Call for Participation for the 2025 Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA) conference, which will be held in Santa Fe this November. It’s a great little conference—intimate (single track), interdisciplinary, and full of interesting work from people using CSS methods in a wide range of contexts. CSSSA has been running this conference for nearly 20 years and it consistently draws a vibrant, engaged community.

Virtual 90 min seminar to take a deep-dive on the steps necessary for proper machine-actionable data and software citations that result in data and software creators receiving automated attribution when a new peer-reviewed paper is published.

Please consider registering as you will be able to receive slides and the session recording even if you are unable to attend.

FRCCS 2025 is the 5th edition of the France’s International Conference on Complex Systems. It aims at bringing together the International scientific community working in complex systems.

The 20th annual Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2025) will take place from 25th to 29th August 2025 at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. The focus of this year is “Social simulation in a socio-technical context: embracing societies’ complexities”. Submissions for posters, extended abstracts, long papers and short papers are due April 11, 2025.

The abundance of data, accessible computing power, and storage has revolutionized science and ushered an era of data-driven scientific discoveries. This talk will cover the challenges involved in capturing and managing computational provenance and examine the evolution of methods and tools that have been proposed to facilitate transparency and reproducibility.

The Social Simulation FesT is a free online event 20-21 May 2025 for anyone interested in social simulation.
The call for session proposals is open, which you can propose until 7 March 2025 here: https://forms.gle/5j6i9v9s6LP2WDWf7

Best regards,
The SocSim Fest Committee

Is limited computing capacity holding back your science? Do you need help managing your research computing workloads with automation? If you work with research workloads that can be broken into independent, parallel computing tasks.
The OSG School uses lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises, personal consulting with OSG experts, and even roleplaying to teach you how to use high-throughput computing (HTC) effectively and get a research workload up and running.

Steve Railsback and Volker Grimm will present their short course introducing agent-based modeling for scientific applications. Major topics include model design—how to determine what things should be in a model or left out; programming models in the NetLogo platform; and model analysis—how to use a working model to produce theoretical and applied understanding. The course is sponsored by the NetLogo team at Northwestern University.

Brain Emulation Challenge Workshop: Functionalizing Brain Data, Ground-Truthing, and the Role of Artificial Data in Advancing Neuroscience

Explore the challenges and opportunities in functionalizing brain data to emulate neural circuits, tackle cutting-edge topics such as ground-truthing for validation, leveraging artificial datasets generated from virtual brain tissue, and the transformative potential of virtual brain platforms, such as applied to the forthcoming Brain Emulation Challenge.

The Summer Visiting Scholar Program is open to graduate students interested in spending up to 6 weeks at the CSDMS Integration Facility at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Selected students will be working on their own research and will benefit from mentoring with the CSDMS Research Software Engineers and faculty/staff.
