Dear friends and colleagues,
We are nearing the end of the writing and editing of the handbook on
"Simulating Social Complexity" which is to be published in the new year.
See http://cfpm.org/ssc-handbk.html for details.
In the epilogue we would like to look forward a bit to guesses about the
future trends, issues and techniques in social simulation. Thus we are
asking for contributions consisting of people's opinions on this.
If you are interested, please send a 1 page statement of an area or two
that you think will become increasingly important within the next 10
years. There should be already a few indications of the trend or issue
you describe, but it should not be already much researched. We will
edit these all into the final epilogue to the handbook.
All contributions will be acknowledged, but contributors will not get a
whole free copy of the handbook -- sorry!
Please send in word or RTF format to [log in to unmask] by October 2nd 2009.
Thank you
Regards.
