Social Science Informatics

This informatics theme contains a variety of cross-disciplinary activities between the SCI faculty and social, cognitive and behavioral scientists. Informatics is used in a variety of ways to assist the inquiry of social scientists and social science insights on human behavior facilitate the improvement of human-computer interfaces.
           
Social science driven activities contain the computational simulation of social phenomena such as governance of common pool resources and ancient societies; the integration of data from social science research activities, the social analysis of electronic documents and communication and tools for social scientists to analyze spatial explicit information.
           
Informatics driven activities contain the development of interfaces and improving the accessibility of information by using insights and experience of cognitive scientists. Applications include the tools developed for those who are blind or visually impaired.
