e-Infrastructures for Social Simulation Workshop, 26 October (Manchester)
This workshop is also part of the Agenda Setting Workshops series. In the
last decade, the computer simulation of social phenomena has become an
increasingly popular research method. The aim of the workshop is to
investigate how these technical and organisational advancements can be
exploited to create effective and sustainable e-infrastructures for social
simulation research. The aim of the workshop is to be genuinely agenda
setting, producing:
* a set of use cases, ordered by priority, for sustainable e-
infrastructures for social simulation
* an agenda of actions and initiatives required to implement the use cases

NCeSS Visiting Research Fellowships Scheme Announced
The NCeSS hub hosts a programme of visiting research fellowships in e-
social science. The scheme allows scholars to make an extended visit to
the NCeSS hub at the University of Manchester to explore how e-science
might benefit their own social science research. Fellows have the
assistance of the NCeSS hub team of social scientists, computer scientists
and Manchester Computing specialist support staff to advise them in
complementing the NCeSS research programme by investigating how Grid
technologies might provide new approaches to addressing their social
science research questions.
See http://www.ncess.ac.uk/research/fellowships/ for more details and how
to apply.
