Call for Special Sessions
####################################################################
BESC 2015 aims to increase potential collaborations and partnerships
by bringing together academic researchers and industry practitioners
from data mining, statistics and analytics, business and marketing,
finance and politics, and behavior, 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.
The Program Committees of the International Conference on Behavioral,
Economic and Socio-Cultural Computing (BESC 2015) invites proposals
for Special Sessions to be held during the conference in 30 October –
1 November, 2015, Nanjing, China. The special sessions intend to
provide an opportunity to researchers to present and discuss their
work in focused areas, as well as to offer a forum for interaction
among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session will consist
of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of computing related to human
behaviors, economy, and social and cultural issues related to the main
topics of BESC 2015. The papers will be required to meet the same
standards as BESC 2015 papers and will be published by IEEE in the
conference proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Special sessions will also form part of the main conference program.
