IEEE International Conference on Big Data

    Special Session on Understanding New Markets by Data Science, Social Science, and Economics

    December 15th-18th, 2023 in conjunction with IEEE BigData 2023, Sorrento, Italy

    Scope

    Recent innovations with Big Data and Artificial Intelligence have created new markets and dramatically increased the importance of data. Despite these social changes, existing economics, market design, management, information systems, engineering, social science, and data science approaches to these new social issues have limitations. New market understanding schemes and solutions for social implementation are needed.

    To address these gaps, we propose a special session named “Understanding New Markets by Data Science, Social Science, and Economics” to discuss the processes and interactions among data, humans, and society with researchers from engineering, information systems, data science, social science, management, and economics. The topics to be covered in this session are practical issues for understanding new societies and markets, including analytical work with data and solutions to complex social problems. The session will cover not only cleanly formatted, homogeneous data but also heterogeneous data that influence human behavior, thinking, and intentions across different domains. Discussions will focus on how large-scale data can be used in healthcare, business management, and public systems, as well as discussions of quantitative assessments of what works in these areas and the obstacles to advancing their use. In addition to these research areas, we will explore utilizing large-scale data and designing mechanisms and institutions that consider social and cultural backgrounds across disciplines. We believe that this special session focusing on the new schemes for market understanding and design will be of great significance to academia and society.
