Hawaii conference on systems sciences

[George Richardson]

This conference, held in January every year ("off-season" to our
usual summer conference), is becoming very interesting to system
dynamicists. Enjoy --

Call For Papers for

MODELING NONLINEAR NATURAL AND HUMAN SYSTEMS MINITRACK
(Formerly Agent-Based and System Dynamics Minitrack)
Part of the Decision Technologies in Management Track

at the Thirty-fifth Annual
HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
on the Big Island of Hawaii
January 7 - 10, 2002

Modeling Nonlinear Natural and Human Systems Minitrack

This minitrack is a premier presentation forum for the latest ideas and
results in the areas of agent-based adaptive simulation, system dynamics
based simulation, and other approaches to modeling nonlinear complex
systems. We
seek research papers, case studies and practitioner reports relating to
modeling and simulation methods, environments, and methodologies of complex
systems. Contributions, in which various nonlinear modeling techniques are
employed, are highly welcome.

Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to):

* Comparisons of Agent-based and System Dynamics studies
* Results Comparisons
* Integrated Studies (Agent-based and System Dynamics Models)
* Business Applications and Case Studies
* Simulation Architectures and Environments
* Standards
* Experimental Studies
* Large Scale Simulations
* Web-Based Simulations
* Model Verification, Validation and Calibration
* Integration With Decision Models
* Constructive and Destructive Agents
* Artificial Organizations, Societies and Economies
