Aims and Scope
Behavioral, Economic and Socio-cultural Computing (BESC) has been emerged as a new scientific field that studies effective methodologies, techniques and technical tools for representing, modeling, analyzing, understanding and managing human behaviors, economic phenomenon and social and cultural characteristics in the world. Unlike traditional behavior, economic and social science, which mainly focuses on qualitative and explicit behavior, economic and social appearance and drivers, BESC intends to support explicit behavioral, economic and societal involvement through a conversion from transactional entity spaces to behavior/economic/socio-cultural feature spaces in various socially-centric application domains.
Main topics and quality control
BESC conference (rebranded to "Behavioral and Social Computing" in 2021, (http://besc-conf.org/2021/ (this opens in a new tab)) is to provide a premier forum and platform for academic researchers and industry practitioners from data mining, statistics and analytics, business and marketing, finance and politics, and behavioral, economic, social and psychological sciences with the objectives to present updated research efforts and progresses on foundational and emerging interdisciplinary topics of BESC, exchange new ideas and identify future research directions. BESC has now been formally endorsed by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society as full sponsorship. As an endeavor following up the BESC 2020 conference, specifically, the objectives of the proposed special issue are:
- Social Computing
- Digital Humanities
- Natural Language Processing
- Behavior and User Modelling
- Data Privacy, and Ethics
- Information Management and Information Systems (IS)
- Computing and Social Psychology in the context of Covid-19
- Psychology for Cyber Security
Important Dates
Open date: 6 August 2021
Close date: 31 May 2023
