Hosted by:

November 5-6, 2010
Arizona State University
Tempe, AZ
Over the past decade, simulating social processes has achieved some level of credibility -- and yet progress in this area is stifled because of the lack of agreement on several critical core features. The new Computational Social Science Society was formed to provide scientists with the opportunity to interact and support the growth of this methodology. The 2010 conference will provide a forum for presenting models and discussing present research and future directions. As an organization, we focus on the following:
* Platform selection
* Agent construction
* Agent and system evolution using agent cooperation and competition
* Integrating humans into simulations
* ntegrating GIS and time into models
* ntegrating feedback into agent behavior
* Integrating social network methods into simulation models
* Designing social simulations experiments Data reduction and analysis of simulation outcomes
* Integrating Individual based models from biology and ecology with agent based models
* Interfacing social simulation and social science theory construction
* Validation - using theoretical constructs or extant data
Call for Papers
All fields of social and organizational inquiry are encouraged, including disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary work. Integrative research in computational social and organizational sciences is particularly encouraged.
Submission of Abstracts
Electronic submissions of abstracts (300 words maximum) will be through EasyChair (click here to submit) <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=2010csss> . If you do not already have an EasyChair Account, please sign up first here <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/account_apply.cgi?iid=>
The abstract should articulate the objectives of the presenter, a brief but thorough description of the research, and the expected gain by those attending the talk. Specific details about submission will posted in the papers section of the conference website (http://asu.edu/clas/csdc/events/C3SC.html). When you submit your abstract, please identify your first and second choice of themes that best represent your work from the following list:
* Organization and Networks
* Theory and Models
* Policy and Markets
* Population Movement
* Validity and Models
* Games and Decision-Making
Important Dates
June 1, 2010: Deadline for submission of abstracts or proposed posters.
August 1, 2010: Acceptance/Rejection notification.
September 15, 2010: Final camera-ready abstracts due in electronic form. Accepted abstracts will be distributed to the conference participants.
Review process
All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers. We will be accepting only those abstracts that indicate high quality research and are consistent with the objectives of the conference.
