Call for papers: NAACSOS 2004

Post by John Sterman »

Folks, this conference may be of interest; the NAACSOS community has
much in common with the SD community.

>The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers and
>practitioners in the area of computational social and organizational
>science, to present new developments and findings, demonstrate
>state-of-the-art technologies, and advance the overall state of
>science and engineering in this area. Of particular interest is
>recent work in any of the following areas:
>
>1. Computational theorizing about complex
>socio-cognitive-technical systems, including organizations,
>commerce, markets, societies, institutions, privacy issues and
>technology enhanced environments.
>2. New computational, especially agent based or cognitive
>approaches, or network based analysis tools for studying, reasoning
>about, or providing policy guidance with respect to
>socio-cognitive-technological systems, social-psychological, social,
>organizational, political or technological systems.
>3. Advances in grounding, tuning, and validating computational
>models, particularly multi-agent models in the social and
>organizational sciences, including new techniques generalizable
>across many models, explainable artificial intelligence, and new
>empirical tests of specific models.
>
> This conference provides an international forum for
>interdisciplinary research that combines computation, organizations
>and society. The goal is to advance the state of science in formal
>reasoning, analysis, and system building drawing on and encouraging
>advances in areas at the confluence of social networks, artificial
>intelligence, complexity, machine learning, sociology, business,
>political science, economics, and operations research. Such
>research will lead to the development of new theories that explain
>and predict the behaviour of complex adaptive systems, new
>computational models and technologies that are responsible to
>society, business, policy, and law, new methods for integrating
>data, computational models, analysis and visualization techniques.
>
>Various types of papers and underlying research are welcome. Papers
>presenting, validating, or applying models and/or computational
>techniques, new algorithms, dynamic metrics for networks and complex
>systems and papers comparing, contrasting and docking computational
>models are strongly encouraged. Both applied and theoretical work is
>strongly encouraged. Theoretical research on fundamental principles
>of social behaviour such as coordination, cooperation, evolution,
>and destabilization are welcome. Applied research representing
>actual organizational or policy problems that can be addressed using
>computational tools are welcome. Work related to fundamental
>concepts, corporate, military or intelligence issues are welcome.
>Papers on the following topics are particularly welcome:
>organizations of intelligent agents, counter-terrorism,
>computational statistics for networks, organizational design, ethics
>and computation, computational models of privacy related issues,
>coordination, social cognition, or group performance.
>
>Dates:
>Papers for this conference are 2-5 pages, single spaced, in length.
>They are due by March 31, 2004. All papers must be submitted
>electronically through the conference paper submission form.
