, email addresses, and short bios (up to 200 words) for each presenter. Bios should cover the presenters' expertise related to the topic of the tutorial. If there are multiple presenters, please describe how the time will be divided between them. • Rationale: What are the objectives of the tutorial? What is the benefit for the attendees? Why is this tutorial important for IC2S2 community? • Target audience: What is the target audience? From which areas do you expect potential participants to come? What prior knowledge, if any, do you expect from the audience? How many attendees do you expect? • A list of the most important references that will be covered. • Previous tutorials: Has the tutorial (or a similar/highly related tutorial) been presented at another venue previously? If so, please list the dates and venues, and describe the similarities and differences between the previous tutorials and proposed tutorial. • Proposed length of the tutorial: please choose from 1.5 hours (half session), 3 hours (full session), and 6 hours (full day). If you are flexible, please indicate in the outline the content that will not be included if a short/long version of the tutorial is given. If you would like to give a 6 hour tutorial please justify why a full day is necessary. ----------------------------- SUBMISSION (TUTORIALS) ----------------------------- Please send your proposals to: ic2s2tutorialchairs(a)gmail.com<mailto:ic2s2tutorialchairs@gmail.com> ----------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES (TUTORIALS) ----------------------------- Tutorial proposals due: 10 March 2017 Notifications: 17 March 2017 ================================================ ORGANIZERS ================================================ ------------------------------ CONFERENCE CHAIRS ------------------------------ Markus Strohmaier, GESIS & University of Koblenz-Landau Dirk Brockmann, Humboldt University Berlin Noshir Contractor, Northwestern University Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University ------------------------------ PROGRAM CHAIRS ------------------------------ Aaron Clauset, University of Colorado Boulder Sandra González-Bailón, University of Pennsylvania Brian Keegan, University of Colorado Boulder Katrin Weller, GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences ------------------------------ TUTORIAL CHAIRS ------------------------------ Ceren Budak, University of Michigan Jürgen Pfeffer, Technical University of Munich Derek Ruths, McGill University ------------------------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ------------------------------ Markus Strohmaier, GESIS & University of Koblenz-Landau Dirk Brockmann, Humboldt University Berlin Noshir Contractor, Northwestern University Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University Matthew O.
