Computational Social Science Society of America: October 9-12, 2011

Over the past decade simulating social processes has become increasingly important in the social and life sciences. The Computational Social Science Society of America organizes its second conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The 2011 conference will provide a forum for presenting models and discussing present research and future directions.

Keynote Speaker

Professor Uri Wilensky of Northwestern University
Author of Netlogo

Papers and presentations can cover a wide range of research topics, including:

  • Social networks and their dynamics
  • Information and opinion dynamics
  • Trust, reputation and norm dynamics
  • Conflict and cooperation
  • Social-ecological systems
  • Collective behavior
  • Agent-based computational economics
  • Cultural dynamics
  • Market dynamics and consumer behavior
  • Innovation diffusion
  • Empirically grounded agent-based modeling
  • Model replication and validation
  • Agent-based modeling platforms
  • Participatory modeling and simulation

There are 2 types of contributions:

  • Paper presentations for which you need to submit a paper.
  • Poster presentations for which you need to submit an abstract of 300-500 words.

Papers have a maximum of 8 single-spaced pages and use times roman 12 font size. Abstracts and papers should be submitted to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csss2011
