CALL FOR PAPERS
***** 1st ICC Workshop on Complexity in Social Systems *****
11-12 January 2008
ISCTE, Lisbon
http://labmag.di.fc.ul.pt/icc/wcss
The 1st ICC Workshop on Complexity in Social Systems will be concerned
with theories, methodologies, and computational tools related to the
study of complexity in social systems, aiming to bring together
researchers to report on progress in interdisciplinary domains.
Papers examining both theory and practice are welcome.
Theoretical areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* methodological issues addressing complexity in social systems
* measures of complexity
* models of emergent social phenomena
* social structure identification and pattern matching in social
representations
* tools to represent social systems, including dynamic social
networks, multi-agent based simulation, cellular automata, and dynamic
systems
Application domains might concern, for instance:
* logistics
* traffic regulation
* urban and regional social studies
* decision support systems
* public policies
* economic models
* innovation diffusion networks
* biological inspired representations of social phenomena
* ecological models
* e-health
* propagation models applied to biology, public health (epidemiology),
and others
* communication networks
