Simulation of Complex Social Systems
Agent
oriented modelling provides a conceptual framework for analysis and simulation
of complex social systems. This comes from the fact that agent related concepts
allow the representation of organizational and behavioural aspects of
individuals in a society and their interactions.
This has motivated in the last years
the development of a wide range of software languages/shells/libraries to
simulate agent-based models. This workshop intends to promote discussion on
theories, methods, and tools for agent-based modelling and simulation of
complex social systems. This discussion should drive to the identification of
key research issues in this novel domain.
The workshop will be organized
around three main questions, for which position papers are requested:
1. Complexity and Agent Based Simulation.
Simulation of complex systems. Simulation of ABM and GIS, Social Networks,
Human-subject experimentation. Contributions from Social Neuroscience and
Neuroeconomics. ABS for policy-makers.
2.
Conceptual and Methodological issues concerning the
social sciences practitioners. Modelling facilities. Threats and opportunities
for computer scientists and social scientists cooperation. Rigour and
Replication in social simulation. Statistical and Software validation.
3. Scalability of agent based
simulations. Limitations for Agent Based Simulation. Is there a need for a
grid-based agent-based simulation platform?

SiCoSSys 2009 organizers.
Call for Contributions
Contributions
(position papers) on these questions are welcome. They should be of an
extension of around 2 pages, in PDF format.
Authors
are required to use Springer LNCS format for proceedings.
Submissions may be made through the EasyChair conference system which
will be available from 1st June.
After
the workshop we plan to organize a special issue in an international journal
(to be determined) with contributions from the participants on the results of
the sessions.
