The Annual Meeting (AM) of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) is a premier, peer-reviewed international conference that gathers scholars and practitioners from around the globe to share research, innovations, and insights regarding how information and technology mediate the creation and use of knowledge within and across cultures and enhance lives. Paper, poster, panel and workshop submissions that focus on the production, discovery, recording, storage, representation, retrieval, presentation, manipulation, dissemination, use, and evaluation of information and on the tools and techniques associated with these processes are welcome. The conference embraces plurality in methods and theories, and encompasses research and development from a broad spectrum of domains, as encapsulated in ASIS&T?s many special interest groups (SIGs). Important Dates: (all deadlines are midnight, Greenwich Mean Time) Paper Mentoring Service Submission of complete draft papers to the mentor service due: 10 March 2016 Mentors? feedback on drafts: 4 April 2016 Papers Submission of papers due: 17 April 2016 Notification regarding submitted papers: 23 May 2016 Submission of ?revise & re-submit? papers due: 3 June 2016 Notification regarding ?revise & re-submit? papers: 23 June 2016 Camera-ready accepted papers due: 25 July 2016 Panels and Workshops Submission of panels and workshop proposals due: 3 May 2016 Notifications regarding submitted panels and workshops: 15 June 2016 Camera-ready accepted panels and workshop descriptions are due: 25 July 2016 Posters Submission of posters due: 24 June 2016 Notifications regarding submitted posters: 30 July 2016 Camera-ready accepted posters are due: 10 August 2016 Submission site: https://www.conftool.pro/asist2016/ Final versions of accepted workshops and tutorials must be formatted according to guidelines provided at: https://www.asist.org/files/meetings/am16/AM16-Template-proceedings.pdf .

This event affords the opportunity to meet and discuss works in which social systems and dynamics are investigated in a quantitative way through large datasets that are either mined from various sources (e.g. social media, communication systems) or created via controlled experiments or computational modeling. Featured speakers include: Susan Athey, Dirk Brockmann, Rosaria Conte, David Ferrucci, Sandra Gonz?lez-Bail?n, Shawndra Hill, Michael Kearns, Jon Kleinberg, David Lazer, Alessandro Lomi, Sendhil Mullainathan, Matt Salganik, Peter Dodds, Markus Strohmaier, and Balazs Vedres. We welcome submissions on any topic (deadline January 31, 2016), but we are especially interested in: ? computational social science in industry ? computer-assisted text analysis and natural language processing ? network analysis ? large-scale experiments ? causal inference and computational methods ? science and technology studies approaches to computational science work ? reproducible research ? practical problems in computational social science ? the ethics of computational research on human behavior ? infrastructure to facilitate industry/academic cooperation ? issues of inclusivity in computational fields Faculty, graduate students, industry researchers, policy makers, and non-profit workers are all encouraged to submit data-driven research for consideration.
