     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.
