Track on Modelling and Simulation in Social and Organizational Domains
Barcelona, Oct. 4-6, 2006
Social and organizational sciences is a comparatively young, yet
highly dynamic, application area of modelling and simulation. New
ways of thinking about social and economic processes are introduced
emphasizing the emergence of complex behaviour from relatively simple
activities. Especially the upcoming of agent-based approaches during the
1990s propelled research on multi-level modelling and simulation of social
processes. They
facilitate formalizing and testing behavioral theories, the
simulation of social phenomena like the emergence of norms, or the
simulation of behavior in complex environments (e.g. traffic flows).
Being part of the European Modeling
and Simulation Symposium 2006,
the purpose of the track is to give an insight into results achieved
and challenges still to be met of modelling and
simulation in social and organizational domains.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the areas listed below:
- Modelling and Simulation of Traffic with a particular focus on individual-based approaches
- Modelling and Simulation of Opinion Dynamics including electoral systems
- Epidemic models emphasizing behavioral aspects (e.g. travelling)
- Urban and regional dynamics, e.g. modelling informal dynamics of Megacities
- Modelling and Simulation of Demographic, Social and Economic Conditions, e.g. by using Microsimulation approaches
- Formation and Emergence of Social networks, Emergence of Norms, e.g. based on socio-psychological models
