eurosymposium17: European Symposium Societal Challenges in Computational Social Science: Inequality and Imbalance Alan Turing Institute and British Library London, UK, November 15-17, 2017 |
Conference website | http://symposium.computationalsocialscience.eu |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurosymposium17 |
Submission deadline | September 30, 2017 |
The Symposium is an interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers from a diverse range of disciplines to contribute to the definition and exploration of the societal challenges in Computational Social Science, especially around the topics o inequality and imbalance. This is the first in a series of three symposia that discuss societal challenges in computational social sciences and will be held in London, UK. Future events will be focused on "Bias and Discrimination" (Cologne, 2018) and "Polarization and Radicalization" (Zurich, 2019).
Submission Guidelines
Original manuscripts should be submitted in English in pdf format to the EasyChair submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurosymposium17
Submissions should be 1-2 page abstracts (up to approx. 1000 words) summarizing the work to be presented. We encourage researchers to also submit mature work that has already been published and/or submit work in progress. 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. Accepted submissions will be non-archival, i.e. there are no proceedings. We may however discuss options for publishing selected submissions after the conference (e.g. as a journal special issue or edited collection). Submissions will mostly be evaluated based on relevance and the potential to stimulate interesting discussions.
