Workshop on MAS for Complex Networks and Social Computation (CNSC 2015)

June 3rd-5th 2015, Salamanca, Spain

DESCRIPTION
------------------------------
Many of the systems that can be found in our environment can be modeled 
as complex adaptive systems that consists of a dynamic network of agents 
(which may represent individuals, businesses, services, resources). 
These agents perform a set of activities in parallel and react to the 
actions of other agents. Multi-agent systems are considered a suitable 
tool for the study of complex adaptive systems and specially those that 
are distributed and dynamic. The Workshop MAS for Complex Networks and 
Social Computation is focused on providing a forum for researchers from 
academia that belong to different disciplines and methodological 
backgrounds. In this forum, they will be able to discuss ideas, research 
questions, recent results, and future challenges in this emerging area 
of research.


Specific topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Social computing
* Complex networks
* Bio-inspired complex systems
* Social network analysis
* Sensor networks
* Urban systems and networks
* Self-organizing dynamics on complex networks
* Social contagion processes
* Collective belief formation and revision
* Information diffusion
* Group formation, evolution and behavior analysis.
* Community detection
* Social simulation, cultural, opinion, and normative dynamics.
* Agent-based simulation of social systems.
* Search in complex networks
* Incentives and complexity in social networks
* Social problem solving
* Complex network robustness and vulnerability


Accepted and presented papers at the workshop will be published in PAAMS 
2015 Proceedings, published by LNCS/LNAI of Springer Verlag. We are 
currently negotiating an special issue in an ISI-indexed journal.
