To draw collectively the "state of the art" of the currently available main families of hypotheses (models) and the applicability domains, the corresponding set of emergent dynamics (results) and the – possible - role of the different hypotheses about the type of network of interactions.

    To reduce the gap with social experiments and to go beyond the disciplines borders, by interacting with social-psychologists to learn about the current state of experiments. To find a common framework to design new experimental techniques based on modern technologies (sensor devices, smartphones apps, internet interfaces).

    To discuss the model validation with real data and analyse which kind of stylized fact of reality are reproduced.

    To foster the research by exchanging knowledge concerning methods for abstract models, for the set of emergent phenomena.

    To discuss the main challenges to address by the field in the years to come, both theoretically and experimentally, with a particular emphasis to web collected experimental data.

Original papers should be submitted using until the 15th of April via the easyChair platform. Papers should not be longer than 15 pages. The authors of the selected paper will be informed by the 15th of May. A selection of the best papers should be envisaged for a specific issue of Advances for Complex Systems. For this reason we encourage the use of the ACS latex style.
