ICCS08 (http://www.jeruccs2008.org/)
5th European Conference on complex systems,
Jerusalem, Sept 14-19, 2008
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Preliminary call for a one-day satellite conference on:
Firms and Networks
Firms and networks of firms organised
in industrial branches are obviously
complex systems which have been studied
in industrial economics,
geographical economics, business,
and management sciences. The complex system
approaches, especially network formalisms,
are well-adapted to the many questions that arise such as
how firms emerge, what is the dynamics of their development,
how industries are organised in firms networks,
what are individual firms strategies in terms
of connecting to other firms or competing on the market.
This one day session should attract
specialists from different horizons, complex systems
scientists as well as economists or management scientists.
Organisers of the satellite conference:
Guido Caldarelli and Gérard Weisbuch
Invited speakers
Giovanni Dosi and Mauro Gallegatti.
Application
We are looking for papers based on empirical
studies and/or computational models results rather
purely verbal theories or future research programs.
Please send us before june 15th either a preprint
or a long abstract (4 pages) of the work you propose
to present.
No specific fees are requested to attend this parallel session
except the ICCS08 general fees. Please let us know wether you plan
to attend with/out presenting a paper.
Authors will be notified by july 1rst about the
results of the selection process.
Looking forward seeing you in Jerusalem.
