豊橋技術科学大学の吉田です，こんにちは。

計算社会科学研究会では，2019年10月にテッサロニキ（ギリシャ）で開催されるWI2019において，計算社会科学（Computational
Social Science）に関するワークショップを企画しています。
締め切りが7月19日に延長されましたので，改めてご案内いたします。
また，本ワークショップと関連して，MDPI
Informationに特集号を企画しましたので，こちらも投稿のご検討をお願いいたします（詳細は最下部をご覧ください）。

このワークショップでは，大規模社会データ分析研究，社会シミュレーションによる理論的研究，バーチャルラボ（ウェブを使った大規模行動実験）による実験的研究，ソーシャルメディア分析などを使い，人間行動や社会現象を理解することを目指した研究論文を募集します。
昨年まではIEEE BigDataで実施していましたが，今年はWeb Intelligence (WI)での企画となります。
論文はACMフォーマットで最大8ページを受け付け，採録された論文はACM Digital Libraryに掲載される見込みです。
論文の締切は2019年7月19日です。多数のご投稿をお待ちしています。

======================================
The 4th International Workshop on Application of Big Data for
Computational Social Science (ABCSS2019 @ WI2019)
(WI2019 Workshop)
https://css-japan.com/abcss2019/
======================================

Contemporary social sciences are facing a serious paradigm shift
because of the developments in computer and Internet technologies,
though traditional social sciences are still very important. Big data,
such as digital traces of online activities and mobility records,
allows us to quantify human behavior and social phenomena at a
fine-grained level, yet it is global in scale, thereby complementing
experimental data and theoretical and computational simulation
results. In some cases, we can even employ the methods of natural
sciences, including physics, chemistry or biology, in order to analyze
big data. From this perspective, we will organize the workshop of
“applications of big data for computational social science.” The
scopes of the workshop include the applications of big data, as well
as the methods for collecting and using big data for computational
social science. Moreover, theoretical frameworks and computational
techniques for big data are also very important topics in our
workshop. In this workshop, social sciences are not limited to
sociology, economics, marketing, political science, but also include
informatics, complexity science, econophysics, sociophysics,
culturomics and the arts.
