SBP 2014-2016 Conference Sponsorship Grant Proposal
Abstract
The grant supports our efforts in organizing the Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling and Prediction Conference (SBP). The goal of this conference is to build this new community of social cyber scholars by bringing together and fostering interaction between members of the scientific, corporate, government and military communities interested in understanding, forecasting and impacting human socio-cultural behavior. It is the charge to this community to build this new science, its theories, methods and it scientific culture in a way that does not give priority to either social science or computer science, and to embrace change as the cornerstone of the community. Despite decades of work in this area, this new scientific field is still in its infancy. To meet this charge, to move this science to the next level, this community must meet the following three challenges: deep understanding, socio-cognitive reasoning, and reusable? computational technology. Fortunately, as the papers in this volume illustrate, this community is poised to answer these challenges.
