Kindly circulate among colleagues and students interested in computational social science and/or social simulation: http://lipari.cs.unict.it/LipariSchool/SocialScience/ The Lipari International School on Computational Social Sciences will take place this summer, July 18 - 25, 2009, on the Mediterranean island of Lipari just north of the coast of Sicily, Italy. Researchers interested in the emerging field of computational social science, especially but not exclusively computational political science theory and simulation models, are encouraged to consider this as an opportunity to learn more and become acquainted with a variety of research frontiers. -- Claudio Cioffi-Revilla, Ph.D. Professor of Computational Social Science NAS Jefferson Science Fellow Director, Center for Social Complexity Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, George Mason University Research-1 Bldg MS 6B2, 4400 University Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030 U.S.A. tel (703) 993-1402, fax (703) 993-1399, [log in to unmask] Research & Teaching http://socialcomplexity.gmu.edu http://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/11458/ MASON Project http://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/ łAll truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the difficulty is to discover them.˛--Galileo Galilei
