I am very pleased that the tutorials have been finalized for the 2011 SBP (Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, & Prediction) Conference, which will take place March 28-31, 2011 at the University of Maryland College Park.
Confirmed tutorial givers and their tutorial titles at SBP 2011 are:
Dr. Alex "Sandy" Pentland of the Media Lab at MIT: "Toolkits for Computational Social Science: Using Honest Signals to Predict and Shape Human Responses;"
Dr. Patty Mabry of NIH and Dr. Nate Osgood of the University of Saskatchewan: "Public Health Concepts: An Introduction for Modelers;"
Dr. Allen Tien of MDLOGIX and two team members: "Social Network Analysis of Personal and Group Networks," and
Dr. Jarideep Srivastava of the University of Minnesota: "Behavioral Informatics: Data Management and Mining Techniques Enabling Computational Behavioral Science."
The above tutorials will be delivered on March 28, 2011.
Tutorials and keynote talks are some of my favorite events at professional conferences so I hope that you can join us next March.
As the tutorial chair for this conference I am delighted with the above list of speakers and look forward to their tutorials! I might add that the program committee has been wonderful in identifying outstanding keynote speakers, which include Dr. Kim Thompson of Harvard's School of Public Health and Dr. Herb Gintis of the Santa Fe Institute (and a former colleague of mine at UMass Amherst).
Keep on checking the above conference website link, as information will continue to get posted.
