Submissions have to be sent via Easychair. If you want to submit for a special session, the ESSA@work track or the PhD Colloquium (details on the website) you can tag your paper accordingly on the Easychair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssc2016

The following types of contributions are accepted:
• Full papers – 10 to 12 pages, detailed presentation of theory, methodology and/or simulation results.
• Extended abstracts – 3 to 4 pages, presenting research in progress with enough detail to ensure proper evaluation and discussion.
• Posters – size A1 (smaller sizes are acceptable), presenting work in progress. An abstract (1-2 pages) should be submitted before contributions deadline.
• PhD Student projects – 3 to 4 pages, which present research ideas (i.e., a puzzle, a rationale for using social simulation models, methodology and expected results), to be discussed during the a PhD Colloquium to be held on a dedicated session, involving a group of PhD students and senior researchers.

All the submissions must be in the Springer LNAI format: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. All the submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent experts.
