The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies creates an unprecedented environment where people can share opinions and experiences, exchange ideas, offer suggestions and advice, debate and even conduct experiments. Social computing, the study of social behavior and context based on computational systems, facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, anticipation, and prediction. This unique volume presents material from the second interdisciplinary workshop focused on employing social computing for behavioral modeling and prediction. The book provides a platform for disseminating results and developing new concepts and methodologies aimed at advancing and deepening our understanding of social and behavioral computing to aid critical decision making. The contributions incorporate views from government, industry and academia, and address research problems arising from pressing demands in the real world. Integrates an interdisciplinary audience comprised of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from social science, behavioralscience, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, and operations research Incorporates views from government, industry, and academia INDICE: From the contents Preface.- Acknowledgments.- List of Contributors.- Reality Mining of Mobile Communications: Toward A New Deal On Data.- Lifting Elephants: Twitter and Blogging in Global Perspective.- Rule Evaluation Model as Behavioral Modeling of Domain Experts.- Trust and Privacy in Distributed Work Groups.- Cultural Consensus Theory: Aggregating Expert Judgments about Ties in a Social Network.- Dynamic Networks: Rapid Assessment of Changing Scenarios.- Modeling Populations of Interest in Order to Simulate Cultural Response to Influence Activities.- The Use of Agent-based Modeling in Projecting Risk Factors into the Future.- Development of an Integrated Sociological Modeling Framework (ISMF) to Model Social Systems.- The Coherence Model of Preference andBelief Formation.- Cognitive Modeling of Household Economic Behaviors during Extreme Events.- Collaborating with Multiple Distributed Perspectives and Memories.- When is social computation better than the sum of its parts?
