Abstract
Artificial intelligence and big data bring a new era of information communication. This new era is based on computational thinking, which uses the concept of computing science to understand and study human communication behaviors. Computation is therefore the next main area of development. There has also been a paradigm shift from traditional social science to computational social science. In this issue, we invite Prof. Jonathan J. H. Zhu to introduce the origins, theories, methods, and research questions of computational communication research, which is an emerging research approach. This issue also includes six research articles covering various issues in communication studies. The authors are from Taiwan, mainland China and the UK.
