This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation, SBP-BRiMS 2016, held in Washington, DC, USA, in June/July 2016. The 38 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The goal of this conference was to build a new community of social cyber scholars by bringing together and fostering interaction between members of the scientific, corporate, government and military communities interested in understanding, forecasting and impacting human socio-cultural behavior. For this three challenges have to be met: deep understanding, socio-cognitive reasoning, and re-usable computational technology. Thus papers come from a wide number of disciplines: computer science, psychology, sociology, communication science, public health, bioinformatics, political science, and organizational science.

This book presents selected extended and reviewed versions of the papers accepted for the First International Workshop on Regulated Agent Systems: Theory and Applications, RASTA 2002, held in Bologna, Italy, in July 2002, as part of AAMAS 2002. In addition, several new papers on the workshop theme are included as well; these were submitted and reviewed in response to a further call for contributions.The construction of artificial agent societies deals with questions and problems that are already known from human societies. The 16 papers in this book establish an interdisciplinary community of social scientists and computer scientists devoting their research interests to exploiting social theories for the construction and regulation of multi-agent systems.

Although the use of HTML and early Web browsers expanded the Internet - perience from mostly one-to-one interactions to that of one-to-many (massive publishing), this development still did not a?ord the sophisticated kinds of - cial interactions undertaken by people in the real world. Recently, however, new technologies(suchasWeblogs, Webservices, Websyndication, taggingwithfo- sonomies, and Wikis), sometimes collectively called Web 2.0 technologies, have appeared that o?er more socially oriented network interactions. This has led to the new system development mode of (a) employing lightweight scripting l- guages to bundle various Web 2.0 elements, or plugins, and then (b) deploying them on network servers, thereby establishing social network systems (SNS). The physical nature of the new network architectures is increasingly hete- geneous, comprising more lightweight portable devices (cell phones and PDAs) interacting with ever-more powerful multi-core network servers that host SNS. Emerging from these developments arepopular services such as Facebook, M- pace, Friendster, LiveJournal, Flickr, and YouTube. These sites employ tagging so that people can ?nd others with similar tastes and share media ? les stored on theservers.However, analystsandobserverspredictthatSNShavemuchgreater potential than merely exchanging media ?les; they are expected to a?ord opp- tunities to meet and engagein extended, creative, and more meaningful (in fact, unforeseeable) interactions that will greatly enhance the end-user experiences.

Social computing is concerned with the study of social behavior and social context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling provides a representation of the social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep und- standing of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computer and Internet technologies by humans in everyday life provides an unprecedented en- ronment of various social activities that, due to the platforms under which they take place, generate large amounts of stored data as a by-product, often in systematically organized form. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdepe- ent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between groups, communities, or nation-states. This requires joint efforts to take advantage of the state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines improving social computing and behavioral modeling in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies to better explain the interaction between social (both informal and institutionalized), psyc- logical, and physical mechanisms. The goal is to enable us to experiment, create, and recreate an operational environment with a better understanding of the contributions from each individual discipline, forging joint interdisciplinary efforts. This volume comprises the proceedings of the third international workshop on - cial Computing, Behavioral Modeling and Prediction, which has grown trem- dously.
