1. Aims and Scopes
Social sciences are now on a new stage. One of the promising
methodologies is agent-based modeling. Pacific-Asian Association for
Agent-based Approach in Social Systems Sciences (PAAA) is the
Pacific-Asian regional platform to explore the frontiers. PAAA works
closely with its American equivalent, NAACSOS and the European Social
Simulation Association, ESSA. The objective of PAAA is to pro mote
worldwide activities of the multi-disciplinary community on
multi-agent, computational economics, organizational science, social
dynamics, and complex systems. PAAA lets researchers and practitioners
bring together from diverse fields, such as computer science, system
science, economics, physics, sociology, psychology, and complex theory
in order to understand emergent and collective phenomena in economic,
organization, and social systems. PAAA will also give opportunities to
discuss the effectiveness and limitations of computational models and
methodologies for social sciences. Our most important mission is to
organize Conference of AESCS (Agent-based Approaches in Economic and
Social Complex Systems). AESCS 2012 mainly focuses on applications of
agent-based technologies to social complex systems. Conference
participants will present the latest results of various researches,
and discuss emergent phenomena and modeling issues of social complex
systems, which will provide further understanding on social complex
problems with agent-based technologies.
