The 6th Conference of the European Social Simulation Association Conference

Location: University of Surrey, Guilford (just outside of London), UK
Deadline for Submissions: April 14th, 2009
For more information: http://cress.soc.surrey.ac.uk/essa2009
Reasonably mature papers on all aspects of social simulation will be
carefully and anonymously considered – however most papers will (1)
describe an individual/agent-based computer simulation (2) exhibit the
outcomes of running the simulation in more than a cursory way and (3)
make some comparison of these with either: evidence from, or other
models of, social phenomena (human, animal or artificial). If you are
in doubt as to the relevance of a paper, you may email the Scientific
Chair for his opinion (see below), however the decisions about relevance
will be made by the Programme Committee. See the conference website for
details as to submission procedure.
All the accepted papers will be included in the ESSA 2009 electronic
proceedings. The best accepted papers will be published in a separate
post-proceedings
NAACSOS - North American Association for Computational Social and Organizational Sciences
Date: October 23-24, 2009
Location: Arizona State University
Deadline for Submissions: July 15, 2009
Notification: August 15, 2009
Over the past decade simulating social processes has achieved some level of credibility -- and yet progress
in this area is stifled because of the lack of agreement on several critical core features. The objective of
the 2009 conference is to allow scientists the opportunity to present work in this area that extends and
solidifies the legitimacy of this methodology. Specifically, the conference organizers are asking that presenters
use their models to address some of the following:
Platform selection
Validation: using theoretical constructs or extant data
Agent construction
Designing social simulations experiments
Integrating humans into simulations
Integrating GIS and time into models
Data reduction and analysis of simulation outcomes
Integrating social network methods into simulation models
Integrating feedback into agent behavior
Agent and system evolution using agent cooperation and competition
Integrating Individual based models from biology and ecology with agent based models
Interfacing social simulation and social science theory construction
All fields of social and organizational inquiry are encouraged, including disciplinary, interdisciplinary,
and multidisciplinary work. Integrative research in computational social and organizational sciences is
particularly encouraged.

- AAAI Fall Symposium on Complex Adaptive Systems and the Threshold Effect
Date: Nov. 5-7, 2009
Location: Arlington, VA
For more information: http://sites.google.com/site/complexadaptivesystems/Home
Most interesting phenomena in natural and social systems include
transitions and oscillations among their various phases. Companies,
societies, markets, and humans rarely stay in a stable, predictable
state for long. Randomness, power laws, and human behavior ensure
that the future is both unknown and challenging. How do events
unfold? When do they take hold? Why do some initial events cause an
avalanche while others do not? What are the characteristics of these
threshold phenomena that differentiate a sea change from a non-event?
Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) have proven to be a powerful tool for
exploring threshold phenomena. We characterize a general CAS model as
having a significant number of self-similar agents that:
utilize one or more levels of feedback
exhibit emergent properties and self-organization
produce non-linear dynamic behavior
Advances in modeling and computing technology have led to a deeper
understanding of complex systems in many areas, and have raised the
possibility that similar fundamental principles may be at work across
these systems, even though the underlying principles may manifest
themselves differently.
We therefore invite submissions from the community of CAS
researchers that address the threshold phenomena in any of the
Natural, Physical, or Social Sciences. It is our belief that by
bringing together researchers from diverse fields who study these
complex systems, we can leverage a deep understanding of one domain to
gain insight into others.
