*Scope of Special Issue:
Computational methods to represent, model and analyze problems using social
information have come a long way in the last decade. Computational methods,
such as social network analysis, have provided exciting insights into how
social information can be utilized to better understand social processes,
and model the evolution of social systems over time. Meanwhile, the
emergence of parallel architectures, in the form of multi-core/many-core
processors, and distributed platforms, have provided new approaches for
large-scale modeling and simulation, and new tools for analysis. This
special issue provides a platform to bring together interdisciplinary
researchers from areas, including computer science, applied mathematics,
social sciences, and computer engineering, to showcase innovative research
in computational social systems that leverage the emerging trends in
parallel and distributed processing, computational modeling, and high
performance computing.

The major topic areas covered by the special issue are:
1. Large-Scale Modeling and Simulation for Social Systems.
E.g. Social network based models, Models of social interactions/influence,
Complex Adaptive System (CAS) models, Models incorporating socio-cultural
factors, Agent based social modeling and simulation, Modeling with
uncertain/incomplete social data, real-time social modeling, social and
behavioral theories

2. Social Computing Algorithms for Parallel and Distributed Platforms
E.g. Analysis of massive social data, Algorithms for dynamic social data,
Analysis methods for incomplete, uncertain social data, Social computing on
new and emerging parallel/distributed architectures

3. Applications
E.g. Emergency management (in areas such as infrastructure resilience,
natural disaster management), National security, Health science, Social
media analytics

*Manuscript Submission:
Authors must ensure that the papers submitted to this special issue is
original and is not under consideration for publication in any other
journal or conference. Submission that are extensions of previously
published work must contain significant technical novelty and significant
new results. Manuscripts may be submitted via the IEEE TCSS submission
portal at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcss. *IMPORTANT* In the cover
letter, authors must mention the special issue so that the manuscript is
routed to the special issue editors. The manuscripts should follow the IEEE
formatting guidelines as provided at
