We invite researchers to present their work and participate in a special session on "Data Science and Development: Scaling Human Behavior Studies into the Millions" at the ICTD'2013 conference in Cape Town, South Africa. The session will be held on December 10th, 2013, from 09h00-13h00. We welcome both novel research and work that has already been published. The objective is to create a community around the areas of Big Data and Development. If interested, email an abstract of your work to the session organizers (Vanessa Frias, Josh Blumenstock, and Amit Nanavati) at [email protected]. Submissions made by November 15 will be given full consideration.
Session Abstract. The pervasiveness of mobile technologies, social media, and digital sensors is quickly generating vast quantities of digital traces that reveal a wide range of human behavior. This session focuses on understanding how the information extracted from such large-scale datasets can be used by researchers, policymakers, and organizations working for social development. ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.
