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, statistical software development, and the application of statistics to disciplines, including veterinary science, animal behaviour, ecology, education and other social sciences. He is part of the development team of the MLwiN software package and directs the team that is currently developing the Stat-JR package. He has taught statistics to undergraduate and postgraduates in many disciplines and also regularly teaches advanced training workshops.Pat Brundellis a Research Fellow in the Mixed Reality Laboratory (MRL) at the University of Nottingham. His background is in experimental psychology, with a focus on the evaluation of interactive systems. Since joining the MRL in 2008 he has researched the technologies and methods to support the use of digital records for social science. Pat has also conducted numerous studies of the design process, implementation and use of interactive systems to support entertainment and informal learning in public spaces.Andrew Chadwickis Professor of Political Science in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Royal Holloway, University of London, where he founded the New Political Communication Unit in 2007. His books include the award-winning Internet Politics: States, Citizens, and New Communication Technologies (Oxford University Press) and the Handbook of Internet Politics (Routledge), which he co-edited with Philip N. Howard, and The Hybrid Media System: Politics and Power (Oxford University Press). Andrew is the founding series editor of Oxford University Press’s book series Studies in Digital Politics. He tweets as @andrew_chadwick.Simon Collisteris Senior Lecturer in Public Relations and Social Media at London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London. He is currently conducting PhD research at Royal Holloway, University of London’s New Political Communication Unit on the mediation of power in networked communication environments. Before entering academia, Simon worked for a number of global communications consultancies, planning and implementing research-led campaigns for a range of public, voluntary, and private sector organizations. Simon tweets as @simoncollister.Andy Crabtreeis Associate Professor and Reader in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham. He is an ethnographer who has conducted a broad range of ethnomethodological studies of work to inform the development of computing systems. Andy was co-director of the NCeSS DReSS Research Node, which developed the Digital Replay System (DRS).Mark Elliotjoined the Centre for Census and Survey Research at the University of Manchester in 1996 and was director from 2005–2008 and was pivotal in the development of the new discipline area of Social Statistics. He is a world leading researcher in the field of Statistical Disclosure, has frequent invitations to speak at international conferences on Confidentiality and Privacy and is consultant to many national statistical agencies including the Office for National Statistics in the UK, US bureau for the Census and the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Statistics Singapore. Mark’s work on Data Intrusion Simulation and Special Uniqueness is regarded as seminal within the disclosure control field. Apart from confidentiality and privacy his main research interests are in data linkage, attitude theory and measurement and impact of attitudes on socio-economic outcomes.Steven Grayis a Research Associate and spatial software researcher at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, making the visualization of large complex datasets on maps easier for users and scientists alike. With over 10 years of professional software development under his belt, he has built multiple award winning systems and his work has been featured in various worldwide media outlets (CNN, BBC). In recent years he has specialized on building mobile applications that open up the world of data visualization, mining and analysis to the masses. Steven’s current research focuses on distributed high performance computing and analyzing large datasets in real-time (http://bigdatatoolkit.org/.)Peter Halfpennyis Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester. He was Executive Director of the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science from 2004 to 2010, responsible for the overall strategic management of the Centre’s programme of research, outreach and capacity-building. Peter’s own research interests are in the integration of computer tools and services into a comprehensive support environment for social science researcher practitioners, and the investigation of the adoption and adaptation of e-Science tools across the social research community.Andy Hudson-Smithis Reader in Digital Urban Systems at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). He is Editor-in-Chief of Future Internet Journal, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the Greater London Authority Smart London Board. His research is focused on location-based digital technologies and has been at the forefront of Web 2.0 technologies for communication, outreach and developing a unique contribution to knowledge. Andy is author of the Digital Urban Blog (www.digitalurban.org). He works on the Internet of Things, smart cities, big data, digital geography, urban planning and the built environment.Marina Jirotkais Professor of Human Centred Computing in the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. Her research interests lie at the interface between the Computer and Social Sciences and focus on methodological innovations. She undertakes research into work practices drawing on ethnographic fieldwork often supplemented by video analysis. Marina has led and collaborated on a number of research projects related to ethical, legal and social issues in ICT. She is a Chartered IT Professional of the BCS and sits on the ICT Ethics Specialist Group committee. She has published widely in international journals and conferences in e-Science, HCI, CSCW and Requirements Engineering.Dawn Knightis a lecturer in Applied Linguistics at Newcastle University, UK. Her research focuses on corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, lexico-grammar, multimodality and the socio-linguistic contexts of communication. The main contribution of her work has been to pioneer the development of multimodal corpus-based discourse analysis. This has included the shaping a novel methodological approach through the co-development of the Digital Replay System to support the analysis of the relationship between language and gesture-in use based on large-scale real-life records of interaction.Paul Lambertis Professor in Sociology in the School of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling. He held research posts at the Universities of Cardiff and Lancaster prior to joining Stirling in 2003. His areas of expertise cover social science research methods, social statistics, and the sociological analysis of social stratification and inequality. His most recent research projects have been concerned with the measurement of social stratification and inequality using detailed occupational information; the analysis of social distance and social networks; and methodological research on statistical techniques, data management when using secondary survey data, and Digital Social Research. Paul teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses on social research methods and social stratification, and had led a number of advanced training workshops on topics including secondary survey data analysis, data management, and statistical modelling.Nick Mallesonis a lecturer in Geographical Information Systems and a member of the Centre for Spatial Analysis and Policy (CSAP) in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds.
