CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS
"SIMULATION OF COMPLEX SOCIAL SYSTEMS" (SICOSSYS 2011) Workshop/Paper Track at
the Summer Computer Simulation Conference 2011 (SCSC ‘11) SUMMER COMPUTER
SIMULATION CONFERENCE 27-30 June 2011, World Forum, The Hague, Netherlands
http://www.msc-les.org/conf/summersim2011/SCSC2011/index_file/Page436.htm
TRACK DESCRIPTION
Agent-oriented modelling provides a conceptual framework for analysis and
simulation of complex social systems. This comes from the fact that
agent-related concepts allow the representation of organizational and
behavioural aspects of individuals in a society and their interactions.
This has motivated in the last years the development of a wide range of software
languages/shells/libraries to simulate agent-based models. This workshop intends
to promote discussion on theories, methods, and tools for agent-based modelling
and simulation of complex social systems. This discussion should lead to the
identification of key research issues in this novel domain:
1. Complexity and Agent-Based Simulation. Simulation of complex systems.
Simulation of ABM and GIS, Social Networks, Human-subject experimentation.
Contributions from Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics. ABM for
policy-makers.
2. Conceptual and Methodological issues concerning the social sciences
practitioners. Threats and opportunities for computer scientists and social
scientists cooperation. Rigour and Replication in social simulation. Statistical
and Software validation.
3. Scalability of agent-based simulations. Limitations for Agent-Based
Simulation. Is there a need for a grid-based agent-based simulation platform?
Authors must strictly follow SCSC guidelines for paper submission.
