is an interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers from the
computational and social sciences to help fill the gap between the two
communities. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum to help
practitioners from the two disciplines define common research objectives and
explore methodologies. The organizers welcome a broad range of contributions,
from those that apply methods from the social sciences to the study of
socio-technical systems, to the application of computational methods to the
study of complex social processes and the use of social concepts in the design
of information systems.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(44,52,59)"> </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(44,52,59)">More information is available on the conference website: </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><a href="https://kdd.isti.cnr.it/socinfo2020/index.html"><span style="color:blue">https://kdd.isti.cnr.it/socinfo2020/index.html</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:15pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(38,38,75);text-transform:uppercase">IMPORTANT DATES</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 10pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(44,52,59)">·</span><span style="font-size:7pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(44,52,59)"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:rgb(44,52,59)">Submission
