Guest Editorial: Special Issue on Human-Centric Cyber Social Computing

Emerging cyber technology permeates not only our working environment but also our daily life. We enjoy various cyber-enabled online services, e.g., using smartphones for navigation and friendships via social network services (SNS) and doing business through the cyberspace, where a large amount of human-centric data are produced in both the man–man and man–machine systems. This issue aims to enhance the next generation of human-centered social computing and provide relevant theoretical and algorithmic support for the application of social networks. Accepted articles included in this special issue cover topics on human-centric big data analysis, social influence analysis, data-driven interdisciplinary modeling and analysis, user behavior modeling and analysis, cyber-enabled and artificial intelligent (AI)-enhanced healthcare services, and so on. These contents may draft promising perspectives for future research and demonstrate a variety of issues and solutions related to social computing. With the AI-enhanced technical analysis, these human-centric data can be effectively used to better serve humanity.
