10th International Conference on Behavioural and Social Computing (BESC 2023)
October 30 – November 1, 2023, 5* Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus
(*** Submission Deadline: 29 July, 2023 AoE ***)
The International Conference on Behavioural and Social Computing (BESC) is a major
international forum that brings together academic researchers and industry practitioners from
artificial intelligence, computational social sciences, natural language processing, business
and marketing, and behavioural and psychological sciences to present updated research
efforts and progresses on foundational and emerging interdisciplinary topics of BESC,
exchange new ideas and identify future research directions.
The BESC series of conferences are technically sponsored by IEEE SMC (Systems, Man and
Cybernetics) Society as well as IEEE CIS (Computational Intelligence Society) and the
proceedings are published by IEEE
BESC 2023 invites submissions of original, high-quality research papers addressing
cutting-edge developments from all areas of behavioural and social computing. The
conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to
share their knowledge, experience, and perspectives on the latest trends, challenges, and
opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
