by Weller, Katrin 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Call for Tutorials: IC2S2 2019 - International Conference on Computational Social Science in Amsterdam, NL. Submission deadline Jan 24. https://2019.ic2s2.org/ -------------------------- ABOUT IC2S2 -------------------------- The International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC2S2) brings together researchers in computational science, complexity, and social science, and provides a platform for new work in the field of computational social science. IC2S2 will take place in Amsterdam, NL. The conference is preceded by one day of tutorials on July 17. January 24, 2019 – Tutorial proposal deadline February 5, 2019 – Regular abstract submission deadline March 6, 2019 – Acceptance notification July 17-20, 2019 – Conference including tutorial day (July 17). -------------------------- TUTORIAL PROPOSALS -------------------------- On the pre-conference day (July 17, 2019), IC2S2 will host a day of tutorials and skills workshops. They should give social science researchers and data analyst enthusiasts the opportunity to add new tools to their toolkit. For this we are calling for proposals of tutorials that address methods, skills and tools useful to conduct research in computational social science, including but not limited to the following topics: - data collection / text mining approaches for social scientists - new advances in social network analysis - text analysis - visual communication and visualizations - experimental designs in CSS - using sensors for studying behavior - combining digital trace data and additional data (e.g. surveys) - assessing biases in data collection - best practices for working with online communities (including crowdsourcing) - legal and ethical dimensions of CSS research - reproducibility in CSS research We particularly invite proposals for “disciplinary state of the art sessions” that give a focused overview on the latest developments, trends and perspectives in a specific discipline or research area. These should help researchers in the interdisciplinary field of CSS to catch up with developments in areas outside their core expertise. We also welcome proposals for tutorials on any other 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). -------------------------- SUBMISSION FORMAT -------------------------- Proposals for tutorials should be no more than three pages in length and should contain the following: - Title - Presenters / organizers: 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. - Topic: An abstract describing the topic (approx. 250 words) - Audience: A short statement about the expected target audience. What prior knowledge, if any, do you expect from the audience? - Rationale: What is the objective / learning outcome of the tutorial? What is the benefit for the attendees? Why is this tutorial important for IC2S2 community? - Format: A description of the proposed event format and a list of proposed activities - Equipment: A short note on equipment required for the tutorial format (e.g. whiteboards). - 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. Organizers of accepted tutorials are expected to provide some information material to announce the tutorial on the conference website and to help spreading the word about the tutorial via mailing lists and social media. Tutorial organizers will receive free admission to the main conference and all its activities. -------------------------- HOW TO SUBMIT -------------------------- Deadline: January 24, 2019 Please submit your proposal as PDF file via email to ic2s2(a)uva.nl --------------------------- Looking forward to your proposals!
