Topics:

The conference will be an international meeting point for social modelers and social researchers interested in dynamic topics and modern methods for theory building and testing. We favor paper presentations on a variety of research subjects related to social simulation, whether theoretical, experimental, practical, or technical. The topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Tools and methods:
    • Programming computational frameworks
    • Simulation experiment software
    • Role playing games and social simulation
    • Social Simulation and Laboratory Experiments
    • Socially inspired software applications (peer-to-peer, distributed trust etc.)
    • Model replication and validation
    • Social simulation and software design
    • Advanced computing technologies (e.g. the grid) and social simulation.
  • Applications of Agent-based Modeling
    • Social Complexity
    • Policy issues
    • Emergence of social structures and norms
    • Trust and norm dynamics, reputation
    • Social conflict and cooperation
    • Market dynamics and consumer behavior
    • Integrated social/physical modeling for environmental policy
    • Resource management and environnemental practices
    • Social networks and their dynamics
    • Information and opinion dynamics
    • Computational Organization Theory
    • Group decisions and collective behaviors
    • Emergence and evolution of institutions
    • Innovation diffusion
    • Societal transitions

Deadlines:

Paper proposals are expected by May 15st, 2010 (Exented Deadline). All paper submissions will be reviewed by an international review panel. Notification of acceptance will be sent by e-mail by June 1st, 2010.
