<span style="background:white">ABOUT <span class="il">PARSOCIAL</span></span><br>
<span style="background:white">Computational methods to represent, model and analyze problems using <span class="il">social</span> information have come a long way in the last decade. Computational methods, such as <span class="il">social</span> network analysis,
have provided exciting insights into how <span class="il">social</span> information can be utilized to better understand <span class="il">social</span> processes, and model the evolution of <span class="il">social</span> systems over time. We have also seen
a rapid proliferation of sensor technologies, such as smartphones and medical sensors, for collecting a wide variety of <span class="il">social</span> data, much of it in real time. Meanwhile, the emergence of parallel architectures, in the form of multi-core/many-core
processors, and distributed platforms have provided new approaches for large-scale modeling and simulation, and new tools for analysis. These two trends have dramatically broadened the scope of computational <span class="il">social</span> systems research,
and are enabling researchers to tackle new challenges. These challenges include modeling of real world scenarios with dynamic and real-time data, and formulating rigorous computational frameworks to embed <span class="il">social</span> and behavioral theories
while taking into account ramifications in relation to policy, ethics, privacy and other areas.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white">This workshop provides a platform to bring together interdisciplinary researchers from areas, such as computer science, <span class="il">social</span> sciences,
applied mathematics and engineering, to showcase innovative research in computational <span class="il">social</span> systems that leverage the emerging trends in parallel and distributed processing, computational modeling, and high performance computing.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">The papers selected for <span class="il">ParSocial</span> will be published in the workshop proceedings. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library after the conference. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
