Scholars interested in the emergence of social simulation as a methodology in many research fields and disciplines should come to The 7th European Social Simulation Association Conference. It will be the opportunity to present new results and exchange experience with the leading researchers.
Papers and presentations will focus on a wide range of actual research from very abstract artificial societies to empirical models, from methodological advances to simulation results and their comparison with evidence, from theoretical developments on decisions, networks, collective action, and policies to the lessons of simulations for decision-makers.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
● Social networks and their dynamics
● Information and opinion dynamics
● Trust, reputation and norm dynamics
● Conflict and cooperation
● Coupling social and natural dynamics
● Group decisions and collective behaviours
● Emergence and evolution of institutions
● Social emergencies and social failures (crime, corruption, social unrest, financial crises, conflict, etc.)
