The 9th International Conference on Behavioral and Social Computing (BESC 2022) will be a hybrid mode Conference, hosted by Matsuyama University, Japan, 29-31 October 2022. BESC conference aims to become a premier forum in which academic researchers and industry practitioners from artificial intelligence, computational social sciences, natural language processing, business and marketing, and behavioral 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. Following the successful BESC2014 in Shanghai, China, BESC2015 in Nanjing, China, BESC2016 in Durham, NC, USA, BESC2017 in Krakow, Poland, BESC2018 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, BESC2019 in Beijing, China, BESC2020 in Bournemouth, UK, BESC 2021 in Doha, Qatar, BESC 2022 will take place in Matsuyama University, Ehime, Japan.

Submission Guidelines
The BESC Organizing Committee invites submissions of applied or theoretical research and application-oriented papers on any below topics as well as Doctoral Symposium track papers.

All submissions should use IEEE two-column style. Templates are available from http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Paper submission system is available at: https://easychair.org/conferences/submissions?a=28305963
• All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF format only. BESC 2021 accepts research papers (6 pages), special session papers (6 pages) and Doctoral Symposium papers (2~4 pages).
• The page count above excludes the references.
• Conference paper review will be double-blind, and submissions not properly anonymized will be desk-rejected without review.
• Doctoral Symposium track submissions don’t need to be double-blind.
• Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.
• Papers must be submitted entirely in English
• Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
• Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. All accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Top-quality papers presented in the conference will be invited for extension and publication in several special issues of international journals, e.g., World Wide Web Journal (Springer), Web Intelligence, and Social Network Analysis and Mining (Springer).
