*INTRODUCTION*

The International Conference on *Soc*ial *I*ntelligenc*e *and
*T*echnolog*y*(SOCIETY) is an interdisciplinary venue for researchers,
scientists, and
practitioners from diverse fields, such as cognitive science, computing,
engineering, information science, social science, psychology,
sustainability science, economics, business, human-coupled complex systems,
human factors, behavior modeling, neural science, linguistics, security,
criminal intelligence, health, public policy, to come together to share and
present their innovative work in the social context.   Social intelligence
and technology explores the roles of information/internet/mobile technology
in improving our understanding about human behaviors and social interaction
in human society from the perspective of individual level, interpersonal
level, and community level, building a sustainable social environment,
developing social intelligence, as well as their practical applications
that have major impacts in solving societal problems such as health,
security, energy, environment, and enhancing the sustainability of our
society.
