Human behavior, social contact networks, and pandemics are closely > intertwined. The ordinary behavior and daily activities of individuals > create varied and dense social interactions that are characteristic of > modern urban societies. They provide a perfect fabric for rapid, > uncontrolled disease propagation. During the course of an epidemic, > individuals and institutions modify their normal behavior based on their > perceived severity and risk. The resulting co-evolution of individual and > collective behaviors, contact networks and epidemics must be taken into > account while designing effective planning and response strategies. > > Recent advances in high performance pervasive computing and big data have > created new opportunities for collecting, integrating, analyzing and > accessing information about evolving social interactions. The advances in > network and information science that build on this new capability provide > entirely new ways for reasoning and controlling epidemics. > > In this talk I will overview of the state of the art in computational > networked epidemiology with an emphasis on computational thinking and high > performance computing oriented decision-support environments to support > planning and response in the event of pandemics.

While decades of economic reforms have empowered myriad > civil society organizations, volatile contention has arisen among social > groups along ideological, class, ethnic, racial and regional fault lines. > Uncivil exchanges, amplified by the Internet and social media, often work at > cross purposes and fail to produce consensus or solutions to public problems. > These disputes, and the underlying social/political/cultural schisms, > threaten to undermine constructive citizen engagement and the promise of > civil society in China. They also challenge the notion of a unified civil > society standing in solidarity against a monolithic, authoritarian state. > > Consider the following examples: > > o The Internet flame war between Han Han and Fang Zhouzi that delegitimized > the notion of ?public intellectual? in China > > o Left-Right debate amongst China?s intellectual communities that spill > over into street brawls > > o Vigilantism and breaches of privacy (i.e. instances of ?human flesh > search engine? and the Guo Meimei Red Cross scandal) > > o Online conflicts between ?haves? and ?have-nots? amidst extreme inequality > > o Virtual contention between Han and ethnic minorities over the status of > Tibet and Xinjiang > > o Racial discourse on mixed-race Chinese and immigrants > > o Clashes over Taiwan?s ?sunflower movement? expressed on the Internet > > o Divergent online opinions about the ?umbrella movement? in Hong Kong > > This special issue invites contributors to unpack the multilayered, > multidimensional reality and contradictions that define the Chinese Internet, > focusing on the big-picture ramifications of online contention. With a > population of nearly 650 million, Chinese Internet users are more diverse > than the tech-savvy, liberal elites who first went online two decades ago. > The groups active online today include politically conservative, > nationalistic, apathetic, and even reactionary individuals. They also evince > complicated attitudes towards the state, business and other demographic > segments. The complex make-up of Chinese civil society and the nature of its > self-representation thus challenge, on the one hand, an idealized notion of > civil society that is independent from the private sphere, government and > business, and on the other, the implicit assumption prevalent in Chinese > Internet studies of a liberal subject demanding social justice, media freedom > and political reform. > > Questions for contributors: > > o What are the characteristics of Chinese civil society? What is its > potential or limitations? Does the proliferation of the Internet in China > necessarily empower civil society in China? Is the opposite possible? > > o Is civil society always civil? Can it be uncivil, fractious and even > reactionary? How does the Chinese Internet amplify or mitigate (un)civil > tendencies? To what extent is online public debate or collective action > becoming more fragmentary, working at cross purposes, or resulting in ?echo > chamber? effects and polarization? Do nationalistic, jingoistic and even > reactionary forces overwhelm and dominate ?civil? discourse? > > o Are the ?uncivil? tendencies of the Chinese Internet inevitable in a > society composed of increasingly diverse groups? To what extent do commercial > and state institutions influence uncivil tendencies online through > intervention or even manipulation? What roles do powerful Internet businesses > and elite personalities play? > > o Under what circumstances might incivility online prove advantageous for > political or social change? > > o What evidence do we have for (un)civil society in China? Examples might > include the formation of informal groups and formal organizations, > discourses, and their intersection with collective action, social movements, > and other social behavior. > > Contributions to this special issue will map a spectrum of key actors, > issues, and orientations of a contentious civil society that has been > submerged under a larger body of research on China and established > democracies that assume state-society confrontation and fail to explore > intra-societal tensions. Collectively, the contributions promise to produce a > theoretically-interesting and empirically rich body of work that expands and > deepens Chinese Internet research dominated by work focused on such topics as > Chinese Internet censorship and propaganda, online activism, civic > associations, deliberation and online culture. Insights generated from this > special issue will in turn inform and advance research on civil society by > debating its essence and examining the conditions conducive or unfavorable to > its growth, with implications going beyond China. Although contributions will > emphasize what polarizes Chinese society and sometimes seem to tear it apart, > we welcome contributions that a na > lyze the prospects for rising above incivility, bridging sociopolitical > schisms, and building consensus without compromising self-expression and > personal security. > > > Affiliated Conference > > We encourage interested contributors to attend the 13th Chinese Internet > Research Conference (CIRC) that includes as its theme ?(un)civil society in > digital China.?
