<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.

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>
