CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS
 
"SIMULATION OF COMPLEX SOCIAL SYSTEMS" (SICOSSYS 2011) Workshop/Paper Track at 
the Summer Computer Simulation Conference 2011 (SCSC ‘11) SUMMER COMPUTER 
SIMULATION CONFERENCE 27-30 June 2011, World Forum, The Hague, Netherlands

TRACK DESCRIPTION
Agent-oriented modelling provides a conceptual framework for analysis and 
simulation of complex social systems. This comes from the fact that 
agent-related concepts allow the representation of organizational and 
behavioural aspects of individuals in a society and their interactions.
This has motivated in the last years the development of a wide range of software 
languages/shells/libraries to simulate agent-based models. This workshop intends 
to promote discussion on theories, methods, and tools for agent-based modelling 
and simulation of complex social systems. This discussion should lead to the 
identification of key research issues in this novel domain:
1.  Complexity and Agent-Based Simulation. Simulation of complex systems. 
Simulation of ABM and GIS, Social Networks, Human-subject experimentation. 
Contributions from Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics. ABM for 
policy-makers.
2. Conceptual and Methodological issues concerning the social sciences 
practitioners. Threats and opportunities for computer scientists and social 
scientists cooperation. Rigour and Replication in social simulation. Statistical 
and Software validation.
3. Scalability of agent-based simulations. Limitations for Agent-Based 
Simulation. Is there a need for a grid-based agent-based simulation platform?
 
 
Authors must strictly follow SCSC guidelines for paper submission.
