Call for Papers EPOS 2010

 

June 23-25, 2010

Hamburg University of Technology (Kuehne School), Germany

IV Edition of Epistemological Perspectives on Simulation, A Cross-Disciplinary Workshop

Hosts: Prof. Dr. Matthias Meyer, Prof. Dr. Klaus G. Troitzsch

Like its predecessors the workshop wants to provide a forum for researchers from various disciplines, such as the social sciences, economics, computer science, engineering or the natural sciences, who are interested in discussing epistemological aspects of simulation across disciplinary boundaries. Philosophers are welcome, too.

Topics to be addressed in the workshop include, but are not restricted to issues such as the epistemology of simulation, credentials for model building, and standards for presenting and analyzing simulation results.

Following the tradition of most of the previous EPOS workshops, a selection of the accepted papers will be published. This year the articles will be published in a special issue of CMOT (Journal of Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory).

[Important dates]

March 1: Submission of papers or extended abstracts April 22: Notification of acceptance May 31: Receipt of full papers June 23-25: Workshop, Hamburg, Germany

Social sciences are now moving to a new stage. One of the promising methodologies is agent-based modeling.　Pacific-Asian Association for Agent-based Approach in Social Systems Sciences (PAAA) is the Pacific-Asian regional platform to explore the frontiers. PAAA works closely with its American equivalent, NAACSOS and the European Social Simulation Association, ESSA.

The objective of PAAA is to promote worldwide　activities of the multi-disciplinary community on multi-agent, computational economics, organizational science, social dynamics, and complex systems. PAAA lets researchers and　practitioners bring together from diverse fields, such as computer science,　system science, economics, physics, sociology, psychology, and complex theory in order to understand emergent and collective phenomena in economic, organization, and social systems.

PAAA will also give opportunities to discuss the effectiveness and limitations of computational models and methodologies for social sciences.

Our most important mission is to organize AESCS (Agent-based Approaches in Economic and Social Complex Systems).
