      Robert Acklandis an Associate Professor in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University. He gained his PhD in economics at the ANU, focusing on index number theory in the context of cross-country comparisons of income and inequality. Robert has been studying online social and organizational networks since 2002 and he established the Virtual Observatory for the Study of Online Networks (http://voson.anu.edu.au) in 2005. Robert established and teaches the Social Science of the Internet specialization of the ANU’s Master of Social Research, and his book Web Social Science: Concepts, Data and Tools for Social Scientists in the Digital Age (SAGE) was published in July 2013.Lawrence Ampofoearned his PhD in social media, security, and online behaviour at the New Political Communication Unit at Royal Holloway, University of London in 2012. He is founder and director of Semantica Research, a company that provides social media analysis for public, voluntary, and private sector organizations. Lawrence tweets as @lampofo.Professor Bob Andersonis Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. Having retired as Pro Vice Chancellor and CEO of University Campus Suffolk, Bob joined the Horizon Digital Research Institute in Nottingham. Bob taught for many years at Manchester Polytechnic (later Manchester Metropolitan University). Since 1988, he was taken up mostly with managerial roles, first as Director of the Xerox Research Laboratory in Cambridge, then as Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Business Development at Sheffield Hallam University, and then at University Campus Suffolk. When Bob was an active researcher, he, together with Wes Sharrock and John Hughes, undertook a number of what have become classic Ethnomethodological investigations in different settings. These included an entrepreneurial firm, the London Air Traffic Control Centre, and Xerox itself. These investigations were reported in a number of books, reports and papers. Whilst at Xerox, Bob was one of the leading proponents of the use of ethnographic approaches to data collection in the design and development of advanced systems.Michael Battyis Professor of Spatial Analysis at University College London in the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). He has worked on computer models of cities and their visualisation since the 1970s and has published several books, such as Cities and Complexity (MIT Press, 2005), which won the Alonso Prize of the Regional Science Association in 2011, and most recently The New Science of Cities (MIT Press, 2013). His blogs cover the science underpinning the technology of cities (www.complexcity.info as well as his posts and lectures on big data and smart cities (www.spatialcomplexity.info).Mark Birkinis Professor of Spatial Analysis and Policy in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds. His major interests are in simulating social and demographic change within cities and regions, and in understanding the impact of these changes on the need for services like housing, roads and hospitals, using techniques of microsimulation, agent-based modelling and GIS. He is currently the project leader for TALISMAN – the spatial data analysis and simulation node of ESRC’s National Centre for Research Methods.William Browneis Professor of Statistics at the University of Bristol where he is director of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling. He is interested in making the statistical analysis of complex structured datasets available and accessible to applied researchers in all disciplines. He took up his chair in Bristol in the Veterinary Sciences department in 2007 but is currently in the process of moving to the Education department (GSOE). He has previously held academic posts in the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham and the Institute of Education, London. William’s research deals with statistical methodology, in particular Monte Carlo Markov chain methods and multilevel modelling,
