[Apologies if you receive multiple copies] The Conferences on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling and Prediction (SBP) and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation (BRiMS) will jointly hold their meetings in 2016. =========================================================
June 28 - July 1, 2016 UCDC Center, Washington DC, USA Conference Website: http://sbp-brims.org Conference Organization: http://sbp-brims.org/2016/committee/ CALL for PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIAL SESSIONS ---------------------------------------------------- Several half-day sessions will be offered on the day before the full conference. Sessions will be designed to meet the needs of one of two distinct groups. One group will consist of attendees who have backgrounds in the computational sciences: computer science, engineering, and other mathematically oriented disciplines. Other tutorial sessions will be designed for behavioral and social scientists and others (e.g. those with medical backgrounds or training in public health) who may have limited formal education in the computational sciences. Attendees will gain an understanding of terminology, theories, and general computational techniques, especially with respect to modeling approaches. Please see the SBP-BRiMS16 website for more details. Tutorials delivered in the previous SBP/BRiMS meetings are available at the websites, e.g., http://sbp-conference.org/sbp2015/tutorial/ http://sbp-conference.org/sbp2014/tutorial/ ## Submission ## Deadline: March 4, 2016 Tutorial proposals should be submitted in plain text or PDF, by email to the tutorial chair, Yu-Ru Lin ([email protected]). The email should have "SBP-BRIMS 2016 tutorial submission" in the subject header. The proposal should include the following elements: - Title of the tutorial - Description of the tutorial topic and expected audience (including the expected backgrounds of the attendees) - Short bio and contact information of the organizers More details regarding the pre-conference tutorial sessions, including instructors, course content, and registration information will be posted to the conference website (http://sbp-brims.org/) as soon as this information becomes available.
