- Subject: Symposium on Simulation of Social Processes
- From: SABBATINI%ccvax.unicamp.br@BITNET.CC.CMU.EDU
- Date: Sun, 25 Oct 92 15:56:00 -0200
-
- Call for papers and participation

- Simulating Societies '93
- 24-26 July 1993
-
- Approaches to simulating social phenomena and social processes
-
- Although the value of simulating complex phenomena in order to come to a better
- understanding of their nature is well recognised, it is still rare for
- simulation to be used to understand social processes. This symposium is
- intended to present original research, review current ideas, compare alternative
- approaches and suggest directions for future work on the simulation of social
- processes. It follows the first symposium held in April 1992 at the University
- of Surrey, UK.
-
- It is expected that about a dozen papers will be presented to the symposium and
- that revised versions will be published as a book. We are now seeking proposals
- for papers and for participation. Contributions from a range of disciplines
- including sociology, anthropology, archaeology, ethology, artificial
- intelligence, and artificial life are very welcome.
-
- Papers on the following and related topics are invited:
- * Discussions of approaches to the simulation of social processes such as
- those based on distributed artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms and
- neural networks, non-linear systems, general purpose stochastic simulation
- systems etc.
- * Accounts of specific simulations of processes and phenomena, at macro or
- micro level.
- * Critical reviews of existing work that has involved the simulation of social
- processes.
- * Reviews of simulation work in archeology, economics, psychology, geography,
- demography, etc. with lessons for the simulation of social processes.
- * Arguments for or against simulation as an approach to understanding complex
- social processes.
- * Simulations of human, animal and 'possible' societies.
-
- 'Social process' may be interpreted widely to include, for example, the rise and
- fall of nation states, the behaviour of households, the evolution of animal
- societies, and social interaction.
-
-
- Registration, accommodation and subsistence expenses during the meeting will be
- met by the sponsors. Partic ipants will need to find their own travel expenses.
- Proposals for papers are initially invited in the form of an abstract of no more
- than 300 words. Abstracts should be sent, along with a brief statement of
- research interests, to the address below by 15th March 1993. Authors of those
- selected will be invited to submit full papers by 1st June 1993. Those
- interested in participat ing, but not wishing to present a paper, should send a
- letter indicating the contribution they could make to the symposium, also by
- 15th March 1993.
-
- The organisers of the Symposium are Cristiano Castelfranchi (IP-CNR and
- University of Siena, Italy), Jim Doran (University of Essex, UK), Nigel Gilbert
- (University of Surrey, UK) and Domenico Parisi (IP- CNR, Roma, Italy).
