Center for Complexity in Business - Call for Papers

Greetings!

The Center for Complexity in Business invites you to submit an
abstract for consideration for the 6th Annual Complexity in Business
Conference. The conference will be held in Washington DC on October
30th and 31st, 2014.

Submissions are encouraged that apply complex systems methods to any
area of management science. Areas of focus include data science,
agent-based modeling, big data, network science (social network
analysis), nonlinear optimization (machine learning / artificial
intelligence), spatial modeling (geographic information systems),
system dynamics modeling and other techniques to analyze and solve
problems that arise when large numbers of entities (consumers,
employees, traders, firms, etc.) interact in ways that are too complex
to be understood by more traditional management research tools.
Interesting submissions could be based in practically any area of
modern management, including marketing, information systems,
operations and logistics, finance, and organization science. For
instance, specific example topics might include:

Computational Consumer Behavior Modeling
Geography and Computational Modeling
Diffusion of Innovation and Information
Network-based Organizational Learning
Advanced Data Mining and Agent-based Modeling
Leverage Points and Scenario Analysis
Policy Analysis using Complex Systems Methods
Complex Systems Analysis of Rapidly Changing Industries (e.g., News
and Education)
Understanding the Economic and Cultural Implications of Social Media
Modeling of Long Term Trends and Dynamics in Consumer Systems
Individual-Level Modeling of Corporations and Markets
Knowledge Management of Streaming Big Data
Geolocation and the Spread of Information
Implications of Socio-Technical Systems for Organizations and Businesses

Preference for academic abstracts will be given to more rigorous
analytical, empirical, and behavioral approaches. Presentations should
be approximately 25 minutes in length.

Abstracts may be submitted only via the conference page at EasyChair.
Abstracts should be no longer than 1 page. The deadline for
submissions is Sunday, September 7th, 2013 at 23:59, Eastern-Standard
Time. The conference committee will select abstracts on a competitive
basis, and authors will be notified by September 14th, 2013.

Conference information is available at http://ter.ps/ccbconf2014

Keynote speakers will be announced shortly.
