Workshop Scope

Deep and quantitative behavior analysis such as in social network

cannot be supported by traditional methodologies and techniques in

behavioral sciences. This leads to the emergence of inter-disciplinary

Behavior Representation, Modeling, Analysis and Management (namely

Behavior Informatics). The International Workshop on Behavior

Informatics (BI2011) provides an international forum for researchers

and industry practitioners to share their ideas, original research

results, as well as potential challenges and prospects encountered in

Behavior Informatics.

The BI2011 workshop welcomes theoretical work and applied

disseminations on the categories which will include but are not

limited to the following:

Behavior modeling: formalizing behaviors, relationships, impact and

networks.

Impact-oriented behavior mining: behaviors associated with high

impacts are of particular importance, while impact-oriented behaviors

are often sparse, rare and imbalanced isolated in business and data;

identify impact-oriented behavior patterns involves different pattern

types and computational challenges.

Analysis of behavior social networks handling challenging issues such

as convergence and divergence of behavior, and the evolution and

emergence of hidden groups and communities.

Extracting discriminative behavior patterns from high-dimensional,

high-frequency, high-density, and huge amount of data.

Large intra-class variance between behaviors: Due to the highly

overlapped nature of behavior data, it is extremely difficult to build

a robust behavior model which is tolerant for one behavior category

while differentiate amongst other categories.

Behavior data processing from transactional space to behavior feature

space: Customer demographic and transactional data is generally

privacy-oriented, distributed and not organized in terms of behavior

but entity relationships. In such transactional entity spaces,

behavioral elements are dispersed and hidden within complex business

applications with weak or no direct linkages. As a result, current

behavior analysis which focuses on exterior features in demographic

and service usage data cannot effectively and explicitly scrutinize

human behavior patterns and impacts on businesses. To support genuine

behavior analysis on behavior interior, a challenging task is to

extract and transform transactional behavior-related elements into

explicit behavior features.

Paper Submissions

Papers accepted by BI2011 will be published in the PAKDD2011 workshop

proceedings in LNCS.

Each paper should consist of a cover page with title, authors' names,

postal and email address, an up to 200-words abstract, up to 5

keywords and a body not longer than 12 single-spaced pages with font

size at least 10pts.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript

submission guidelines for manuscript formatting. All papers must be

submitted electronically in PDF format only, using the conference

management tool.

Papers should be submitted through the following paper submission

system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bi2011

Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is

accepted, at least one author should attend the workshop to present

the paper.
