SBP-BRiMS 2024
17th International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation
September 18-20, 2024
Will be held in hybrid mode
(In-person in Pittsburgh, PA, USA)
The goal of this conference is to build a community of social cyber scholars by fostering interaction among members of the scientific, corporate, government and military communities interested in understanding, forecasting, and impacting human socio-cultural behavior in our quickly evolving social world of today. The conference values diverse disciplinary participation from the social, behavioral, physical, and computational sciences and welcomes a broad range of methodological approaches (agent-based models, online experiments, network science and social network analysis, and machine learning). All computational social science papers and panels are welcome. Some illustrative topics include:
• Social Cyber Security
• Trust in AI; Human-AI Interaction
• Blockchain and Privacy-Preserving Technologies
• Social Media Analytics and Network Science
• Online Collective Action, Social Movements, and Mob Dynamics
• Military in the Age of AI
• Cognition and Organization Theory
• Disinformation, Deepfakes, and Online Harms
• Applications (Healthcare, Economics, Government, Military, etc.)
BEST PAPER AWARDS:
All accepted and presented full papers will compete for Best Conference Paper Award and Best Student Paper Award. Only Student first author papers will be considered for the Best Student Paper Award. Papers will be evaluated on originality, technical merit, and significance to social-cyber applications. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the conference and will have an opportunity to publish an extended version of their paper in the Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory (CMOT) special issue.
