"Design and displacement – social studies of science and technology" Call for Abstracts
ESSA 2012
Computational Modelling and Social Simulation refers comprehensively to current scientific paradigms – be it complexity, generative modelling, micro-macro duality, scaling problems, system theory, process dynamics, or heterogeneity, just to mention a few.
eGovPoliNet & Crossover Roadmapping Workshop @ IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences
The workshop is part of the projects’ activities to establish a strong community on ICT for governance and policy modelling and to stimulate discussion on future grand challenges and research needs. With the particular objectives of the projects to cross-fertilize among key actors of distinct disciplines and policy practitioners, the workshop will first present results from • the State of the Art tools and methodologies for next-generation policy-making (Crossover), and from • the study to investigate the coverage of objectives of FP 7 and future research needs (eGovPoliNet)
WCSS 2012
Social sciences are moving in a direction in which their various constituent parts are sharing a common set of foundations, languages and platforms, which makes the social sciences be unprecedentedly behavioral, algorithmic and computational. At the turn of the 21st century, a group of computer scientists and social scientists worked together to initiate new series of conferences and to establish new academic organizations to give momentum to this emerging integration now known as computational social sciences. Among the largest of such conferences, WCSS is sponsored by the three regional scientific associations on social simulations: ESSA (the European Social Simulation Association), PAAA (Pacific Asian Association for Agent-based Approach in Social Systems Sciences) and CSSS (Computational Social Science Society, US). It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields on social simulations, whether theoretical, experimental, practical, or technical, to present the latest results of various researches and to discuss emergent phenomena and modeling issues of a variety of research subjects related to social simulations, which will provide further understanding on social complex problems.
ECCS 2012
European Conference on Complex Systems has the following tracks: Foundations of Complex Systems, Information and Computation Prediction, Policy and Planning, Environment Biological Complexity Interacting Populations, Collective Behavior Social Systems, Economics and Finance. Experts meet to discuss and advance findings in the field.
IFIP EGOV 2012
The 11th conference on electronic government will be held in Kristiansand, Norway. This conference brings together the top of the scientific research community in e‐government and e-governance from all over the world. The conference provides a highly interactive and professional forum for exchanging research concepts, progress and results. As in the past, IFIP EGOV will feature refereed paper presentations, invited keynote presentations, high‐level discussion panels, workshops and a PhD Colloquium.
Minitrack at AMCIS 2012: Social Aspects of Public Sector Information Systems
The management of public services involve planning and implementing various policies in order to solve diverse and complex problems caused by social and economic contexts. The minitrack along AMCIS will dig into key questions of this area.
8th Int. Conference on Social Science Methodology
RC33 is the International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Logic and Methodology in Sociology. Its conference is the major international forum for current and fundamental issues in social science methodology and since 1984 has attracted scholars from all over the world and from a diverse range of academic fields and disciplines. The focus of the conference is on innovations and current best practice in all aspects of social science research methodology. It provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary methods, as applied in a range of settings and disciplinary contexts, to hear about emerging methods, tools, techniques and technologies, and to discover what resources are available to social science researchers and users of research
EcoMod2012
The goal of the conference is to promote the exchange of ideas among economists conducting quantitative analysis for policy and decision-making in the public and private sector. The conference will cover all areas of applied modeling in economics.
IISC-12
The International Conference on Social Computing: Fundamentals, Development Technologies, Social and Humanities Effects (IISC-12) will be the forum bringing together researchers from all countries, disciplines and applications to exchange new ideas, results and techniques in different facets of social computing and its applications.
