*** The 4th International Conference on Behavioral, Economic,
   and Socio-Cultural Computing -  16-18 October, 2017 (BESC 2017) ***

THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS
The 4th International Conference on Behavioral, Economic,
and Socio-Cultural Computing (BESC2017)  will  take  place
at the AGH University of Science and Technology  in Krakow,
POLAND, 16-18 October, 2017, http://www.besc-conf.org/2017

BESC aims to become a premier forum in which academic researchers
and industry practitioners from data  mining, artificial
intelligence, statistics and analytics, business and marketing,
finance and politics, and behavioral,  economic, social and
psychological sciences could present updated research efforts
and progresses on foundational and emerging  interdisciplinary topics
of BESC, exchange  new ideas and identify future research directions.

All accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore
as well  as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) services,
e.g. EI, DBLP and Thomson Reuters (Web of Science).
Top quality papers after presented in the conference will be selected
for extension and publication in several special issues
of international journals, including World Wide Web Journal (Springer),
Social Network Analysis and Mining (Springer) and Information
Discovery and Delivery Journal (SSCl-Indexed).

This edition of the conference takes place in Krakow,
at the AGH University  of Science and Technology. Krakow is the second
largest and one  of the oldest cities in Poland. The city is located
in the southern part of Poland in the Lesser Poland region. The history
of the city dates back to the 7th century. Since the Middle Ages Krakow
had been the capital of the Polish state until the 17th century
and has kept the character of a spiritual capital
till the present day. Poland is a member of the European Union since
May 2004  and belongs to Schengen Area since 2007.

The AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH-UST) is one of the 
leading technical  universities in Poland.  The university was
established on 20th October, 1919, and was formerly known
as the University of Mining and Metallurgy.
