INTRODUCTION
Social Understanding and Mining (SUM) is a complex and hot topic for a large number of research areas in last years. A society is, in essence, a collection of rational and adaptive individuals taking decisions in a highly interconnected environment, complex, dynamic and non-linear environment. An emergent collective behavior emerges from such scenario without the necessity to provide specific goals to the users that belong to the group, community or any other kind of social-based structure that the interactions amongst the users could generate. The rising and huge popularity of Social Network applications (i.e. Facebook or Twitter) have provided and ideal environment to test and simulate new models, algorithms and methods to process knowledge that can be later used to understand (and mine) the behaviors in users or groups. These knowledge can be later used by different actors such us enterprises and private companies, public institutions, or researchers and scholars interested in formal and empirical analysis of social trends.
However, these models and techniques could go beyond from our current Computer Science and Engineering approaches if notable contributions from Social Sciences (i.e. sociology, psychology, e-government, marketing, advertising…) would enough studied and exploited. The current gap between theories and models from Social Sciences and advanced methods from Collective Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence is still a problem to be solved from both communities. Therefore, this special session tries to be a meeting point where researchers from Collective and Artificial Intelligence and Social Sciences could have the opportunity to present current research results, and to look for new ways of knowledge (techniques, methods, models and theories) sharing.
