  This book draws on the social and behavioral sciences and computational modeling communities' best wisdom, ideas, and suggestions in the pursuit of forming the agenda for the next decade of research and development. The content stems from a recent national workshop of prominent researchers who discussed the issues of upcoming breakthroughs, challenges and opportunities. The contributors balance theory-driven, data-driven, and theory-informed data collection and analysis, in order to provide techniques for improving model comprehensibility and review. The development of foundational frameworks is explored for future behavioral modeling (e.g., constructs identifying components and modules to be developed). The book also applies machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to behavioral modeling.
