Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks

Recent technological and mathematical developments have opened the possibility of considerable improvments to our understanding of how information flows and decisions are made in large social networks.

In this Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks, we bring together researchers from different communities working on information propagation and decision-making in social networks to investigate both rigorous models that highlight capabilities and limitations of such networks, as well as empirical and simulations studies of how people exchange information,

Recent technological and mathematical developments have opened the possibility of considerable improvments to our understanding of how information flows and decisions are made in large social networks.

In this Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks, we bring together researchers from different communities working on information propagation and decision-making in social networks to investigate both rigorous models that highlight capabilities and limitations of such networks, as well as empirical and simulations studies of how people exchange information, influence each other, make decisions, and develop social interactions.

The workshop will feature many short presentations from different perspectives (economics, social sciences, cognitive science, computer science, management, etc.) that will be accessible to a large audience.
