The European Social Simulation Association and Warsaw School of
Economics, Division of Decision Analysis and Support, invite
researchers and scholars interested in applications and theoretical
foundations of simulation modeling in social sciences to participate
in the 9th European Social Simulation Association Conference.
The conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for social
scientists, theorists, applied researchers and simulation modelers to
cooperate and exchange ideas concerning state of the art in methods
and applications of computational social sciences.

- Epidemiology & pharmacoeconomics
- Group decisions & collective behaviors
- Market design, mechanism design & auctions
- Privacy, safety & security
- Public policy & regulatory issues
- Resource management, environmental practices & policy
- Social emergence & evolution of institutions
- Social media and volunteered information
- Social networks and their dynamics
* Tools and methods for development of simulation models
- Advanced distributed computing
