Topics
We favour paper presentations on a variety of research subjects related to social simulation, whether theoretical, experimental, practical, or technical. The topics include, but are not limited to:
- General social models and their properties:
- Social networks and their dynamics
- Information and opinion dynamics
- Trust and norm dynamics
- Conflict and cooperation
- Coupling social and natural dynamics
- Group decisions and collective behaviours
- Emergence and evolution of institutions
- Specific models derived from case studies or experiments:
- Resource management and environnemental practices
- Market dynamics and consumer behaviour
- Simulation of experimental studies (experimental economics, psycho-sociology)
- Innovation diffusion
- Policy impact simulation
- Electronically mediated social systems (social networking, web2.0 etc.)
- Tools and methods:
- Programming computational frameworks
- Simulation experiment software
- Role playing games and social simulation
- Socially inspired software applications (peer-to-peer, distributed trust etc.)
- Model replication and validation
