Apologies for cross-postings ==================================================================== Econophysics Colloquium 2010 November 4-6, 2010, Taipei, Taiwan http://www.phys.sinica.edu.tw/~socioecono/econophysics2010 ==================================================================== submission deadline for abstract has been extended to June 11, 2010 <=== Aims ===> The annual colloquium, now in its sixth consecutive year, provides a platform for the presentation of interdisciplinary ideas from different communities, for instance economics and finance, physics, mathematics, biology, computer science, engineering, etc. The main aim of this colloquium is to foster an open-minded, cross-fertilizing and regular exchange of ideas among scholars and practitioners of the different fields in a friendly environment. <=== Conference Topics ===> Conference topics traditionally include the application of methods and modeling paradigms from physics and complexity science to socio-economic problems, for instance in the following fields: * Statistical and probabilistic methods in economics and finance * Multi-scaling analysis and modeling * Complex socio-economic networks * Agent-based models in economics and finance * Evolutionary economics * Information, bounded rationality, and learning * Markets as complex adaptive systems * Non-linear dynamics and econometrics * Nonadditive entropy and nonextensive statistical mechanics in socio-economics However, in light of the recent financial crisis and the resultant heating reflections and discussions on the mainstream economics, this conference also welcomes provocative studies which use econophysics models to provide lessons, insights or merits which are not easily available in the mainstream approaches. Studies which provide counter arguments will be considered without bias. <=== Abstract Submissions ===> The abstract should not exceed 2 pages in length and must contain: 1. The title of presentation. 2. Names and affiliation of the presenting authors. 3. Contact information for the corresponding author, including both postal and e-mail addresses. Once the abstract is prepared please convert it to PDF format and e-mail your abstract named "YourSurnameAbstract.pdf" to [log in to unmask] with the Subject: econophysics2010. <=== Paper Submissions ===> Once your abstract is accepted, please prepare your full paper named "YourSurnamePaper.pdf" in compliance with the format of International Review of Financial Analysis (IRFA) (http://www.elsevier.com/wps/product/cws_home/620166) and submit both to [log in to unmask] and the Special Issue online submission of IRFA. A limited number of high quality papers which are relevant to financial markets will be selected for the forthcoming Special Issue of IRFA. <=== Important Dates ===> * Deadline for abstract submission - June 11, 2010 (*** deadline extended ***) * Notification of acceptance - July 16, 2010 * Deadline for paper submission - August 27, 2010 * Deadline for registration - October 1, 2010 <=== Organizing Committee ===> * Sai-Ping Li (Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan) * Shu-Heng Chen (National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan) * Sun-Chong Wang (National Central University, Jhongli, Taiwan) * Chung-I Chou (Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan) <=== Scientific Committee ===> * Tomaso Aste (The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) * Lisa Borland (Evnine-Vaughan Associates Inc., San Francisco, USA) * Giulio Bottazzi (Sant'Anna School, Pisa, Italy) * J.-Philippe Bouchaud (Science & Finance/CFM, Paris, France) * Carl Chiarella (University of Technology, Sydney, Australia) * Guido Caldarelli (Universita' La Sapienza, Roma, Italy) * Michel Dacorogna (SCOR SE Zurich Branch, Zurich, Switzerland) * Tiziana Di Matteo (King's College London, London, UK The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) * J.Doyne Farmer (Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, USA) * Mauro Gallegati (Universita Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy) * Cars Hommes (University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands) * Giulia Iori (City University, London, UK) * Taisei Kaizoji (International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan) * Steve Keen (University Western Sydney, Sydney, Australia) * Janos Kertesz (Technical University of Budapest, Budapest, Hungary) * Seunghwan Kim (POSTECH, Pohang, Korea) * Alan Kirman (G.R.E.Q.A.M, Aix-en-Provence, France) * Fabrizio Lillo (University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy) * Thomas Lux (University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany) * Rosario N.
