The European Social Simulation Association and Warsaw School of
Economics, Division of Decision Analysis and Support, invite
researchers and scholars interested in applications and theoretical
foundations of simulation modeling in social sciences to participate
in the 9th European Social Simulation Association Conference.
The conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for social
scientists, theorists, applied researchers and simulation modelers to
cooperate and exchange ideas concerning state of the art in methods
and applications of computational social sciences.
Scope and Interests
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Applications of agent-based modeling in social sciences
- Agent-based computational economics & finance
- Conflict resolution & cooperation
- Coupled human-natural systems
- Diffusion of innovations
- Dynamics of trust, social norm, structures, reputation & opinion
- Epidemiology & pharmacoeconomics
- Group decisions & collective behaviors
- Market design, mechanism design & auctions
- Privacy, safety & security
- Public policy & regulatory issues
- Resource management, environmental practices & policy
- Social emergence & evolution of institutions
- Social media and volunteered information
- Social networks and their dynamics
* Tools and methods for development of simulation models
- Advanced distributed computing
- Agent ontologies
- Agent-embodied Artificial Intelligence
- Model replication, verification & validation
- Participatory & Human-in-the-Loop simulations
- Simulation software & programming computational frameworks
* Techniques for visualizing, interpreting and analyzing simulation outputs
- Coupling simulations and optimization methods
- Data analysis software for simulations
- Experiment design and data farming for simulations
- Simulation metamodels
- Statistical & data mining techniques for simulated data
Submission *
- Full paper - in the length of 10 to 12 pages, which should be
comprehensive and consists of detailed presentation of theory,
methodology and simulation results
- Extended abstract - in the length of 3 to 4 pages, which presents
the current topic in progress with enough detail to ensure proper
evaluation
- Poster - should present the current work in progress
Contributions can be submitted to general session or the following
special tracks:

change: an agent-based perspective (chairs: T. Filatova, G. Polhill,
R. van Duinen)
