+++++ Special Issue on "Agent-based Simulation of Diffusion Processes" +++++

Submission deadline: June 30, 2010
Publication of special issue scheduled for mid of 2011


****************************************************************
Scope

For decades, diffusion processes have received considerable attention by
both scientists and practitioners. More recently, agent-based simulations
come into play because they allow the explicit modeling of interactions
between heterogeneous agents and, thus, to overcome simplifying assumptions
of existing analytical models. This special issue aims at presenting current
developments and challenges in agent-based modeling of various diffusion
processes from several contributing fields (e.g., management science,
economics, sociology, psychology, computer science).

Areas of interest comprise, but are not limited to, applications, e.g., in
- diffusion/adoption of innovations
- knowledge diffusion
- epidemic modeling 

as well as technical/methodological aspects such as
- modeling agent behavior (e.g., communication processes, learning)
- designing proper social networks 
- implementation issues 

and/or more general questions regarding, e.g.,
- means for parameterization of agent-based simulations
- validation of these simulations.
