EXTENDED DEADLINE!!!

The Steering Committee of the conference has decided to extend the deadline of the conference until March 22nd.

 

Simulation of Complex Social Systems



Topics

 

SOCIAL.jpgAgent 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:

 

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?

 

Authors' Guidelines

 

Original, high-quality technical papers are solicited for review, possible presentation and subsequent publication in the conference proceedings. Final paper submissions are to be made electronically to SCS via the SCS Conference Proceedings Management System. Include complete postal and e-mail addresses, and fax and phone numbers of corresponding author. Papers must be in English. (Papers must be submitted in the SCS format: http://www.scs.org/PDFs/formattingkit.pdf). For further instructions, please refer to the Submission Instructions in the SCS Conference Proceedings Management System web site (http://www.scs.org/summersim/submission/).

 

Confirmations will be sent to the contact author when the file has been retrieved and successfully viewed or printed. Only original unpublished material will be considered for publication. Authors should identify the area(s) in which they think their contribution would best fit, and should clearly indicate whether the submission is for a poster session or a full paper. Only papers that have not been previously published or presented are acceptable. Authors must obtain any employer, client, or government clearances before submission of the final manuscript. All conference attendees are expected to participate at their own expense.
